A day like any other at the call center (Epital) in the support department for technicians of the dark dimension. There is the self-proclaimed best support in the center, Ludovico Montoya, who talks to himself.
»Damn my life; after Manolo freed the souls of the technicians, there is an endless line. I don't understand how a superior being like me has to go thru these situations. Fortunately, I had sent several resumes to the available vacancies, but I haven't received any response, yet I know that promotion is going to come to me.
—Mr. Montoya how are you and your family? —said one of his colleagues.
—How is Mr. Wilbert? Slacking off as usual while we have a burning joint, on fire. —Ludovico Answered.
—It's just that line gives anxiety; we were free, sleeping with both hands on the wheel with few calls. —Wilbert replied.
—Mr. Montoya, are you listening to the music library I sent you via the Musicfy link? — Elian Interrupted.
—Yes, I have heard it. —Ludovico replied.
—You and your devil's metal. —Wilbert responded.
—Metal is not from the devil, it's for everyone, Mr. Wilbert. —Montoya replied.
—Amen, Mr. Montoya. —Elian responded.
—You two are a couple of filthy satanists. —Wilbert replied.
—Say whatever you want, Wilbert, but metal is the way to go. —Ludovico replied.
—Here come the supers! —Shouted one of the coworkers who watches the entrance door, as her position is at the entrance of the department. Wilber does parkour to land in his position, which is in front of Montoya's position.
—What's going on? It looks like a chicken coop in here. —the supervisor Exclaimed who entered the department.
—Nothing, my supervisor, it was just that we were asking for assistance. —Answered one of Montoya's colleagues.
—Don't tell me, everyone was asking for assistance. Ramon. —the supervisor answered.
—If you come back with your scandal, I will give you feedback, with a phase two warning to everyone. —I respond to the supervisor who makes everyone focus on their work.
«Well, back to work. » —Montoya Thought until he noticed an email that had arrived and added. —«Oh, an email and it's from Meredith Netherland! »
Ludovico reads the email carefully.
— I got promoted, let's celebrate today! —Ludovico shouted, followed by a cheer of joy as his colleagues lifted him up and tossed him in the air several times.
Ludovico tries to call Manolo, but he doesn't answer. After this, Ludovico, with the money he had, made an ice cream toast for his department for his promotion as an analyst of the dark dimension. The next day, Ludovico prepares for his new job.
He prepares to go to the dimension; when he sees a portal open in front of him, once he enters the place, he sees the number of monsters there.
«It's been a long time since I came to this mountain full of monsters; the last time I came here, Manolo and I almost lost our lives in this dark world.» —Ludovico thot as he sat on a seat that almost devoured him and shouted. —A mimic, damn it!
—Eternal good evening, you must be Mr. Ludovico Montoya, right? —Hope replied.
—Yes, I am. —Ludovico replied and thought. «A humanoid rabbit, how cute!»
—Come on, follow me, I'm going to train and escort you to your office. — Hope answered, who escorts him there.
Hope spends all her time training Ludovico when Meredith stops by to see them.
—Good evening, you must be Mr. Ludovico Montoya. My name is Meredith Netherland, human resources manager; I hope we can work together in peace and tranquility. He did not appear intimidated or fearful upon his arrival. —Meredith said, shaking Ludovico's hand.
—A mimic almost devoured me, but everything else is fine; Miss Hope is a great teacher. —Ludovico replied. This causes Miss Hope to blush.
—Don't worry about it, it's normal here, that's why I don't sit in the seats, especially since you are a human, but I will report that incident so it doesn't happen again. —Meredith Answered.
—Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. —Ludovico replied.
—You gave him the tour of the branch. —Meredith Answered.
—No, I was going to leave it for last since I need it urgently. —Hope replied.
—You should have started with that; let's guide him. —Meredith Answered, as they go to give him a tour of the entire branch. They go thru various departments introducing them to several workers; at one point, they pass by the supervisor of the technicians, Camilion Chameleon. Ludovico shakes his hand and introduces him; they ask about Malcolm, but they are told he is not there. Then they head to the warehouse manager, Sonya Moonwalker; they shake hands and introduce him to her, then they go to the workshop where Darius Eón is, who they introduce and shake hands with. Finally, they go back to Malcolm's office, but he hasn't returned until Manolo and Isidro arrive at that moment.
—What's going on here? —Manolo asked.
—Manolo, you scoundrel! — Ludovico shouted, who went to hug him.
—Minister! —Manolo shouted, who is going to hug him.
They hug each other.
