I was leaving the building when the manager saw me. He said hello to me and smiled at me. I, on the other side just ran right past him. I did not want any contact with this place till night. I was mortified for the rest of the day. I was hesitating if I should return to the restaurant ever again. But since I signed up for this "job" I had no choice. I slept for the day and I told my boss I was sick, and I could not come to the lab for a week. He understood. The night came by way quicker than expected. I was already running late. Classic Ash... I got to the entrance just in time. The manager was about to close the door when I swooped in. We've exchanged smiles and I ran into the office. Then I sat down onto the chair and calmed myself down. Stress isn't the best friend, you know. When I calmed down, I looked at the cameras. "Everything seems normal, for now." I turned around and walked to the bookshelf. I took the book named "Mysterious crafts of resurrection", a strange book if you ask me. I began to read it. Page by page, word by word, letter by letter. As I progressed through the book the topics became stranger and stranger. The last few pages we're handwritten. I recognized that handwriting. It's was MR.Janson's. And I found one of my reasearch papers in the book too! The blood one!!! I was frightened. Then I heard something ramble in the hallway. I quickly ran to the cameras and checked the system. This time it was a big green bird animatronic. It was looking at the camera. We somehow made eye contact. It twitched and then it said my name. "Ashley, Ashley, Aaash. Let us through. We want the right thing. We want to be dead!" I immediately closed the doors and scrunched under the desk. There was a lot of trash under. And there was a book. It was named Diary of the resurrection spell, the complete guide to resurrecting somebody. I heard a loud banging on the other side of the door. I was quiet within seconds. The banging continued for a few seconds but then it went away. I wiggled out from my hideout and opened the door. In my mind, I still heard the manager's voice. "Remember to conserve power!" I immediately opened the door, but what was waiting for me on the other side was... Strange. It was paper. I picked it up and looked at the other side. It read "Hello Ashley, My name is Jennifer. I am one of THEM. Save us! Seventeen of March 1978." A second later I saw the green bird running straight to me. I panicked and closed the door again. I used the spark as the manager told me to. I was frightened to death. Then I peeked out from the window. The bird was running away from the office. I opened the door and looked into the hallway. No signs of life. I relieved myself. The clock struck eight AM again and I was free once again. I saw the manager walk into the restaurant. "Good Morning Leah! How was the night?" Said the manager. "Everything alright. I am going to clean up the mess I made in the office and I'll be on my way home." I said. "Geat! We will have a meeting tomorrow so don't miss it please!". "Alright..." I said with a confused face. I got myself up and started cleaning. After about 20 minutes the day guard walked into the office. "Hello, ma'am! My name is Rodger, the day guard of Three Amigos. How can I help you?" then he noticed my uniform and the night symbol. "Ah sorry, ma'am. I thought you were a woman that was lost." Said the day guard. "No worries, I am about to leave. " I said with some happiness. After that I left the building and went home. I texted MR. Janson that I will be in the lab by eleven AM. He texted back saying he will be happy to see me and he has some work for me. Thrilled with excitement I lied down onto the bed and fell asleep. Thirty minutes before I had to leave I got up, took a shower and had a snack. Then I went to the Lab. Mr. Janson was waiting for me with flowers in his hand. I thought that was a nice gesture from him. I went inside and started to work on my next reasearch paper. This time he told me to not worry about finishing it. He just needed the "core" reasearch because one of his assistants will complete the paper for me. He said he is giving me a rase and that I will get an assistant too. I could choose or hire someone. I put up an insertion for a job. About twenty minutes past and I had no replies. A few moments later my best friend Ari phoned me and asked me what was the job. I said the job is an assistance type job and that she would be working for me. She accepted it and I was happy that I had someone I knew. An hour has passed and Ari showed up at the parking place. I went out to meet her. She was happy that she could work with me. I walked her up to my office and sat her down. I told her everything I knew about Mr. Janson. She was petrified. She told me "Oh don't worry Ash! We will get to the bottom of this". Ash looked at her with a confused face. "You are not going to help me... I don't want to lose you..."
