Chapter two
Pushing the cart down the hallway and toward the elevator, I decided to message John. Most likely the room they want me to prepare isn't clean and I might need some assistance. The doors open as I walk in.
Me- hey john, mind coming down to Z1? I might need some assistance.
John doesn't reply but the message is read, that's good enough for me. The doors open as I push the cart out and down the dark dim hallways. I never liked Z level, always gave me the creeps, enclosed walls in the deepest part of the facility and the most secured. It scares me to come down here by myself. I scan my ID a few times before putting in some codes. I make it through the last door before arriving at Z1.
John stands there with his cart and body bag, I wave at John, he bluntly ignores me and scans his ID before the door opens and he walks in. John comes out with a body and dumps it in the bag before zipping it up and wheeling off.  Most people will count that as rude but john is a silent type of man,as long he does his job the higher up can care less how he treats anyone else as long it doesn't involve physical contact.
Using that as my queue, I grab slip on some new gloves and mask and grab my bucket before getting to work. Hopefully this doesn't take too long.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I wipe my forehead with the back of my hand as I look around at my hard work. It's as clean as I can get it, cleaned water and food dish, clean mat with a folded blanket and flat pillow, the walls scrubbed as I can get it same with the floors. Sadly I can't reach the ceiling and I won't attempt to, I don't get paid enough for that.
I put down the fifth scrubbed out sponge in my trash bin connected to my cart before pushing it out. I did have to collect a few....missing pieces to the body from before, finding some teeth and cut off fingers along with some entrails, I had swiftly removed them and dumped them Into a red bag, maybe the scientist can extract a few more things with missing pieces of their specimen they forgot to collect before leaving.
As I wheel out the Z level and into the elevator , a long mournful howl is extracted from one of the alphas, a new howl I haven't heard before. I've heard of anguish howls but not mourn. Who can they possibly be mourning for? They have no contact to each other or the outside...is it a connection of some sort?..well no matter. It has nothing to do with me so I simply do not care.
Rolling out the elevator I walk toward the break room, I park my cart before walking inside the room.

Livy and Stan are talking ,I do my best to ignore the two. Stan loves to gossip about workers and the supernatural and Livy sucks it all in like a sponge. I wouldn't be surprised if she made a rumor or two of her own, to humor Stan. "And I tell yah, he was huge, humongous even. They were pulling him in on a cart! He was knocked out cold! Cold! They had him tied down with sliver chains I betcha even if he woke up he couldn't get out"Livy rolls her eyes as she sips her coffee.

Stan is a tall lanky man, dark brown hair with eyes to match, a slightly long pointed nose and small ears. His mouth makes up for the lacking facial features. He has a good sense of humor when he knows how to use it.

"Sure Stan, what's next they gonna hall in a vampire queen?" Livy is a standard looking woman, being in her late 20's and having a fit athletic body, not like I have seen her doing much activity other than gossip and drink coffee. She is the typical blonde with blue eyes.

Stan eyes widen "it be the end of the world if that happens! I'll quit right on the spot and say fuck boss man!" I stir my tea as I turn and lean against the counter.

Stan looks at me "Ava don'tcha believe me? I ain't gon lie I promise! A Lycan the king at that! Oh he have us all dead in a matter of seconds!" I hum softly as a sip my tea.

"Ava doesn't believe anything that comes out your or my mouth, just look at her minding her business. Leave her be, plus if the lycan king was here aren't you gonna feed him?" Stan shakes his head "oh hell no, just because Gage quit doesn't mean I'll be carrying the load he had, my next bet it's either Ava or Kin who takes that load"
