Chi-Chi was heading inside the house, she was holding a resume. She stopped when she saw Musk sitting on the couch just watching TV.
"Typical," she sighed, not surprised.
"What's typical?" Musk asked, getting out of his seat. He was holding a can of beer.
"You doing nothing and lying about in my house!" she snapped, irritated.
"Well, I don't have a job. None of the jobs you've been given me work with my skills," Musk said.
"All of them, except your new job," she replied, handing him a resume.
Musk read the resume.
"You got me a job as a caretaker for a resort?" he asked.
"Yes. A job that requires you to do nothing. Something that you are a professional at," she said.
"Finally! It's about time you actually gave me a job that I would like!" Musk exclaimed excitedly.
"Well, thank you," Chi-Chi said proudly.
Musk took the resume from her.
"Also, Gohan and I will stay with you," Chi-Chi said.
Musk then paused for a second.
'Great I'm now going to be stuck in a hotel with my sister,' Musk thought to himself. Instead of saying that out loud, he forced a smile. "That's good," he said.
He ran to his room and started to pack his clothes, soap, tooth brush, and other amenities. He ran out the door to his car and saw Gohan walking past him.
"Hi, Uncle Musk," Gohan said.
"Hi kid!" Musk said as he started to drive away from the house.
He had a GPS with him and followed it precisely it was far from the house, but not that far. He saw the hotel; it was big resort with a red roof and gray walls. The lawn had fresh green grass covered in leaves. The topiary of lions looked like it was in good condition. He got out of his car and looked for the manager of the hotel. He saw a man in a black suit with a short man in overalls and most likely thought it was him.
"Hey excuse me!" Musk said as he approached the man.
"Oh you must be the new care taker, Musk, right?" the manager asked.
"Indeed, so when do I start?" Musk asked excited.
"Just hand me your resume and then we'll start," the manager answered.
Musk handed the resume to the manager. He read through the resume and smiled.
"Welcome to your new job as the care taker for the Over Watched Hotel. Mr. Gordon will give you a tour," he said.
The short old man that was with him walked towards the hotel, so Musk followed him.
"And here is the kitchen. You'll have to go into town to stock up on food," Mr. Gordon said, giving him a tour of the kitchen.
"Thanks for telling me," Musk replied.
Musk then thought of something to say.
"Hey, Mr. Gordon is there anything I should know about the hotel?" Musk asked.
Mr. Gordon looked surprised.
"Well, the previous tenant, Jack Weber, got cabin fever. He killed his wife and two daughters before taking his own life, which is why we are not allowing families to stay," he explained, saddened.
Musk looked surprised.
'Geez, I hope he doesn't say this to all the new employees,' Musk thought.
"Wait. You mean I don't have stay here with my sister until the end of winter?" Musk asked.
"Yes, now follow me for the final part of the tour," Mr. Gordon said walking out of the kitchen.
When Mr. Gordon said yes, Musk looked absolutely happy. He would be free from his sister until spring! He would be alone in a giant fancy hotel! With a bar!
"Here's the boiler room. Now this is important, so I need you to listen," Mr. Gordon said sternly.
"Listening," Musk replied.
"Once a month I need you to readjust the boiler. In order to do so you need to first turn the blue knob all the way to the right to cool it down. Then, turn the blue knob all the way left. After that, wait a couple of minutes. Finally, turn the red knob all the way to the right," Mr. Gordon explained.
"Sounds easy enough," Musk said.
"If not you risk the hotel," Mr. Gordon said.
"I figured that when you told me about the boiler room," Musk replied.
Mr. Gordon had his bags with him and was by the door preparing to leave.
"Good. Now remember you can have your family visit you, but they cannot stay. Also, do not go into room 237," Mr. Gordon said.
"Got it. Now good bye have fun where ever you are going to," Musk said as he hurried the man out.
As Gordon was out on the deck, Musk slammed the door. He got out his cell phone. He went to his contact list and selected home. After a couple of seconds of ringing his sister answered.
"Hello?" Chi-Chi asked.
"I got the job," Musk said on the phone.
"That's great! I'll get Gohan to pack his stuff!" Chi-Chi replied, excited.
"Yeah, there's just one little catch," Musk said.
"What's that?" she asked.
"They said that family can't stay here," Musk said.
Well, here's the first chapter. Tell me what you think about it. The story will at times satirize The 1980 Shining film. Also try and find the two Easter eggs I put in this chapter.