—Long time no see, minister, welcome to modern slavery. —Manolo Said, shaking him.
—Don't remind me of that, Manolo. —Ludovico replied.
At that moment, Malcolm Moon arrives and sees them.
—You know each other. —Malcolm Answered.
—Yes, it's a very long story. —Manolo replied.
—Could you tell me about it in summary? —Malcolm Answered.
Ludovico begins to tell how they met:
» I met Manolo when he was a technician at Resita Lata in the center's calls; later, I met him in person when he came to take one of the courses the company offered to technicians, as the training center was located at the branch where he worked. Later, I had lunch with him; during lunch, we talked about pop culture and metal. Then there was a time when he invited me to his house for lunch while I was on my lunch break at work; I got along well with his wife and children, so we formed a strong friendship, because he asked.
— Interesting, I'm glad they're together again; I hope their friendship remains in this new phase of their lives. —Malcolm said.
—This is Mr. Malcolm Moon, our manager. —Manolo said he would introduce him, Ludovico shakes his hand and they exchange a handshake.
—Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ludovico. I hope to count on your contributions to the company. —Malcolm responded.
—Thank you very much, Mr. Malcolm, it will be an honor to work in this family called Rare Communications. —Ludovico replied as everyone applauded, then, after a while, returned to their positions. At lunchtime, Manolo and Isidro go to have lunch, Ludovico also goes to the dining room, while Hope continues working in her office.
—What's up, guys? —Ludovico asked, who was looking for his food and sat down with them.
—You sounded like that legendary internet meme. —Isidro replied, taking a bite of his food.
—That's really the intention, Isidro, and how is the work going? —Ludovico replied.
—We're doing well, Ludo, we've installed many orders, but the meter I have in my hand isn't going down. —Manolo Answered.
—In what sense is it not going down? They weren't a hundred orders. —Ludovico replied.
—Yes, there are a hundred orders, but Meredith told me that the orders we have in the queue are from Isidro; until Isidro's queue is finished, I can't work on the orders that are going to be assigned to me. —Manolo Answered.
—So, until they finish with Isidro's order queue, you won't work on your orders. That smells like foul play on Meredith's part. —Ludovico replied.
—And what can I do, I can't quit until I finish my orders, according to Meredith. —Manolo Answered.
—This smells like a very dirty game to me. —Ludovico Said.
—Yes, I know, but what can I do? I am a slave to the system; even if I wanted to, I can't afford the luxury of getting on their bad side; no one knows what they might do to me if I don't perform my duties as a technician. —Manolo Answered.
—Yeah, they can probably have you killed or something like that. —Isidro replied.
—Oh my God, what am I going to do? —Manolo Answered, who is getting stressed about it.
—Don't worry, Manolo, I'll see what I can do to speed up the process so you can visualize and place your orders, but give me time, I need to find the right contacts. —Ludovico replied.
— Thank you, Ludovico, that's why you are my best friend. —Manolo Answered, who is in tears.
In the distance, Meredith is watching them menacingly.
—What's wrong, Meredith? I see you with that killer look. —Malcolm said.
—Are you going to kill someone or what? —Camilion replied.
—No, not really, but maybe I will in the future. —Meredith Answered, savoring a piece of meat.
After that heated conversation, Manolo and Isidro go to the warehouse to load the vehicle with equipment to be installed.
—My love, how's work going? —Isidro asked affectionately and boldly.
—Fine, but don't tell me, my love, during work hours. —Sonya replied, not playing along.
—Alright, my love. —Isidro answered, still insisting.
—You are definitely stubborn, Isidro. —Sonya replied, who gets a little angry.
—Alright, lovebirds, let's go, the clients are waiting for us. —Manolo answered.
—Yes, Isidro, go now, you have work to do. —Sonya Said as she bids them farewell while they get into the vehicle and set off on their new adventure.
—Lately, that anti-project faction or Anti-Human Rebellion is making our lives hell with the orders. How do we stop those bastards? —Manolo answered.
—I don't know, all I know is that we have to do our job; nothing and no one will stop us from doing our job. —Isidro replied.
—That's how it's said... —Manolo answered, who then becomes thoughtful.
—What's up? I see you deep in thought, Manolo? Are you still thinking about what Ludovico said? —Isidro replied.
—Look, I don't know if what he says is true... —Isidro answered.
—It's true, Ludovico is right. —Manolo replied.
—How do you know if it's true? Do you have any proof to back it up? —Isidro answered.
