The High Earner Subordinates

Bonapriso Douala, Cameroon. Monday October 2012, a beautiful sun rise brightens the morning in the economic capital, 6 am, Isabelle and Olivia rushed to Ruth’s room so as to wake her up.

Olivia: “Ru…Hey Ru get up you’ll be late for your job! Ru!!! (Shaking her)

Ruth: “Hmmm…Please just few minutes…I need to sleep…” (Holding her pillow firmly)

Isabelle: “Oh gosh…I’m sure that this fake princess has watch lots of movies yesterday, well then…I got no other choice than option two” (Going out of the room)

Busy holding her bear doll, Olivia had no option than to watch her senior sister sleeping in a shy manner. A few minutes later, Ruth opened her eyes.

Olivia: “Ru…?”

Ruth: “Hey…Oli…good morning sweetie”

Olivia: “Uhm…I’m sorry…” (Hiding behind her doll)

In a sudden Ruth was being poured water by Isabelle with a medium bucket.

Isabelle: “Are you awake like this now?!!!”

Ruth:”AAAAAAAAAAH!!!! IT’S COOOLD!!! ISABELLE!!

Isabelle: “You don’t have the right to bury me, because you’ll be late if you do so”.

Ruth: “HUH?!!....What’s the time?!! Whaaat?! 6:45?!! I got to hurry or I’ll be late”

Olivia: “What the water necessary?”

Isabelle: “Was there another option to wake her up?”

Olivia: “ …”

While Ruth was taking her bath, Olivia and Isabelle were taken to school by Fedrick by car. As for Mr. Nniemelek, he was watching the news at the EURONEWS channel drinking a cup of hot coffee in the palor.

Miss Carole: “Sir, the breakfast is ready and served in the dining hall”

Mr. Nniemelek: “Thanks Carole, can u please switch on the large screen in the dining room?”

Miss Carole: “As it will please you sir”

Mr. Nniemelek then moved to the dining room, as breakfast he ordered chicken cooked with curry and chilly accompanied with dry bread and hot black coffee.

Mr. Nniemelek: “Is Ruth still asleep?”

Miss Carole: “Yes sir, it seems Isabelle used late Mme. Bella’s second option” (Smiling)

Mr. Nniemelek: (Calm smile) “Hmm…it calls back good memories…”

Eventually that method was the late Mme. Nniemelek’s own way to get up her husband when he didn’t want to get up from bed. At 6:50 am, Ruth finished dressing up and came down stairs.

Ruth: “Good morning dad” (giving him a kiss on the jaw)

Mr. Nniemelek: “Good morning my flower”

Ruth: “Sorry for being hasty like this on table but I’m in haste, I’ll be late”. (Eating a little piece of bread with margarine)

Mr. Nniemelek: “Welcome to the active world, hope you’ll be bright in that company?”

Ruth: “Yeah dad I nearly forgot, do you know anything about this Soul Cleaner LTD?”

Mr. Nniemelek: “Soul Cleaner LTD…? Oh yes a little…one of our suppliers in equipment also provides them their services, I’ve heard they deal mostly with internet provision as well as housing construction, though it was established six years ago, that’s all I know about it”.

Ruth; “Wao…so that’s in what they do…amazing!! Ok daddy I got to go, catch you tonight okay?” (Giving him another kiss on the jaw)

Mr. Nniemelek: “Okay dear, good luck”

Ruth:” See you later Miss Carole!”

Miss Carole: “Have a nice day”

As Ruth went out of their gate, her phone began to ring, it was Kellies who was calling.

Ruth: “Hey missy, I’m on my way!”

Kellies: “Ok us too, Donnay is so excited it’s scary”

Ruth: “Just pour on her head a cold cup of water and she’ll be back to normal”

Kellies: (Laughing) “’Okay, catch up there then in 5 minutes”

Ruth stopped a taxi and took off for the Festival Avenue. 7:15 am, at the entrance of Soul Cleaner LTD, Ruth met her two friends who just arrived as her all dressed in black suits, Kellies and Ruth wore trousers while Donnay wore and admirable skirt.

Ruth: “Here begins the first chapter of our success ladies”

Kellies: “My heart is full with anxiety”

Donnay: “Time for exploitation towards our goals”

Inside the fountain hall, they met four other young ladies by the fountain, one standing and the other three were sited.

