Sing 2 (Johnny x OC)

Chapter 10

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Buster walks into Crystals office.
"Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Come on in." Crystal says with a welcoming smile.
"Whoa. This place is incredible." Buster looks around at the elegant decor of the room before sitting.
"Pretty great, huh?" He chuckles.
"So, how's it going with Calloway?" Crystal asks calmly.
"Calloway? It's, uh... it's good. Yeah. Very good." Buster replies hesitantly, knowing what Miss Crawly has just been through involving Calloway.
"Right, right. Well, let me ask you something. What did I do to make you disrespect me, huh?" He asks bluntly, a blank expression taking over his face.

"What?" Buster replies, brows furrowing in confusion.
"Oh, what? You think I'm an idiot? Some kind of bozo?" Crystal says with concealed anger.
"No. No, sir, not at all." Buster denies desperately.
"My team, they talked to Calloway's lawyer, and they say he's never heard of you or your show." Crystal says calmly as his security show up behind Buster.
"Really? They said that? Uh..." He trails off, trying to think of an excuse.

"You lied to me!" Crystal suddenly shouts, standing up in fury and slamming his hands on his desk.
"I-I didn't mean to. Okay? Honestly, I really thought I could get him." Buster says shaking and trembling in his seat.

"No one makes me look like a fool! No one!" Crystal yells, thrashing and throwing things off the table.
"I-I wouldn't dream of doing that to you." Buster stutters once more.

"I swear, if you didn't have my kid in your show, you'd be out of that window by now!" He snarls, leaning towards Buster threateningly.

"Please, please, please. I-I'm so sorry." Buster begs, still shaking.
"You'd better have Calloway by the end of next week, or so help me!" Crystal threatens, nails digging into the desk.

"I-I-I will. I-I-I'll get him. I won't let you down, sir." Buster stutters.
"Oh, I know you won't let me down." Crystal collects himself, standing upright and adjusting his tie.

Buster speeds down the hallway to the elevator as if on fire, bumping into Jerry on his way.

"Jerry, get in here!" Crystal bellows from his office.
"Yes, sir. Right here, sir." Jerry responds dutifully.

Back on the set, Buster informs the rest of the crew about the next steps for the show as he packs his things up.

"Listen up. I got to go to Calloway's, and I got to go ASAP." He states, matter-of-factly.
"Oh, no, please don't go there." Miss Crawly pleads, worried for his safety.

"D-Don't worry. Don't worry. I know you said he's crazy, but I'll be all right." He reassures.

"Oh, can I go with you, please?" Ash asks, literally bouncing with excitement. "Uh, I don't know." Buster says, a little unsure.
"Come on, you're gonna need me. I know everything about this guy." She begs.
"Uh... I think you're right." He agrees. "Yes!"

"Now, listen, Gunter, you've got to figure out the ending of this show on your own." He instructs.
"On my own?" Gunter repeats, unsure of himself.
"Yes." Buster affirms strictly.

"Miss Crawly, I need you to take charge while I'm away." Buster says to Miss Crawly. "Yes, sir." She replies, smiling.

"Now, listen to me." He takes on a serious tone. "You got to bring your A game here, Miss Crawly. I'm serious. You got to be tough."
"Yes, I got to be tough." She replies.
"You got to be firm."
"Oh, and I got to be firm. Yes." She repeats, nodding.
"And you cannot... I repeat, cannot... let production fall behind, not one little bit. Is that clear?" He says, trying to make it as clear as possible.
"Yes, sir, Mr. Moon, sir." She salutes, as if she's in the military.

When Buster and Ash left, Miss Crawly took his words to heart and made completely sure that things would run smoothly.

"Mason!" She moves the scissor lift behind him, voice blasting from the megaphone.
"That volcano should've been finished yesterday!"
