"Here you go sir!"

"Thank for the delivery." The shop owner waved goodbye to Hansel.

"You're welcome from the Raccoon Scouts!" Hansel closed the door and looked at the pair. "How many left?"

"One left." Moxxie cross out the address they stopped at.

"Sweet!"

"How far this one?" Emma asked as she was leaning against the wagon.

Tap their phone as the disguised imp was already doing that. "A bit of a walk but not too far. Hmm look like specific instruction for the batch to drop off."

"I think that was for some company business."

"What for?"

"I don't know. I'm just relieved they bought all this junk." Point at the loads of different cookies. "Look too happy to buy it all."

"Got horrid taste."

"There not that bad."

"Only one flavor good out the bunch."

"Emma can you text your father were almost done." Motion the pair to come along Hansel grabs the handle of the cart as he starts to drag it. Emma gave them the thumbs up as she was already doing that.

This was kind of nice. To spend time with these two. One of the rare few humans Moxxie able to mind around their presence. Same with only certain sinners. Yet, they did have to step back a bit for their sake in the last few months. At least physically. A text or phone call was fine on some occasions. Now don't get them wrong still kept the threat over Ralphie head but now intervene too much in the life. But have step back in a way the family being well a family in their life. Can't always be involved. It will possibly get to the point a visit will only be once a year. Possible for the best. Hopefully the children will understand.

"Hey Mox are we almost there?"

"Looks it. Just around this corner and should walk a bit longer."

"Okay!"

Just like Moxxie said it was around the corner. After a bit of walking Moxxie did pick up the gated-up fences. That's fine. Do see a lot of them in the city and parts with open areas. Shrug as they look back down on their phone. It didn't look like there were too many buildings in these parts. "Should be right here."

The three stare at the large multi-story structure building. The fences were now barbed wire. Surveillance cameras. Arm guards outside by the door. Could spot parking lot with many vehicles that possible have a gates area to be let in and not the front. What really caught the three attention was the logo.

"Dhorks? Seriously." Emma was not looking at all impressed.

"The guy was a little dorkie." Hansel scratched his hat a bit.

"Dhorks?" Moxxie stare at it a bit longer Kind a sound familiar. Not in the they know what the word means. But something else. Something stupid?

Eh.

Doesn't matter.

"Come on let's give these dorks their cookies!"

"Yeah, one dork to another."

"Hey! Watch it before I cut your pigtails tonight!"

"Do it and ill strangle you with them?"

Moxxie let the two argue as they approach the entrance. The two guards stopped them. At least they think of their guards. It's just the uniforms giving them mixed signals.

"Halt! State your business." One of the two sunglasses wearing guards took a step up.

"Dropping off cookies from the Raccoon scout." Show the clip board with the paperwork.

Raise an eyebrow while the other pulling out their phone. "You look a little old to be selling cookies."

Point at Emma, Hansel and the cart behind them. Thrust the clipboard. "Here takes a closer look."

Snatch it while reading it over. Flip the paper work. Look at the cart of cookies. Then at each child. Back forth a lot. The other guard walking up.

"Yep, these are for us. He'll come down up front to get them."

The three soon inside the front lobby inside. Two behind the counter. While two others were using these devices scanning the boxes of cookies. All of them were wearing outfits just like the guards were outside. Suits, sunglasses of all things.

"There safe. No, poison, tracking, bombs, or rodents in the cookies." One of the guards placed a box down.

Emma titled her heads at the them "Why you all wearing sunglasses inside?"

"That's classified."

"Are you in the FBI?"

"That's classified."

"Are you dorks?"

"No, comment."

"They are defiantly dorks." Hansel whispered to his sister who nodded in agreement and continued with the questions.

Moxxie not bother to stop her while they just waited. Seriously they could all just leave but Hansel made it clear the one who bought it gotta get it. Part of some scout code. Looking at the ceiling was boring but inside I felt a scratch. There was something off about this place.

Besides being name Dhorks. Which by the way. Is becoming to sound very familiar along with all these similar outfits, sunglasses they notice around when others come in and out.

A ding can be heard from an elevator. Two other tux weirdos came out. Just glanced at the front entrance but then continued onward to another set of doors. Next, a janitorial cart coming out along with an older looking man. He looks undernourished from his age. Yet he was letting out a humming tune filled with energy. The only one saw far not dressed like everyone else in tux, sunglasses. A faded D letter on the pocket of the shirt. Look at their direction and wave casually, "Hello, hello everyone."

The three guards were not looking but waved at him. Hansel waved at his seat. Emma half paying attention while still asking questions to the guards. At this point to annoy them. Moxxie just stared at their direction slightly and then went back to the guards.

"Are those cookies I see?"

"They are old man." Wave the box in his direction. "Can't you tell?"

"My, they look delectable." Ignored the sarcastic question while bringing the cart over halfway. "Enough for the whole office."

"There not for eating."

"That stupid if you're not using it for that." Emma pointed out.

"Kid the adults are talking."

"You adult bought cookies that not going to be used for consumption." Moxxie pointed out next. "What you trying to do? Is this some conspiracy theory of cookie companies trying to take over the world?

