Third person........

Felicity bounded the last steps to their apartment as she opened the door and walked somberly to the sofa.

"Feli....?"Brina shouted her name and moved to sit by her.

She didn't notice the tears in her eyes.

" Why you home early?"
That broke the dam in her. Felicity never cried,just like Felicia. .

" What's wrong....Morris!" Brina called her husband. She realized he was out since he didn't respond.

"I got fired!"

Brina opened her mouth in shock.
  Felicity worked at a coffee shop and according to most customers and her boss,she was sassy and nice.

" How come?"..

" Well we have a new boss and according to our old boss he said the new boss wants to select his own workers so we are all fired,all those who want a job should come for an interview later" Felicity ended with a sad smile.

" Who do you think the new boss is?"

" I don't know mum"

Brina hugged her daughter as tears brimmed her eyes. Her family was falling apart. First it was Felicia who now claims to not know them and being married to the devil himself.

Then there's Felicity.....who next?

****************

" Sir, the files have been sent to your office,I'd like to take my leave now" Felix addressed his boss,who weirdly had his head bowed.

" Sir?"

" Mr West?"

" Oh yeah" when the older man raised his head he had tears in his eyes.

" Is everything okay"

" Felix.....I........you're fired"

" What? What have I done?"

"Someone is buying this company, and he wants all the workers fired"

" Why?"

" Son,I'm helpless. But I promise to out in a good word for you in case he needs workers"

Men don't cry! Men don't cry!.....but Felix had tears in his eyes. This was too much.

" I'm sorry son"

He didn't reply as he whirled around and walked gingerly out of the place.

The West Printing Press was the only place he worked which provided him with enough money to fend for his parents and now look. He was just 26 what more could he do with his life .

With a dejected life,he went back home.

What would he tell his parents and Felicity.

**************

The tension in the house worsened his mood. Felicity was sitting head bowed on the couch whilst his Mom and Dad huddled in the kitchen. Absent minded.

" Whats wrong? Why you home early?" Felicity asked.

" I got fired"

" What?"

" You too"

He gasped as it Dawned on him. Felicity too had lost her job.

His younger sister was out there  and he didn't know whether she had gone mad or what, saying she didn't know them and now losing of jobs.

He gave them the reason.

" That's the same reason I got fired"

" What's going on"

" I heard the name of the new owner will be posted online ,let me check"

She whipped out her phone and scrolled through.

Silence!

Silence!

Then the gasp echoed.

" Who is it"

" Nicholas Quinston"

I gotta admit,it's going to get emotional from here.............
