Chapter 40: Let me out!

*Keyboard Clacking*

Amon sat in a large white office, The desk he sat at on the other sat a woman who was looking at him in a confused manner while typing away at her keyboard. He sat nervously looking at her as she had suddenly stopped typing.

"I'm sorry to tell you this Amon but you can't just leave Zefu's Division out of the blue. There is very strict policy when it comes to these types of things. Zefu's division especially has rules we cannot break, you have to consult Mr. Zefu directly if you wish to leave."
'Great so much help she is.'

"Are you sure there isn't any possibility we can work this out?"
"No Amon, I'm sorry."

***

The door closed behind a defeated Amon.

'Mmmm what if I get injured? Then maybe I wouldn't have to work with those looney's. No, because I cant be injured forever.'

Amon rubbed the back of his neck.

'Maybe I'm just stuck for a minute…I'll have to figure out a way to leave that nut division as fast as possible then get back on course.'

He started to walk down the hall as it started to move along the building as people around him looked at their watches and phones. Amon walked forwards as he suddenly bumped someones shoulder. He turned to apologize as the two locked eyes. It was a young man, who wore a suit was even more formal stature than Amon. His hair was a short but shaggy.

"My deepest apologies."

Amon heard the boy's voice as it was deep and quiet.

"No it's okay. It was my fault honestly."

The boy was already turned around and walking to the door he had just come out.

'Hm, must've been in a rush.

***

*Knocking*

Amon stood in front of a door at a large building that could almost be mistaken for a parking garage.

*Static*

'What the?'

Amon looked up at the camera that had a speaker on it.

"PASSWORD!"

Linen's loud voice over the PA system slightly hurt Amon's ears.

"No Linen you have to say it quieter you idiot. Like this…Password?"

'Idiots'

Amon heard Sally and Linen over the speaker.

"Now you try."

"PASSWORD!"

"Nooooo Password lighter linen."

"PASSWORD!!"

"How'd you get louder! Ugh whatever, just press the button and let him in."

*Buzz*

The door opened as Amon began to whisper under his breath.

"Finally."

He started to walk into the dark as the lights weren't on.

'Why aren't the lights on?'

"WOAH!"

Amon yelped as he tripped over something.

"I'm not that short you know."

The lights came on as Amon was on the floor, He looked over to Anita who stood basically in front of the door just a few feet away. She wore long pants that covered her shoes and a long sleeve tank top.

"Well maybe if the lights were on I would've seen you."

"I suppose."

Amon stood up as he swiped his clothes off of any dirt or dust.

"What are you doing in front of the door anyway?"

"Why are you trying to leave the Division?"

Amon choked on his response as he had none.

'How does she know?'

"What are you talking about?"

"You went to the Direct offices to talk about finding a different branch. Am I wrong?"

"No I didn-"

She put a phone in his face showing video footage of Amon talking to the lady at a desk.

'How?'

"So tell me Amon…Why are you trying to leave so soon?"

Amon looked at Ani as she herself wasn't a licensed officer from what he knew she was just the tech girl. However, out of everyone here she might've been one of the more intimidating ones.

"Look…I'll be honest."

"Good."

"I want to leave because I don't think this is the place for me. I'm not looking for chaos, like you guys do, I'm more calculated. You must be able to see that."

"You're lying."

"What?"

Amon watched her press play on an audio file.

"They're Lunatics, I'm worried I might die from them, not some demon!"

Amon said over the phone. It was something he had said to the lady at the office.

"How'd you get that?"

"The woman's computer she was on. Besides enough with the questions I already know a lot about you. So I'll help you get out."

"Why?"

Amon looked her in the eyes with wonder.

"Because I wanted out once but I knew my limits. Another reason is I'm scared you'll slow the rest of us down."

'She's never even seen my combat ability, what does she know? If anything I'd say they would slow me down.'

"So you're telling me you know a way out of here?"

"In all the time I've been here I've only heard of one person to leave the division."

Amon interest peaked.

"From what I know he became stronger than Zefu and started his own division."

Amon ponders on the only choice he's been given so far.

"So you're telling me all I have to do to get out of here is to become stronger than Zefu?"

'A division captain is someone who is grade 0 or higher. Is that even possible for me? To out class one of the strongest humans alive I'd have to train endlessly.'

Amon looked down slightly into space.

'How strong even is Zefu?'

"What seems to be the problem?"

Amon once again was startled by the voice of Zefu behind him. He turned to see Zefu and The Quiet Girl peeking around his shoulder.

'Just my luck.'