Kellies: “Wao…seems we’re not the only ones to come early…”

The one standing came towards them so as to greet them

Annia Prinson (25 year old): “Hi girls, are you all newbie in this company?

Ruth: “Yeah and you?”

Annia: “Of course yes, my name is Annia and you girls?”

Ruth: “I’m called Ruth, but my friends call me Ru. (Giving a hand shake to Annia), and here are my closed friends Kellies and Donnay”.

Annia: “Hey nice to meet you girls, come let me present you to those three over there, (Moving towards the three ladies by the fountain), us four we began last week Monday. We found this place so amazing”.*

Donnay: “I’ve realized that people outside do ask themselves how we’ve managed to be employed here, they don’t know that not all ingredients in a sauce obtain the same degree of spice”.

Annia: “I like the expression, okay Ruth, Kellies, Donnay, let me introduce you to; Serena Yemeckeng (24 years old), Kwiin Nudjong (24 years old), and Xora Etchu (23 years old)”

Donnay: “Hey, are those hairs of your for real?” (Touching Xora’s long black hairs)

Xora: (Cute laugh) “Of course they are, everyone since I was 12 were always astonished by them”.

Serena: “Xora is half Cameroonian and Indian”

Kellies: “Now it’s clear because she has the profile and which of your parents is an Indian? Mom…”

Xora: “Yeah”

Ruth: “So tell me I’m too curious, it’s already 7: 20 but I see no other person than us and the security agents “

NOTE: Little description of the four new girls Ruth met; Annia has black skin, brown eyes and wore a trouser in her suite dressing, Xora is exactly as Donnay but with long black hairs reaching her booty and light brown eyes with a short skirt as Serena. Looking at Serena, she got amazing breast as Annia and Kellies, a Brazilian skin with a little ear ring on the nose with brown hairs. As what concerns Kwiin, she’s a lady with a bit of weight but smooth as sexy with amazing breast and booty, as Ruth and Donnay her hairs are blond. Ruth for a more detail, she cut her hairs short and had it half black and blond and as Kwiin, they both have an ear ring by the eye brow.

Kwiin: “There is no problem about it, it’s us who are early, but us we had a good reason to come at such an hour”

Kellies: “Which is…?”

Annia: “The H.E.S. of the Soul Cleaner LTD”

Ruth: “The H.E.S.?”

Xora: “To be more specific; the High Earners Subordinates abbreviated as H.E.S.”

Donnay: “And what makes them so special those so called High Earners I don’t care how they are being called”

Serena: “They are the company’s top employees, the ones who generate a high amount of revenue (Begins to speak in a low tune), and it is even said that the person amongst them with the lowest salary is amounted to 350,000 Euro per month, so imagine the one with the highest salary”.

Kellies: “OH…”

Ruth: “MY…”

Donnay: “GOSH…!!!”

Kwiin: “Yep, they are really loaded with cash”

Xora: “They all went to a mission for the campaign for their services in Japan, and today it’s in Cameroon that they are coming to make an audit of the whole system before going to Sydney in Australia”

Donnay: “For how long will they be here?”

Ruth: “Donnay please you can’t try again to follow those old people for money”

Xora: “Where do you stay Donnay?”

Donnay: “I rent in Deido”.

Xora: “No, I meant your original home”.

(Donnay stayed silent for a moment disturbed by Xora’s question)

Annia: “7:30 it’s time”

At the exact time Annia said, employees to the Soul Cleaner LTD began to arrive at work. The cleaning and maintenance staff as well as other newbie. “Hello Annia, for real you girls were serious about coming at work early”.

Annia: “Achilleos, Dru!!!”

Dru: “So they really want to see those amazing young fellows so called H.E.S.”

Kwiin: “Accept you are jealous of them”.

Serena: “Yea they got the skills and the money, that’s why they caught our interest”.

Donnay: “Young you say? Wao…it’s really interesting, I’m now more than interested to meet them”.

Achilleos: “Oh…? I can see we got an additional number of newbie in the house”.

