chapter 12 The test

We were standing in front of the prison I guess Bucciarati was just going to turn me in. Bucciarati had pulled me into the prison there we had to go through a security check.

As Bucciarati kept tugging me along I could only think of one thing 'Why the fuck am I here if I was in trouble I would have been retained earlier.'

Bucciarati stopped in front of a surprisingly nice-looking cell with a yellowish bed.Where was the prisoner though? Hold on a second did the bed just move? OH, HELL NO THE BED WAS A FUCKING PERSON.Then the bed who was actually a person sat up and started speaking in a deeper but fitting voice "Thank you, Bruno, Bruno I knew you wouldn't let me down on this mission." The king-sized mattress spoke. Suddenly he somehow turned to me without causing mass destruction in his cell? Room? He then spoke, "Y/N after the test and trial if you pass will be put onto Bruno's team." He then signaled for Bucciarati to leave Buccuarati acted accordingly. "Y/N you truly intrigue me. But you will still have to take the test." The germ's lost twin spoke.

"Ok. That seems fair." You spoke looking at him in the eyes with much struggle. Polpo then said, "When selecting a potential candidate... what do you think is the most important consideration." He looked down at you waiting for a response.

"That would be trust and skill." You spoke nervously hoping you did not screw up."Yes trust is most important, and what are you capable of that should make me consider recruiting you?" Polpo asked in a manner that made me feel lightly judged.

"I have a decent stealth level and I'm athletic. I can also get the job done." You spoke hoping it was enough to appease him. "That can be helpful. But I'm going to test your trustworthiness with the flame of this lighter." Polpo said pulling out an old looking lighter that was lit calmly placing it on the tray.

"Take it be careful not to extinguish the flame." Polpo said watching as Y/N struggled to grab it from the tray without putting it out.

As you finally grasped it he looked back at you and said "Careful now don't let the flame go out!," you looked at him nervous before Polpo spoke again "A 17th century man once said... 'He's my friend that speaks well of me behind my back'" You listened careful to not miss any extra instruction. Polpo then said "Keep the flame lit for 24 hours to prove your trust."

"Ok see you tomorrow then." you said with a monotone voice leaving his cell to the door quickly putting the lighter in you mouth without putting it out 'Damn I'm glad I learnt that fancy cigar trick or I'd be screwed' you thought to yourself while lightly sweating as you went through the security check. "Hands up the lady said." you did as asked the lady giving you a pat down.

"You're free to go." The police woman spoke; you nodded to her as a thanks before trying to walk to grab your bag "Hold on a second!" she spoke as you instantly felt nervous 'Oh crap did she figure me out. No she can't its foolproof.' "Why haven't you spoken are you non-verbal." She asked politely with slight concern in her voice. You slightly shook your head "Oh so you just don't like speaking." you nodded "Well have a good day then." Giving her a brief closed eye smile to say thanks you grabbed your stuff quickly leaving with the lighter still in your mouth.

As you made it back home you quickly took the lighter out of your mouth and putting it on your desk quickly almost putting out the flame panicked you put the base into your instant Mac' N cheese realizing that it actually worked at keeping the fire safe you left the room you were in to microwave another cup hoping the cheese wouldn't explode making a mess in the microwave like it did last week.
