The next day at work 

Morning ,

Plato was ready to leave for work along with Dimitri 

Kid , said a voice from the other room 

Come here , said Sergey

Plato went to the other room 

Sergey was seated on his desk , smoking a cigarette . And the stupor was smelt easily by Plato

You are the new one , asked Sergey

Yes , I'm Plato

I'm Sergey , the both of them introduced themselves

Aren't you a little too young for this job , asked Sergey

It is Dangerous out there , warned Sergey

I travel with the trucks , that is all . Replied Plato

And what is inside the trucks , asked Sergey

Waste , replied plato

Nuclear waste , said Sergey

And a bit of it , everyday . It will kill you . Said Sergey

I wear a mask , always . replied Plato

A mask , laughed Sergey . As he took a long puff of smoke

Where are you from Plato , asked Sergey

Greece , replied Plato

Go back there . Said Sergey

Plato , let go . Said Dimitri . We are getting late for work 

The two of them made their way to work . 

There was silence between the two of them

And finally Dimitri spoke 

Forget what he said , He was in a stupor . Sergey

OK , replied Plato 

And Dimitri , a drunk man wont scare me that easily .

Lets get to work . Said Dimitri 

The two of them walked inside the gates 

And Yet again , Dimitri went to his office and Plato to the changing room

He got changed up and went to the entrance of the building , waiting for the truck to arrive 

How are you this morning Plato , asked the  lady at the reception

Feeling just fine Madam , replied Plato

The lady smiled .

The truck arrived with Andrei driving inside

Plato got in and then removed his mask as he sat in the enclosed drivers area

Morning , said Andrei . 

Morning , said Plato

The two of them drove away from the compound

Andrei saw Plato looking at his driving and making a note of all the movements in the memory

Be patient Plato , laughed Andrei

I was not doing anything . Said Plato 

Andrei did not say a word and just drove ahead 

The snow was a lot heavier than the usual 

Too much snow , said Plato

A lot more than usual , replied Andrei
