"Alright, it's set up." Mangs said as she entered the room. "They finally answered, huh? Took them long enough." Tia scoffed. Mari didn't say anything. "You all right?" Mari snapped out of her trance. "Huh? Oh, yeah." In truth, she wasn't. The security guard had been bothering her all week. "I was just thinking. About the kids and the secret santa. You now, give gifts and stuff." Chi laughed. "Maybe give life too. Candy can boring as hell sometimes." Mari smiled, but deep inside, she still felt suspicion and a bit of fear.
Freddy tapped his pencil impatiently on his desk. He had been jumpy the entire day. It was the day he decided to ask Bonnie out. He took a deep breath before pushing open the door into the main lobby. Inside, Bonnie was directing a few interns in unpacking a christmas tree. Ornaments were strew about, and some workers and guards were beginning to decorate. "Hey Bonnie." Bonnie looked up. "Hey, Freddy. What's up?" Freddy motioned to the hallway. Once they were alone, Freddy began talking. "So... um... do you... Remember?" Bonnie looked confused. "Remember what?" Freddy took another breath before talking again. "Remember when Foxy came out as bisexual last year? And how I teased him about it for a while?" Bonnie slowly nodded. "Yeah... I'd like to forget that. But why do you ask?" Bonnie asked, narrowing his eyebrows. "Well... it turns out I'm a hypocrite. As in... I'm gay." Bonnie stood still for a moment. "Um... ok?" "So... the reason I'm telling you this is because... Well... Do you want to go on a date with me?" Freddy half mumbled. Bonnie didn't respond for a moment. "Well... Uh... sure...?"
Vincent lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He felt empty again. The feeling of boredom has grown worse over the week. He knew he had to do something. He thought about his old life and how it felt to kill. It hadn't felt bad, sure it shocked him how much blood could come out of a wound, but he got used to that. He thought again. Maybe there was a way he could be the hero... And the villain. He slowly smiled. He liked the sound of that.
Later at Fazcorps, Vincent walked into the security kiosk. Scott didn't say anything, as usual, but just left as soon as he saw Vincent, despite the fact that Vincent was half an hour early to his shift. Guess Scott had better places to be, Vincent thought as he rolled his eyes. He took a binder off the shelf and flipped it open. Looking at the event schedule, he smiled. Perfect, there was a field trip from a local daycare coming that week. Taking a pencil, he went over to the column that said Guards on Duty and erased a name, Rachel, and put his own. This was going to be fun.
"Hey there LT, got a minute?" Foxy paused as he was about to leave the precinct. "Sure. What's up?" Another officer, Blank, had walked up to him. "Merry Christmas, Foxy!" Blank smiled as he passed a box to him. "Ah, thanks. Did you get my gift?" Blank nodded. The two were good friends and often exchanged gifts for Christmas. "One more thing. Captain needs a transcript or something from Fazcorps. Should be ready by Friday. I'd pick it up, but I have to take that day off to go visit my parents. Could you and Bon get it?" Foxy nodded. "Sure. We're probably going to get called there for some burglar anyways." Blank gave a small salute. "Thanks pal." "No problem."