—You tell me, who sold your soul to Meredith for power. —Manolo replied and added. —I'm sorry, but Ludovico knows when something is wrong or right; that's why I listen to him, and listening to him allows me to have confidence in knowing if something is right or wrong. Thanks to him, I owe many decisions I've made in my life.
—I understand then what we can do if what Ludovico says is true. —Isidro answered.
—Keep working as we always do until Ludovico finds a way to free me... I mean, free us, if you're interested, of course. —Manolo replied.
—Nah, don't worry, I don't need your freedom, I'll stay here, I've gotten used to it. —Isidro answered.
—If you say so, what order do we have to follow now? —Manolo replied.
—The order we are going to place now belongs to Elisabeth Prescott, a kind of soul manipulator. —Isidro Answered.
—It smells to me like we're going to have a rough time; it reminds me of the mandrake house when we faced those souls. —Manolo replied.
—But nothing, we have to install it. —Isidro Answered.
—Yes, unfortunately, we have to do it. That's why they pay us. —Manolo replied.
They head toward the client's location, which is a mansion that opens its doors by itself. They park in a visitor parking lot.
—Look at those cars the client has. —Manolo Said.
—But how old it looks, like from my great-great-grandfather's time. —Isidro replied, seeing that the vehicles are from the 1900s.
—Yes, great-great-great-grandfather. —Manolo Answered.
They go to the mansion door where they ring the bell that plays a terrifying tune with a scream included.
—Because none of the houses we go to are normal; they always have to be terrifying, sending chills down your spine. —Isidro said, who is scared shitless.
—What did I tell you? We should already be getting used to this. —Manolo asked.
—I'm still not used to it. — Isidro Answered.
—And you live in the dark dimension and you can't get used to it. —Manolo responded.
—When I lose my humanity, I'll get used to it; in the meantime, I'm scared to death. —Isidro Answered.
The butler, who is a stuffed man, opens the door for them.
—Welcome to this humble abode. Make yourselves at home until Miss Elisabeth receives you. —The butler Said.
They go to the waiting room where there is a sofa; Isidro examines the sofa carefully to see if it is a mimic.
—It's safe, Manolo. —Isidro said, so the two of them sit down and settle in, since the seat is not a mimic.
—Welcome to my humble abode, I am Elizabeth Prescott, soul manipulator, owner of this humble abode. —Elizabeth Prescott Said, who is a kind of lolita with long dark purple hair and eyes with a ghost symbol in her pupils.
—She's a loli, the ONU is going to come down on us, man. —Manolo whispered in Isidro's ear, feeling threatened.
—Don't worry, it's legal, although I'm not a big fan of short women. —Isidro whispered in Manolo's ear.
—A pleasure to meet you, Miss Prescott. Now then, can you tell us where the communication records are so we can start the installation of your triple service? —Manolo Answered.
—One moment, gentlemen. —Elizabeth replied, stopping them there with a hand signal and added. — I have seen your feats on the news, social media, and entertainment channels, so I, Elizabeth Prescott, also want to witness them.
«Damn it, what the hell does this crazy woman want now?» —Manolo thought and added in a normal voice. —What do you want us to do, your malice?
—I want you to face my stuffed animals in a wrestling match; if you manage to beat them, I'll let you do the installation; if not, not only will I cancel the installation, but you'll also get a bad recommendation from me for your future clients. —Elizabeth replied.
—That's blackmail. —Manolo Answered.
—Please, do it for me, I'm your biggest fan. —Elizabeth said begging them, giving them a tender look.
—My little heart. —Manolo replied he would have a heart attack seeing so much tenderness.
—Manolo! Manolo! Manolooo! —Isidro shouted, who is performing CPR to bring him back to life.
—Don't tell me you kissed me or something. —Manolo Answered, who comes back to life.
—And if I did, we have to revive you, although I'm surprised you were defeated by a lolita. —Isidro replied.
—I was not defeated because, first of all, it wasn't a fight; it was just so much sweetness that it made my heart stop. —Manolo Answered and whispered in his ear. —If it had been a fight, I would have delivered a Shawn Michaels-style superkick.
—You are a monster. —Isidro whispered.
—Thank you, Isidro. —Manolo whispered.
— Are you Alright, Mr. Manolo? —Elizabeth asked.
—Yes, I'm fine, Miss Prescott. —Manolo Answered, who sat up.
—So, are you going to accept my challenge or not? —Elizabeth asked.
—Alright, we're going to do it, there's no other way. —Manolo Answered.
—How wonderful, gentlemen, then come to my humble ring. —Elizabeth replied, showing them the way thru the mansion until they reach an underground wrestling arena where many enchanted stuffed animals scream for blood and violence.
