Chapter number 12. Martha who?
"Ok I'll show you around quickly and then we'll let you get some sleep" the man explained as they came through the door. "I'm Daniel by the way".
"Ok. So how big is this house?" Martha asked amazed at the size of it, it was huge, well she always thought her dad's house would be big, but she never even thought this big.
"I lost track of the size last time they added another floor" Daniel exclaimed. "So, we'll start over here".
Martha's tour of the house lasted about an hour or two, and by the end of it she was so tied she just wanted to curl up where she was and go to sleep. "This is where you'll be staying with the other three maids" Daniel told her as they walked into a room downstairs. It was actually quite a nice room, it had carpet, unlike the unpolished wooden splintering wooden floors where she used to stay, there were actual beds, not just mattresses. 'Maybe I could get used to this' Martha thought to herself. "Well I'll leave you to get some rest then" Daniel said leaving the room.
"Thanks".
"No problem. Oh an I almost forgot to tell you, up at six".
"Ok" Martha replied before falling onto the bed into the quilt.
In Brett's office he was just finishing up ready to go to bed when Daniel knocked on the door. "Yes, what is it?" Brett asked.
"Um, sir I've got the paper work form Miss Green on the new maid".
"Ok, just put them on my desk and I'll look at them in the morning. You better of chosen a good worker this time, I don't want to yet again have to sell just after I bought".
"Well Miss Green did think very highly of her".
"Oh really, it makes you wonder why she sold her then. Anyway, who have you chosen this time?"
"Martha Mckenzie sir" Daniel replied.
Brett's attention was quickly brought to him in a shock, "Martha who?"
"Mckenzie".
"Bring her to me" Brett ordered loudly.
"Are you ok sir?"
"Just bring her to me!" he repeated shouting as he stood up.
"As you wish sir" Daniel answered leaving the room in humble obedience to fetch Martha.
"Rose wake up!" Yasmin screamed from about a meter away, the room around them was full of smoke so thick that anything more than a few meters away was not visible, tow of the walls across the room was completely on fire and slowly taking over the roof. "Come on we have to get out, It's going to collapse".
Rose quickly got up coughing as she let Yasmin help her to her feet. "Ahh watch out" she squealed jumping as a pillar that was completely alight fell next to them.
Yasmin unable to take the level of smoke any longer fell to the floor "Go without me" she managed to get out.
Next time:
Martha faces Brett, will he take pitty on her or whack her into line?
Still to come:
Lives are at risk, who will make it and who won't?
