City Lights wasn't to far of a walk from Luther's apartment. In fact he could always see it from his porch. He always stared at it. He was strangely attracted to what it was hiding behind the doors. It could be books, it could have the doors to the next world or it could be that special someone Luther has always been looking for.
On his way there Luther recalled the conversation he had that got him the job. He was outside City Lights, finally deciding to see what he always stared at, it was surprisingly very run down up close. Luther looked up to his apartment porch. It looks nicer from farther away. That's odd he thinks to himself.
He was about to leave when he notice a figure in a expensive looking zoot suit walk out of the ally next to the bookstore.
"You see something you like" the figure says in a deep voice. Luther was staring like he always does. He stopped himself and said stuttering, "I'm sorry I was just looking at the store." The strange figure looked at the store then back at Luther. "Do you want a job there" ,he said as a car drove by and someone else walked out of the ally and in to the car. Surprised Luther said, "I don't know maybe....yes". "You start Monday 8 o'clock, you'll get your papers then." he said while getting in the car. "But wait...." was all Luther could say before he was cut off by the strange man deep voice "The names C." and then he drove off.
Luther was at the door when he focused back on the real world. He didn't know what to do, the door would have been locked. Plus Luther was 15 mins late because of an incident he had with the 13th floor. With nothing else to do he opened the door and to his surprise it opened. But he didn't push it open like usual, he lightly shoved it and let it open on it's own. Standing on the other side was another person.
"Will" said a voice. "What?" Luther said. "What?" the person replied. "Never mind" Luther quickly replied noticing that that he was just hearing things again. Luther face turned red. "Do you want to buy a book?" ,said the person. He was holding some napkins and a duster. He was obviously cleaning the place up and it need some cleaning. "Sir do you need help" said the person, "Do I have something on my face?" Luther was staring again. "Sorry, sorry I don't mean to stare" he said. There was a few seconds of silence. "Oh. I work here now" Luther said while pushing back his shoulder length black hair. "C told me.......wait he told me to be here at 8 o'clock and that i would have to sign some stuff" "Oh ok. My name is Will Thomas. I'm running the place. So I guess I'm your new boss." ,Will said."Oh ok" said Luther, "Umm...I don't know what to do." Will handed him the duster and said, "How about you help clean up the place, We need to fix up this place. I'll get the legal documents from the register, Be right back"
Luther garbed the duster and began to clean.