—Oh, but the wrestling was true. —Manolo Answered, who is impressed by the place.
—Look at those troglodytes, what we're going to face, they look like the ones from wrestling. —Isidro replied.
—They're stuffed animals; I imagine they have to be very light. Imagine you are a child playing wrestling with your stuffed animals. —Manolo Answered.
—Well, if you say so. —Isidro replied.
—Hopefully, they won't broadcast it on television or social media. —Manolo Answered.
The event host begins to narrate the event:
»Welcome to the Teddy Wrestling Federation, TWF; I am your host, Eiko Miura." This broadcast is aired on channel 6 Violent Vibes, channel 666 Demon Channel, channel 363 Carnage TV, and on our Sharp Tube channel live, exclusively for members, of course.
—Damn it, they could be more discreet because everyone has to see it; whoever brought me is taking me! —Manolo said, who is angry.
—Take it easy, Manolo, don't get like that; well, half the world is watching us, but don't worry, we're going to put on a good show. —Isidro replied, who is confident, so he starts striking wrestler poses like Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton. Manolo follows him, left astonished by his poses.
»Here we have the technicians of the dark dimension, Isidro and Manolo, the modern inquisitor.
The spectators boo the technicians, but some shout with excitement. They go to their respective corners.
»Here comes our entire roster.
Thirty wrestlers entered the ring and took their positions in their respective corners. The bell rings. A stuffed animal puts Isidro in a neck hold until it makes him fall to the floor, but the audience's applause lifts him up, so he performs a German suplex with an Olympic bridge. At that moment, the referee starts the count to three, but only reaches one. Isidro lands several punches on the stuffed toy until he pushes it toward the other corner to deliver a knee strike like CM Punk's to turn it into a bulldozer, then he counts to three, but it only reaches one.
Isidro lifts the stuffed toy, but tackles it, lifting it toward the corner to tackle it several times; he puts it in a headlock to tag one of his teammates to continue the punishment until the entire roster inflicts pain on Isidro until he gets tired of it, so he performs a Samoan drop to get the stuffed toy off him, after which both tag their respective teammates.
Manolo enters the ring giving some advice; he is an unstoppable machine of delivering blows. He connects several lariats to a stuffed animal until he gains momentum from the ropes to apply a devastating lariat that makes it spin in the air before falling to the floor. A stuffed animal tags in its partner, but performs a Blue Thunder Bomb, making the count, but it doesn't reach three. Manolo lifts him up to perform a Brain Buster to make the three-count, the referee counts and reaches three, eliminating the first opponent. When the other one enters, he applies a Stunner to eliminate the second opponent.
Isidro asks for the tag to enter and perform a jumping cutter (RKO) that covers him, causing the referee to count to three and be the third eliminated. Isidro distributes jumping cutters to everyone, eliminating about ten with the help of Manolo, who also delivers some stunners until they form a combined team against some of the opponents, executing a kind of combination of a belly to back suplex and a jumping cutter; then they perform the Last Chapter by Author of Pain, resulting in another elimination. The whole fight goes to waste, making all the opponents climb into the ring to kick Manolo and Isidro's butts, but Manolo grabs Isidro to do the Cesaro Swing to counterattack all the opponents who got into the ring. After everyone is dispersed, they shower them with a flurry of Jumping cutters and Stunners until one of the opponents launches himself with a shooting star press, but Isidro catches him with a jumping cutter and Manolo jumps from the top rope to land on several opponents.
From all that chaos, everyone lies defeated on the floor, including Manolo and Isidro. Ending the meeting.
— That was incredible, this is wrestling, not... sports entertainment! —Elizabeth shouted as she saw the mess they made and made an ahegao face.
—We can start the installation now, Miss Prescott. —Manolo Answered, who was out of breath.
—Of course, Mr. Manolo. —Elisabeth replied.
—Isidro, we have work to do. —Manolo Answered, as he got up.
—Five more minutes, everything hurts. —Isidro replied.
—Let's get to work, damn it. —Manolo Answered, dragging him along.
After that, they install the service as usual, until they finish their work. They instruct Miss Prescott on how the service works.
—Goodbye, guys, I'm going to request more services so I can see you again. —Elizabeth said, who is saying goodbye to them.
—Yes, we will gladly return, Mrs. Prescott. —Manolo Responded as they got into the vehicle and left the place, and added. —His aunt in a thong is going to come back.
—Likewise, if it seems like an order from her again, I will tell Camilion to pass it on to someone else. —Isidro Answered.
