47 - The Truth (2/2)

As Yellow had been left alone to do his job for a while by Ballista. As predicted, he was in his department doing his job.

And he did it well. Maybe too well.

"Good morning. Newbie." He looked over to see a woman with dark hair.

"Uh. Good Morning.."

"My apologies. I'm assuming Victim didn't tell you. My name is Coal, I'm the general manager of all the tech departments." She spoke.

"Ohhhh, yeah he didn't ehe.." he said.

Coal gave a small giggle. "Well, I hope you have a good first day. Don't be afraid to ask me any questions." She said, walking away.

She seemed nice.. tho it would make Yellow kind of nervous as she would keep popping over his shoulder every now and then to just monitor his first day.

As Yellow continued to work, he was getting very suspicious of the types of tech that was being created. Guns?? Bombs? Spears? All sorts of tech was being created but.. the weaponry scared him a little.

Why would a company that specializes in computers need weapons?

Yellow looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to him. He then looked up at a few cameras.

He waited..

And waited..

Waited..

Now!! He quickly snapped a photo with his phone once no one was looking.

He would need this for dirt later anyways.. in case he whatever Maroon said was true.

As Yellow worked his ass off, taking pics when he can, Coal soon approached him.

"Hey." She spoke as Yellow practically jumped out his seat. She simply giggled.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" She laughed. "But it is 11:00. You should probably go on your break." She smiled.

"Oh! R-right uh-" he looked around then looked back at her.

"Oh! Right, there's a break room. It's by the Marketing and Sales department, actually. Third door down the hall."

"Oh, okay! Thank you." He smiled as he stood up and started to head in that direction.

Marketing.. Marketing.. Marketing.. aha! He saw the sign that said Marketing and Sales Department. As he walked through the department, he saw the sign. "Break room"

"Here we go." Yellow spoke. Then he remembered Maroon's words.

"Hm." He thought for a minute. He wondered if there was anything illegally documented..

He checked the time. 30 minutes.. surely that was enough time to get in and out. He glanced at the elevator and gave a small huff.

Yellow gave one last look at the door of the break room before giving another huff. "Oh, fuck it!" He said as he walked into the elevator and pressed the button to the top floor.

As the elevator doors closed, Yellow took a deep breath. This was it. A choice he could never take back.. all those rumors and warning.. the red flags.. they all brought him here. Just one look around Victim's office, that's all he needed. And he'd have all his questions answered..

As the elevator soon reached the top floor with a ding! Yellow heard some shuffling as he entered a room off to the side, peaking around the corner.

"Hm. I supposed I have some time to kill." Victim spoke, exiting his office with Shady. "I just had got done organizing my files anyways." He shrugged, following Shady to the elevator. Once the doors closed, Yellow walked to Victim's office, facing the door.

He gave a huff as he gently turned the knob, opening the door. He looked around. No one. As he shut the door behind him, the strong aroma of coffee filled the room.

"Guess this guy must really like his coffee, huh." Yellow spoke. "Oookay.." he looked at his phone. "27 minutes. I got this." He said.

Yellow began to search around the room, in drawers and stacks upon stacks of paper and files. Careful to keep his movements swift yet steady, ready for any noise sounding not like his own.

As he sifted through the paperwork, there was a folder that stood out. All the other folders were named but this one was.. blank.

Yellow tilted his head. He may have found what he was looking for.

He grabbed the folder as he opened it up to a large stapled stack of papers. As the folder was opened, another paper fell out. As Yellow picked it up, his eyes widened. It was.. a wanted poster!

"Wanted alive, The Chosen One and The Second Coming??!!! Reward: 25 thousand dollars!!? He wants his own brothers captured??What would he want with his own brothers??" He asked before taking a picture with his phone. He then shifted through the file he had picked up.

It was all info on them. Extremely detailed info on how they act, fight, even their weaknesses!

As Yellow continues to look through, he felt his heart sink again. There was information on their entire friend circle aswell.

"Wh.. what does he want with us..?" He mumbled.  As Yellow did his hardest to think, he just couldn't place his finger on it. He's supposed to be the smart one!! And he couldn't figure this out!!

As Yellow continued to search that's when he jumped. He was suddenly grabbed and a rag laced with some sort of chemical was placed over his nose and mouth.

Yellow could feel tears prickle in his eyes from both the chemical and fear as he claws at the person's hand, slowly slipping from consciousness as his arms felt heavy.

"Hm. I tried to warn you." Victim spoke, in an almost bored tone.

As Yellow finally lost consciousness, Shady gently laid him on the floor. "Where do you want him, sir?"

"Hm. Bring him to the box."
