"I'm sorry but I can't let you lend out this book until you've returned the other ones."

The tanned librarian pushes the guide on welding metal back to me and turns to her pc screen.

"You still haven't returned M.C. Babcock's 'Everything You Need to Know About Circuits & Wiring' and there are a few others on the list as well."

"That's because I still need them. Please, Ms..."

"Your prof, huh? And who is that?" Ms. Hernández seems unimpressed as she types something into her computer. 

I put on a sweet tone. Well, as sweet as my voice can get.

"Mr. Dimmer. He told me you're always very helpful."

The woman's eyes widen for a split second and a small smile curls her lips.

"Oh, he said that?"

And with that she has swallowed the bait.