—Can you imagine that the damned one throws a tantrum so that we come back? —Manolo asked.
—Count on it, although I must admit, it was very fun. —Isidro Answered.
—Yes, it was very fun, if I'm being honest with everything... I think I like this job. —Manolo replied.
—Really?! You? I don't recommend getting too attached to this job, I'd rather work in an office than do that. —Isidro Answered.
—Yes, that has been my dream, but unfortunately, I became a father before my time and that's why I couldn't study properly. You are very young, even tho you have more experience than I do in this world. —Manolo replied.
—Yes, I know, I've taken some online courses and the opportunity isn't coming my way. —Isidro Answered.
—She'll arrive; you have Sofia, talk to her so she can make space for you in her apartment. —Manolo replied.
—I told him several times, but nothing. They won't let us be promoted because of our bad reputation. —Isidro Answered.
—We need to change that, let's see what Ludovico can do for us to see if there's a way out of this. —Manolo replied.
—You trust him a lot. —Isidro responded.
—Of course, he has earned it. —Manolo Answered as they moved on to their next order.
After this, in a bar in the dark dimension, the princesses of perdition are soothing their sorrows with drinks.
—Damn technicians, they will pay for this humiliation. —Riley Ántrax Said.
—Yes, you're right, Riley; this humiliation will not be in vain. — Beatrix replied, but Lumia remains thoughtful."
—What's wrong, Lumi, my friend? You seem so pensive. —Cassie responded, rubbing her back.
—I think I'm in love. —Lumia answered.
—Oh, damn, again, it's the third human you've fallen in love with. —Riley replied.
—But he defeated me; he needs to take responsibility. —Lumia answered.
—But what responsibility, what nothing, they are our enemies; if you join them, you will have to fight against us. —Beatrix replied.
—Then so be it! —Lumia shouted, determined to betray them.
—Oh no, not again. —Beatrix Responded.
—Girls, calm down, we need to understand Lumia's feelings. —Cassie Answered.
—Well, well, if it isn't the little princesses of defeat. —The tiger man replied wearing a pilot's suit.
—Yes, yes, Curtis, the little princesses of perdition, but of his own. —The companion of the tiger man Answered, who is also one.
—Shut up, Duncan, this doesn't concern them; how much do you want to bet? —Beatrix replied, urging them to bet.
—I also want to contribute. —Answered a zombie dressed as a runner.
—You too, Mark. —Beatrix Responded and added. —I bet a hundred thousand dragmarks that you won't bring me their heads.
—Deal done. —Curtis Answered as they shook hands to seal the deal the same as Mark.
After working on several orders, they return to the branch and split up. Isidro goes to Sonya's office, but she is not there.
«I already know where she is.» Isidro thot she was going to a place in the warehouse on the outskirts where she was drinking energy drinks and eating vanilla ice cream coated in chocolate, with her coat, shirt, and bra slightly unbuttoned at the front, but covering her breasts transformed into a she-wolf.
—I hope you don't have a heart attack from drinking so many of those drinks. —Isidro said when he saw her.
—I doubt very much that something like this will kill me, I've survived worse things, and you darling, how are you? —Sonya replied.
—I didn't mean it in a bad way, darling. —Isidro responded, kissing her on the lips so that she would then take a bench, sit down, have an energy drink, and an ice cream from the cooler.
—And how has work been for you, darling? Tell me about your life. —Sonya Answered.
—Well, it's not so bad thanks to Manolo, although we have to provide good service while dealing with the fame we have. It hasn't gone so badly for me. —Isidro responded.
—I like that, it broke my heart to see you mentally destroyed all the time; Cleo needed you. —Sonya replied.
—Yes, I know, sorry for saying it to your face, but thank God Manolo showed up; he's like a ray of light on the path, I feel like I can make progress and I hardly use magic, so I'm not going to lose my humanity... for now. —Isidro Answered.
—Even if you lose it, I will keep loving you, Isidro, don't forget that. —Sonya responded, as she took him by the chin and kissed him.
While the lovebirds talk, Manolo eats his dinner, which is green plantain mash with salami, egg, and fried cheese.
—Well, well, well, look who we have here, it's Manolo Restituyo. —Said a burly dark-haired man with green eyes and bad hair, but he doesn't recognize him, so he added, showing him the stuffed animal that Rolkenis was possessed by. —It's me, Rolkenis.
—Ah! But it's you, Rolkenis, they gave you your body back; you look very fit. —Manolo Answered, who hugs him as if he were a brother, and added. — Sit down, it's great that they returned your body.
