Get Smart *Act 2*

[Act 2]

4:15 P.M.

[Same day]

Walking on the brick pavement pavement, Zack steers himself clear off 

the road thinking about his parents possible where about.

The Station road where he walk near his school, London Brookes college, doesn't seem to help him obtain a sense 

of peace to think as the busy bustling of cars pollute the area.

'Now then I still got 30 minutes before work what should I do?' He thought

Maybe he should be an employee of the month if he arrived early to work but then again the manager of the fastfood

restaurant seems to hate him.

Zack kept walking

*Tack,tack,tack*

Passing the lam post

*Tak,tak,tak*

Crossing over the green light

*Tak,tak,tak*

Passing over the variety of food stalls

*Tak,tak,tak*

Zack regained his senses, as he look around.

He arrived at his workplace, McDafe, a fast food restaurant which doesn't have any resemblance of any

famous fast food restaurant.

It's Neon red lighting seems to say how they are active and ready to service customers if they went inside.

unfortunately Zack doesn't share the same feeling as the light.

'Hmm.. I seem to have done it again' he said to himself.

What does he mean? he usually seclude himself in something he calls a world of thoughts, where he can freely create

ideas,words,concepts,conjectures,etc floating around him.

Sometimes due to his overthinking nature, he loses sense of time and direction, this is also the reason he's not

good at maps and often gets lost when they just first moved here with his family.

Luckily Zack manage to memorize some Places, especially the ones where he needs to go.

He stood on edge of the pavement and looked around for a place to eat, wrapping his arms around him.

Night is coming, thanks to his encounter an hour ago at the school.

He began walking at a nearby stall, it sells Fishballs, a round piece of round fish meat that is submerged in

variety of sauce choosen by the buyer.

Zack smiled as he eat, calming his stomach and storing all the energy he can manage before his arduous work starts.

9:00 P.M

[Same day]

"Haaah..." Zack sat on the chair, lying his hand over the table, a true image of a salary man wasting his life.

"Don't die yet" said a  voice approaching behind Zack.

Zack didn't bothered to turn around knowing whom the voice belonged to.

"Here I brought you a drink so cheer up" said a girl in uniform.

black slick hair, tied in a bun due to work requirements, but it still doesn't faze the beauty of her face.

A stature of a tough girl that was born in poverty, they say this about Nikki.

So if you need any inspiration just ask Nikki and she'll get you pumped up.

"Thank you" said Zack obviously trying his hard to be somewhat polite and fails at it miserably.

"Hey it's not cool not facing the person to whom you are grateful to!" retorted Nikki as she took a seat next to him.

"Eh.. who cares it just you Nikki" Replied Zack.

"How rude!" Nikki winced as if a bee had stung her followed by a giggle.

"You look really tired today did something happened?" she leaned near Zack's shoulder.

Eyes full of curiosity and a smile that will make any pet owner go "Awwww"

Zack expertly repelled her "Go away I'm tired" he rolled and faced his body away from Nikki.

"Tsuu~ you're also more stingy today" said Nikki her voice starting to become sulky.

Honestly Zack couldn't be anymore happier for Nikki's cheering but he didn't want to involve an innocent girls life

to his unsteady one where he doesn't know what might happen tomorrow, will they have something to eat?, can he still attend school?

This thoughts kept approaching in his world.

'Honestly I'm too young for this' He thought.

*Bam!!* The plastic door swung hard enough as if something broke apart

"Yosh! Hey Zack!" Yelled a man full of vigor, raising his arms up proudly like a winner.

"haahhh..." Zack sighed even deeply

"Heya!!" greeted Nikki with the same vigor apparently Zack seems to be nowhere near their energy that he might just dissolve.

Zack slump even greater to avoid their attention.

"Yo Nikki! today was busier than usual eh?" Said the man.

"Correct! I think my hands are burning just from pushing the button of the cash register!" replied Nikki as loud as she can

"ahh.. lucky for you, my body seems to be aching from lifting those meat products." Said the man massaging his back.

Just as the man seems to ran out of energy he suddenly grinned "but it's not enough to tire me out Ha!" he shouted

He turn towards Zack "Oh right!" he seems to remember that his purpose he came here was Zack

Zack sighed again and responded "I'm tired go away" he tried to shoo away the man.

"Come on now!"

*Pak* he smacked Zack shoulder attempting to pass his energy to him and somehow succeeds as Zack winces

"Stop that!" exclaimed Zack

"Let's go to the club! I wanna grab a drink! also I want you to taste my new brew!" Said the man pulling Zack's arm.

"Eh?! can I come too? I wanna taste your liquid!" Said Nikki somehow salivating.

Honestly It sounded wrong in many ways in Zacks's ear as he sighed.

This man who is currently dragging him is named Axel,a crew chief from where Zack works

A crew chief is like a sergeant to all crew, one crew chief is equivalent to six crew.

Leading the newbies to what it needs to do and giving them motivation to work harder.

The man Axel seems to fit with all this description so it's not a surprise he became a crew chief.

and so Zack knowing Axel's stubborn nature he had no choice but to come along after all, he himself needs a drink.

The three of them walk towards the still noisy streets as they head towards Irving way.

Trudging the busy streets of Station road and blocking the noise with their own.

Axel Mocking, A guy of spirit and humor , the counter part of Nikki's bubbly nature these two go along so well that they think

of them as couples but they just laughed it off as a bad joke.

His family owns a local bar in Irving way which is known for their cocktails and alcoholic beverages.

The mockingbird, The name of their bar. 

It truly does mocks everyone who came in contact to it, it's grandeur design of bricks and neon lights.

A place truly dedicated to those who just wanna have a good time.

It's Intoxicating scent tingles the groups nose as they enter, Jazz music playing on the background as they walk to the counter.

"Hey sis! how it going!" Said Axel.

"Good as ever!" Replied her sister Natalie.

They have matching red hair, with Axels a standing spiky hair while his sister is an energetic tied up bubbly hair.

Axel quickly removed his uniform and changed into a waiter's.

"Now then dear guest! please take a seat!" Said Axel in a loud but gentle voice

Of course the two took their respective seat and laid their hands on the bar

Zack kept pacing his head around still absorbing the place around him since he never got use to it while

Nikki is happily chatting away with Natalie as the music Drowns the four of them.

"Zack" came a gentle voice from Nikki.

"Oy! Zack over here! Catch!" An energetic voice came from Axel.

"Don't worry it's on the house" A motherly voice from Natalie.

Zack caught the sliding shot glass with his palm "Thanks!" he replied.

The four of them raised their glass and shouted "CHEERS!!!"

Zack doesn't know how long will this last nor how long will he live but for now 

he'll take things one at a time and won't rush.

That's right it's always been this way and it wouldn't change

after all he's somehow grateful he has this kind of friends.

He smiled a smile without a shred of perverse. 

Warm feeling flowing through his body as the time flow steady with the music.

He smiled as he take a sip from his glass...
