The Never Seen final

My name is Ted Winston, I'm just your average office worker I go to work in Stars Are Great Agency (S.A.G.A) the best Talent agency in the U.S.A. I work in the Miami branch. We are the type of people that work that scheduled meeting and handle the pay route of our clients. It's just your average desk job, I go to work, sit at my desk, calculate the latest earnings, employment till 10pm, and head home. I do this every day and have been doing this for fifteen years. My boss, Vince Snider an enormous prick, I use to date his sister, in fact, it was a cause of her that I got this job. But man can he be a real pain in the neck. Wait a sec I have to send this report about equipment for a movie apparently some of the things the needed on set wasn't there. I'm just like everyone else someone that's never seen, I sometimes wonder [[if I chose this life|i chose this life]] or [[that it chose me?|it chose me]]

I think I chosed this life, that the life I'm living is boring and not exciting at all I picked this life. That this life was my decision and no one else. A man just fu...(ring) (ring) my phone is ringing let me answer it, and I'll tell you more about my dull little life. Ted: "hello." Caller: "hello is this Ted?" Ted: "yes, Who is this?" Caller "I have a deal for you are you interested." this could be a trick I think it's better for me to just [[do my work|finish your work]] or should I [[take this oppertunity?|listen to this caller]] maybe this way of life[[ chose me.|it chose me]]

Some times I overthink, I mean seriously that this life chose me. Well, I should finish this repo... seem like I have an email from the boss. I open the file it says he wants to see me in his office now. what does he want, I should [[head to his office|go to the office]] or [[should I finish my work and meet him later?|finish your work]] maybe im wrong [[that I chose this life.|i chose this life]]

I don't know what my boss wants from me he always gives me tell me to discuss with all of his clients about there schedule I came to work for him as his accountant, but over the years he made me his assistant. I could never tell if he promoted me out of spite or as a joke. well I wonder what he wants now I open the door the boss" "ah here he is my 3rd favorite employee." Ted: "boss, don't you mean 1st favorite." the boss: "look no time for corrections, let me introduce you to our new client Amber Bell the star of America." Amber: "it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Winston." Ted: "no ma'am the pleasure is a..." the boss: "enough of that Winston, Ms.Bell wants to join our agency, and she heard about your amazing assisting skills and wants you as her personal assistant." wait when does my boss ever called my work amazing Amber: "it's true a fellow co-star I worked with three months ago gave me the name of a great assistant at S.A.G.A(stars are great agency) I believe her name was Bean Tillson." Ted: "I think you mean Jean Willson, sir, she one of our younger clients. this does seem like an opportunity." I can't believe Jean made it she getting closer to her dream. The boss: "oh yeah did you ever clear up that money issue, with our other clients Ted?" Ted: "yes sir its all taken care of." you always want the opportunity to make me look incompetent, a boss. Amber: "So What do you say [[Want to become my assistant for a while|Amber's Assistant]] or [[continue to work at S.A.G.A.|stay with the routine]]"

Man, this report is a tiring I think I've been calculating these number for 6 days wait. I missed the meeting with the boss, I should check my email. I read my email from my boss it says "hey, I've asked to see you. It's about a new client, but you've missed that chance now I have a meeting with Darrick Sharp, you've heard of him right. The pop star, he always tells people to keep it sharp, or something like that. Anyway, I don't have time to deal with that brat, so I'm dumping him on you refuse and I cutting your pay got it. you'll meet him at the Cafeteria you know where it is the one near Freedom tower." Why of all the people I have to deal with it had to be Darrick Sharp, ever since I met that one hit wonder I had never liked him it makes me wonder how the hell my boss deals with him. I can't stay with him maybe I should just go on home and pretend I [[didn't see the message|didn't see the message]] or [[do what he asked.|do what he asked]]