—Yes, I know, I'm leaving better than ever and Isidro is around here. —Rolkenis replied.
—He must be with his waifu. —Manolo Answered, taking a bite of his food and adding with his mouth full. —Aren't you going to eat something?
—No, I already ate, I just wanted to see you and let you know I'm okay. —Rolkenis replied.
—That's great, we're here to serve you. Do you want to talk about something? I'm an otaku geek, so we can talk about whatever you want. —Manolo responded.
—Well, there's something I want to talk to you about. —Rolkenis replied, leaning close to his ear and whispering. —You are the modern inquisitor.
—Well, that's what some people call me. —Manolo responded without hesitation.
—Keep your eyes open, you can't trust anyone; some geralcas are angry with the use of violence and other new procedures that disrupt the natural order of things. —Rolkenis replied.
—Well, let them go to hell, they're not going to make me work here in this mountain and snake-infested place. Let whoever needs to come, come, because Manolo Restituyo is the boss. —Manolo Answered.
—I like that way of thinking of yours, but people like you don't last long. —Rolkenis replied.
—I don't care because I have God on my side, and I know things will go well for me, so you can tell my detractors to watch out, because Manolo Restituyo is unstoppable. —Manolo responded.
—Well, I'm glad you're on fire; I watch little anime, so we can talk about it. —Rolkenis replied.
They keep talking about anime until Rolkenis's clock chimes.
—Well, let's get to work, it's time to start our task. —Rolkenis Said.
—Anything, just write to me. —Manolo Answered.
—Remember that because of the Fractcall, we can't talk casually, I don't know if you understand me. —Rolkenis replied.
—To me, it doesn't matter; you can call me anything. —Manolo Answered.
—Alright, Manolo, it was an honor to speak with you. —Rolkenis replied as he left the cafeteria, but before stepping out, he thought: «Better for my own safety, I won't mess with that guy, I need to talk to Hiro about it.»
Manolo finishes his dinner, but Meredith arrives and sits at his table.
—Hey, Manolo, what's the rush? Sit down, I brought you dinner. —Meredith Said, who opens a portal and takes out a large lunchbox from there.
—If it's not fast food, I don't want it. —Manolo Answered, who is very reluctant to eat his food.
—Open it and you'll see. —Meredith replied.
Upon opening it, she sees a box of chicken nuggets with a small container of BBQ sauce, another container of French fries with cheese sauce, with pieces of bacon, as well as another container filled with four pieces of pizza, another container of a chicken, cheese, corn, and ham wrap with a small container of garlic sauce, and a thermos full of red soda.
—It's heaven! — Manolo shouted, who began to devour what was in the lunchbox.
—I'm glad you like it, I just wanted to inform you that I'm going to supervise one of your facilities to see how you work, you don't mind, do you? —Meredith said.
—Do whatever you want; I don't care. —Manolo Answered, who is savoring his food.
—Isidro reporting in, what's new? —Isidro replied as he sat down in front of them, placed his tray full of food, and started eating, adding when he noticed his food. —Hey, Manolo, this food looks appetizing; can I have a bit?
Manolo looks at him, takes out his wallet, gives him two thousand Dominican pesos, and continues eating.
—I don't want to buy it, just give it to me a little bit. —Isidro Said.
—Well, you're out of luck because this is so good that I won't give it to anyone. —Manolo Answered, who takes his two thousand pesos and puts them in his wallet.
—Damn, what a cheapskate. —Isidro replied.
—Amen. —Manolo responded.
—You prepared that for him, Meredith; I've been here longer than he has and you've never prepared something like that for me. —Isidro replied.
—That's none of your business, Isidro, I prepare it for whoever I want. By the way, I'm going to supervise them to see how they do their job. —Meredith responded.
—But that's not what Camilion and Malcolm are in charge of. —Isidro replied.
—Yes, but I also have a say, so when do we leave? —Meredith asked.
—In a few minutes, we're leaving. —Isidro replied.
—Ah! What gluttony. —Manolo said.
—I hope it hurts you. —Isidro replied.
—You can say whatever you want, but that won't take away how satisfied I am. —Manolo responded while resting his head on the table, so I asked. —How much time do we have left?
—Fifteen minutes. —Isidro Answered.
—Well, it will be enough to rest. I'm going to set a timer on the Fractcall so that when that time is up, either the timer goes off or the clock wakes me up. —Manolo replied.
—The clock really wakes you up, but you can set the timer if you want. —Isidro responded.
