So I finally got to work (yippee)

  And I was greeted by my surprisingly loud boss

  He was like

  MCCOYYYY!!!

  I was let out the most exhausted sigh I've ever sighed that day

  And I haven't even started working yet

  Anyways I walked up to him

  In my apron and hat

  Expecting a lecture or a “do it again or you're fired bullshit”

  But surprising

  He didn't mention any of that

  Kid, I'm impressed by your work ethic so far, he said placing his sweaty palms on my shoulders

  Keep it up and you'll be replacing Jeff, as the Manager soon

  Alright boss, I respond still in disbelief.

  A promotion?

  Hell nah, I already hate this place

  Getting a promotion is just gonna make me more annoyed and overworked

  Though it would keep my identity intact

  But still a big HELL NO

  I was then greeted by Jeffrey or Jeff for short

  Who actually told me that someone covered up for me while I was away

  I asked who and he told to guess genius

  Well it's definitely not you, I said folding my arms, you hate this place more than I do

  It can't be Greg

  We don't even talk to each other

  I was out of guesses,

  so I asked him again

  Then…

  I felt a someone bumped into me accidentally

  It was Sky

  The new assistant bartender

  And my new co-worker too

  Sorry, I mistakenly dropped my glasses again. She said while searching the ground for them

  I helped her searched, saw them and gave it to her

  I think this is your's, I said handing her the glasses

  Oh thank you soo much, she said while putting them on.

  But when she put them on she quickly froze when she saw me

  Ch-Chase? She said while turning her face

  Yeah? I said, still confused

  Sorry, I thought you were someone else, she said rubbing her head, anyways, I gonna go, BYE

  She ran off before I could say anything

  What was that all about? I asked Jeff

  I don't know but she was the one that cover your ass yesterday after you left, he replied walking away

  Wait, why? I asked raising an eyebrow

  Beats me, maybe she likes you or something. He replied walking out the stuff room door

  Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  Yeah right, a girl liking me…

  The only girl that actually does is Jasmine

  So why would she help me during my shift anyways?

  Oh well

  Best let it go

  Can't depend on her helping me all the time, am I right?

  So I went about my day

  Serving drinks to the drunks

  And serving coffee to the sober

  Then during my break,

  I was in the back,

  resting my back,

  Legs crossed on the table

  reading my Captain space comic in peace

  Before I was rudely interrupted by a knock at the door

  It's open, I said still reading my comic

  The door opened and it was Sky

  Oh, Hi Chase, she said smiling and waving at me

  Hellooo, I respond no caring, eyes still on the comic while waving at her

  Whatcha doin? she asked, still giving an awkward smile

  Is that a serious question? I replied bringing the comic down a bit

  No I guess not, she said with an embarrassed tone

  (Sigh)

  Am reading a Captain Space comic, I said eyes still on the panels, I saw them In my little sister’s room

  So I grabbed a couple to read while at work

  Captain Space? I love Captain Space, she said smiling again

  You're kidding, I replied kinda amused

  Am not, I actually have the whole collection of comics at home, she said a bit excited

  THERE'S MORE? I asked surprised

  Of course, I even have the special edition with Madam Phoenix, She said excitedly

  *sigh* I just love Madam Phenoix, she's so brave and confident. I always wanted to be just like her. She said sitting next to me

  In this economic, I think you would just be another problem to the fire department, I said eyes still on the comic

  Then She…

  laughed?

  Wait, she actually laughed at one of my jokes?

  Hardly anyone does

  Well expect for Jaja

  You laughed…I said dully

  Yeah because that was funny, she replied chuckling a bit

  That really caught me off guard

  Then…

  Hey Chase & Sky, Jeff jumped in, as he peeks through the door

  Break time is over

  get your asses out there

  So soon?

  I didn't even finish chapter 19 yet, I said closing up the comic

  Bummer, she said folding her arms

  I guess we'll continue our conversation another time, if that's fine with you

  Just as long is not work related am down, I said walking out with my comic, then no problem

  After awhile someone turned on the TV and the news were on

  And man when I tell you that my urge to grab a kitchen knife and throw it at the TV

  just Intensified

  Anyways

  They were talking about The Killer Noir again (As always)

  saying…

  “The Infamous pithill murderer known as The Killer Noir has struck again…”

  In my head I was already thinking maybe it was the Crowbar guy that I shot or an old murder that happened but

  …it was something else

  “The killer has now murdered popular and beloved influencer, Mark Danielson…”

  …Wait what?

  Half of the bar were in disbelief

  Some shock and others well not really surprised

  Okay this was strange

  Yeah sure I've "murdered" a couple of people before but this?

  An influencer?

  Nah this wasn't my doing

  I'm-

  I mean…

  The Killer Noir is being framed here

  But why?

  Something was up…

  That Killer Noir guy, Sky said angryly, I hate him so much,

  she continued

  He thinks killing people is cool or something

  And it makes me sick

  I get what she means

  Taking a life isn't something everyone should cheer for

  But because of The Killer Noir's fame

  Everyone does

  That's the reality of our world

  People would still admire you

  Even if you're a bad influence

  Yeah, I dislike him too, I said with a low tone

  But maybe he has a motivate for doing this

  You know

  I guess, but he needs to be stopped

  One way or the other, she said with so much determination in her voice.

  Oh look at me, disturbing you with This Killer Noir nonsense, she said with a smile, let's talk about something else

  Yeah…sure

  Am not sure on who did this hit on the chief but, am betting Eddie was apart of it

  But why go after the chief?

  He could've set a hit on the Minster and that would've made me look 100x worse

  Hell

  They would've set a bounty on my head if possible

  I don't know what Ed is planning but,

  Whatever it is

  …I'll be ready

  Hours passed…

  and It was the end of my shift

  I told Jasmine to wait for me at her friends place again until I got something from the store

  I was riding down the road when I saw a huge billboard that caught my attention surprisingly

  It was of the lady I tried to save earlier

  Posing for a face care commercial

  “Kristen Baker”

  Turns out she was a model

  Who would've thought

  No wonder people had cameras on her when her boyfriend tried to abuse her

  This is why I hate being at the spotlight

  Everyone is always watching you

  It gives me the creeps

  I waited a little longer to see another advert

  It was a promotion for a movie

  Can't remember the name

  But I saw…him

  That asshole from the gas station

  Aka that Kris Baker's boyfriend

  I don't what it was but, I just hated seeing his face

  AND I'VE ONLY SEEN HIM TODAY

  Same goes for his Manager

  Who the fuck does he think he is?

  Paul Heyman?

  (Sigh)

  I know she said I should let it go

  But…

  Am coming to this movie premiere

  That lady needs my help

  Rather she likes it or not

  I am saving her this time.

  Too bad it's not a Captain Space Movie

  Now those are the tickets I would die for

  How do you think the movie will go down
