Rats: Revenge of the Fallen (Part II)

Please go through Rats: Part I 

Based on true events.

 8:58 am Location: Office (undisclosed location in Gurgaon)

If Monday would have been a person then he would have drowned in an ocean of cuss words. I was so stodgy as I had slept late Sunday night that I felt like being pulled into an ocean of sleep myself. There is no more addictive drug than sleep especially when you have just woken up from an incomplete one. It’s not college anymore so no naps in the afternoon. I was still trying to make out the patterns of the real world around me when I was jolted into reality by a shriek which would have touched the 140db in the decibel scale. This time I didn’t confuse it for Sharapova.

They were back, the rats. The reflex action with which madam jumped on her chair would have put Jonty Rhodes to shame. The rat catching team (for the lack of a better term) was summoned to get rid of the rodent and soon the chase began. It leapt across the mountain piles of stacked files and disappeared into the dark of the room.

11:23 am Location: Conference room 

I had a presentation to attend. An Englishman was representing a company which was supposed to give us some insights on the new technology and safety measures to be taken for a better tomorrow (read: buy my company’s product so that I have a better tomorrow). We do get freebies at the end of it that’s the good thing about promotional events. So, 1 hour into the presentation (it was interesting) the guy slowed down and went back to his desk to catch a breath. The head peaked out and then it made a dash from the centre of the conference room. Four legs, a tail and of vibes of filthiness was all that was needed to make the people in the room dance on their toes. The English had a bad experience with these rodents in the 1300s  (Black death) and our presenter wasn’t amused by the presence of the uninvited guest.

5:21 pm Location: My Secret hideout (Area 51)

 I returned back to my room in the evening and pulled out my laptop to catch up on the world (okay, okay facebook it was). I searched my bag for my mouse (as in the computer accessory) then followed it by a thorough scan of my messed up table. It was nowhere to be seen then I saw the hole drilled into my bag and I got the message “The rats kidnapped my mouse” (Fact: It is still missing).  This was a coordinated effort and there were more than one of these pests involved in the heist. My worst fears came true: attack of the clones. They are everywhere now and it’s time to pull up my socks for the finale.
