2 Ch.2| 40 to 16

As the doors opened again, he could see all of his diligent employees, it brighten his mood slightly. Yet he kept his same bothered expression on as he made his way to his office door.

"Janice! I need a new suit," He said, only after seeing his assistant nod did he continue, "And have Pierre delete the footage of any security cameras on G street."

"Are there any witnesses to be dealt with this time, Jarres?" Janice asked with an amiable attitude as she followed him into his office, closing the door behind her. However, once she was finally alone with him, she changed her posture to match the personality of a teenager. Though she waited patiently as she watched him think about it, she looked rather tired of his antics.

"Hm... yes, make them forget what happened, please." Jarres answered after a bit of thought. He smiled when the girl from earlier appeared in his mind. He added to his orders, "Tell Pierre I want the name of a girl. If he watches the footage from earlier he should know who I'm talking about."

"So what happened?" Janice asked with a sigh.

"The craziest thing really. I was crushed by a large piece of cement from the building on G street." Jarres turned to look back at her with an amused smile.

"I see, I'll have to look into that, huh? Now I suppose I'll go get you some new attire." Janice turned on her heels, her professional aura returning as she walked out the door of his office.

"That's why you're the best!" He called after her as she left. Once he was alone he went to sit at his desk, after dying once today he was rather energized, time to start doing paperwork!

Jarres picked up a document requesting to add a new phone to his company, Cloud, that needed his approval. However, he found a problem with it, a big one. First off, it stated that the software format would be largely different, which would cause some difficulties for people switching. Worst part, Pierre wouldn't be used to the new security format so it would take time for him to hack, if he ever needed to. He'd have to fire whoever came up with the idea of changing it up so suddenly. After denying the request for the new phone he continued with the rest.

Once he is on break he planned to 'die'. Besides being immortal, he can choose how long he can go without being revived, so it would be easy to fake his death and wake up in a casket later on. Dying earlier that day was a simple minor hiccup that could be dealt with. Jarres's attention was taken away from his work when someone barged into his office.

"Phil! Why can't you be a little more careful!?" In came Pierre! His untamed hair and poise resembling some sort of lowlife. He was holding a folded business suit, Janice must've sent him.

"Who's Phil?" Jarres nonchalantly looked up from his documents.

"Your new identity. Oh and don't worry, I'll take good care of your company while you're 'dead'." Pierre tossed the suit to his seemingly good friend. He added, "You look like you just went through a meat grinder by the way."

"...it's Jarres's 40th birthday, I'm not getting any older and people will start noticing, after all I still pass for a teenager... How old is Phil?" 'Jarres' leaned back in his chair, ignoring Pierre's comments and getting straight to the point.

"Sixteen, Your full name is Phillip Adam Johnson." Pierre replied with a little more seriousness.

"How original..." 'Phillip' smiled. How weird to go from 40 to 16, he was really pushing the limit on his age. Truthfully, he looked to be about 20, luckily with cosmetics he could always make himself look a bit older. Growing some facial hair always helped as well, oh that's right, he'd have to shave now. 'Phil' watched as Pierre turned to leave.
