章 12: 11 - First mission [3]

[Tomorrow's schedule]

I opened the email and saw a long message with lots of details about tomorrow.

[Dear Mr. Black,

My name is Megan Allen. I am the receptionist you met earlier. I inform you that you need to be at the reception at 09:00 tomorrow. There you will meet the senior janitor, who will teach you the fundamentals of the job.

Also, if you want to have breakfast, you will have to go somewhere nearby.

Since you will start working tomorrow, you will have to wear the uniform that is in your wardrobe.

Without anything to say, I wish you a good night.

Megan Allen.]

After I finished reading the message, I got up from bed and went to the wardrobe, and what I saw was the typical gray janitor's uniform.

'Also, I have to be there at nine, huh? It's better than in the organization, where I had to get up at 7 am.'

As I walked up to the bed, I looked sideways and saw myself reflected in the bathroom's mirror. Honestly, I didn't look like someone who is starting to work, so I wouldn't be surprised if they suspect something about us, but at the same time, we are too young to be targets of suspicion.

Even at this point, I can't believe we are here. The excuse they used for Rachel to work as a secretary was that she was a trainee, and for me, it didn't need that justification, after all, I'm just a janitor.

Bzzt-

Some sound snapped me back to reality. It was the phone, vibrating on the table where I left it when I entered the room. I approached it and saw that there was a call entering. After I noticed who it was I picked it up, soon after that, I heard the voice of the person calling.

[Aaron, did you get the message?]

"Yes, I did. Is there something wrong, Rachel?"

I didn't expect her to call me directly. If she did it, that meant something was wrong. Or was I just supposing things?

[There isn't anything strange for now, but we have to stay alert, we don't know what could happen. Also, I called you to remember to stick to the plan.]

Sigh-

"I will do it, don't worry."

[That's good. See you tomorrow.]

"Yes, good ni-"

Beep beep-

'Did she hang up without saying goodbye? She did. And why call for that?'

With those questions in mind, I went to bed hoping for the best for the next day.

...

I got up from bed at 7:30 am. I could have slept more, but since I wanted to have breakfast, I decided to go to one coffee shop I found after searching for it before I slept.

I left my room, already in my uniform. I talked a little with the receptionist, Megan, and finally got out of the building. The coffee shop was not far from here, so I just started walking until I saw the sign for the shop.

The shop was called 'Aufhellender Mond'. It was a strange name, but while searching for the shop, I learned that it was a German company that had been expanding in the last few years. I never heard of it, but after investigating a bit, it was true that it was a very big international company, and operated in many sectors, including coffee shops.

Since it was March, it was still a little chilly outside, so I entered the shop. It was a medium size room, not too large, but it was bigger than normal shops. There were several tables, and I could see the counter at the end of the room. Even though it was quite early, there were already people, some drinking coffee, and others with their laptops.

While I was going toward the counter, I was looking around the shop. It was simple, to say the least. It was a wooden floor, and the walls were a light shade of gray. Although there wasn't any decoration at all, it didn't look dull, it seemed clean.

Behind the counter, there was a woman that looked a little older than me. She was around 5' 9'' and had pale skin that was highlighted against her wavy long hair. She had green eyes and an oval face.

When she saw me approaching, she put on a smile and started taking my order.

"Welcome to 'Mond'. What do you want to order?"

"Hello, I would like a latte."

"Perfect. We will send it to your table."

"Okay."

With that, I went back and sat at a table. Not long after, a waiter came and left my coffee on the table. Without waiting a bit I took a sip.

Sigh-

'It has been ages since the last coffee I drank.'

In the organization's canteen, they didn't have coffee, something that surprised me. That fact made me suffer quite a bit since I always drank coffee several times a day before coming here, you could say I am a coffee addict.

After taking my time with the drink, I finally finished and paid with a card that the Boss gave us to pay for everything we needed. I didn't know how much money we could spend, but I didn't have any desire to know it.

I left the shop, and by the time I got to the reception of the building, I saw that someone was already there. It was an old man. He seemed to be around the age of 60. He had white short hair and black eyes. He looked in good shape, which probably means that he had worked all his life. He was wearing the same uniform as me, so I guessed he was the senior janitor.

When I approached him, he looked at me and then smiled.

"Hi, are you the new janitor I have to teach?"

"Yes, my name is Black Ellis. Nice to meet you..."

"Richard Hughes. Nice to meet you too."

He smiled kindly at me and then proceeded to speak once more.

"Well, should we start now? Come on, I will teach you the basics."

"Yes."

And with that, we started walking out of the reception.
