Chapter 7 " Trouble and more trouble"
"SO … " the old man said " Your partner decided to play hooky in the middle of the day …"
"No sir, he just had a family emergency ….." Said jounouchi
"You should stop covering for him young lad .." the old man said in a low voice that could only mean he is getting angrier, " this will not help you or him."
" I am really not covering for him sir," Jounouchi tried to explain " He really had an emergency and left …"
The guy stared at Jounouchi for a while narrowing his already small eyes enough to make him look like he is trying to see through Jounouchi's soul.
" Ok, let's say I believe you lad…" the guy said " you will have to clean the mess your partner caused by his sudden disappearance …"
Jounouchi blinked.
" Look over there, " the supervisor said, " you need to move all the boxed next to door 3 to door 2, since your partner is not here, you will have to move all the breakable stuff on your own manually and I need all that done today, UNDERSTOOD!"
Jounouchi felt himself sigh, but still he answered back " Understood!"
…..
It took more than 4 hours to move less than half the boxes from one gate to another. The way Jounouchi was seeing it , it seemed like he will not be able to finish everything by night unless he stays at it for the whole night. He was gradually feeling worse as he felt sweet develop on his forehead and more his mind was starting to black out whenever he moves too fast or carries the box for too long. He wanted to work a bit faster but it didn't seem like his body was obeying his mind.
" Damnit Kaiba, at least come back after you sort out your problem!" He said complaining to the air in the storage room.
