Chapter 38

"Annie, so nice of you to show up today," the dispatcher cracked. I smiled and flipped him the bird. I knew he was just trying to yank my chain. He'd been here since way before I started, probably when Moses was a kid, so I'm sure he needed any diversion just to stay sane. He really wasn't a bad guy, and he usually tried to save me some of the better deliveries – the ones from regular customers who were known to be good tippers.

Some of the restaurants and groceries gave out free food instead of cash tips, which was also fine by me. On a good day I could get a free lunch and a little sack of something to take home for my dinner. Today was definitely shaping up to be a good day. My first delivery was for a bakery, so score one for free breakfast!
