Chapter Twenty-eight

Not edited.

Bernard Marx

"Today, bring the person from Savage Land to the office," said The Director through my contact len as I got up from my bed.

I knew that this was going to happen, but I didn't think it was going to be this soon.

"John, we need to leave," I said as I poke John's arm to wake him up. He had found one of my pillows and was sleeping on the floor in the Living Room.

"Here is your fruit smoothly, sir," said Gamma in a chipper tone as he hands me a cup.

"Thank you, you always know me the best," I said with a smile and then I drank the juice.

"Where are we going?" Asked a still sleepily John as he got up from the floor.

"The Director said he wants to meet you," I told him.

"Let me see if I can find you a suit that fits," I said as I moved over to the closet to see if I could find a good enough suit that would fit John's bigger body type.

"Wow that's a lot of suits," John comments as he follows me to the closet.

"You should see my upstairs closet," I tell him as I move toward Gamma.

"There is more! You own a whole fucking store of just suits!" John said with shock.

"Gamma, you are more John's body size. Can he borrow one of your suits?" I asked him to pay John no mind.

"Sure, let me see what I have that could work," Gamma said as he went over his work closet. At my house, I like for Gamma to keep some extra suits just in case he needs to quickly change.

After a while, Gamma comes back and hands John a silver suit. One of Gamma's favorite suits. He never lets anyone even touch that suit.

"Let's quickly go before The Director has another thing to complain about?" I tell John as we head out the door and toward the direction of the office building.

I could already tell that today is going to be a very long day.

"So, what is the deal with this Director?" Asked John as we sat down on the seat of the train.

"All you need to know right now is to try not to get on his bad side. He will make it his life mission to ruin your life if he does not like you," I tried my best to be vague since I had my contact len in right now, but I hope that I gave enough of a warning for John to understand what I meant.

John must have gotten the message because he stopped asking me about The Director. The rest of the ride, we rode in silence till we made it to the office.

"Good morning, The Director. You asked to see John first thing in the morning," I said as I walked into his office with John following soon after. I tried my best not to be nervous.

"Yes, please have a seat," He said as John and I sat side by side at the big conference table. I decide to be close to John, which is opposite The Director, in case something goes wrong.

"Henry, could you come here?" He asked through the contact len.

This can't be good.

I rather not see Henry and The Director interact with each other right now. I was not ready for that. The Director has never used the big conference table for good news. He only uses it for the bad news.

Quickly, Henry comes into the room and sits next to The Directors on his right side.

"Thank you for joining us," He said.

"We are here to discuss: why is the Savage Lander here?" Asked The Director as he looked from John to me.

"Well, John helped me when I was lost in the Savage Land as you already know. The thing was that I never got to repay him, so I wanted to show him the New London culture and the lovely people here," I said and avoided looking at Henry.

"Did you get permission to bring the Savage Lander here?" Asked The Director.

"Yes, you can talk to the command at the spaceport to confirm what I have just said," I said to counter.

"I know some people over there. Let me make a quick call right now," he said as he got up and left toward the patio.

Then, there was just John, Henry, and I.

Each one of us was looking in a different direction as we avoided conversation.

No one talked, we just waited for The Director to come back but he never did.

"I wonder, why is The Director taking so long? Let me go check," said John as he got up from his seat and walked out onto the patio.

Henry ends up staring at me for a while, but I just avoid his stares. I am not sure what to say to him.

Is he doing well? Has he been eating delicious food?

"When are you going to finally look at me?" Henry asked as his voice cracked.

"I do not know what to say," I tell him as I stare at the floor.

Henry gets up and moves over to where I am. Then, he put his hands on my face and moved my face towards him.

"Take off your contact len," he demands.

"Okay," I whisper back to him.
