Chapter 2 - chapter 2

the beginning

"QUENTIN GET OVER HERE" yelled Jackson as he held a wrench with all his might

"LET GO OF THAT FUCKING WRENCH BEFORE IT TAKES YOUR ARMS OFF" yelled quentin as he ran over

"If I let go of this wrench a quarter of the habit will lose oxygen" said Jackson while looking at quentin

"I hope you called a repair Droid or we'll be stuck her for hours" said quentin as he graded the wrench to hold it in place

"of course I did mom would have killed me if we missed dinner" said Jackson as he let go of the wrench to rest his arms

"good then the Droid should be here soon" said quentin while looking down the hallway for the droid

as the two swapped places they heard the distinct sound of rubber on metal and the whirling of an electric motor

"please be still for repair" said the Droid as it approached the two

as Jackson held the wrench as still as he could the repair Droid laid a thin sheet of metal over the pipe joint and began welding the temporary patch on it was slow work but the Droid finished welding the sheet and procided to grab the wrench

"please report to the repair Forman immediately" said the Droid

after a fifteen minute run to the Forman the two boys told him between breaths the Forman then activated a priority 3 alarm in sector 4

"thank you both whoever did the last inspection can enjoy being apart of the mining team for the next three centuries" said the Forman as he began typing

Jackson and quentin began to sweat and fidget and think of how they took off work early and didn't check sector 3's ventilation

"now tell me the truth you two did you skip sector 3's ventilation check" asked the Forman

"yes we did" said the two in unison

"ah well then you both ARE DEMOTED TO GROUND MINER NOW GET OUT AND GET TO WORK" yelled the foreman as he slammed his first on his dest

the two boys scrambled out the door and practically ran to to a commons room

"mom's gonna be pissed" said Jackson as he sat down and put his hand on his head

"you think mom's gonna be mad just wait till dad finds out" said quentin as he paced back and forth