"What? Of course not." Turn away and whispered in their earpiece, "Alert onto us for the cookie formula. I repeat."

They heard all that but won't say anything. Nope. Not going to be involved. Already to far as it is delivering cookies.

"May I have one?"

"No." All of them shouted at the janitor who fumbled back into his cart. Knocked it over. Supplies fall or roll away.

Hansel and Emma both go over to help the janitor up. A bit too easy like he weighed nothing. While Moxxie picked up the cart. The others look gross or push the cart away.

"You, okay?"

"Im fine but thank you both." A tired smile at the children.

"Here."

The janitorial cart backed up, along with everything else.

"Why thank you. Didn't have too."

Moxxie shrugged.

"Hey how about stop wasting time." One of them points down the hallway. "The restroom has a bit of plumbing problem. Get to it."

"Hey, knock it off and give him a minute." Moxxie sent a very unimpressed look. Besides it looks like the old man haven't eaten for long time. The outfit looks like it would fall off his body if it wasn't zipped up.

"He doing a job anyway."

"It's okay lad. I got this. These bones still got some energy left." Grab the cart. A pair of very dark-colored pupils stared at the bunch then brightened when he gave them a cheerful smile. . "Have a good afternoon you three. Thank you again for helping me out. Won't be bothered."

Stare at him just leaving the lobby. Tense hearing the employee rudely muttered under their mouth. It was just an accident. Don't need to say stuff like that.

"Your jackasses." Emma looked at them all and turned to Hansel, "Never sell cookies to these dorks again.

"Woah!"

"Language kid!"

"Aren't you going to reprimand her?" One of them look at Moxxie. "That was a bit much don't you think?"

Raise an eyebrow, "I'm just the babysitters."

Just kept grumbling but then back to looking over the cookies. Soon another ding can be heard as another one in a suit comes out. This time he walked over to them all. Outfit like the others but with the letter D on his chest

"Hey there the dork I sold the cookies too." Hansel point at the man.

"Sorry for the wait. I was preoccupied." Look over the cookies in the wagon ignoring the three. "Everything good?"

"Yes."

"No, activities."

"How about the questions?"

"Too many. Especially that one." Point at the girl. Who growled at them and made the two jumps. Did her teeth and eyes change? Maybe they should look into new prescription sunglasses.

"Eh she a kid. They have rights."

"No, we don't."

"Thanks again bringing them over scout." Turn to salute to Hansel, "You're helping out so much as you think."

"Welcome?" Stare at him weirdly but salutes. Made a note to self to tell his scout group to avoid the ones in suits. Or at least make them go pick up cookies for now on.

Smile away but then look at the adult with them. Lower the glasses down as he looks over them. "Have I met you before?"

"How would I know?" Stare at him. Something feels off when they look at this human. No, missing really. Maybe he was wearing a hat?

"You positive?"

"I think I would remember a group of b-list tux wearing organization."

"Organization? Us? We're just simple. Innocent paper selling company." Smile while it looks like they were sweating fast.

"Yeah. Okay. Fine were going to leave now and let you get back to your paper company." Got off the chair as the other two followed along. Grab the handle by the wheel. "Also, tell your employees to stop being greedy a-holes and share the cookies with that janitor."

"Noted."

Doesn't believe him.

"That was a waste."

"Hey were done! Off to get ice cream!"

"Yeah!"

Moxxie nods in agreement with the pair. That is part of the plan plus it was their father's money. Look at the barbed fence. Paper Company.

Sure.

"So, DHORKS was the company legit name?" Ralphie looked at Moxxie. Finds it weird to talk to them like this.

"Yep." Shrug. The two of them can hear the children, along with the dogs running around in excitement.

Both were very pleased about their trip to go to a theme park attraction. They were getting ready right now as they are going out to eat.

"That sounds stupid for a paper company name. A coffee company sure I can roll with that." Check his watch, "Kids come on were going to miss our reservations!"

"Coming!"

"Is your girlfriend going to be there?"

"She not my girlfriend."

Moxxie snort as they heard it all from the pair. Some woman their father befriended. Met her a few times and the kids seem to like her. So, who knows what can happen? "I better get going."

"Better say bye to those two before they get hissy."

"I am."

"Oh no!"

Both turn to see Hansel slide in the kitchen. Emma following, He held a box of those cookies. "I forgot one! Someone order will miss a box."

"Good we saved their stomach and can't get a refund back."

"It'll be fine Hansel. I can just call them tomorrow."

"But it goes to that dhork company. They ordered 35 boxes. One missing." Look at it and frown. "Can we stop by to drop it off?"

"Hansel we can't today and we actually don't have time."

"I can do it."

The pair looked at Moxxie.

The imp shrugged, "I can go by to drop it off."

"Really?"

"Yep." Goes to take the box and walk out the door. "You all go have fun with your father and not-girlfriend dinner party."

"She not."

"Dad you're not fooling any of us."

Well, what do you all think?

We got DHORKS in the building here!

Cookies for all, even the disgusting kind.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
