When i enter the bar, i'm surprised for the wonderful work Covems and his dwarfes had done: the lights, the decoration…..all is perfect and ready for the Crhistmas party! Looking around, at last i see it….a splendid Crhistmas tree!
“Those brats are really skilled with their hands….mmmmhmm, and not only with them!” i say to my self, thinking at the past nigth.
I walk to the counter where Joe is working as usual.
“Hey Joe! Great party last night! By the way…..did you know where i can find Covems!? I need to talk to him!”
Joe sigh for a moment, then answer me.
“He is outside, working at a cover for the fire pit with the dwarfs…”
“Good! I had to talk with him about them…..perfect time! Thanks, Joe! see you later!” i say him heading to the fire pit.
When i reach the fire place, Covems is there, alone, checking the work made. No sign of the dwarfs around. I'll take a look at the structure too, another proof of their talent in building several things and now i'm sure they are perfect for my plan.
“Really a wonderful work, my friend….you are good at projecting stuff like this and your seven brats have some good skill in building them!”
“Thanks, HB…..but why you call them “brats”!?” he ask me confused by my words.
“Cause they are…..you know what some of them had made to me yesterday!?”
“Uuuhh…yes, i was at the spinning table…..” he say looking away “sorry for it….”
“Don't worry….nothing bad at least..” i answer blushing and looking down a little “…just, well, if they had ask, i will not refuse, you know…”
“I will warn them for the next time…..”
An unnatural silence fall on us…..it takes a minute or more before the conversation can start again. I take a deep breath and talk to Covems.
“Thanks, i'll appreciate it…anyway, i'm here for business too!”
“Business!? Which type of business!?” Covems ask me looking a little surprised.
“I had bought an apartment, but i need some skilled guys to build some stuff before i move in….and i was thinking at the dwarfs, if it's not a problem…..” i take a little break, then conitnue “of course, i can pay them..”
“No money no money….more fun!” a voice yell. I look around but i can't see anyone.
Covems point the showers area near the pudding pit….oh gosh, had they built an entire dungeon under the bar!? I look in the direction Covems had point his index finger but i really can't see nothing who will resemble a door or a passage….
“Is it a deal!? is it a deal!?” the voice ask me.
With my face turning all red, i agree with the request….. “Ok….it's a deal, brats!”
Yells of happiness are coming out from everywhere, making me uncomfortable in front of Covems, who have notice it.
“Now stop it, guys!” he order them and immidiately they quit “Doc, come here! We need your supervision!”
And Doc suddenly appear from the Pudding pit and join us.
“Go with her, she will show you the work” Covems says.
“Thanks, Covems…i really don't know how you can can controll them….”
“Experience…” he answer “…i know them really well!”
I smile at him “You need help with the dumpster!?”
“no, i can hande it….”
“ok…thanks for the help! I own you a drink, Covems!”
I drive to my new apartment and show to Doc all the work they hve to do before i can move in. We talk for a couple of ours and set all the things they can need and everything else is necessary to do the job. After we have clarify every aspect of the job, i take him back to the bar and move to my old apartment: time to get ready for another night out!
