Marcus notices that his superiors' break has ended. The yellow bottle already on the table, he decides to call his wife back home. It's just a habit he adheres to. He pulls out an old Nokia from his back pocket, inputs her phone number and it rings.

"...Marcus? Hello! How's my seuntjie doing at work, eh?"
"Awww, Betty... Just glad to hear you're alright."
They converse for about 5 minutes before Marcus hangs up, telling his wife that his superior should be back by now.
He sits there for about 10 minutes before... Garth doesn't show up. Marcus, worried, begins to look outside for his boss. He goes to where he'd suspect Garth would've been, the garbage area.
"Garth! Gaaarrthhh! Are you here!?"
A faint whisper was heard by something inside of the dump.
"Shhhh... SHHHH!"
"Shhhh? The hell d'you mean shhh?! Garth, if you're wasting my time, I'll fucking go in there myself!" Replied Marcus.
Marcus doesn't get any further response. He decides to leave the dump and sit inside the lab, waiting for Garth to arrive.
