adjah and adja: new lives

Meet Adja

It is 10:00 in the morning. My agency called, just when I am going to eat my pancakes. Great, now I have to wait with my breakfast. I pick up my phone. 'Morning, Adja', says my manager on the phone. I ask immediately 'Morning, what do you have for me?'. His answer is suprising.

'An opportunity to work with heroes who don't know your side, what do you say?'

Interesting. It is defenitely worth the cold pancakes. There is just one question: What in the world is the oppertunity? 'Can you give me more information?', I ask.

'You are going to Japan. Hawks Agency has a new spot for someone open. A new team, with way better opportunities. You will have your own room, can eat take out as much as you want, can make every day a working day',

That sounds amazing. And I might gat paid too. At least, it is my expectation. This is a new begin, 'When can I go there?', is my question. 'I guess it is a yes. The first plane by now is in ninety minutes. We make sure you get a ticket', says my manager. Then, he hang up. No problem for me, because the pancakes are still warm. I eat them up and go to my room. This is amazing! For getting on a plane, you need to wear comfy clothes. Sweatpants and a oversized sweater it is. Now, I need to pack some things. My clothes for work days, some pyjamas, note books. It need to get some simple stuff from my old workplace. I have just eighty minutes left.

In 15 miutes, I am at my office. Just a simple computer, and my usb sticks. In there is all the data this company needs. I won't give it to them. I see my boss. She is not nice and only gives me the little jobs. Now she is not my boss anymore. 'I didn't expect to see you here', she says. Thet little witch makes me hella mad. 'Well, this will be your last time. I am going to Japan, to become the hero I am able to be',. Her face was a little bit in chock, like I was saying that her company sucks. Well, it is true. Only the little dreams that she can crush work here. She failed a little bit with me. 'So you bring me your last work?', she asks. This is my favorite part. 'No, I just take it with me. Good luck with your presentation without a powerpoint and script. I turn around and walk to the door. 'You will be crawling back to me, since only humans can be heroes', are her last words to me. I keep my mouth. I know my worth. One hour left. Let's take an taxi. 

Thirty minutes left, I am at the airport. With suitcase and all. There is a ticket first class with my name on it. I take some food at the McDonalds. I love their veggy McChicken. Now, just twenty more minutes. Someone calls me. I pick up. 'Good morning, how can I help you?', I say. 'Hello, this is Hawks from Hawks agency. Are you Adja?', asks Hawks. 'Yes it is, and I am happy to take this opportunity. Thank you so much', is my answer. 'Well tomorrow you get your first day at work. One of your new colleagues will pick you up. Enjoy the flight', he says. I am happy. It is time to board.

After so much time, we land in Japan. My new home. I wait for my suitcase, and go with it to the exit. There was an taxi. The driver held a sign with my name on it. I walk to it. 'Hey, my name is Adja', I say. 'The driver looks at me and nods. Then, he opens the door for me. I step in. He close the door and go to the drivers side. We drive away from the airport.

Like thirty minutes, we are at an hotel. I go out with my suitcase. 'Have a nice day', says the driver. I nod with a smile. 

This is my new life, as a hero
