“ Mr. Wonder, I’m going to have to give you the pink slip. “
“ But sir, I didn’t touch her! This could be just a misunderstanding- “
“ I do not want to hear it. This has gone far too long and the victims are wanting you gone. Unless you can give me evidence that you didn’t do it, I’m going to have to let you go. “
Pump then answers “ Please sir! What about the security cameras? I was working on the paperwork! I promise, sir. “. His boss sighs and replies “ Many of the victims came to me and said that you sexually abused them. Even Ms. Smith said you did it too. “.
The man wanted to answer, but the older one raised his hand and lowered it. He takes out a small pink paper and hands it to Pump “ We won’t be discussing this any longer. Now please sign your name. “.
The chubby one looks at it…
PINK SLIP
Employee’s Name:
Effective Date: January 12 2034
Reason: Sexually abusing multiple women in the workplace.
Pump looks at the name plate…
Haru Izumi
Boss
He then looks at the pink paper…
“ Mr. Izumi, do you have a pencil? “
After he was given the pencil, Pump wrote his name and handed it back. His boss sighs and replied “ You may take it with you and I suggest you start taking all of your stuff. You should also leave as well. “.
“ Yes sir. “
Pump walked away and opened the door.

The box was put on the table and Pump grabs his supplies and grabbed a photo frame…
He needed this job, but now he’s getting fired because of some misunderstanding. After getting all of his belongings, a coworker walked up to him “ Uhh… did the boss call for you earlier? “.
“ Yeah… I’m fired. “
“ Was it about the rumor that spread two weeks ago? How did he not believe you? “
“ I don’t know, but maybe the victims mixed it up and got the wrong guy… which is me, but you get the point. “
His friend’s jaw dropped and replied “ Very unfair, but I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do about it. “. Pump only nodded and said “ I know… should we- “.
“ Mr. Orlov, please don’t be near this man. He’s dangerous. “
“ S-Sorry, sir! Won’t happen again. “
The boss walked away to tell the other employees while the chubby adult said “ Goodbye, Akim. “. Akim waved goodbye and left for his table.
Pump walked towards the elevator and sighed…
Who would accuse him of such a thing?
5:00 pm…
“ It’s closing time, Mr. Wonder. Finish what you’re doing and lock up the place. “
“ Yes sir. “
Pump placed the last of the lollipops in a jar and grabbed the box. It’s been a while since he was fired from his last job, but he’s doing well at the CandyClub. As much as he was fine with the job he had, the man wanted to work somewhere else.
Pump opened the door and placed the cardboard box down and walked back inside. After taking off the uniform, he puts on his jacket, and grabbed the keys.
After a few moments, he locks the door and kept the object in his pocket.

“ Vamp, I’m home! “
He takes off his jacket and walks upstairs. The father opens her door and found her on the bed “ How was school? “.
“ It was fine. “
“ I hope you weren’t using your phone during school, young lady. You know that I’m not gonna get another phone if you get your current phone confiscated. “
“ I didn’t, daaad. “
Pump just laughed and replied “ I’m gonna get ready to go out again, so I can buy some stuff for myself. Keep the door locked, don’t let anyone in, and I got the keys. “.
His daughter just nodded and the father already walked away.

“ Hmm… will it be too heavy? Nah. I think I’ll do fine. “
Pump went up to the cashier and puts the carton of beer on the table. He then grabs two whiskeys and placed them next to the beer. After a few moments, he pulls out the exact cash and gave it to-…
“ Hmm… thank you, sir. Let me put this away and I’ll set this up for you. “
“ Do you remember me? I was the one in the pumpkin costume. “
The older one looks up and replies “ Hmm… you do remind me of… hmm… I don’t remember your name, but you were always with that other weird kid. It’s uh… been a while. “.
Pump frowns and responds “ Yeah and I rather stay away from you. “. Once the beverages was in the bag, the father grabs it and instantly left.

Pump sat down on the couch and opened a bottle of whiskey “ I should probably get red wine next time. “. His favorite show was about to start until he heard a knock on the door.
He gets up and walked towards it. The man opens the door and looked down…
“ … I told you to stay away. “
“ And I just wanna talk to you. “
“ Why? You bothered us for long enough. “
Roy sighs and replies “ I know and I’m sorry. “. Pump was just speechless. He drank his whiskey and asked “ What excuse you got? “. The older one then responded “ Home life wasn’t great. Mom and dad wanted me to hang out with the other rich kids, but I never really felt satisfied. They were just spoiled rich brats who thought the world revolves around them. “.
He looked at the whiskey and said “ Someone I know drank a lot of that and died. Ross and Robert were the only two who were my friends until they distanced themselves because of me. My uncle did some… touching and other things back then, but I’m not gonna say. “.
The older man sighs and continues “ I only bothered you two because of my shitty life and you guys were easy targets. I’m sorry for the shit I caused. “.
…
Wow…
“ That’s your excuse? You bothered us because of your shit family? “
“ I- “
“ I don’t wanna hear it! Just because you were most likely tormented by your own family which most likely includes your uncle doesn’t mean you get to treat us like crap! Especially the shit you pulled when Skid was only thirteen! “
Roy tries to say something, but was stopped when Pump raised his hand. The younger one lowered it and replied “ Stay the fuck away from my daughter and my family. “.
His former bully sighs and walked away. Pump closes the door and leans against it. He drank the whiskey while his daughter looked at him “ Dad, who was that? “.
“ Ummm… “
“ Hey looosers! “
“ Oh really? ‘Cuz I heard there’s a spooky party in the house on the hill! “
“ Of course, he got tortured by a bunch of-
“ Dad? “
“ Just… a bully who used to bother me and your dad. “
“ I… I only heard you say the last part before he left. I was just listening to music. “
Pump sighs and replies “ Don’t worry about him. I just don’t want him near you. “. He got up and continued “ I’ll be making dinner in an hour. If you need me, I’ll be in the living room. “. The father walked pass his daughter and had another sip.
Once he sat down, he looked at the TV, and drank the beverage.
