26 The Pitiful James

After hitting the person, Vladimir jumped back to the entrance of the room to dodge any possible counterattack from the person. But, the person didn't fight back, instead he heard the person cursed.

"Fuck!"

"Why does it sound familiar?" Vladimir asked himself after hearing the person cursed.

Vladimir thought for a bit before realizing that the person he hit was actually Marvin. He was going to apologize but suddenly the room brighten up, and Vladimir saw Marvin standing in front of him while rubbing the part he hit with the dustpan.

"With a dustpan? Seriously?" Marvin sarcastically asked when he saw the weapon Vladimir used to hit him.

"Sorry!" Vladimir awkwardly said while scratching his head.

"It's okay. Next time, you should turn on the switch when you got inside, not after you hit someone inside." Marvin said while fixing himself.

But suddenly....

Both of them stared at each other in shock.

Marvin looked at Vladimir and noticed that he was outside the room so it's impossible for him to turn on the lights since the switch was not outside.

Vladimir also looked at Marvin and noticed that there was no switch near him, so it's also impossible for him to turn on the lights.

It can only be turn on if....

Vladimir and Marvin looked at where the switch is located. Then, they noticed a person wearing a janitors uniform looking at them.

"What are you two doing here?" The janitor asked when it saw the two teenagers looking at him. they janitor left hand was holding the switch while the right hand was holding on a walkie talkie radio.

Vladimir and Marvin looked at each other. It was as if there conversing with their eyes. After a few seconds, both of them nodded at each other and charged at the janitor.

The janitor didn't panicked, instead it immediately grabbed the walkie talkie in his waist with his right hand, and immediately turned it on.

"There are intruders in room 607! Hel-" The janitor didn't finished what he wanted to say when Vladimir and Marvin disarmed him.

Vladimir smashed the walkie talkie on the wall which immediately broke it into pieces, then he hold the janitor's right hand to disarm it. Next Marvin moved behind the janitor before kicking its knees.

*Bang

The janitor fell on the floor with his right hand, and his head being hold by Vladimir, while his left hand, and his back was being hold by Marvin.

The janitor's situation was really helpless. He can only move his lower part, but what's the use of it, he can't back kick them since he doesn't know how.

"Red we found the thief!" Vladimir turned on his communicator and said.

"Release that person! You two just caught a janitor who's supposedly going to clean that room." Red replied through the communicator before he smack his forehead.

Red saw this janitor walked inside room 607 awhile before Vladimir and Marvin appeared. He was warning them through the communicator that the person inside is not the thief, but unexpectedly, both Vladimir and Marvin's communicator were turn off, so his warning was useless.

"What!" Vladimir facepalm before releasing the janitor.

Vladimir realized then the reason why there's a janitor's cart placed outside the room. Because there is a janitor inside the room.

Realizing that he can now move, the janitor slowly stand up and looked at the two angrily.

"Do you think that someone as old as me can become the thief?!" The Janitor yelled.

Maybe, Vladimir and Marvin thought.

Vladimir and Marvin look at the janitor from head to toe, and they realized that the janitor was actually someone in his mid 50s already.

"Sorry!" Vladimir and Marvin apologized. They charged at the old janitor immediately because they really thought that he was the thief their looking for.

"Alright, alright! Good thing I'm still healthy or else I might be having a heart attack because of what you two did." The old janitor said before patting Vladimir and Marvin's shoulder.

Vladimir and Marvin heaved a sighed of relief, but they still can't help but thought of what would have happened if the janitor was not healthy. Would that mean that they might accidentally kill the old janitor because of their carelessness?

Vladimir and Marvin looked at each other before gulping a mouthful of saliva. Luckily the old janitor was healthy or else we might killed him because of what we've done.

Soon, a night shift security team arrived in room 607. They escorted the old janitor, Vladimir, and Marvin to their office, maybe their going to ask them what happened.

.....

Meanwhile, Miya was fast walking on the 8th floor hallway. She was trying to get as far as possible from James. Miya was thinking that if she got near James even for a second, that guy might do something indecent with her.

James on the other hand was chasing Miya as fast as he can. What he was thinking was completely different as what Miya was thinking.

James was thinking before of scoring a point in Miya. But, right now, he was chasing her afraid that Miya might suddenly face the thief.

"A ghost!" James suddenly shouted while pointing at one of the classroom. He was hoping that Miya will stop hearing the word 'ghost'. Well, all the girls are basically afraid of ghost that's the reason why he thought of using the word 'ghost'

Miya ignored James, she continue walking.

Suddenly, on the side of the biology lab, a man was standing. The half of the man's body has a skin on it while the other half was skinless. It was a sculpture use to teach every parts of the human body in biology class. But, unfortunately for Miya it was like a person in a horror movie.

"Ahhhhhh!!" Miya screamed before rushing back to where she came from.

Looking at Miya running at him, James smirked while opening his hands wide, waiting for Miya to fall on it.

James was imagining the scene where he's opening his arms, and Miya will fall right on it. They will then stare at each other, their faces will slowly move closer, until both their lips will touch each other.

But, unexpectedly, James imagination remained as an imagination.

Looking at James in an open arms, Miya rolled her eyes, and when her body and James arm were only inches away, she moved to the side to avoid falling at his arms.

Miya continued running away.

James was left on the hallway while in an open arms. He didn't move for a few seconds. He was really pitiful. The moment was already there, just a few inches and Miya will fall directly on his arms, but out of his expectations, Miya moved to the side to avoid his open arms.

"Wait up! That was just a sculpture!" James shouted before following Miya.
