Amber asked. Bryson nodded slowly. "I not only worked thier, but I was one of the first to..." he took a deep breath. "I used to work there too, but the things they do thier are so horrible I had to leave!" "It must have been awful," Bryson said sympathetically. "Amber," "Mhm?" "Would you...believe me if I said the BlazeCorps wasn't always a place of torment and evil?" "Wasn't always?" Des asked. He was on the ground petting Lola who happily panted. The old man nodded slowly. "It used to be a company with benevolent intentions. Where we would focus on magic and how we could use it to create new things. But then. Things changed. The BlazeCorps was now turned into a nightmare place. A place of misery and torture, oversaw by a person who runs the progam with an iron fist." "Chaos..." Amber breathed but to her surprise, Bryson shook his head. "It's not him. He's a good guess but no." His expression turned grim. "The one I'm talking about is the well-renowned scientist everyone seems to know." "Wait...R-Rosie? You mean Rosie Shine?" Amber asked. Bryson nodded slowly. "What other people see on TV is a kind and sweet girl, but on the inside...she's one of the worst monsters you'll ever meet." "How do you know?" The old man looked at her with grief. "Because I used to be friends with her father. Henry Shine. You probably don't know this but he was the one who founded BlazeCorps." Flashbacks came back to Bryson as he remembered being younger with a younger Henry. They wore formal business suits and standing in front of a huge building. "Well, Henry. I must say I'm really impressed on your huge achievement. I must say congrats, man!" "Thanks Bryson! I just hope this company can grow to be really successful." They went inside and looked around. It was a huge Engineer and Science lab with inventions displayed all over the shelves. Man made robots, self vacuuming roombas, prosthetics limbs, and much more. "We're going to start business in a few days." Then Henry thought of something. "If you want you can even start." "Your joking right?" "Nope. I mean it." "I don't know, Henry. Seems like a big deal." "I'm sure you'll do just fine." Henry reassured. "So will you take up on my offer?" Bryson smiled slightly. "Oh alright I guess." "There we go!" Henry said cheerfully. "Also it would be great for you to join my family for dinner later tonight." Bryson shook his head. "No no no I can't" "Come on, we insist. It will be enjoyable. I promise." Henry smiled warmly. "Oh alright what the hell," Bryson gave in. They continued to tour the new building. As they were finished, a woman in a formal skirt came up to Henry and said "Here are the keys to the building," she said as she handed him a key. "Congrats on all of this by the way. I have no doubt your company will grow into one of the biggest ones." "Thank you, I really appreciate that." Henry said as he smiled. He turned to Bryson. "Alright, buddy I'll see you later tonight." "Cya, take it easy," Bryson replied. At Henry's house, He had invited Bryson over for dinner. "Nice place you have here." Bryson complimented. "And a pleasure it is to meet you, Mrs. Shine." he said meeting Henry's wife. She was a blonde haired woman. She had on a pink t-shirt with blue jeans. "Please, call me Angie." she said. They sat down at the table and started to pass out the food. It was steak and stuffed mushrooms." "This is really, good." Bryson said as they ate. "Thank you! I made it myself." Angie said. "Hey, Dad!" shouted a voice excitedly. Bryson saw a 20 year old girl, come through the front door. "Hey, sweetheart, how nice it is for you to come visit." Henry said as he gave his daughter a hug. "Well I am glad to be here. College is getting a little bit hectic for me you know," she chuckled. She then noticed Bryson sitting at the dinner table with her parents. Henry noticed and told his daughter," "Rosie, this is Mr. Moore. He's a close friend of mine." "Hi, Mr. Moore. It's great to meet you." Rosie said cheerfully. "A pleasure it is to meet you too, lass." Bryson said gently. "So, Bryson what do you do for a living?" Angie asked. Bryson looked up from his food. "I work as an engineer. I'm actually working with Henry and I'm about to start my first day tomorrow." "Well, that's splendid." "My father always makes the coolest inventions, doesn't he?" Rosie giggled. "Indeed he does." Bryson agreed. "Henry, you could even sell them for a fortune!" "Maybe, but I'll think about that when I cross the bridge later." Henry replied. "It would be great if I owned the company!" Rosie said. "I actually been learning to invent things from my father. It would be my dream come true to take over once he's gone!" "Rosie, don't get too excited," Angie told her daughter. "You know your father worked very hard to get to where he's at. Don't expect to take ownership so easily when he's gone." "I know, Mom. But don't you think I could?" "Of course, pumpkin. But don't get too ambitous okay?" "Alright." They continued to eat and Rosie excused herself from the table. Bryson looked at his time. "Well I don't want to be in your hair any moment longer, so Ima just take off. You have a good night and thanks for inviting me over." "It's no problem. You have a good night. Drive safe!" Henry said cheerfully. "And then...it all hapened." Bryson breathed slowly.
