Pixels And Pistols (HBC) ∆1. An Ordinary Day

Chapter 1: An Ordinary Day

On an ordinary morning, the sun has risen, the birds are chirping, and everyone's already started their schedules

Quite Unfortunately, one person is sound asleep, unaware of the things he's about to encounter today

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*has been snoozing his alarm clock for god knows how many times*

The persistent alarm clock keeps ringing, until Alpha finally wakes up from his slumber.

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

God damnn---- Let me sleep in peace!!!!! *yeets his clock across the room*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*looks at the clock that he just threw away, and realization dawns upon him*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Sh!t!!!! I'm late, I'm late, oh I'm so, so dead!!!!!

Alpha scampers off his bed, rushes to get ready, comes out, dresses up at the speed of light, picks up his bag and jets out of his house

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Rushing past the crowd, bumping into a couple of people to get on the subway train, he runs and runs. The minute the doors open, he runs once more and aims to reach his office

Child

Mommy, Mommy, who's that??? Did black haired Naruto come to our world??? Do ninjas exist???

Mother

*Looks at Alpha sprinting* Haha No dear. That's just a bad boy who's late to work. See? He's bumping into people and running ahead

Child

*confused* So do bad boys who are late become ninjas? (⁠?⁠・⁠・⁠)⁠σ

Mother

*facepalms* No dear, he was just well..... *thinks* (Who was that guy!? ತ⁠_⁠ʖ⁠ತ Now my boy thinks being late makes us a ninja. No no, I can't let him get influenced by such people)

Meanwhile, Alpha bumps into another random person, falls to the ground, gets back on his feet and apologizes and runs once more

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

I'm so, so sorry, I didn't mean to----- Excuse me-- I need to hurry!!!! *runs*

Mother

See? Bad people who are late fall down like that. Promise to mommy you'll never be late?

Child

O… Okey... Promise (*internal thoughts: Hah no way, I need to become a ninja too, I'll definitely try that one day (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)*)

Alpha finally reaches his office, huffing and panting, gets into the lift, straightens his clothes and gets ready to enter the conference hall

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*Huff* *thinks* *Calm down, you can do this. This is an important meeting, don't mess this up, you got this*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*takes in a deep breath* *smiles gently and pushes the door*

People sitting in the conference round table turn around to see Alpha standing at the door. Their faces turn into severe frowns seeing a late person entering.

Head <Mr. Walker>

Well, well, if it isn't the greatest hacker of all time? *sarcastic* You really did us a favor by coming to the meeting 1 ½ hour late, didn't you?

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*scratches head* well, I do apologize for the delay sir. I got held up on the way. We can start the meeting straight away

Official

Straight away? *scoffs* You really have no respect, making us wait for so long and acting like it's alright

All the men were giving Alpha looks of disapproval at his unprofessional behavior. Alpha, a man with a short temper, tries to keep himself calm and says

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Well sir, I've already apologized. I can do nothing else to make up for the lost time. The best way to tackle the situation is by starting straight away so that we don't waste any more time

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

If you expect me to bow down and beg for mercy, sorry for disappointing you, but this is the 21st Century and not a monarch's kingdom.

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

The fact that I'm the country's best hacker still remains solid. You can't replace me, so let's get this started shall we?

All the board members grumbled but couldn't really disagree as Alpha was an invaluable resource after all. They proceed with the meeting
