The next day at the theater, Wednesday.
Nathan was happy, because today's show will bring money to him.
Rodger and Ethan does not understand why, Zewia cared about it but not too much, she likes money too, just like her father, Zhenya and Amanda did NOT cared about why does he loves money. But it was worse in December 4th 1960, the first day he started to work at Rat & Cat theater, He just did everything for money...In the employees room, Nathan was giggling happily, wanting this show everytime. Ethan asked him, "Why do you want this show to be earlier? Or should I ask, why do you love money so much?!"
Nathan smirked and then he said
"it brings me everything I want, darling!"
Ethan was SO annoyed by Nathan's answer, he gritted his teeth and said
"Oh right, but it does not brings everything ya know?! Will it bring your father back to life?!"
Nathan looked at Ethan in the eyes, then he started laughing.."Who even CARES about that BASTARD?! nobody even gives a damn about him! Just like he DESERVES!"
Ethan looked at Nathan, he was shocked about what did he said... He walked away, Mumbling something
"Stupid b-tch..."
As the show begins, Nathan was really happy, not like other employees...
Because today's show is too long! But the good thing is, it is easy...
Ethan and Zhenya HATES long shows because it wastes their time!After the show... Singing, comedy, magic...
It was fun for children, they really enjoyed the show and this theatre!
Nathan goes to employees room, does not caring other people.
He looks at the wall, thinking about the money he will got, like he gets all the time.
The other employees enters the room, they were really tired after the show...
Rodger looks at Nathan and asks
"How are you not that tired, man?"
Nathan ignores him, he was still thinking... Over and over...
Rodger shrugged an whispered to Zhenya
"Why he is ignoring me?"
Zhenya looks at Nathan and then Rodger, then he says "well, maybe he does not want to talk you know..."
Ethan looks both of them, sighs but does not says anything, he was still angry with Nathan...
After a moment, the manager of the Rat & Cat theatre enters the employees room
He was looking everyone in disappointment
"You guys REALLY disappointed me today."
Zewia looks at the manager, and says
"What are you even talking about?! We alll tried our best AND we all did good! You are ALWAYS disappointed."The manager looks at Zewia for a moment then the employees, and says
"You punched a kid in the backstage because they were smoking. You could tell to their parents so we COULD NOT get reported. And about today's show, Rodger and Zhenya, you both were drunk! I could understand it by your movements! Now. There is no way I'm paying you all today!" He shouts and walks away.Nathan looked at the manager walking away and mumbles "fuck..."
He goes to restroom, walking and muttering something unheardable.
Rodger looks at Nathan walking away and then looks at Ethan
"Do you think he is a lil bit angry for not getting money?"
Ethan nods at his question and answers
"Yeah. He is."
Amanda, she wanted to calm him down.
"I-I'm gonna go check him..."
Zewia looks at Amanda and nods.Amanda walks away, and goes to restroom.
She knocks the door and opening the door slowly "Nathan? Are you okay" She asks before seeing Nathan biting his nails.
Amanda looks at him and says
"Look... I know you are kind of angry about what did the boss said... H-he was disappointed... But he is always like this you know.."
Amanda sees what did Nathan do and screams.Zewia hears the scream and stands up, walking to the restroom.
"What happened?" she looks at Amanda and Nathan, her eyes widen in shock after seeing what Nathan did. "F-ck." She whispers.
Zewia goes to get some bandages and goes to restroom. She bandages Nathan's fingers after cleaning the blood.
"Be careful..." Zewia whispered, turning back to Amanda "Now, can you tell what happened properly?"
Amanda looked at Nathans hand and then Zewia.
"He was angry... And biting his nails. I was talking to him, explaining why he should not be that angry because of the boss... Then I saw his hands... Like that, his nails was between his teeth."
Zewia was shocked but seemchill, she did not know he would be that angry because of what happened with the manager. She looked at Nathan. "I did not think you would do something like that..." She says, looking away.After bandaging Nathans fingers properly, they go back to employees room.
Zhenya laughed "what are thoooose!!" He pointed at Nathans bandages on his fingers
Nathan Replies "Shut the f-ck up goddamnit"
Zhenya looks at Nathan in disappointment, he was expecting Nathan to smile at his joke.
"Look brother, I think he needs a rest now." Amanda said kindly to Zhenya.
Zhenya nods, asking Amanda about what happened. Amanda explains everything to him, how Nathan was angry, how he rip out his nails. Zhenya did not expected such a thing from a calm person like Nathan,
