rebuilding playtime'co anew

part 1 the past

               a couple months before the hour of joy

Alex Pov I just started my shift and over the intercom I hear "can Alex please report to miss Stella Greybers office please" I sigh and start walking to the elevator as i grab a grab pack " morning Alex " one of the employees say " morning don't have time to talk go to go to miss Greybers office I will be so annoyed if its those damn wires again " I say annoyed and think " the damn wires has been chewed again I swear it only has happened since those strange living mini smiling critters got there " i shake my head as i enter the elevator and press the button that leads to the game station  and start contemplating something "that its strange that so many of the orphan have been getting adopted even though there is not that many people going down to the playcare and i always make time to go and see the kid when I have time I swear almost all the employees at playcare see the kids as work that needs to be done which is true but still you don't have to act like a damn machine well besides some of the caretakers " I look at the number and see that its at the the game station and start walking to the train station " good morning Mr alex " a cheerful voice says " good morning to you to mummy long legs how are you this fine day" I ask " same old same old " mummy long legs says " sorry I cant stay and chat but Mrs Greyber wanted to see me " I say as I get to the train station " well don't let me hold you back " mummy long legs says as the train arives at the station and I get in the passenger cart " next stop the playcare " the voice over the intercom says as the train starts moving towards playcare and I sit down waiting for my stop after a few minutes " now arriving at playcare " the intercom says as the train stop and I get out and walk up to where the gondola is " morning alex " the employees working the switch's to the gondola says " morning Jeff " I say as I get into the gondola as Jeff pulls the lever as Mr ludwigs speech starts playing as the playcare comes into view and the gondola enters the playcare I see all the orphans running around with some of the smiling critters chasing them as a game of tag as the gondola stops at the bottom of the playcare and the doors open as I walk out and go to the office area and walk to Ms greybers office

Stella greybers pov I sit in my chair thinking about my choices and the horrible secrets this company now holds in its hands and I sigh as alex enters the room " Alex good to see you again " I say " the pleasure is mine ms Greyber " Alex says " you remember the party we had a couple of days ago " I ask " yes " alex says " well while someone was eating a piece of there cake they dropped there fork right onto the pipe that moves the red smoke and punchered it causing some of the red smoke to leak out luckly noone was harmed though we had to turn of the red smoke machine for a while " I say " and you want me to fix it right " Alex says " yep also the hole is somewhere over here " I say as I point to a area where the red smoke machine is " great so I have to look for it then fix it " Alex says " yep and once you are done you can have a 1 hour break" I say " thank Mrs Greyber " Alex says as he walks out and I sigh and pull his file out of a drawn name Alex age 31 job repair man hobbies fixing broken things and giving toys that are not up to quality standards a new home and I think " he is a perfect candidate to get 'that' out of the building" as I lay down in my chair 

5 hours later

Alex's Pov I sigh "I have finally fixed that damn hole who knew finding a fork sized hole in black tubes would be so hard 4 and a half hour just to find it then half a hour to fix it because I forget me tools now to rest " I think as a walk to back to playcare and sit down on the fake grass then I feel something brush against the back of my head as I look and see catnap " hey buddy " I say ever since catnap has been introduced three or four weeks ago he has been very close to me but oh well " hey catnap " I say as catnaps head shoots up too look at me " you know you remind me of one of the orphans Theo kind but shy kid you know I wish I could of adopted him instead like all the kids that randomly got adopted don't get me wrong I care about all the kids here but it may just be because I miss them they didn't even say goodbye " I say as tears forms then I chuckle and look at catnap and then lay down again resting my head  on catnaps stomach as I put my hand on his head immediately getting a purr from him as I chuckle as I look up at the fake sky and listen to the sounds of happy children " even if I have to work at playtime co for the rest of my days I will find out why those kids randomly got adopted I mean the kids get notified two day in advance so they can say there goodbyes and stuff it just doesn't feel right " I think as red smoke clouds my vision " damn you catnap " I jokingly say as I drift of to sleep "he must have seen I wasn't getting enough sleep " I think while asleep after who knows how long I wake up to the smell of vanilla " thanks dogday " I say " not a problem Mr Alex " dogday says I sit up and see that catnap isn't where he was laying " hey wheres catnap" I ask " oh he had to go back to his room " dogday say " oh ok " I say " hey speaking of catnap he has been talking about some weird skeleton arm do you know anything about it " dogday ask " nope " I say  " oh ok "  Dogday says     I sigh and get up " well got to get back to work " I say as I walk of to see if anything else needs repairs which there was
