2 HURRY UP!!!
The day was cold and the occasional breeze didn't make it any better. 2 men were making their way to a quiet community.
This quiet community was the creation of boundless entertainment provided by the technology available in this world. It kept people inside their houses most of their days, with little to no reason to go outside except for work and a select few other activities.
The men were a little grumpy, it was completely their boss's fault that their even out in the cold right now. The 2 men didn't talk to each other and walked to their destination in silence.
Then one of the men spoke up, "Borakous, why do you think the boss sent us to deal with such an insignificant matter?"
The man who was referred to as Borakous was a stout man and was 2.3 meters tall, a mountain of muscle. Yet the man next to Borakous talked with leisure as if Borakous arms weren't slightly bigger than his own thighs.
Borakous replied saying, "I don't know, and I don't care, shut up and leave me alone." You think I want to theorize what the boss said here and what he said there with you?" Borakous was already getting a little annoyed by the other man, even though this is only their first exchange.
"This is the first time I spoke to you in 2 hours, have you not notice the deafening silence or do you just hate me that much, that a mere question would end up with you lashing out at me?" The man not backing down continued with another question.
"Oh, just shut up Ratchet, ain't nobody want to here your whiny voice, your the person who kicked EVERYONE under the bus just 2 days ago, I'm still getting punished for that you idiot." "All it took for everyone to come out ok is for you, to keep, your foul breath smelling, crusty, crooked lips shut, but alas you couldn't even do that, you can't even do your job correctly because your always on your phone." "Last I checked your the sole reason why we're lagging behind the other teams and probably the reason why we're here even doing this stupid task."
Borakous exploded at Ratchet with extreme anger, he was pissed, and was suffering because of the man next to him, and yet this man had the gall to expect something from him? Borakous was ridiculing the man in his mind.
With that Ratchet was silent...for a moment, and then spoke up once more laughing.
"Hey Borakous do you see that idiot."
"Your the only idio-, Pfft, who the hell is that?" Borakous who was in the midst of reprimanding Ratchet immediately started laughing.
In their field of vision was a man with only boxers on in the midst of a crowd with an embarrassed look on his face. The weird thing was that the man looked familiar to them.
That's when when Ratchet realized something, "wait a minute, this idiot was the very person the boss sent his message to."
The boss had instantly fielded a search on the person who he had accidently sent his private message to when he had realized his mistake, and eventually he was able to pull out a picture of the target, taken only 3 months ago.
"Your right, we gotta make sure he doesn't escape our sight so we can track his movement." Borakous agreed with Ratchet, he would like to leave as quickly as possible, this also meant completing their task as quickly as possible.
With that in mind they paid close attention to Josiac who was now running back to his apartment.
*************
"Sir, about 34 corporations have replied to your notice since a week ago." "If we were to take action now we would only need around 23 of these corporations, this number will continue to decline as time goes by, so I suggest we wait a few more days and take some corporations with more lenient deals with us." A young man that was slightly bowing and presenting a few dozen pages worth of contracts suggested to a middle aged man who was currently sitting on a sofa in an office room.
"Hmm, it seems like they indeed can't let such a big piece of pie slip past their hands." The middle aged man seemed to agree with the young man before him. "But that isn't what I'm looking for, forget the money, that's the least of my concern, how many corporations do we have the means to satisfy right now and how many will be needed if we did a full lunch right now." The middle aged man asked, disregarding the prior suggestion.
This left the young man stunned, was this game's production not meant to generate money? With only a slight moment of confusion the young man waved it off and replied, "we have the means to satisfy the request all of the organizations that have replied to us so far, but we will need a total 38 corporations support to uphold the tremendous upkeep costs the game requires."
"Then at most we only need to wait 1 more day", the middle aged man calmly replied. "Has everything been set up according to what I've asked for?" The middle aged man asks.
"Yes sir, we have done everything by your measurements, we are even free to use it right now." the young man replied with confidence.
Good start it up someone who will help test it out will be here in a few hours. The middle age man replies nonchalantly, a creepy smile was creeping up on to his face.
*************
The 2 men were walking towards the alley way and Ratchet had finally showed his true colors, talking non-stop as if he was a robot who was designed to speak and never stop speaking. The streets which had a miniature crowd were now practically barren, only the occasional passerby was to be seen.
This peculiarity was noted by the 2 men, "where the hell did everyone go?" Borakous asked in frustration as Ratchet was blowing his ear off.
"Hmm", taking a moment to think he paused and then replied, "Don't know, but that is weird that the streets were quite occupied just 20 mins ago but are now barren."
"Well, I am certainly not planning to be here any longer than I need to." Borakous said with a slight look of discomfort.
"Right, actually do you hear that?" Ratchet says while seeing a man rapidly closing in on their position.
"That's the target you idiot, get in alley quick!!!" Borakous hurriedly says this and pulls Ratchet into the alley way.
They quickly got ready, taking out any items that might be of use.
"You ready?" Borakous asked Rachet for conformation.
"Yep, ready as always bro" Ratchet replies.
When Josiac stepped right next to a dark alley way on his way home to prepare his daily tea he was jumped by 2 men, one giant man of pure muscles held him down while another, more lean man covered his face with a handkerchief. Josiac quickly lost his consciousness, and was transported away by the 2 men who had ambushed him.
A few hours later:
The 2 ambushers made their way to a sky scraper carrying a large box. Going into an elevator they contacted their boss using a phone.
"Boss, we got what you asked for, we're riding the elevator as we speak." Ratchet says to the person on the other side of line.
"Took you long enough, go too the top most floor, you have temporary access." A crisp voice answered from the other side.
"Thank you boss, sorry for the wait, we'll do better next time" Ratchet replies apologetically.
"Just hurry up and get over here" with that the phone line was cut.
Within a few minutes the 2 men reached the top most floor and approached a middle aged man that they were most certainly acquainted with.
This middle aged man was their boss. Behind him was 5 giant capsules filled with green fluids and his iconic sofa under his butt as he sat on it. Four of the capsules were already occupied, 2 men and 2 women was in the capsules.
"Good your finally here, go put him into the last capsule." The Boss said this as soon as he saw them.
"But boss, what are people doing in these capsules", Ratchet the nosy one of the 2 asked.
"Not important now go put the man into the capsule", their boss waved off the question and told them again what he wanted them to do.
"But boss I've never seen anything like this in real life, you can't just leave us hanging." Ratchet did not back down.
"Ratchet, why are you always like this, just do what your told and it can be explained later." The middle aged man was starting to lose his patience.
"But boss wh-"
"SHUT UP ALREADY AND DO WHAT YOUR TOLD TO DO, AND STOP COMING TO ME WITH ALL THESE BUTS." The middle aged man was done containing his annoyance, was his act of patience making this subordinate of his bold or what?
The 2 men now quickly made their way over to the empty capsule in the center.
"It's different from the others" "Hey boss why is this one..." Ratchet stopped talking as he gazed into his boss's ferocious glare.
HURRY UP!!!
Those 2 words sent the 2 men running, quickly they scaled the stairs before them and dumped the contents of the box they had been carrying all this time into the capsule before them.
"Wasn't that hard now was it", the middle aged man seemed to have calmed down and now stood up from his seat, alright then, you want to know what those capsule are for right?" "Well come over and sit over there, I'll explain what those capsules are for and the irregularity of the centered one." The middle aged man said as he gestured towards 2 seats, seemingly readied just for the 2 men.
