Baj adjusted the gear shifts settings to 'Park', making his way outside the car and to the rear side door where Bottom was.
"We're here, come on" Baj told to him. The two swiftly ran to the IKEA's entrance and stepped foot inside the building.
"Hey, Baj, don't you think this place is a bit.. weird? It's WAY bigger than how it was shown to be outside. Besides, we could've just went to that furniture shop we passed by like 30 minutes ago."
"No", he replied.
"Why?" Bottom's eyebrows furrowed in hearing Baj deny his statement, but he knew damn well he too was skeptical about the place.
The lights shut off and Baj's eyes widened at the sight of another customer being attacked by one of the many IKEA employees inside the building. Terrified, he instantly grabbed Bottom's hand as tightly as he can and ran with him to hide. They found a few pallets and Baj whispers,
"Why don't we use these to build a room? It's only gonna take a few minutes, as long as we don't make much noise."
"Are you serious?! Did you even see that customer being attacked? We're gonna die!", Bottom feared.
"THATS WHY WE'RE GOING TO HIDE! Will you shut up for once?"
No response was recieved from Bottom.
Baj sighed and took the pallets, "Hey, help me. We're not gonna survive without a place to hide, you know?"
He told him to get more pallets as Baj placed them one by one. "One, two, three and this one can be the roof."
Bottom nodded his head, finally moving from disagreement to agreement and grabbed a few pallets before going to Baj.
"Is this enough?", he asked.
"Mhm, thanks." Baj took the pallets and placed them to make a room big enough for the both of them before finally placing the lamp which he found on the way while running. Baj stepped foot inside the room on his tiptoes so that he doesn't make too much noise, since it can alert the employees. Baj tripped on a tiny rock and hit the wall, causing him to make a loud 'BANG' noise. He heard distant footsteps and hurriedly told Bottom to get in the room so he could finally seal the opening, and so he did. Or, he tried.
As Bottom tried to run into the room, an employee snatched him by behind and grabbed him by his clothes.
"Bottom- No!" Baj yelled. He immediately realized that making even more loud sounds would just attract more employees, so he shut his mouth and succeeded in pulling Bottom back in his arms then finally sealing the entrance.
"Are you okay?" he asked Bottom, who was in tears because of the sudden incident.
"You're in luck today. You almost died!"
"I'm fine. How about we escape tomorrow? All we need to do is go back to where we came from, right..?" Bottom responded, a tear falling through his cheek.
"I mean.. we could try. Go to sleep," he checks his watch. "It's 9:30, you need some rest to prepare for whatever's gonna come across tomorrow." Bottom sighed and laid his head on Baj's lap, "Goodnight." he told to him before finally drifting off to sleep.
"Goodnight, Bottom", he plants a kiss on his forehead.
