The next day Vincent went into work expecting to see a team of paramedics taking Laura's body out of a spare suit in the parts and service room. To his surprise, that's not what he saw. The pizzeria was empty. Of course, it was early in the morning. But there were no news reporters or paramedics and Dylan wasn't running around trying to switch the media's cameras off. He walked in. Betty greeted him as always as he clocked in. And then he saw her. Laura had survived! Vincent casually walked over to her
"Hi again." Vincent greeted her. "Oh hi Vincent!" Laura greeted back. "I see you survived your first night then, Congratulations!" He congratulated her. Laura smiled and laughed. Unfortunately, Dylan had to ruin the moment for Vincent. "Sorry Vince." He said "Can I just borrow Laura for a second?". "Yeah sure!" Vincent said whilst putting on a fake smile. As Dylan walked away with Laura, Vincent sighed. "What a girl." He thought to himself.
"So Laura." Dylan explained to her "I need you to work on morning shift tomorrow. Our guard then has for some reason left the position, but only for today.". "No I can't do it." Laura replied "I quit.". Dylan laughed a nervous laugh, he hated this part. "Sorry!" He said "You're bound by contract. You can't leave!". "Oh for god's sake!" Laura shouted in anger. She lent against the wall and sighed. "I suppose the job gets easier?" She asked. "Errrm, Nope." Dylan casually replied. Laura looked as if she was about to cry. "Don't worry! I believe you'll do great!" He lied.
Vincent stood in the dining hall. Dylan had yet to assign him a job for the day. Little kids ran around him, pizza smudged around their faces. "Disgusting." He muttered to himself. "Hey there friend!" A robotic voice said behind him. "Hi Freddy." Vincent replied. "Why the long face my friend?" Freddy seemed concerned. "It's just that I don't think this new girl will survive your midnight murder attempts!" Vincent spat at Freddy in anger. "It not our fault Vincent!" Freddy chuckled "We just do what our programming tells us to!". Vincent stomped away. He needed to speak to Dylan about the plan. "Dylan!" Vincent shouted and beckoned for Dylan to come over. "What can I do for you Vince?" Dylan asked innocently. "We need to talk." Vincent's voice suddenly got darker. "About what?" Dylan was confused now. The only time Vince would say stuff like that was when... It hit Dylan. "The plan." Vincent whispered with an evil smirk on his face. "Sounds good to me!" Dylan now had an evil smirk on his face as well. "Come to my office Vince, we can talk there." Dylan led Vincent down the long hall to the office. People usually only went to the office for night shift or If Dylan or the manager needed to have a serious chat with them. This chat was serious, but it was strictly confidential between Dylan and Vincent. "It will happen soon" Vincent thought to himself "Very soon".
