Tale of a Garden

Chapter 5: Introdution to Death

This place could use a redesigning in everything.
I feel like a blind man came in here with a paint brush and ran around the place willy nilly.....not that I'm insulting them or anything.

I suspect I was too deep into thought that I almost walked into a wall, which thankfully Agent Richards stopped me by grabbing my shoulder not too gently.
I turned around to thank him and ask him why he couldn't have grabbed me more gently. I guess I had put up a more menacing
He look utterly ridiculous with his mouth wide open trying to come up with explanation to why he's touching my shoulder.

I measly laughed at the Agent.

And he nervously laughed with me
Which I allowed of course.
"You're quite the courage there Agent Richards, dispute the dire warnings that I gave you about calling me 'Dude'
or any sort like that."

The Agent was altogether getting paler by the second.

"But I made no threats about touching me, so I presume you're off the hook."

The Agent never seem more relived to hear me speak. He fixed his tie to show some respect to me somehow.
"I guess I'll leave you to face the headmaster, Mr.Storm."

I smirked at the Agent before shaking his hands.
"Well then my good fellow I'll see you on the other side so wish me luck."
Ending my sentence with a wink.

His face heated up before opening the door for me(what a gentleman) and gestures me to go in.

I bid him farewell and say that if that I don't come back out in 30 minutes to come and rescue me.

I barely walked into the room before the door closed behind me.
I look around the room, which isn't very well lit up.

The Headmaster should could use some more lamps in here. Does he want someone to injure themselves by running into an object.

I kept on walking forward until I almost reached the end of the room and hidden in the shadows was a desk.

"Hello Mr. Storm I'm glad that you so gratefully accepted our offer to join the Agency once again, I pursue you've over come a little obstacle that was a pain in the ass here." exclaimed the Headmaster with such pride.

"You know it's quite ungentleman like to talk about a woman, let alone my own mother behind her back, Headmaster."

He let out a hearty laugh.
If I snap and 'accidentally' kill this man don't blame me, Mother. I did this on your honor.

The Headmaster stood up from his chair and walked around the desk to get a better look at me.

"My my look who's grown up. My guess is that you took up a hobby that included being outside to distract you from an empty feeling inside of your soul?"

I remained silent.

"Now Benjamin, would your mother like to see you being rude to me by not responding?...Of course not my Dear Ben, she would be horrified by your manners."

I clenched my shaking fists wanting so badly to connect my hand to his ragged face, but I held strong and replied back.

"My Mother is quite the brilliant woman, she would understand the outcome of my reasons.....and to answer your question, I did take up a hobby.. No a job that involves the outdoors."

He smile knowing that he was correct in his assumption.

"Now my dear Ben enough about you, it's now to talk about the future of the Agency." The Headmaster boomed.

"I'm listening." I responded trying to not make eye contact.

"I want you to train the new recruits."
He smiled with such...hope.

What I though I was going to have to argue with him about letting me doing that with the recruits.
I guess step one is simpler then I thought.

I smiled." I agree to take up your offer, Sir." I turned to go shake his hand.
Which he graciously accepted.

"Great you start tomorrow."

This is gonna be easier than I thought.
