Max Ramsay's Ordinary Life??

[*A beautiful morning* Max Ramsay, Who is a Normal Person Living a Normal and Peaceful Life.]

Max woke up early and went out for his morning jog. Max jogs every day for over an hour. Help him keep his mind on track. After returning from the jog, Max took a shower and got dressed for work.

Wen getting dressed, Max saw himself in the mirror and smiled. "What a beautiful day" he said to himself. For some reason, he was in high spirits today.

He had a cup of tea for breakfast and glanced at his watch. "Ahh Crap!! It's 8 Am! I m late for work already."

Just as Max was leaving, he got a call from his father. His father just wanted to check up on Max.

"Don't Worry father. I am glad for my job as a Chef. Cooking is both my hobby and passion. I just love what I'm doing right now."

His father smiles and Said "Yeah Yeah! I don't need to worry about you. My son is talented enough to do anything. I Believe in you, Max!!

Max asked about his mother, "How About Mother? Is she fine? Is she taking her medicine daily??"

His father just reassured him, and handed the phone over to Max's mother. Max's mother is worried about her son. Max is an only child, and such, his mother is a bit over protective of him. "Are you Ok my Son? Are you Eating Well? Sleeping Well? How's the Job going?" Max's mother just starts shooting her questions at him.

Max smiles. Knowing someone cares for him helps him coop with the lone life in the city. "Mom, I am fine and whats with the questions maa. I am doing well. You don't have to worry Mom, you raised me well."

"I have to worry. You are my only son and yet you are away from me. How can I not worry?"

"Don't worry mom. I'll a few days off and come visit, I promise. Right now, I m kinda running late, so can I go?" "Oh ofcourse honey, get going right now. Ofcourse you are late you have to do everything by yourself." Max's mother's voice was filled with concern. "I knew he couldn't take care of himself alone in the city. We shouldn't have let him go" Max's mother now voiced her concerns to his father. Max chuckled at his mother and left the apartment.

As max was walking down the street to the restaurant where he works, he came across a police barricade. This piqued his interest. He stopped to see what was going on. The barricade was crowded outside with bystanders. As he pushed through the people, he saw that the Special Forces were carrying out an operation. A few criminals had locked themselves up in the building.

Among the commotion, Max saw someone. It was Gore. Gore was a hero of the city. He was ranked 7th in the top officials of the city.

Seeing Gore, Max gets a flashback of when Gore saved his life from a Supernatural. Max was attacked by a supernatural. Being a human, Max was not able to save himself and just as he was about to meet his doom, out of nowhere, Gore came to his aid. Max was saved in an instance, and he became indebted to Gore for the rest of his life.

Max admired Gore and his dream is to become a Solider like Gore in future. Gore was an Un-Natural, yet he is one of the Top Ranked Solider in the Special Force. Gore was strong, determined and capable enough to save thousands of people in a matter of seconds without even breaking a sweat.

Max Arrives at the Restaurant and help to open it. He placed his bag and stuff in the Cabinet.

Max went into the Kitchen and got everything ready. He got an order for Tofu, something Max was well versed in making. We cooked it up, ad set the plate. He turned to the door and saw the waiter take the plate to the customer. The customer's face lit up as he saw the Tofu.

Wait! Max just saw the next customer coming in. Yes! The Gore is here for a Tofu. Max came out of the kitchen to greet his hero, Gore.

Max Smiled and waved at the Gore and Said "Welcome, Sir Gore. Nice to see you at the restaurant. Want me to get your regular dish?"

"Keep your voice down Max. Peoples are hearing you" the manager called out Max.

"Hey Max!! How you doin'? Ofcourse, I want the regular. You Tofu is, after all, the best Tofu ever had."

"It's my Honor to make your meals, Mr.Gore. You are my Hero." Max tried hard, but he couldn't contain his excitement.

Gore had his meal and Max daydreamed about Gore and him working together to save the city for a criminal syndicate. Gore soon finished up and left after thanking Max. Max practically squeaked as Gore thanked him.

It was a long day at the restaurant. Max was in kitchen all day long and was overworked. After the restaurant closed, Max's manager came to him and placed his hand on his shoulder. "You are best Max. You are also the main reason that this restaurant offers the best food in the city. I don't know what I'd do without you." He then gave out a hearty laugh.

"Thanks Sir!! It's my pleasure to work here. But...." Max hesitated to complete his sentence.

Manager Asked "But....What Max??"

Max continued with fake smile on his face "Ahmm....uhu....It's end of the month already. Can I get my salary a bit early this month??"

Manager is just stoned.....for a second

"Yeah!!! Of course... But can you wait a little longer ...I have a lot on my plate....You know ....there are also other branches I need to look after.....I have to give some.... uhhh ..you know, get the paper work done for the Owner as well. You know what I m saying Max, right?"

Max Ramsay just smiled and nodded. He knew this would be the outcome. "Ofcourse, Mr. Mathews, I understand."

Max went home. He was tired. He leaned on his door for a second or so, then went to the kitchen to make dinner. Max's kitchen was small but tidy. Everything was well kept. A small fridge in the corner. Multiple shelves for putting away everything, neatly arrange crockery. All the dishes were clean and ready to use. Max prepared a small meal and sat at his table. He looked at the bulb for a moment, let out a sigh and began eating. Once finished, he cleaned up the kitchen again and went to sleep.

This is Max Ramsay's entire life. Mundane. Max neither gets any over the top excitement, nor does he want it. He is a human after all, as simple as they come.

One night, Max was returning from the restaurant. His steps were heavy. He was tired. Suddenly, Max heard a woman's scream from an alley way. He was startled. He tried to look in the dark alley way. Another scream came, and something came over Max. he ran to help whoever was in distress.

He saw two thugs are snatching a lady's purse.

Max Ramsay is reluctant to help. He has no power nor does he know how to fight. He asked himself what to do, when Gore's image came to him mind. He had always dreamed to be like Gore, fearless and dependable, so why was he hesitating to help someone who direly needed it.

Max mustered up courage and charged. He tackled one of the thugs and started choking him, trying his level best to keep the thug down. The other guy turned around and kicked Max in the ribs.

His kick was so strong that Max flew towards the wall. Max gasps for air. The gasps are followed by coughs with blood coming out. He was hurt. "Goddamit it hurts" Max thought.

His breaths were heavy. Before him were Unnaturals. Max was a human. He was no match for the two of them.

Thoughts flooded Max's mind. What was he thinking? He can't stand up to them. He came to save the woman, but now he needed saving himself. In the distance, Max heard the clock struck midnight. Hope left Max's eyes…..
