Chapter 2 "Tricked"
fade in
Andie and I had been talking and laughing with each other until we left the office and the three kids, whose names let alone species I realized we still didn't know, rushed off across the lot.
"Where are they going?" Andie asked.
"The same place you are," Plotz said. For a reason I didn't yet get he sounded like he was talking to two rather annoying children. He pointed. Andie and I looked and saw the kids quickly climbing the ladder to the water tower.
"What on earth?" Andie said sounding shocked.
"Are you nuts?" I asked. "Who lives in a water tower?"
"They do," Plotz said as if it was the most obvious thing in the universe. "And for the next year so do you."
"Come again?" Andie and I both gasped. The nurse handed us three file folders as Plotz continued.
"You two have agreed to accept a very difficult job. Keeping those three maniacs under control," I examined the folders as we crossed the lot. I handed them to Andie.
"Question," I finally blurted. "What if some of us…uh me namely, don't exactly do heights?" Before I got an answer Andie yelled.
"Damages?" she frowned. "What the heck's that mean?"
"Something is telling me we should have done more than just scanned the contracts." I muttered. I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I glanced at the water tower again not really realizing we were next to the ladder until.
"Well what're you waiting for?" Plotz yelled behind me. I jumped. "Start climbing!" I grabbed the ladder and placed one foot on the lowest rung. I looked up.
"Not safe," I muttered. I stood for a moment longer and finally yelled. "I can't!" I turned back to the people behind me. "I just can't!" Mr. Plotz frowned darkly.
"And just why not?" he demanded.
"Because I freak out when I climb a stepladder!" I shot back. "It's not worth it. Andie you can go if you want, but I won't! Not for any amount of money and least of all for three children I don't even know!"
"Get climbing now!" Plotz said. I knew he was getting mad. His face was turning five shades of red, but I was defiant.
"No!"
"Hey," I looked up to see the three kids looking over the edge of the platform. "Aren't you coming?" I shook my head. "But why?" the brown slacks wearing boy asked. "You aren't scared are you?"
"Well, I…yeah." I responded.
"Get real!" the boy yelled. "You can do it!"
"No I can't!" I said. The boy frowned.
"I knew there was something about you humans I didn't like." He said. "You're all weaklings who let your fears control your every move."
"Excuse me?" I said.
"You probably couldn't make it up here anyway. Why bother trying?" He shrugged and turned on his heel. "It's sad really. I ALMOST liked you."
"Oh that tears it," I grabbed the ladder. "You little…uh…whatever you are…I'll make you eat those words!"
"Before you do," the boy said. "Take a good look around." I stopped my fist mid-swing and did look. In a fog of anger I had made my way up the ladder and onto the top platform. The boy again turned and proceeded into the water tower.
"Wait just a minute here," I said following the kid. "How in the name of all that is good did you manage that?" I didn't notice Andie or for that matter our other three companions.
"Reverse psychology," the boy picked up a book seeming determined to ignore me, but then continued. "It's quite the trick. You tell someone they can't do something and common nature causes said someone to prove you wrong."
"Oh," I said. I turned to Andie who's eyes were huge. "You okay?" I asked.
"This is so NOT a normal water tower," she gasped. "This doesn't just defy the laws of physics! It out and out breaks every blessed one!" I giggled briefly, and then I remembered Andie's yelling. I was about to ask when,
"Well," by now I was getting quite fed up with being scared out of my skin by a guy half my size.
"Well what?" I yelled back with the same fierceness.
"What do you think?" he indicated the water tower. I opened my mouth to make a wise-crack and was cut off again. This time by Andie.
"It'll do," she said absently. For once Plotz didn't say anything. Which I found quite odd. The door shut and for a moment I didn't react, but then,
"Hey!" I yelled. "Wait a-" I went to the door and yanked.
"Don't bother," the boy said. "You can't get out like that." I kicked the door.
"We're locked in!" I yelled at Andie.
"We're- WHAT?" Andie yelled coming out of her trance-like state. I went over to the couch and slumped onto it.
"This has got to be the WORST day of my life," I muttered. Then, I again remembered Andie's scream as we crossed the lot. "Andie, what were you yelling about?"
"Read this," she handed me a paper labeled "EXPENSES AND SALARY EXCEPTIONS". I scanned it and frowned.
"This IS the worst day of my life." I confirmed.
