On break, damn union regulations. I think I saw them all by the water cooler. . .

I knew letting them have a water cooler was a bad idea!

Seriously, even I could have told you that was bad news bears. Now all they do is sit around and gossip.

We minions are good at hiding, but I can't tell you where to look. Sworn to secrecy.

Damn. It's always difficult breaking in new ones.

My evil overlord... er... boss... has me rather well trained, but there is a certain code of honor amongst we minions!

Overlords have codes too. We're just more flexible with them.

What do you need minions for?

~~I'm maybe building a replica of the castle for Evan on the other side of the greenhouse complete with a moat and a drawbridge and a couple of animatronic dragons...and I need minions to dig the moat~~

No reason in particular.

I'm naturally suspicious at this time of the morning, Lex.

A small construction project by the greenhouse. I want it finished before winter comes. Then I can get the electricians in to wire the lights ~~and the drawbridge~~

Did my oaf of a brother drag you out of bed to go running with him? I swear if he knocks on my door at six again I'm tethering him to the treadmill.

I don't want you to define what that project is do I?

Yes, he did, and then I promptly ran circles around him.

It's a present for Evan. A little fort of sorts. ~~The dragons are only 20' long and I told them not to make them so that they breathe fire.~~

Good. It keeps him humble. I can usually hold my own in a short race, it's the distance running he kills me with. I'm not as young as I used to be.

A little fort? Of course.

He's not as young as he thinks he is.

It's a small replica of the castle with a few minor...adjustments. There might be some noise as the construction crews dig the tunnel from the house to where the fort will be.

Tell me you've shared that with him?

You're building Evan a castle on the castle grounds? There's going to be a tunnel too? Oh, Lex.

Of course. When he was too out of breath to snap back to. It was delicious.

It's not an exact replica it only has 6 rooms. Every castle needs a secret tunnel. How else is he supposed to flee from the revolting peasants? And don't worry about the moat. I've designed it with motion sensors so that if he were to fall in the moat will automatically drain itself in 30 seconds. And the anamtronic dragons don't breathe real fire.

Next time, bring your video phone and we'll upload it to YouTube.

Likely doing their jobs as quickly and efficiently as possible.

One would hope. But seeing as it's 8:30 and my construction minions have yet to arrive I'm beginning to get annoyed.

Would you like me to look into it for you?

Thank you, Tess but I wouldn't want to waste your talents on something so menial.

Very well. If you do need anything, I'll be in my office.

People like me put them away pretty quickly. That's why they're minions, right?

I've probably killed more than a few. Sorry!

Good minions are so hard to find these days, aren't they?
