The November Order

💎 VI : Packed

Efosa turned off the ignition and opened his car door. He looked at his brother sitting beside him sleeping like a baby. They'd been up all night long making final preparations and he kinda felt bad for the big guy but their last night at home still had it's fun parts like how they'd had that long argument about whether Zanku looked cool in water or not. He really didn't care which it was all he knew was that he wasn't going to try it and then come home with a broken head. During the day they had driving round benin buying lots of wires and electrical thingies for him to tinker with in the meantime. The big guns would be coming in the day after they washed up.

He got down from the car beaming and stared at the large factory doors that towered over their small sedan. They had to pull a lot of strings to get the location and Zogie was still bitter about how much they had to spend.

"Otenmwen," he poked zogie, "wake up, we're here," he had half a mind to put him in a duffle bag and drag him over the rough graveled floor into the building but the love of God spoke in his heart. He walked over to the passengers side and tapped him again, "Otenmwen… Bro... Wake up Zogie," how him and goldie managed to sleep this deeply was troubling. He had a hunch they'd even sleep through an air raid or earthquake.

Zogie stirred and opened his eyes, "hey little bro," he smacked his lips and smiled, "what's up are we there yet?" He yawned and scratched his jaw. Efosa looked away, he had no reason to be jealous of his elder brothers werewolf like beards.

He looked at the slowly changing sky, he guessed it was around three, they still had enough time to set some things in order before it got dark.

Zogie got out of the car and stretched, "the equipment on the moving trucks will be coming in later in the day so in the meantime let's go set up the loft and rooms for saturday's guests. Sounds good right?"

Efosa nodded and opened the back seats and trunk, "let's get these things inside then."

They each picked a large cardboard box filled with documents dioramas, and, as Efosa would call them, Zogie's old age toys.

They walked into the large space with it's two levels of mezzanine floors framing the middle aisle. Coloured plastic sheets covered the rows of cars parked under the left side of the upper floors. Efosa smiled, his babies were all here, now all he needed was someone to beef them up and he he had the perfect person for the job.

The climbed the stairs to the second level and placed them on one of the pre assembled work benches. Zogie stared at the hanging flourecent bulbs, all of them had a chip somewhere in them, they weren't going to work anymore. Efosa was going to have his hands full rewiring the whole place and setting up his network. He sighed, he wished the fight hadn't taken so much out of him then they'd have at least a week and a half to fix everything up before saturday's deadline.

Now they just had three days to saturday, this was going to be one hell of a sprint but they had been through worse. He took a gas mask from one of the boxes Efosa had went back down for. He clipped it behind his neck but left it to rest on his neck. He walked over to the breaker and flipped it on. The few working flood lights turned on and he smiled. He was thankful for them, they could work through the night too. He went to the water supply station on the last floor and put it on. The tank had been built into the warehouses large gabble, it tickled his engineering bone.

He plugged in the large fire hose and pulled it to the other end of the mezzanine. He brought out his phone and pods, he connected the devices and put them on. He had a new afro selection he'd prepared especially for this week. He pulled up his mask, taped the button on the pod in his ear and began his high pressure hose down of the floors.

Efosa watched his elder brother from across the atrium and he couldn't help but agree Zanku looked better on water but he was still going to laugh his ass off when the bigger guy slipped and fell.
