-Its just a door! -Said Henry Jekyll to himself, the CEO of "Jekyll and Hyde" one of the most cutting edge technology laboratorys, with hundreds of employees, the company was the top right now, and in the manner of seconds, Dr Jekyll had to cross the door to a new era, to expand their company to the skies.

The only problem was, the men who wanted to expand hes company were tough and rude.

-Just gotta get in, convince them about supporting our company and its done! -He said as he fixed his tie.

Finally he took a Deep breath and opened the wide glass doors.

-Hello Gentlemen.

-Is it Dr Henry Jekyll! -Spoke a man with deep voice, with a robust body and a bald hea. The stereotypical looking buisness man Mr Marokee was smoking tabaco and the smoke was all over the place. A lot of men were waiting him too, but Mr Marokee was the "Big fish".

-Mr Marokee, such a pleasure to meet you.

-Same.

-Now have a seat! This your office, right? Dont be shy!

Jekyll took a seat, nowing that he wasnt able to take such preasure down there.

-Now tell me! Since we are all here reunited.....What, and why should innvest my money in you? -He pointed at him.

-Well sir, I must say that as an really progressive and succesfull investigation company you and your partners should..

-No,no,no,no... Dont tell me what I "should do" just tell me what -we- get as advantage, why is your company so special to be innvested with such a vast 'mount of money ? I dont know If you know, but thanks to me, many succesfull companies have rised thanks to me! For example, Apple, the computer shop, I met Steve Jobs and hes nerdy friends when they were working on theyre garage!!

-Well since we are a laboratory and we merchandise new drugs and medicines, I assure you we get much more than from selling a MacBook.

-Dont talk to me about numbers boy! Cuz I dont need more..hehehe Even without all this, I can live well with the money of my parent's well, and my parent's parent's.

-If what you are interested in is power instead of numbers,-The obnoxious man started to smile- such a place like this may offer you many...

-If you arent gonna accept us by our company, and wont help, I suggest you to leave! -Interrupted Bob, the youngest of employees.

Mr Marokee's smile fainted and he stepped from his chair, followed by hes partners.

Bob smiled at the beginning and looked at Jekyll, but when he saw his face, his smile fainted too.

All the buisnessmen went out of the room and only the big boss stepped infront of Henry and his men.

-So then! Such a company with so unexperienced employees doesnt deserve our attention!

Henry was speechless.

Then the intimidating figure came close to him and talked to his ear: -Its such a shame that Mr Hyde couldnt attend the reunion. -And left.

Bob ran out as soon as the men were gone.

-Mr...Mr Hyde ?

As Bob was drinking water near his office, on the 19th building of one of the tallest buildings in London, Dr Jekyll was writing a desperate letter to Mr Hyde.

As soon as he finished he went to bathroom, but unfortuantly he couldnt help crossing with Bob. In an overreacted action, he pushed him to the wall.

-You fucking rookie !

-Im sor-sorry sir..doctor...

-You had to open your bloody mouth didnt you! He was just starting to be convinced.

-Sorryy...im really sorry...

-How old are you Bob?

-Im ...22..

-22 ? How old do you think I am ?

-I...I dont know...

-Im 48 and I have seen tons of things since I was 6 ... Ive learned so much you know, but something Ive really learned, in all human species as a hole... Is that we make mistakes... You are barely a man, and I heard you had a baby...

-Yes......

-Well, im gonna let you stay, but Im not going to be soft, If you ever fail to me again, You wont even need to say goodbye!

-Okayy....

-Understood ?!

-Understood...

-Now go away..

As he left back to his office, Jekyll continued. Although he had been already pardoned, he was still nervous for his job, so he decided to speak to the other man in charge, Edward Hyde. Although it was mostly Jekyll who took the decisions, Hyde had the same authority as him.

Most people were afraid of him, he didnt appear very often, and his apparence was frightening. Although this, Bob trusted him and decided to go to his office on the upper floor.

Though a dark halway lied the door of Mr Hyde's office.

He knocked and a cranky voice answered: come in.
