The ride home was silent.
Sweat was running down his neck.
Now that he thinks about it, they never stood this close. He doesn't seem to be bothered tho. He's weirdly calm..

Flug swallowed and looked at his boss from the corner of his eye.
Black Hat was sitting with His legs crossed, His overcoat on the hanger in the corner. He was smoking a thick cigar, it's smoke filling the room.
He seems relaxed and unbothered by Flugs presence. But "relaxed" is not the right way to describe His mood, His eyes were fixed on a point
'I wonder what is He thinking about. '

Flug knew something bad happened, after all it took two earth days for Him to come back to normal and when that happened He went silent. That means someone fucked up and Flug needs to be ready for whatever is to come.

"A machine struck through my chest and for an entire second I lost my balance, my beloved doctor. " - His eyes were still pointed at that point in the room, but His face was now covered by a malicious grin.

"I-I'm sorry sir. "

" You're telling me you could prevent it?"

"What? No... no sir. I had no idea. "

"This time this little insects got my on nerves so I will personally take care of this matter. "

"Yes sir. "

"Meanwhile, you - as my right hand"- the demon spat with disgust in His voice " you'll be in charge of the documents, and other bullshit I never cared about to begin with. " - He said turning slowly "This will not take a long time, so don't get used to it doctor. "
Flug squeaked at the demonic voice.

"Y-yes my lord!!"
Black Hat stared at him with that deformed grin for a second "ha-ha... Ha-Ha.. " -He started laughing louder and louder.
Flug lowered his head, he never knew when exactly to run from his boss.
"You are like treat at the end of the day, Kenning. "
It felt like a whole bucket of ice was poured over his body.

He didn't want to find out what He meant. Flug tried to run to the door but fell on the ground.
"Ohohooow that's fucking pathetic! "
The eldritch grabbed Flug by the foot.

The doctor shrieked and hit his boss with the other leg. Got up and sprinted out of the room, not bothering to close the door behind him.

He was running through the hallway of the train as Black Hat's laughter was echoing around him.

Flug smashed open the bathroom door and fell over the toilet.

He can't live like this anymore. "I just can't. Can't! "

----

"What did it take so long??? " - Dementia jumped off the ceiling in front of Flug. "Leave me alone Dementia. "
"Ha??! " - she stuck out her tongue at him and ran to the kitchen. "I'm gonna eat all your plane looking cereals! "

Flug sighed "I wish that would be my biggest problem now."
'I wonder why she didn't run to see Him. I guess even she knows when to stay away. '

Flug entered the lab and opened a certain drawer, took an old pack of cigarettes and lit one. He sat on his chair and completely relaxed his body. He could hear from here how Black Hat walked towards His office. He stepped so loud, He was barely holding on. Dashed into his office and threw the desk into the wall.
He crushed everything in that room.

Flug closed his eyes and tried to relaxed into the sound.

"Today I get the fuck out of here. "