Manolo sets the timer just in case, so he lies down to sleep for fifteen minutes; Isidro finishes his dinner and Meredith admires him fervently. The alarm rings both on the clock and on the Fractcall.
—Let's get to the point. —Manolo Said as he stood up abruptly.
—How nice, I'm very excited. —Meredith Answered.
They go to the workshop where Darius is servicing the vehicles, and theirs is ready to hit the road. Darius takes it out of the workshop to then give them the keys and then go to the warehouse to restock materials.
—And what are you doing, Meredith? —Sonya asked, who sees Meredith with them.
—I'm just going to supervise them. —Meredith replied.
—No, that's done by Camilion and Malcolm. —Sonya Answered.
—That's exactly what I told her, but if she wants to go, let her go. —Isidro replied.
—Well, I wash my hands of all blame. —Sonya Responded as they refueled the vehicle.
Once they refuel it, Manolo gets into the vehicle, but Meredith sits on top of him.
—Miss Meredith, I am a married man; please sit in the back or next to Isidro. —Manolo Said.
—How boring, I'll sit in the back seats, alone, like a mere spectator. —Meredith Answered.
—Yes, stay there and don't bother. What am I paying for? —Manolo replied, starting the vehicle and leaving the branch.
—And what do you do to pass the time on the road? —Meredith asked.
—Listening to music from my metal repertoire, and Isidro puts on his headphones to listen to dembow and urban music. —Manolo replied.
—And they don't face some threats on the street, like, for example, monsters, henchmen of the anti-human rebellion, or anti-project faction, whatever you want to call it. —Meredith Answered.
—That happens, but not very often. —Manolo replied.
—Yes, don't think our life is exciting or anything; we spend kilometers seeing mountains and snakes. —Isidro responded.
—That sounds very boring. —Meredith Said and thought: «So there won't be any action on my watch, because if these two think that, they are completely mistaken. »
Meredith summons some demons to chase them.
—Manolo, are you seeing what I'm seeing? —Isidro Said.
—Yes, I see it too. — Manolo answered while snapping his fingers and added. —It's time for action!
—Yes, I'll see them working! —Meredith shouted excitedly.
Manolo activates the vehicle's weapons, makes a 180-degree turn to shoot at the demons, riddling them with bullets without mercy.
—Wow, how violent it is! —Meredith shouted.
—Ready, now back to the calm... —Manolo Said, but a horde of demons appears, approaching them with armed vehicles and demons riding animals like dragons, cerberuses, etc. And Shouted —But damn it!
— Your godmother in a thong is going to face those demons! —Isidro shouted.
—Well, they're in our way, so let's get rid of them. —Manolo Answered.
—Yes, what can be done? —Isidro asked.
—This thing is on fire, damn it! —Manolo shouted.
With several car-fu maneuvers and shooting mercilessly at the most pinky horde that was summoned, jumping from vehicle to vehicle, destroying them with his chainsaw, and Isidro shooting at the aerial vehicles with the turret on the roof.
—I love my damn life, this is beautiful! —Meredith shouted, laughing maniacally as she enjoyed the massacre.
Once they finish off the entire horde, they stop for a moment to catch their breath. They call the client to take their information and address to then arrive at a normal house; they get out of the vehicle and a ghost suddenly appears to them. This scares Isidro, causing him to jump toward Meredith, who carries him.
—Welcome to my humble home, you are the technicians who have come to install my internet service. My name is Hogart Hunter. A pleasure to meet you. —Hogart Said as Isidro got off Meredith.
—Nice to meet you, Mr. Hogart; I almost shit myself from the scare, but we're used to it. —Isidro Answered.
—I don't care, let's go in, we have work to do. —Manolo replied, ordering Isidro to take out the materials.
—One question, who are you? —Hogart asked, seeing Meredith.
—I'm just here to supervise; you can ignore me if you want. —Meredith Answered.
—Oh, I understand. —Hogart answered.
They check the house and proceed to install the internet, but they are missing some cable.
—Houston, we have a problem. —Isidro said.
—What happened, Isidro? —Manolo asked.
—We've run out of cable. —Isidro answered.
—Don't tell me you forgot to put the internet cable in the vehicle! Damn it, Isidro, what a blunder, what will the client think! —Manolo shouted in anger.
—Sorry, Manolo, I forgot. —Isidro Answered, who kneels like a Japanese person asking for forgiveness.
—I'm going to have to get a cable from the branch; luckily, it's close to here. —Manolo responded, who starts the vehicle's engine.
—Can I go with you? —Meredith asked.
—Yes, it's fine. —Manolo Answered.
