Day 1
It was a normal day in the basement- damp, cold and quiet. Occasionally Roy would make a comment and break said silence. But today was different. Roy had called in sick and had asked for the next week off. But Moss knew it was because his sister was coming down. Douglas had said that he would be hiring someone extra for the department anyway, he explained that "We need more gay employees around the building." Which of course made Jen nervous, the boys don't really like new comers. And she was afraid Moss would end up on a date with the new employee.
Suddenly the door burst open and a very tired looking man walked through the door. He was well groomed, had large eyes and wore his underwear visible above the waist. Jen was nervous already.
"Hello?" Jen asked.
"Huh?" The new guy looked up very confused and tired.
"What's your name?" Jen asked like she was speaking to Moss when he didn't understand something.
"Oh, Jim Moriarty, hi~" Jim replied. The man spoke in a strange accent, Jen couldn't quite place it.
"That's a strange name. So, introductions. I'm Jen, and that is Moss" Jen spoke gesturing to the man behind his desk typing away. "Moss?"
"Oh, yes Jen?" Moss ceased his typing and leaned back in his office chair.
"This is Jim, say hello." Jen felt like a teacher by this point.
"Hello, Jim! I'm Moss, nice to meet you." Moss offered his hand. But Jim just stood there vacant.
"Jim?" Jen asked, nudging Jim.
Jim toppled over onto the couch fast asleep.
"Oh, another weirdo." Jen whispered under her breath.
POV: Moriarty
What happened? "Huh?" I spoke. I woke up on a sofa inside what looked to be a basement or isolated building.
"Oh, you're awake?" A female voice spoke from across the room. A British accent no doubt.
"Jen, it turn's out I got be-tt-er." An Irish man trailed off. "Who's this?!"
"This is Jim. He is our new employee" The female spoke. "He's gay" She whispered, obviously thinking I couldn't hear her.
I slowly slouched up off the sofa. "What happened? Where am I?"
"Oh, yeah. You passed out last night. I guess we should introduce ourselves again. I'm Jen, this is Roy and the one in glasses over there is Moss." Jen spoke up
"Hi!" The guy called Moss chimed.
"So, Jim. Where're you from?" Roy asked swaying back and forth. Obviously he can't pick up my accent.
"Why?" I replied.
"Alright, sorry I asked." Roy walked over to what was obviously his desk.
"So, what are your skills in IT?" Jen asked.
"Where are yours?" I replied.
"Sorry, what?" She began to blush.
"Nevermind. I don't really have any special skills. Eerm, what about you?" I asked Moss.
POV: Roy
The new guy was getting uncomfortably close to Moss, it was quite unnerving. The worst thing is Moss doesn't understand when men come onto him.
"I am a generally all round guy..." Moss started, obviously proud of himself.
I bet he's from Scotland or somewhere. He sounds like he's from everywhere.
"Hey, Jim. What's your name?" I blurted out.
"Jim Moriarty, why?" Jim replied
The name caught me by surprise. I know that name! he's some criminal or something! Oh god! What are we going to do? I am 97% sure it's him!
"N-No reason." Did I just give myself away for stuttering?
I heard of his name when I was on the streets those two hours. The thought still makes me cringe.
POV: Jim
Does he know who I am? Probably, but he wont say anything. He's too scared. At that Jen started to speak again. "So Jim, where are you from?"
"Ireland" I replied. She is kind of annoying.
"Wow, Roy is Irish too." She spoke quite loud, obviously trying to get Roy's attention.
"I know."
"Wait, what?!" Roy shouted, obviously startled by my comment. Could he be anymore obvious?
"Your accent." I stated.
"Oh, right... Yeah, of course." He said under his breath. He knows. He knows who I am. I should probably- Wait no, he's not brave enough.
