1st. POV

It all began with a small
argument with mom. Apparently some JR needed me at her work place.
It honestly doesn't make any sense: she 'couldn't tell me' what kind of job it was if I wouldn't agree and then I'm supposed to leave my psych clinic with all the patients for that mysterious reason that I didn't know anything about?!
She still gave me the man's number at the end and I only took it for her to shut up
She wasn't even usually like that so that pissed me off in general. My only thought was 'What's gone into her??'.

But well, we didn't exactly talk after this incident and time passed. In said time a lot of things had gone wrong, one after one:
First, the rent I had to pay for this damn clinic increased and was higher then the sky. Then all my patients out if nowhere just quit, and right after them the staff too.
I had no choice but to shut down the whole thing!
And so, I called this JR — this job was my only option to get money for further living. And luckily, he still was interested.

Back to present day. I was at a local bar, waiting for this man, since he wanted to make the interview here.

A man, visually in his mid 50's then entered this place. He wore a light grey suit, and generally looked pretty formal. I wonder if that's him?
"Woah there, are you y/n?" He recognized me, looking a little too amazed by my appearance to be the actual employer, so I replied to him a little confused at that kind of reaction, while he sat besides me. "Yep. That's me. How did you know?", to which he responded casually "the dark circles around your eyes? Those colored hair? Please." I simply chuckled uncomfortably at the comment about my appearance while ordering a glass of wine to calm my anxiety. There is no way this is JR. speaking of which, where was he even? Did I get the date wrong by any chance?

"I've heard you predict the future?" He asked, which made me shift all of my attention back to him. 'So that's his deal!', I thought. "Not if for free." I said half joking and slightly chuckling at it myself, to which he looked a bit more interested. "Alright, how much for a 10 minute prediction then?" , the man asked curious.
'No way, is he serious?' "As if in a prediction for what happens in 10 minutes?" 'Did I understand him right? That's an oddly specific time' "Yes", he only confirmed.
"Alright, 50 bucks" i smirked at him, to which he laughed and gave me 25$ "25 had to do. If you're wrong though, I'll take that way too."
I only raised an eyebrow at the money surprised he actually wanted to pay for it.
I then hummed in agreement "Deal" i said with a slight smirk, as i looked back at him.
Maybe JR doesn't come today, but at least I get to have some easy money.
So, i decided to focus my energy on the next 10 minutes, as then everything went white.

I could now see myself checking the time [10:23 am]
Then I hear JR's phone ringing, and myself asking "And, who is it?". To this I could see a satisfied smirk form on his face as he looked over to me "your new boss." He said confidently.

That's when I'm back to where we are now, confused at what i just heard. 'My new boss? Is this him after all?'
"Well?" He asked, as I then collected my thoughts, getting my wine and paying for it from those 25 dollars he gave me, to which action I saw him having visible discomfort.
"In exactly 10 minutes my new boss is gonna call you" I said casually, while sipping on my glass of wine. It definitely was JR. what was this whole fortune telling about for though anyway?
He only raised an eyebrow at what I said "what a bold assumption." He pointed out, to which I calmly corrected him "Statement. Not assumption. Just wait it out."
He looked at me with slight distrust and got himself an alcohol dring as well.

And so, the time had passed, as I checked the time.
Exactly 10 minutes had passed, so I smirked, already hearing the familiar ringtone of JR's phone, as I then looked over to him in triumph. "And who is it?". At that he could only have a  satisfied smirk while replying, quoting me "Your new boss".  He then continued "Call me JR", but I interrupted him "Yeah, I've figured. What was that anyway?" I asked him, referring to the whole future telling, as he just simply answered. "Your Interview. And you're hired!" He said, which made me slightly happy, but just as I was about to ask him about what kind of wirk it even was, JR looked right behind me, not changing his expression even a little as he then just said "Get them.".

I was just about to look who he was talking to, as suddenly I could feel a napkin pressed to my face, while someone held me still.
As soon as I tried breathing, I felt the way the chemicals that were sprayed on the material were suffocating me, not letting me breathe and made my limbs feel weaker with each time i tried to move them.
The next thing I knew — everything faded black.