Manolo and Meredith ride their motorcycle down the road.
—How romantic, don't you think? It's like those movies where the hero goes with his girl down the road at sunset. —Meredith Said.
—Damn it, fuck! My wife is going to kill me. —Manolo Thought as he saw the ghost of his wife brushing a samurai flip-flop against his face.
—I know a shortcut, I'll guide you. —Meredith Said as she guides him thru a shortcut where they are cutting thru the forest, where several ents throw explosive fruits at them and treants charge at them.
—Hold on, this is going to be a bumpy ride! —Manolo shouted as he dodged his way out of the forest.
On a mountain near them. There are some vampires that belong to the Violentors.
—Look, Hush, it's the modern inquisitor. —A vampire Said who spots them with his binoculars.
—Perfect, we will avenge our brothers and give Blackend peace of mind by avenging our fallen comrades at the hands of that being. —Hush replied as he put on his helmet and the others did the same, so he added. —Come on, violentors, we're going to stain the highway with blood!
—Look, some motorcyclists are coming down there! —Meredith shouted, seeing them coming down.
—Apparently, they are not ordinary civilians... —Manolo Said as they approached, so he sped up.
—I recognized them, they're violentors! —Meredith shouted, who saw the group's symbol.
—What was missing, well, let them all come. Damn! —Manolo shouted.
As they stand next to them, they start to fight. Manolo lets one get ahead to hit the rear wheel so they fall and he jumps on top of them. Two motorcyclists approach from the sides, so he performs a double-kick jump toward them, taking them out of the game; then he draws his swords and fights simultaneously with four motorized vampires until he makes several cuts in their engines, taking them out of combat. The motorized vehicles carrying vampires with firearms are repelled by Meredith with a magical shield, so they resort to using anti-magic bullets while she activates an energy shield from her bracelet that deflects those bullets back at them, knocking them down in the process. They keep fighting until they manage to defeat them all. Upon arriving at the branch, Manolo wants to go to the storage room, but she climbs onto his back and guides him to the women's restroom, where she undresses in front of him, but he covers his eyes and covers his intimate parts with his fingers.
—Let me out of here, you pervert! —Manolo shouted.
—I'm going to make a man out of you, Manolo! —Meredith shouted, who transforms into her demon form but is still sexy, so he keeps covering his eyes to avoid seeing her naked. They fight until security arrives, but it's not enough to defeat her, so at one point she grabs several towels to cover herself and then knocks her out with a punch to the chin.
—Honey, it wasn't my fault, it's just that that succubus wouldn't stop bothering me. Forgive me, please. —Manolo Said, kneeling before the ghost of his wife who begged him for mercy; however, she gave him the mental beating of his life, so he was taken to the infirmary.
After a while, Isidro is informed by his supervisor, so he goes to see him.
—Manolo, my brother, what did they do to you?! —Isidro shouted, who clings to his hands.
—I remained faithful. —Manolo Said weakly.
—Yes, unfortunately. — Meredith responded disappointedly.
—Fortunately, it didn't escalate, but, Miss Meredith, don't let it happen again, especially with my best employe. —Camilion Answered.
—Yes, Miss Meredith, please grow up. —Malcolm Answered.
—Go to hell, I'll do whatever I want. —Meredith Responded as she left the infirmary, not without leaving a wicked smile for what she thought: "You will be mine sooner or later, Manolo Restituyo.
—Isidro. —Manolo Said weakly.
—Yes, Manolo, I'm listening. —Isidro Answered.
—You finished the work. —Manolo replied.
—Yes, I did, I have to tell you something, promise me you won't get angry. —Isidro Answered.
—Tell me, I'll forgive you if it was something serious. —Manolo replied.
—Meredith blackmailed me, and I hid the cables so you would go get them with her. —Isidro Answered.
—I feared as much. —Manolo Responded, who stood up as if nothing had happened and thought: «Damn demon's whore, I'm sure all the trouble she put me thru was her fault, when I quit, I'll give her a beating she'll never forget.»
—Let's go, Isidro, we have work to do. —Manolo Said.
—Are you sure, Mr. Manolo? You are not in a condition to move; rest a bit. —Cleo replied.
—No, they don't pay me to slack off. —Manolo replied epicly.
—Manolo! —they replied as he walked in slow motion toward the warehouse to restock, and Isidro helped him so they could then go together to their next order.
Some time passed and Meredith is in her office.
—Finally, I have Ludovico Montoya in my possession; now I will investigate you like a dog and you will show me your true form. —Meredith Said while looking up information about him on her computer.
