Chapter 27: Joining the Team

"Is he dead?"

Amon heard an unknown voice.

"I hope not ugh Zefu would be so angry at me."

A feminine voice that Amon still had never heard before.

"You're the one who got him, what were the gas levels you gave him?"

Amon found the quiet voice annoying as it was scratchy. He slowly woke up as his eyes started to slowly open.

Before him sat 4 people, A man with blonde elf-like hair was posing in a way that you could tell he was purposely doing it to look cool. A woman who had a gas mask on top of her red long hair, there were also a few noticeable features that Amon out of respect for the women, decided not to look at. A smaller woman who wore a black turtleneck and glasses with short black hair seemed to be where the annoying voice came from. A large brute-like man who wore a black suit and had a clean bald head. Amon opened his mouth in confusion but no words came out.

'My mouth…it's too numb to talk. Who the hell even are these people?'

"We should do one of those introductions thingies they do in the shows!"

The woman with a gas mask on top of her head now reveals her beautiful face. The man with the elf-like hair nods while staring at the woman in awe.

"That's idiotic."

The small girl said in annoyance.

"My name is "Gas-Tank" but you-"

Amon and Gas-Tank's eyes met.

"-You can call me Sally. I'm the person that brought you here!"

Her smile was as big as the moon.

'Nut-job'

Amon thought to himself as he looked over at the elf-like guy as he started to talk.

"My name is "Archer," my real name is Archie, ironic right?"

Archie suddenly lost his smile.

"I don't think so."

He stepped back regaining his smile as Sally laughed and lightly punched him on his shoulder.

'So there is two nut-jobs. Got it.'

Amon looked over at the smaller girl as his vision was completely back he saw that she wore a long-sleeved turtleneck and baggy pants, her glasses weren't all the way pushed up, and her waist was slim. She took a drink of some tea to help clear her throat. Sally shook her right shoulder a bit.

"Fine…my name is…"

Her voice was normal almost angelic. She closed her eyes as she looked over to see both Archie and Sally with their thumbs up in encouragement.

"You got this."

Sally whispered.

"My name is "Short Stock" but Please call me Anita or Ani."

"MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT TO AN ANT LIKE YOU, GOT IT? I'M 2ND IN COMMAND HERE SO GIVE ME SOME RESPECT!"

Amon looked at the brute in the suit as suddenly Sally came closer to him and whispered.

"That is "Loud Mouth" otherwise known as Linen"

She giggled as she turned away.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY GAS TANK!"

"Nothing Sir, I was only telling him about the snacks in the fridge!"

"THE FRUIT CUPS WITH MY NAME ON IT ARE MINE!"

Linen sat down on a nearby metal chair. He looked at his watch. Linen then stood back up immediately.

"BOSS SHOULD BE BACK SOON GET TO WORK!"

He then walked out of the room as the others looked at each other in silence.

"What should we do with Mr. Silent over here?"

Archer asked the remaining people in the room. In response, Sally twirled her hair as she thought about the question.

"We could put him in a closet?"

"Leave him for the boss to take care of."

Anita walked by with her idea and rested herself on a wall lighting a cigarette.

"I thought you were quitting?"

Sally walked towards Anita.

"So did I."

Anita blew her smoke in Sally's face as she stood over her.

*Sally coughs*

"Uh Sally, so what are we doing with him?"

"You can start by letting me go."

Amon looked up at the three of them as they all looked back at him.

"There goes the nickname "Silent guy" he can talk."

Sally rested on Anita's shoulder with a dramatic sad expression.
