We Six

The Company

"HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME." I scream while these two men try to shove me into a long limo. "You're coming with us." They said in low, deep monetone voices. "Are you the police? Because whatever you think I did I didn't do I promise" I say to try and make them get their hands off of me but I had no success they pushed me into the car and we proceeded to drive away. After a long car ride that smelled like feet and cigarette smoke we arrive to a very tall mysterious building right in the middle of town. The building was so bland and basic I paid no attention to it so it was like seeing it for the first time. "The boss wanted to see you." The two large men explain to me. "I wonder why?" Once we walked through the doors I'm bombarded by clapping. I thought it was for me until I seen an old man dressed in all grey with a grey beard and no hair walking up to me thanking people with every step he took. As he walked up to me I can hear my heart beat right out of my chest. "You didn't do anything wrong you know that" I tell myself. Once the man finally got up to me after thanking everyone for the appreciation of his greatness (his words not mine) he opens his mouth and says "CONNOR IM SO GLAD YOURE HERE!" He says like he's a high school cheerleader. Too preppy. "How was the ride Connor? Were my men good to you?" "Yeah I love being taken against my will by two men then shoved into a car that smelled like a toilet after Mexican. Highlight of my week." I say in a sarcastic way with a smug smile on my face. "Well everyone has their interest." This old man says trying to make good out of a bad situation. "So I'm guessing you want to know why you're here, right?" "Obviously!" I say with intentions of getting him angry so I can see how crazy this man is. "Well why don't we go to my office so I can explain a little bit before the first test begins?" He so happy, almost too happy. "What test?" I say paranoid being a highschool drop out. He completely ignores me and keeps walking down this long hallway to his office. Arriving to his office it's in the shape of an oval with two book cases, a desk, two chairs one in front of the desk one behind it, and a giant window giving a clear view of the junkyard right behind the building. Everything is a grey color, a grey like an overcast winter morning. "Take a seat." He points to the little chair in front of the desk while he goes and sits in the throne of a chair behind it. After we sit down he smiles for a second then opens his mouth and says "How rude of me. You've already been through so much and I haven't even told you my name, well hello my name is Gary but my colleagues call me Captain Grey as you can tell I like the color grey. So you can choose what you wanna call me." He smiles again making me agitated and before I know it I say "Gary is it? Well I'm gonna call you bootleg Santa Claus because that's what you look like, I don't know why I'm here and right now I don't want to be here so tell me what's going on and it better be good cause if not I'm gonna rip that beard right off your face. Now start talking." He looks at me with a stunned face like he thought I wasn't capable of such harsh words. "I assure you the reason you're here is good. And the reason is because you're special!" I look at him dumbfounded, I get up and try to walk out but security stops me. I sit back down, look at him and scream "Because I'm special? Are you kidding me?" "No I'm not kidding, you're very special. Listen I'm not supposed to tell you this but." He leans in looking at the door to see if anyone's there, he looks back at me and begins to whisper "We brought you here because we think you can be a very important asset to this company." Looking confused I ask "How can I be an asset when I don't even know what this company is?" Waiting on the edge of my seat for the next words to come out of his mouth "BEEEEP" a loud noise comes from the rooms P.A system attracting everyone's attention a women comes on and says in a very monetone and heartless voice "Let the first test commence." The door slammed shut and locked on its own, the lights turned red then turned back to white. I turn to look back to Captain Grey and his mood changes dramatically​ what once was the happy Captain was gone now it was a devilish man staring at me. Scared out of my mind on what just happened Captain starts to open his mouth  and says in a deep terrifying voice "let's begin."
