~~~~~~~~~~~♤Chapter 9♤~~~~~~~~~~~

Start from the beginning
                                        

I snap my fingers.

"I got it."

"Huh?"

"You can work during the day and Chubby will work during the evening." Her eyes light up like a thousand stars.

"You really think that's possible?!" Her voice is full of hope.

"It could also be that I think Chubby would be more than happy not to see you for a while and get to be lazy for 8 hours."

"So, what do we have to do to make this a reality?"

"We can't talk to Chip right now, he's busy and he won't like it if we propose this idea."

"Why though?"

"Because he'd think of you as a coward. So, we need to get someone else to ask him this."

"So who?"

"Well first of all it can not be just anyone so that eliminates any of the other workers."

"Other workers?"

"You honestly didn't think we were the only ones who worked here? We have other waiters of course and those who insure the building is well kept and those-"

"I get the idea thanks."

"Very well, so as I previously stated none of the workers can be the ones to propose this."

"So that narrows it down to the five of us I'm guessing."

"You catch on quickly, but, yes, that leaves the five of us - considering we have a much closer connection to Chip. Although as we said before you can't ask him, so that leaves us with four."

"What about you?"

"I know Chip well. I could ask him during one of my trips to his office. Although..."

"Although?"

"Although I am not as close to him considering I was one of the last one to join before you."

"Therefore you have known him for a shorter period of time and don't know how to convince him as easily?"

"Correct, that leaves us with three."

"What about Jaza?"

"Between you and me-" I lean down closer to her to insure we are not heard.

"Chip and Jaza aren't that close. He kinda thinks of them as a crazy bartender and they think of him as a crazy power hungry man, neither of them are wrong of course. This doesn't mean they don't get along at all, they have their... moments. I suppose mostly when we're playing all together."

"So are they the kind to be friendlier with each other when there are others there as well?"

"Precisely, that leaves us with two."

"So, Chubby...?"

"..."

"..."

"Why would you even ask that?" I shoot her a confused look.

"I honestly have no clue."

"Now we're left with one person."

"...Sash."

"It would only be logical, she's Chip's right hand and has known him the longest, so yes, the perfect candidate to propose our idea."

"..."

Suddenly Miracle goes quiet which utterly confuses me and has a look on her face which holds a perplexed look with a dash of anger.

"What?"

"You knew this and we wasted like 2 minutes-"

"1 minute and 30 seconds."

"Whatever! We wasted this time going through a list and debunking everything when you had this very important and specific knowledge this whole time?!"

"In my defence you should have thought of this as well, considering the information that Sash has shared with you and how she got you out of the mess you created." She glares at me and I stare right back, remaining serene and neutral while she puffs out her cheeks in annoyance. Finally she caves in, of course.

"You make a fair point." She grumbles.

"Of course I do."

"Cocky as always."

"Stupid as always. Now shall we go ask this favour?" Miracle bobbed her head in response and we headed back to the bar to ask the demon for help.

This was about to go very well - or knowing this place - horribly wrong.
