A man of science [ tf2 x reader insert ]

Chapter 7

It's been about a week and a half since I talked to that lady. Miss Pauling was it? I'm pretty sure she was just scamming me but did as I was told. I packed everything up including my experiments and inventions, and the chemicals. I made sure I had a backpack filled with the essential stuff like undergarments, my masks, the carbon fiber knife, the picture my mom gave me, and a few clothes just in case. Boxes have been sprawled about in the living room, filled to the brim. I also packed a suitcase full of clothes so that I can wear those if I feel like.

I looked out of my window to see a moving truck and two guys talking with a woman. The men looked like they were wearing jumpsuits and had a logo on the back of them saying in big letters " TF " with a circle around it. the woman looked like the same when we first met a week and a half ago. She then walked into the building with the two men, I could already see the binder she was holding before she walked into the entrance. I walked away from the window to grab a small rectangle shaped box and put it in my backpack along with a lighter. Mother is going to be disappointed in me if she sees that I have cigarettes in my bag, it usually helps calm my nerves when I'm stressed. I'll just not tell her this one thing, she doesn't need another person to worry over right now. I then heard a knock at the door, startling me from my thoughts and walking towards it. I put a mask on before I opened the door and poked my head out to see who it was, only to find the woman herself and the men I say through the window. I can see the men better now and they look the exact same, practically identical to each other. A shaved beard that shows, about 5,11 tall, and the same face shape.

" ah, Miss Pauling, glad to see you again. " I said with as much politeness I could muster.

" hello mr. Delaney, you packed and ready to go? " she asks as I open the door wider for her to come in.

" as you said for me too. The boxes are scattered but everything is packed and ready. But please do be careful with handling them, some of them are fragile. " I said with a blank smile pushing my glasses up to my face.

" of course " she said with a smile, holding her binder in hand.

I watch as the two men carried out the boxes as I put the suitcase and my backpack on the couch. It took maybe one to two hours but all the boxes were gone and put into the moving truck. I put one strap on my left shoulder and carried the suitcase with my free hand. Miss Pauling watched as I grabbed everything and checked the entire apartment before she told me to follow her. I carried the suitcase down the hallway and into the elevator as the doors closed and went down.

" so, are you nervous about this job? " she asked looking a bit concerned for me. " your coworkers are going to be a bit strange at first. "

" I doubt they will be normal people Miss Pauling, but to be fair, yes I'm a bit nervous about it. " I said with a straight face.

" everything will be fine mr. Delaney, when we do get there though, we will have to see the administrator before you can met the team. " she said sternly as the elevator doors open and we walk out of the building.

" I figured as much, this administrator person seems important. But I'm also curious about what my coworkers would look like. "

" and im glad to say their curious to meet you too mr. Delaney. " she said with a smile.

We stopped at a car that's parked next to the moving truck. It was black and looked like a limo from first glance, having the same logo as the two men. The door opened and I got in putting my suitcase on a nearby seat and held onto my backpack. Miss Pauling sitting next to me while looking through paperwork from her binder. The door closed and the driver started the vehicle before the moving truck started to drive first and the terrain began to move. I looked through the window of the car watching the terrain when Miss Pauling started to speak.

" you can rest if you need to, it'll be a good while before we get there " she said with a gentle expression.

I keep staring at the terrain wondering about the personality of the people I'm going to be working with.

The terrain changed from a gravel texture to a sand texture as we continue to drive through the sandy desert of New Mexico. Miss Pauling told me that the job is in New Mexico, but not much was said because  I didn't answer her while I was looking through the window. The car finally stopped and the door opened, Miss Pauling got out first while I grab my things and followed her out. Feeling the heat of the sun already, I looked around my surroundings for a moment. There were multiple buildings in what looks like the middle of nowhere, the building looked rundown and have no sign of live in them.

" follow me " Miss Pauling said as she started walking to one of the building.

The building was bigger than the rest of them, more cleaner. I was starting to get the feeling someone was watching me but didn't pay to much attention to the feeling. We stopped by what looks like an elevator and waited for it to open its doors so I can finally meet this administrator person. I held onto the strap of my backpack that's on my shoulder as we wait for the elevator. When it finally opened we walked into it and waited to reach our destination. We didn't talk but I listened to the faint music of the elevator while waiting. This is going to take a while.

I started to wonder about how this administrator would look like. They can't be older than maybe 50 if you think about it. They work in the middle of nowhere and might have been working there for a long time. They might be a workaholic, not that I can speak much, I'm also a workaholic myself. It's just so easy to get lost in your work sometimes.

We hear the elevator ding and the doors opened to a room with a wide desk and at least about twenty square televisions behind it, a chair facing the TVs with the back of it hide whoever is in it from my field of vision. As we walk in I could see two other chairs in front of the desk, having a leather look to them.

" administrator, he's here " Miss Pauling said with an professional tone in her voice this time.

" ah, finally. please, have a seat. Both of you " they said with a feminine voice fulled with tiredness behind it.

We both have a seat in each of the chairs as the person behind the desk turned there chair around.
