"Absolutely not."
"C'mon Sion she seemed genuinely sorry," Volt said, "She would be a huge asset here."
"So what about her ass Volt?" Kou chipped in.
"Shut up," Volt said.
"Hey man, calm down."
"Sion she's not the bad guy, er girl any more. People change. I changed. Kou's okay with it."
"Hey wait a second," Kou but was lost in a outburst by Sion who seemed to have been contemplating.
"NO! Volt, think for a second, she tried to kill us, you especially. And she scares Dominique," Sion said trying to reason.
"She deserves a second chance, doesn't everyone?"
"Listen let me talk to Dominique in private for a second," Sion said.
"Fine."
Sion left the storeroom at the Fate that had been the scene of the heated argument.
"Sion's really against this Volt, I have a feeling he's not gonna go along with it," Kou said.
"Yeah, you're right he's stubborn, but maybe Dominique might be able to soften him up, she's changed him."
"Yeah . . . maybe," Kou said not really believing himself.
Sion walked into the storeroom again with an air of defeat about him.
"All right," he sighed, "Dom and the owner have agreed to hire her for a week and if she does well then they'll keep her on as a permanent position, but if she slips up . . ."
"Sion, thank you," Volt calmly, "This means a lot to me, and to Aena, too."
"Aena?" Kou and Sion inquired.
"That's her name," Volt told them.
Dominique walked in, "Sion its your shift. If you don't get out there the owner is gonna get mad. He says the arguments over so get out there and do what he pays you to do."
"Yeah, yeah I'm goin. Out in the cold," he said glumly.
"Well I'm done for today. I've gotta go tell Aena. I'll see you tomorrow," Volt said.
"Yeah later," Kou said.
Sion walked off and gave Volt a small wave, perhaps a little resentful for the Echidna situation.
Volt walked out to his car hopped into it and pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. It had Echidna's hotel address and number. He drove there, it took a little over five minutes. He got there walked in and talked to the man at the desk and he told Volt that she was waiting for him.
"Let's see Room 237," he muttered riding in the elevator.
He felt hot, which was strange, for he had just been out in the cold. Butterflies began to form in his stomach. He then began to chuckle.
"Volt Krueger, accomplished fighter, is alone in an elevator. Finally feeling like an adolescent boy. Idiot. She'd never go for me."
He then proceeded to hit the side of the elevator and it shook.
"Probably shouldn't do that," he said and laughed at himself some more.
A small ding pierced the silence and the doors open. Volt strode through the doorway and watched the people board the elevator. He noticed several couples enter the elevator and felt a small pang somewhere within his body. He found Echidna's room and knocked at the door. No answer. His hand was sweating lightly now and he shook slightly, not visibly however.
"Echidna?" Volt questioned in the general direction of the door while knocking, "Echidna?"
He began to turn around when the door cracked open, slightly ajar, Echidna stuck her head out. Her hair was wet and she had obviously just been in the shower.
"Whoops, bad timing," he said, beginning to blush.
"Hold on a second Volt just let me grab some clothes quick," Aena said flushing as well.
She ran away from the door and after a few minutes came and unlocked it. She was wearing a plain, but sexy orange turtleneck and a pair of plain flared jeans. It was very plain, but to Volt the way it fit her made him feel weak at the knees.
They sat down on a small couch in front of a television with a small coffee table in front of it. He looked around the room. It was actually very nice. It was really a suite with a rather large kitchen and a large bedroom adjacent to the living room they were in now.
"So what's the news?" Aena asked.
"You got the job. Sion doesn't trust you, but Kou, Dominique, and I persuaded him to give you a chance."
"Thank you so much Volt. I really cannot thank you enough."
"It's nothing."
"No really it is," she said earnestly and gave him a small hug.
Volt tensed up a little but relaxed.
"There's a condition. You have to be on good behavior. You have one week to prove yourself an asset to the bar according to Sion. As long as your good and do a nice job they'll keep you on."
"No problem," she said, "Do you want to stick around and have a cup of coffee or something?"
"Er, yeah, of course if it's no problem."
"Of course not it's the least I could do. You got me a job."
"Thanks, Aena."
"Thank you, Volt."
That ends the newest installment. I guess. I hope you like it. But if you do or don't let me know. R/R!!!!!!!!
