Chapter 7 - Big Davis

"oh shoot I forgot to bring that stuff before as I was too eager to explain the work to you". Jojo said

Crap they both are so stupid I guess they are the real reason behind the company's breakdown lol.

"Don't worry Mr. Jojo it will be in the store room I will go and get it".

"Thanks a lot, but do you know where the store room is? It's on the opposite side behind the restroom".

I went asap and pushed the door hard as fuck to minimize the time. I was thinking of completing all of the things they tell me to eat something cause my gut started making weird noises already.

As soon as I opened the door a completely black shadow of a man sitting idle and doing absolutely nothing.

I freaked the shit out of me as it was the nastiest jumpscare I ever encountered.

"What the hell who and what the hell are you doing here out of all the places like this?."

He was a frail old man on the verge of extinction just like greenpale.

He did not utter a single word out of his mouth.

I was creeping out I saw the brooms and mops placed on a rack long across.

I needed to go through the long path a

And also my bladder was about to leak.

If I returned empty-handed then they will think I'm useless, so what should I do now?

I think this man who works in this department can be in charge of security or things like that like handy labor or an extra hand in handling vegetables.

I should take the risk and assume the possibility of not getting attacked by him.

I mean why would he attack? He doesn't look psycho nor he looks normal nor this man shows any sign of human life either.

I clenched my fingers to form a hard fist and began walking beside him keeping one eye on him and one on mops.

He turned his neck syncing with my movement, I completely ignored him and put my both eyes forward, and ran as fast as I can.

I picked up the brooms, mops, detergent, and bucket, again I have to face this man but now I got relieved since he didn't bother me.

Anyways "Ignorance is bliss". I rushed down towards the next-door apartment hall and handed over these things.

"So let's get our asses to drudgery".

I first took out the big junk of plastic, metals, and papers, then we scanned the entire area with our brooms and also took out the spider webs hanging like the leaves of willows.

Then we sprayed water all across the hall and Swept our mops which almost made my soul vanish from this world.

I was gasping heavily and released my body freely on the ground. As I was the one who doesn't have any prior habit of physical workouts especially when it was to cleanliness.

LB's clothes that I was wearing turned grey and blackish while removing some debris supplemented with my foul-odored sweat.

I don't give a damn about that jerk after what misery he led me into...

I am a believer in the butterfly effect cause it makes a lot of sense says the final destination series, for example, one of the most intriguing and well directed and written films.

"You okay kid? Need some beer or water" Jojo asked

"Water is more than fine".

I don't know how can some people drink soft drinks or beer when they are thirsty AF. I have seen many, and don't they even feel disgusted to ask me "hey we can have a Coke if you're dehydrated". That Dumbassfuck doesn't even know what hydrate means.

"Hey, I just forget to tell you one thing, Jojo". I said.

"Hmmm"

"I saw an old man sitting in the storeroom which scared the hell outta me, is he one the greenpale employee? Or an intruder?"

"What?" Jojo shrugged making a weird face.

"Yeah it must be Goldie, no he is not a technical employee but he assists everyone in handling the report files, transferring them, ordering some snacks, and exchanging some talks". Yun said

As I guessed he was a working member which was so obvious but he didn't give any vibe of a human.

"He didn't even move an inch and was intently glaring at me just like how Jeffery Dahmer did to his victims".

They both started chucking followed by a wheezed laugh.

"Good one," Jojo said exposing his uneven teeth.

"He was working for a long time even before we got here, he has mild dyslexia but maintained a quite healthy physique even at this stage of life. And no need to stress he is not Dahmer he thought of freaking you out just for fun." Yun explained

The good thing was he didn't think I was an intruder in his field as he was seeing me for the first time, I barely even looked like a man, I have a feminine beardless face. And thank God as Yun told me he is quite healthy so if he wished I was about to get thrashed on my first day.

"I see, so Jojo your hands are popping out veins like the 5 mighty rivers of Punjab and your slender fit body tells me you worked here for a well amount of time, still didn't know about him when I asked you? you seemed perplexed".

"He doesn't give a fuck about the technical or nontechnical staff, this guy only does what he's told and hangs around only with me". Yun said giving a good amount of laugh.

"Yeah, I guess I never noticed him, all these years, and what have you done all these years except watch Netflix? You have a keen eye and could read out a person, at first sight, you could have been a good cop." Jojo said staring directly into my eyes.

A wave of regret hit on my brain's shore. If only I had been more serious about --

"Hey why don't we name this place as we renovated it with our hands, we shall have a right to name it," said Jojo.

"What about 'big Davis' Yun said.

"Is this an effin tennis court or something?" I made my point.

"Big Davis sounds brutal, let's call it 'The Big Davis'. Jojo supplemented Yun

Of course, they have matching mentalities the reason why they are so close reminds me of Pinkman and Walter (made for each other).
