The new boy

Prologue

It was late evening when Louis got a call. He had just gotten home from work. An exhausting day, if you would have asked him. It was his manager calling. 

"Louis?" Called out, the voice on the other side of the line. "Yes" Louis said, dragging out his voice. He was clearly annoyed by being called by work after hours. 

"Sorry to call you after work at this hour, but I have something urgent to discuss with you, well rather run past you" his manager rushed out, clearly distracted by something.  "Yes, go on" Louis answered, still not following why he had to talk about work that late. 

"So we have gotten this new boy, and he doesn't know a thing about the businesses. So the company was wondering if you could do a gig with him, just to get him going?" His manager said, explaining the situation, although Louis could sense there was something he was keeping from him.  He had done this sort of thing before, with no phone call involved, but something was off this time, something was different this time. "And the twist being?" Louis asked. 

"No twist Louis. Other than the fact that he is 17." 

"17!, you have got to be kidding me" Louis yelled into the phone, he couldn't possibly work with a kid underage. "No way i will work with a kid that age. Won't it be illegal?"

"No, not if he is 17." His manger, John, explained "The age limit is 16 remember, and it may even expand your audience. Plus, you would give the kid a good start on his career, you know, with your popularity and such." 

"Yeah, yeah. I'll do it John don't worry. When is the gig?" 

" At 10, tomorrow. And you only have that gig for that day, since we dont know how many takes it will take with the kid." His manager said, and louis replied with; "Yeah, fine. I'll see you then"

Louis didn't think much about it later that night. But little did he know, that the next day would change his life.