Annia: “Well Ruth, Kellies, Donnay. Let me introduce to you the two newbie in the I.T. department; Achilleos Ndzock (25 years) [Athletic body, afro black hairs and same skin as Serena] and Dru Akwo (27 years) [Black skin, athletic body, low hair cut, an ear ring on both ears, as Achilleos a height of 180 cm]

Dru: “Nice to meet to ladies, I wish you the best in this family for in Soul we are a family as they tell us”

Kellies: “Ok we got it” (Minimizing Dru)

Dru: “Wao…what a cold baby”

Achilleos: “There are the bosses”

The main directors of the different departments of the Soul Cleaner Cameroon branch made their entry; for the human resource: Mr. Thomson Vile, Florence Mvom (37 years), for the administration: Rebecca Shildzt (30 years), James Doumbe (32 years), and Aicha Naresha, for the trade export-import: Micheal Cossover (40 years) and Julia Ntuzwana (33 years), for law and public affairs: Frank Rousseau (44 years), for marketing: Bill Lawson (30 years), Megan Sawer (28 years) and Helen Djokang (37 years), and for the finance: Nivolen Koresh (49 years), Miranda Ndongo (40 years), and Lucas Von Streger.

Serena: “All of them have the class and freshness, devoted to this company, more specially those women, how amazing they are. One day I’ll be like them”.

Achilleos: “Hey Dru you know why this babe was cold with you, those are the reason”.

(Suddenly, that bad feeling suppressed Ruth’s heart again)

Xora: “Wao…”

Donnay: “For real? You’re kidding they can’t be…”

Kellies: “Do you mean that these people…”

Serena: “Yes baby”.

Kwiin: “For real there is no doubt, the golden chain on their necks”.

Annia: “The High Earner Subordinates”

Ruth: (Silent)

Achilleos:”Hey dude look at me those chicks in their band!”

Dru: “P…Pretty…Sexy…” (Amazed)

Like a cyclone gathering everything on their way, that’s how these young individuals attracted the attention of the other employees. Having the fashion in their dressing, the freshness in their hair styles, and the beauty of angels. The High Earner Subordinates, young men and women within the age range of 22-28, as they were passing Ruth’s bad feeling was becoming tenser.

Annia: “Okay my people from far I’ll introduce because I saw them once; from Nigeria: Dean Wanchukwo (28 years) law. From China: Nadia Chang (22 years) I.T, from Japan: Yuro Nazaki (26 years) I.T. From France: Boobie du Louve (25 years) marketing, from India…”

Kellies: “Hey! A sister to you Xora…”

Annia: “Aissatou Mileche (23 years) marketing, from Germany: Angela Von Zatversg (26 years) administration and Shella Von Shaine (22 years) human resource, from USA: Bradley Hughes (27 years) trade, and from Cameroon…”

Donnay: “Cameroon?! A Cameroonian is among this team?!”

Achilleos: “Yeah”

Dru: “The first time I heard it, I couldn’t believe such a thing, a Cameroonian young man having such ability to be at the top at such an age!”

Kwiin: “But he’s for real, “the blond-blue eyed lone wolf prince” of the Soul house”.

Serena: “Kcriss…”

Xora: “Mahelles…”

Annia: “Du Rhône…”

Achilleos: “27 years old…”

Dru: “An amazing chartered accountant and statistician”

Donnay: “hey Ru…?”

Kellies: “What’s the matter…?”

Achilleos: “Are you hurt…”

Ruth: “No it’s okay…”

As Ruth lifted up her head, she saw Kcriss, for about a fraction of seconds, their eyes looked at each other. Without an explanation, Ruth’s bad feeling suddenly cooled down, the young man in grey costume made a little charming smile to the young single lady and continued his way to the lifter.

Kellies: “Ru…what’s the matter”

Donnay: “I think she needs to see a doctor”

Ruth: “Uhm Annia, what’s this young man who just passed now?”

Annia: “Kcriss Mahelles Du Rhône the most paid of all the H.E.S.”

Ruth: “So…his name is Kcriss…” (Little smile)

Some moments later, Miss Sawer one of the marketing directors came to collect the newbie ladies as well as Annia’s team. As for Achilleos and Dru, they went to the I.T. department at the 5^th floor.

(USA, Abnormal Investigation Bureau Head Quarter, New York)

 Every agent in the AIB began to be alert due to an increase in disappearance of young ladies and babies, not only in USA but also in some parts of the globe. Miss Jearim Anderson (36 years old) director of the AIB summon Devoymer. While Sanchez was in the general lab trying to get some proofs from blood tissues and other organic materials found on the crime sites as well as developing new weapons, Devoymer was training in the virtual center, so as to increase his abilities.

