No, this blue-haired woman almost caught you, which makes you think it won't happen again. With Adella, you'll be able to meet a superior in the organization.
Adella shakes her head, her hair covering your face. "No, I'm fine." They reach the door, and the host opens it.
"She's all yours, Nat." From where you were standing, you could see a woman with long brown hair tied in a ponytail.
"Thanks, Velma. I'll call you when I'm done."
The door closes, and as you look at Nat, you see that her clothes are what you might call business attire.
"Have a seat, Adella." Adella sits down while you stay hidden in Adella's shoulder.
"I'm going to go over some of your background. Your name is Adella Fisk. You come from a low-income family. You finished high school. At 20, you left your parents' house and started living in apartments. You started working at a supermarket for three years, and then you came to us. Is that correct?"
Adella just nods. It must have been difficult for this girl to survive in a city like this. She didn't choose this kind of life, so you don't think to judge her.
"Now tell me, Adella, why did you leave your parents' house?"
"My parents... they had a lot of trouble with money, they went into a lot of debt... they wanted me to work so I could help them pay off all those debts... that's why I couldn't go to college... I didn't want my life to be like this, and that's why I left them."
"But even so, you help them a little with the electricity and water bills."
You feel Adella's shoulders tense.
"That's right."
"Okay, now, if I told you there was someone threatening to permanently destroy everything you've fought and sacrificed for, what would you do with that person?" It really wasn't hard to figure out what Nat was really looking for with that question.
"Uh?...I...don't-"
"Sorry, Adella, I think I got ahead of myself with that question."
From the way she was answering, you deduce that Adella has never killed a human being.
"What do you think about Bugs?"
The room falls silent, only Nat's fingers tapping the desk several times.
"What do you really think of them?, Time's running out, girl."
Adella begins to breathe rapidly, and even seems to tremble. This is bad. If she doesn't respond, this will end very badly. Suddenly, she begins to calm down and then lets out a deep sigh.
"When I see them....I can't stop imagining what it's like to be one of them and knowing that anyone in the world can crush your existence and not even know what they've done. Sometimes I step on them slowly and just feeling their little bodies break under my foot is truly...exciting! What I love most is making other people do the work! Making them get stepped on, crushed, devoured! God! I even put one in a condom once and when my client put it on I lost control! So much so that while we were having sex I couldn't stop thinking about that little creature being destroyed by my client's penis, and the best part is, they never notice when I do these things! When I told Rachel my secret instead of making fun of me she helped me! It opened me up to new possibilities! And that's why I love her so much! And beside-".
You were so stunned by what you were hearing that you didn't see Nat stand behind Adella, but by the time you realized, Nat's large hand touched her shoulder.
"Shhhhh, that's enough, darling. No need for tears. I appreciate you telling me. In this place, we're not interested in judging other people's tastes. All we want is commitment. And you know, some of the things we do here aren't that different from what you do. You see, there are some pests that try to ruin everything we've achieved, and to prevent that, we crush them properly. And now, back to the previous question, what would you do with that pest?"
"Sniff... tear it apart until there's nothing left."
You can see Nat's hand squeezing Adella's shoulder.
"That's what I wanted to hear darling. You did well. There's a small bathroom over there. Go wash your face."
Adella gets up from her seat and goes into the bathroom. She looks in the mirror, and you can see her makeup is ruined by tears. She turns on the faucet and starts splashing water on her face.
First of all, that was the most fucked-up shit you've ever heard. This woman really has psychological problems, and she's a huge danger to you. Maybe it's best to get out and try to reach Nat. She must have important information. Suddenly, a huge shadow consumes you, and a few seconds later, Adella's huge green eye looks at you, Oh shit, not again.
......
Adella looked strangely at the ant she was holding. What's going on? Was it the same one Rachel devoured? No, that can't be possible. Was it some kind of test? Adella peeked through the half-open bathroom door and only saw Nat sitting at her desk on the phone.
"Hey, aren't you done yet?.....Yeah, everything went well. I had my doubts about your girl, but that's all settled. For now, Velma will take her to his new room...... No, you have to finish it. I've already made things easier here, so finish the damn job."
Could it be Rachel? She said she'd look for me after the interview. Adella looks at the ant, and a few thoughts appear in her mind.
No, no, no, please, not now, she bites her lip, maybe should ask Rachel for help, she always makes things so hot when it comes to exterminating bugs, but, after that she sees Nat, she is very distracted in his computer, if only there was something of hers that she could use, no no no, is risky, Adella looks again in the mirror, and from there she sees the toilet, she should better throw it in there and send it down the drain just like these thoughts.
