“You brought the right paperwork,” Brenda said.

“Most people only bring their anger.”

“Anger doesn’t come with a timestamp,” I said.

Brenda reached into the pocket of her gray sweater and took out an official red rubber stamp and a small black ink pad.

She opened the master compliance file she had tucked under her arm.

She pressed the stamp onto the black pad and brought it down on the front cover of the district file.

Brenda shut the official compliance binder and stamped VOID across the cover page.