Devoymer: “Begin the test” (Getting ready with two guns)

Artificial Voice: “TEST ACTIVATED!”

An artificial back ground was created in the hall, it had the appearance of a forest of dead in Transylvania, then in a moment men armed with blades and guns began to attack him. In a total, they were fifteen, ten with blades and five with guns. He jumped up and killed two with each a bullet in the head, then three with blades came behind him but he was dodging their slashes, as one was about to pears him, he shifted and the man killed the partner. Devoymer then targeted the eye and killed him, in a second he kept his guns and used two blades with which he killed five instantly, two the head cut off, one on the heart and the last two with bombs.

Unexpectedly, the test was being deactivated. He removed his virtual glasses and saw agent Shiller (32 years).

Devoymer: “What the hell is your problem Shiller?!! Aren’t you seeing I’m training?!” (Throwing violently the glasses)

Shiller: “Sorry for disturbing you, but it’s the boss who sent me to call for you”.

Devoymer: “Go and tell that b***h I don’t have time to tchat with her, I got stuffs to do” (Whipping his face with a towel)

Shiller:”Like what? Erase your past bloody pilgrimage? As for me I won’t let someone like you go free in the street. Only one order and I’ll be…”

In a second, Devoymer caught Shiller by the neck and jagged him up to the corridor, then hit Shiller’s head to the wall. Everyone were wondering what was happening.

Devoymer: “Be what? Huh? You can’t speak?” (Removing his gun and pointed it to Sheller’s head)

Sanchez: “Dev!!! Please stop it!!”

Devoymer: “Kid, this is known of your business “

Shiller: “Yeah show me what you got, this will be a good excuse to end your life!” (Pointing his blade on Devoymer’s neck)

            There was tension in the air and without the presence of the other seven elites; no one in the AIB could stop these two from fighting, because they were both elites as well. But sudden, Miss Jearim was in between them, she gave a hit to Sheller with her elbow on his chest and as she was about to hit Devoymer on his chest with her palm, he dodged instantly. “Wao…He dodge lady Jearim’s “Holy Palm Fist” said an agent. Surprised and amazed, Jearim just smiled in a second.

Jearim: “There are occultists out there and you guys are fighting amongst you?!”

Shiller: “We have to close this guy, he’s dangerous, and he may betray us on day!!”

Jearim: “Shut up Shiller!! And you Devoymer I want you to go to France; we have two agents who will be part of your team you and Sanchez, they have a suspect in their hand that has important info for us. He has to be brought hear alive. Here is the PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) it will show you the point of Rendezvous” (Shooting the PDA at him).

Devoymer: (Catching it with the left hand) “…is that agent a newbie? Or …?”

Jearim: “Let’s say she’s an expert, we’ve just recruited lately” (Smiling)

Devoymer: “Next time you’ll be the one I’ll kill, be sure of that”. (Standing)

For a moment the whole AIB was as silent as a graveyard to the level we could hear cars passing outside.

Jearim: “I’ll be waiting for that day as well” (Wetting her lips and making a wink)

Devoymer: “Kid…let’s go” (Taking his coat)

Sanchez: “Y…Yes yes”.

Shiller: “No matter what you do Nathaniel; you won’t be able to remove the blood of innocent people you killed from your hands! It’s forever stained!!!”

As Devoymer and Sanchez went out of the building, everyone continued with their activities.

Shiller: “I don’t know why you allow such an insane being moving freely in our streets, he’s a murderer with no respect for life, apparently those years in the Vatican prison haven’t changed anything from his evil attitude. I don’t really understand you” (Following Jearim to her office)

Jearim: “Shiller of course you’re one of AIB’s best element, but if such an act or words ever come out from your mouth, I assure you I’ll personally kill you and cut you into the number of chapters in the new testament, then disperse them to the four parts of this globe. Have I made myself clear? (Her blue eyes turned red as blood)

Shiller: “Y…Yes Miss…” (Scared)

Jearim: “Okay then (smiling, her eyes coming back to normal), I want you to go to Florida”.

Shiller: “Why Florida? Do you have a source?”

