"hey guys, imma let Dustin hang out here ok?" Steve says as they walk into the back room for employees only. (not the backrooms dummy).
"Ok, just as long as the boss doesn't see." Robin says.
"Yeah man, I'll cover for you with the customers for a while so you guys can catch up." I say giving him a quick smile.
"Thanks y/n, i owe you one."
Me and robin take turns upfront and hear them talking about and listening to this Russian tape they're trying to translate. They think we can't hear them but we can. After a while we get tired so we go to the back.
"Alright dingus, your turn to work."
"It's just that I'm helping dus-"
"Translate a tape you think is a secret Russian message so you can be American heroes, we know, your not as smooth as you think." I say.
"We can help, i happen to speak a few languages."
"Russian?"
"No dingus. But i can speak Italian, french and Spanish."
"And i can speak Portuguese but i doubt that would help."
"Fine, yeah. But keep me updated." He says walking to the customers.
We spend a few hours taking shifts between work and translation and soon we make some progress by translating our first sentence.
"Hey, we got a sentence. 'the week is long'." Robin tells Steve.
Now, the mall already closed and we are the last people in. we just have to shut the store and close the mall.
We finally translated the message but it doesn't make much sense, it says 'The week is long. The silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west.'
"No one talks like that it has to be a code or something."
"I can't believe I'm actually going to say this but the child is right! Now we just have to crack the code."
We continue walking towards the exit of the mall but i notice that Steve stops.
"Shit. Does anyone have a coin?"
"Aha this is amazing, don't you think it's a bit late to go play on the pony?"
"Shut up, just give me a coin! -he says as i give him some coins from my pocket.- thanks."
"What are you doing?"
"Shh!" I say as i recognize the song.
"Holy shit." Dustin says as he gets the tape and presses play.
"It's the exact same song that's playing in the background!" Steve says.
"Yeah ok but don't they have these in Russia?"
"These American mall ponys? I don't think so."
"So that means the message was recorded here.. in the starcourt mall! Steve your a genius!" I say hugging him but quickly pulling away so it's not awkward.
Is Steve.. blushing? Nah he just must be exited.
"This is great, we'll meet here tomorrow and work on this ok?" Dustin says.
"Ok."
We all go home and rest after this crazy long day.
