The next day at work. Morning, Plato was ready to leave for work along with Dimitri. "Kid," said a voice from the other room. "Come here," said Sergey. Plato went to the other room. Sergey was seated on his desk smoking a cigarette . And the stupor was smelt easily by Plato. "You are the new one," asked Sergey. "Yes, I'm Plato,"'he said introducing himself. "I'm Sergey," the both of them introduced themselves. "Aren't you a little too young for this job," asked Sergey. "It is Dangerous out there," warned Sergey. "I travel with the trucks, that is all,"'replied Plato. "And what is inside the trucks," asked Sergey. "Waste," replied Plato. "Nuclear waste," said Sergey. "And a bit of it, everyday. It will kill you,"'said Sergey. "I wear a mask, always," replied Plato. "A mask," laughed Sergey. "As he took a long puff of smoke." "Where are you from Plato?" asked Sergey. "Greece," replied Plato. "Go back there," said Sergey. "Plato, lets go," said Dimitri. "We are getting late for work." The two of them made their way to work. There was silence between the two of them. And finally Dimitri spoke "Forget what he said, He was in a stupor, Sergey." "Ok,"'replied Plato. "And Dimitri, a drunk man wont scare me that easily," he added. "Lets get to work," said Dimitri. The two of them walked inside the gates. And yet again, Dimitri went to his office and Plato to the changing room. He got changed up and went to the entrance of the building, waiting for the truck to arrive. "How are you this morning Plato," asked the lady at the reception. "Feeling just fine Madam," replied Plato. The lady smiled. The truck arrived with Andrei driving inside. Plato got in and then removed his mask as he sat in the enclosed drivers area. "Morning," said Andrei. "Morning," said Plato. The two of them drove away from the compound. Andrei saw Plato looking at his driving and making a note of all the movements in the memory. "Be patient Plato," laughed Andrei. "I was not doing anything,"'said Sergey. Andrei did not say a word and just drove ahead. The snow was a lot heavier than the usual. "Too much snow,"!said Plato. "A lot more than usual,"!replied Andrei. "Should we stop,"!asked Plato. "No, that's not required,"'replied Andrei. "Lets just do the job, otherwise we will get in trouble," said Andrei. "Trouble with whom?" asked Plato. "With Mr. Peter. He is the director of our department," replied Andrei. "You have not met him?" asked Andrei. "No, Replied," Plato. "He is a just man. A good man. One day you will meet him. Once you become a driver, i think that is the protocol now," replied Andrei. "Mr. Peter. I hope to meet him soon," said Plato. "He is a politician too, very well connected. He could have been State secretary . He was promised of big things in his younger days," said Andrei. "A State secretary?" said Plato. "Yes, a brilliant man. He would have been good for the people,"'replied Andrei. "What happened? Now, he is a director in a department of a Nuclear plant," asked Plato. "Plato, you are too young to understand this," said Andrei. "Please do tell," said Plato. "Ok, Alright. I will tell you," replied Plato. "In this world Plato, Integrity comes at a big price. And if you want to make it big you have to lose integrity once in a while." Said Andrei. "But Andrei, will you not lose it all. If you lose it just once," asked Plato. Andrei looked at Plato. "You are smarter than you look,"'said Andrei. "Precisely. That was crystal clear to Mr. Peter. And he never went lost his integrity, not even once," said Andrei. "He never did anything, that did not feel right to him," "So," asked Plato. "So he is here, in this Yard . Throwing away dust in the fields, with the rest of us!" said Andrei. Andrei looked at Plato. "When he could have been plucking diamonds in his garden," he added. "A big man," said Plato. "A great man," replied Andrei. Plato Smiled. "Maybe one day, I will be like him," said Plato. "Trust me kid, said Andrei. You do not want to be like him," he said. A price no human can handle. Plato did not speak. I will, he thought to himself with firm conviction The truck entered the yard and they went behind the fences. They finally reached 45. "Go on Plato, do your job.," and put on your mask. Plato put his mask and got down to do his job. That Evening, Plato and Dimitri went back to their accommodation after work. The tow of them enter the house. Sergey is sat there in the living room with a bottle in his hand. "Good evening fellas," said Sergey. "Back from the pit?" he asked the both of them. "A good days work," replied Dimitri. "Ha!" exclaimed Sergey. "You do not work like the rest of us. You sit in your tower , with a pen and a paper." "Ain't that right Plato," said Sergey. Dimitri ignored him and went to his room. "You work in the plant with us?" asked Plato. "Yes, I drive the trucks," replied Sergey. "Me too," said Plato in a happy manner. "Actually, I do not drive," I'm the assistant. "Do not worry Plato, one day. You will drive like me," said Sergey. "You are a good driver?" asked Plato. "The best," replied Sergey. "Will you trach me?" asked Plato. "One day Kid. I'm busy these days,"'replied Sergey pointing his hand to the bottle. Plato laughed. "Who is your Partner?" asked Sergey. "Andrei,"'replied Plato. "Andrei. He is a good bloke. You can learn a lot from him," said Sergey.