Jearim: “There’s a rumor about a small group of people disappearing over there but this time, they’re young men, and all of them went to the same university, can you look that case?”

Shiller: "I’m your man; I’m taking a few men with me along”

Jearim: “Shiller…be careful…”

Miss Jearim stood by the window and saw down at the other side of the road Devoymer entering his car with Sanchez. Then, she had a little flash of a little girl crying. She then sat and opened her locker, where there was an old bandage inside. In a moment in her head she heard this past voice saying: “If you want to survive to this evil world, be strong, very strong”.

(12 am, Soul Cleaner LTD, Cameroon)

The girls took their break and they went at the company’s canteen, there all newbie were present, males and females as well as some old employed staff.

Annia: “Hey Ru, over here!”

Kellies: “Gosh…I never knew how stressful the active world could be”

Xora: “Don’t worry you girls will get used to it”

Achilleos: “Is it you who says that Xora? You who since your first day usually comes late at work, oh except if it’s to see the H.E.S. right?” (Wink)

(Everyone laughing)

Dru: “Hey let me present you guys Wilson (27 years), he’s with us in the I.T. then Marianna (24 years) she’s in the administration department and Hans (25 years) from the trade department.”

Marianna: “Nice to meet you”.

Serena: “Sure have a sit here”

Dru: “Oh thanks babe…my legs were hurting me”

Kwiin: “Hey Dru that seat wasn’t for you, so remove your fat a*s from there…please Marianna have a seat”

Marianna: “Thanks, so from what the boys told me you girls saw the H.E.S.? impressive huh?”

Donnay: “Yeah, mostly Kcriss, he’s so cute…!”

Xora: “Yes he’s, I wonder if he got a girl friend?”

Marianna: “Not to my knowledge, this is my second year in the Soul house, before I was affected here in Cameroon; I was in the SA (South Africa) branch, and I rarely heard from other employees or staffs about his privacy”.

Kellies: ‘Are you sure he’s not gay?”

Hans: “There I can assure that he’s not, but I would’ve loved to go out with him…oh sorry I’m gay, hope it doesn’t borders anyone”.

Marianna: “Uhm…Hans not us but to the guys yes”.

Achilleos, Dru and Wilson began to look at Hans weirdly with fear in addition.

Hans: “Hey guys chill…none of you is my type anyway…”

Wilson: “We really hope so…” (Drinking his coke)

Ruth: “Oh damn!!!”

Achilleos: “Any prob Ru?”

Ruth: “Yeah, I forgot my cell phone on my work post, I’m expecting a call from Pastor Lawson, I’m going to fetch it and I’ll be back”.

While on her way to the office at the 4^th floor, she had collision on the corridor with someone then fell. “Aouch, it hurts!” said Ruth scratching her head. When she looked at the person to whom she collided, she realized that the person in question was Kcriss.

Kcriss: “Are you okay?” (Helping her to stand)

Ruth: “Uhm…I think yes, I’m so sorry, I was in a hurry”

Not knowing what was happening to her, her heart was beating as fast as a drum in a festival, and began to be shy. Amazed by his blue eyes and attractive lips.

Kcriss: “Aren’t you one of the newbie I’ve met this morning by the fountain?”

Ruth: “Maybe…”

Kcriss: “Surely its destiny that made our paths to cross again, will you mind if I …know your name…?” (Embarrassed)

Ruth: “Did you say something…?”

While adjusting her hair, her rosary showed itself out of her shirt, and attracted Kcriss’ attention. Then suspiciously, he changed and became cold, the kind and loving face had turned as cold as ice. Harsh: as the word insane, and terrifying: as a predator in the dark. Again the bad feeling of this morning came back again towards Ruth’s heart. “Is this guy the cause of this insane feeling”, Ruth asked herself.

Kcriss: “Whoever you can be, you have nothing to do here, and I’m giving you a week to quite this company, hope I’ve made myself clear? Next time learn to be careful while walking in corridors” (Walking away)

Ruth: “Hey…! What do you mean by me to quite?! Are you crazy?

Kcriss entered the lifter, as the doors were closing, he looked at her again, and his eyes were no more blue, but golden yellow and more insane. Such paralyzed Ruth who stayed speechless and scared, what was it she saw? Why such a change? What could have gone wrong? No clue came up.
