Chapter 10: The First Shift - Part 2

"30 Minutes Later"

"Hey Vincent, I'm going to get some food, do you want anything?" Asked Jason. "At this time," remarked Vincent as Jason simply nodded at his remark. "Well, which food place is going" asked Vincent." Stella Fried Chicken" exclaims Jason with a smile on his face. Jason said it was his treat so you could choose any meal he wanted and Vincent of course decided to accept. Jason handed Vincent a menu so he could decide on a meal and Vincent decided on a 4-piece fried chicken box with large fries. Jason seemed surprised by his request for a couple of seconds before saying okay and starting to march out of the room. Midway Jason stopped and said "Oh I nearly forgot to mention a technician will be coming in a few minutes to fix the fence and his name is Shinji. "At this time" exclaimed Vincent in a skeptical tone but Jason stated that he was busy most of the week and said this was his only free time. Vincent decided to leave it at that and Jason handed him a photo of Shinji before leaving for his food run. Shinji was a decently tall man with well-kept blonde hair and a stern face. Vincent went back to work while waiting for Shinji and his food to come. Looking through the cameras of the mansion just conveys the surprising size of the mansion. After checking the cameras he decided to take rounds around the mansion to explore the mansion as well to make sure only he was the only one in the mansion. He explores the mansion's 2nd floor which is decently bigger than the 1st floor. The mansion had a butler room, ballroom, music room, bathroom and a dining room with some other rooms. He explores the rest of the mansion, eventually ending up on the pretty surprising big rooftop area. It even had an area with rooms which surprised Vincent as it was a place to have rooms. However, most of these rooms were used for supplies like art, winter clothing, tools and expensive items like knight armor and vintage toys. Vincent thought he be more surprised but deep down he knew his dad was a weird hoarder. He decided to go back downstair and take a look at the security logs to see if anything surprising would happen. But as he turned around he saw Shinji behind him smiling at him. However something was off, his hair was brown, not blonde as he had seen before. The hair was short and a light brown color, and by this point, Shinji knew Vincent was scared and confused. Suddenly Shinji took out a blonde wig from his pant pocket and explained: "I was at a costume party just before coming here on short notice." "I just didn't care to take it off when talking to you earlier because let's just say me and the others are not getting along" also explained Shinji. "What happened" asked Vincent out of curiosity. "Well, it's just that I got forced to work on the fence and security of this place for the last 8 years before you came." "It's also the fact that it cuts into my time for my hobby," said Shinji. At this point, Vincent can tell Shinji's tone has changed from calm to agitated. "I got stuck in this mess, all because I got involved with your dad's little science experiment where I got blackmailed into going deeper in this mess," said Shinji. "At least Mr. Poutine said if any legal trouble were to occur, I wouldn't be involved as I had the least to do with these creatures." Vincent at this point was just confused at Shinji venting out his anger and he walked side to side until he eventually hit a backpack. Once Shinji saw what he hit, he gave Vincent a small creepy smile. Shinji's hand reached into the bag grabbed a small camcorder and said: "Why don't you see what mess your father created and trying to get you into" said Shinji. "Oh, don't give me that look since you have nothing to worry about as the Creatures are locked in a cage" explained Shinji. Vincent then asked Shinji why he needed the camcorder and Shinji responded, "TO see into the darkness of course as Jason's key was needed to turn on the light there so the camcorder will act as his light. Vincent asked why the weird power control but Shinji said it was Jason's idea. Shinji guided Vincent through the mansion to the basement door while giving some extra details to Vincent. "You see, this whole operation is a joke as we are not some greedy corporate company with a lot of money but just some rather just some well-off individuals." "As well as not organized, since no one takes my suggestions seriously," said Shinji. After saying that, Shinji took out a key to open the door to the basement. Vincent after seeing he had a key asked Shinji, can he turn on the lights but he explained that only Jason could turn on the lights there as he designed it and that section of the basement. Vincent reluctantly decided to check out the basement once and for all. Vincent took the camcorder and headed to the basement stairs which made Shinji smile. As he took steps down into the dark basement, Shinji closed the door causing a shuddering sound to be heard. But Shinji reassured Vincent that he could open the door from there and turn on the camcorder. The camcorder had the quality of night vision goggles. Vincent walked slowly down into the basement, he saw that the base area was just a storage area that was to another room. Vincent opened the room to the next room which was a game room that was decently big and had a lot of game consoles with a television and a pool table on the other side with a kitchen. Also on the game console side, there was a hallway that led to three rooms. One is a bathroom with a toilet and bathtub, a bedroom and a cold room. On the other side of the room was a single metallic door which led to a pipe room. As Vincent entered the pipe room he noticed that the pipe room was cool and that the pipes were color blue, red and green. Using the camcorder to look around he noticed a leak in the pipe which was pouring into a bucket below it. Vincent decided to move forward and as he did a distinct smell of dead flesh filled his nose. He moved his camcorder in the direction of the smell, revealing buckets filled with chicken meat followed by a chirp-like noise. He then turned around with his camcorder to the direction of the noise and that is when he saw with night vision a group of raptors staring at him with their claws on the cage bars. A liquid can be seen coming from their mouths. Vincent said, "Is that a Raptor!"
