STAFF ONLY

A black car parked in the parking lot of a restaurant. It was a normal rectangular building, though the top half was painted yellow and the bottom half painted red. Also a third of its walls were glass windows. There was a neon sign, though the beauty of the lights will not be seen by this time of the day, it read:

......UNCLE J RESTAURANT......

The engine of the car had been put off and the car door swung open and a dark skinned man came out wearing a blue T-shirt and a pair of black trousers. His hair was cut in the afro style and his goatee complemented his young looking face.

The man headed straight for the restaurant and passed through the already open glass double door.

In the restaurant, there were already customers inside. On one table was a family of five each digging into their burger and fries and cans of Coke. On another, there seemed to be a date going on that table and the last table was a woman with a laptop with fries beside her who seemed to be leeching off the free WiFi of the place.

The only person that wasn't eating was the young blonde girl at the counter. She wore a purple T-shirt with UNCLE J RESTAURANT printed on it with black leggings. She was very beautiful though she looked like she had not slept for ten days.

The intention of this dark skinned man wasn't to eat or catch fun in this place. Although, he didn't look like he worked there.

The man walked to the counter and open the small gate which was as tall as an average stool and ventured into the place. The man continued walking forward, he didn't even stop to exchange pleasantries with the girl at the counter. Infact, the girl acted as if she could not see him.

He met a wall with two doors. One read "KITCHEN" and the other read "STAFF ONLY". He brought out an iron key from his breast pocket and slid it into the lock of the "STAFF ONLY" door, unlocked it, swung the door open and entered the room.

The room was small and painted white while the floor was covered with gray tiles. The room contained everything needed for extracurricular work activities. It had a coat rack at one end, fire extinguishers and so on. But the centre of attraction in the room was a massive cupboard which its length ran from the roof to the floor.

Though the room was filled with these objects, he headed straight for a wall. He walked normally until he was at least half a metre away from the wall. The next step he took wasn't to move forward. His leg landed on the next tile but instead of the tile staying still, it went up and down like a button.

After a keypad seem to emerge from the wall Infront of him. He typed in a code but only a series of clicks could be heard.

The man turned around and saw the cupboard had slid open creating an entrance that led to a confinement that looked like an elevator.

He strode in and stood as the cupboard slid back closing him in. There weren't any buttons on this strange elevator. It began its journey downwards.

After two minutes, the elevator came to a stop and the door slid back open. Instead of seeing another room, it was a long corridor but there was an obstruction.

A fair man, he looked German stood in the way. He was wearing a black suit. The man spoke,

"Dean, you're finally here.", he paused, "We have been waiting."
