Chapter 13
Once he has disappeared behind a corner, Chad stays standing. He knows that he has left Luna all alone with Agent Black and he is not sure, if he likes that at all. But he saw Luna giving him a reassuring look, before he left, so he will just have to trust her, which he absolutely does, but he is not sure whether he trusts Agent Black or not.
But luckily he can communicate with her through the microphone, although he knows that he cannot talk to her about private things, because Agent Black would be listening as well. But at least he would know that she is alright.
'But now I have to concentrate on my task. First of all I need to fit in. That means that I have to find some clothes that belong to the company', Chad thinks, looking around.
Someone is coming towards him, so he quickly and inconspicuously slips into a room to the left of him.
Once inside, he listens closely, if the person is coming towards the door.
And to his disappointment somebody is coming closer. Chad can now see the shadow of the person's feet under the door and someone slowly presses down the doorknob.
Chad holds his breath, but is frozen in place.
Suddenly the person lets go of the doorknob and Chad can hear voices.
He presses his ear carefully against the door and listens closely.
"Get back to work, Mangus. The boss is expecting you to be in his office. He said you have exactly one minute to get there", a deep and manly voice says.
"Great. What does he want now again?" another, deeper voice asks.
"I don't know. All I can tell you is that he didn't sound very happy. So it can't be anything good."
"Okay. Thanks Thomas. See you later, if I'm not fired", Mangus jokes, but sounds a bit worried and shaky.
With that the guy leaves and Chad can hear quick footsteps fainting into the distance.
'That was close', Chad thinks and sighs in relief.
Then he turns around, to look, where he exactly is, because through all this excitement, he did not even look, into what room he just slipped into.
'This seems to be some kind of storage room. There are boxes filled with all kinds of things. There must be one of these business uniforms in here somewhere.'
So Chad starts rummaging through some boxes, until he finally finds a business uniform that is also not too big on him, so it looks as if it really belongs to him.
He quickly slips the uniform on and as inconspicuously as he slipped in, he slips back out of the room again and makes his way towards the lift in the back of the building.
He has just nearly reached the lift, when somebody cuts his path and stays standing right in front of him.
'Oh no. I am so busted', Chad thinks, but tries to stay calm and in his role.
"Hello, my name is Thomas Cleery. But you can just call me Thomas. And you? You must be one of our newbies, am I right?"
But before Chad can answer, Thomas carries on talking. "Well then, follow me and I will tell you what you have to do."
He leads Chad to the lift and they go up. Chad recognises from the deep voice that the guy, who is showing him the way, is the person, who saved Chad from being caught in the storage room a few minutes before.
The lift takes them up to the eleventh floor, where they then get out. Thomas then leads Chad to a computer and tells him to sit down in front of it.
"Okay. So, I guess you have some experience with computers, right?"
Chad nods, so Thomas starts explaining what Chad's task is going to be. After about a five-minute lecture, Thomas leaves, finishing with "... and if you have any more questions or need any help with anything, you know who to call."
On that note Thomas leaves and Chad sighs in relief.
Then he inconspicuously lifts his hand to his ear and whispers through the microphone. "How far are you guys? I've got a computer ready."