Ted: "alright tell me your offer." caller: "ok I'm sure you won't be disappointed in my talented prodigy." Ted: "that's good and all, but can you tell me the offer now. I have more work to do." caller: "ok, ok I'll speed this up my son has an amazing acting talent something no one in the world can do, and I want your help." Something felt strange, who is this guy why does he needs me, maybe I'm just overreacting. But I think the time that I should ask how he knows me, I mean he makes me sound like a big shot when in truth is not. Ted: " can you tell me how did you get this number?" Caller: "I'm a friend of one of your clients. I believe her name was Jean Willson." Ted: "Jean Willson! I hadn't heard from her in since our last meeting two weeks ago." I hope she got her missing paycheck. caller: "yes and I want you to become my assistant and help make my son's career big." Ted: "why should I become your assistant, I don't even know who you are." caller: "I'm sorry I forgot to give you my name; it's Mark Flench." I should be careful mark is a client for a different agency, when my boss tried to hire him he threw a chair out the window. My boss didn't want to represent Marks son, because he said that Mark's son has no talent. Ted: "oh so you son become big right?" Mark: "yes, so are you [[intested|Mark's Assistant]] or [[Your not?|stay with the routine]]

I ignored his message, and instead of cutting my pay in half the boss fired me. As I left work... I... Don't understand... did someone shoot me. Ted was killed. [[try again to find out who did it|finish your work]]

I had no choice but to do what my boss said, but on the bright side I won't get my paycheck cut, but I do have to deal with a pest. Well, I better prepare for the worst for tomorrow. The next day at the Cafeteria I made it on time, but as usual derrick is not here. Maybe i should order something might lighten my mood. Derrick enters the shop Derrick: "well, well, America it's time to keep it sharp!" People flock to this guy for the fun of it. They think he's that he is the greatest thing that happened to them. well let's get this over with Ted: "Derrick, hi you remember me right." Derrick: "I think I do, but the sorry fan I need to go and meet my producer." Ted: "I'm the assistant of your producer." Derrick: "oh you're that, that desk guy the one outside the office." really man Ted: "yes, the desk guy. I'm the guy who keeps check of your schedule and makes sure you get paid." Derrick: "yeah your right, so let's talk business desk dude." Ted: "yes, your right lets hurry up, because I have an important meeting to get too." Derrick: "come on man, chill out you know that if you get too excited, you will end up burning out." Ted: "well let's just see if the account doesn't burn out as you say." Derrick: "yeah your right, look I have a bunch of plans this week, so what's the pay amount doc is it high or low." Ted: "well your last album made it to a bust and in your next session you have..." Derrick: "wait, wait, wait what do you mean it a bust." Ted: "your last album "they can't do it like Sharp" didn't hit off with your fans like you wanted it too." Derrick: "I made a lot of money on that song are you telling me that I'm losing my fandom. are you serious?!" Ted: "I'm sorry, but that's what it appears to be. no look there are other options to rebuild..." Derrick: "no, no you listen here my album was at the top, and you're saying it drop because they don't like it." Ted: "yes, and your only option is to try something different." Derrick: "first you people lose my money. now your thinking I'm a dumb ass you said options plural, now list them off for me." so that's why the boss wanted me to do it, to tell this spoiled brat that he's not getting paid unless I get him back on top, damn what did I do that could have been a massive problem for him. Ted: "you could star in movies, create a new song that appeals to life situations, or just work harder." Derrick: "I guess, I'll take the movie idea, but I'm going to need an assistant to help me understand the film life." Ted: "well I'm sure that there are a lot of assistants that would be pleased to work with you." Derrick: "why not you?" Ted: "well you see I have to meet another client during that day." Derrick: "look it's either you [[be my assistant on this movie|Derrick's Assistant]] or let me tell your boss that [[im dropping him as my producer.|Get fired]]"

Ted: "I'll take it!" Amber: "excellent, I need an assistant for a movie called "The Hidden Ones."" Ted: "okay so what's it about?" Amber: "don't worry I'll tell you on the way." Ted: "okay let's go." The hidden ones are about an elite group of people who have been running the world for the longest until one of their new members starts to defect. It said to have a lot of other big names in the movie. As she took me with her to the first part of the shooting it was terrific to see such raw natural talent being displayed before me it was like if amber wasn't there, but someone else takes form. Amber was playing as the antagonist of the story Vex. look like she's on break I should go [[talk to her|talk to her]] wait I think I know that person should I [[go meet that person.|meet the person]]

They took it pretty well with me rejecting their offer but being back here just makes me wonder what would have happened if I just chose a different path then the one I'm on. Maybe I'm overthinking. As I left work... I... Don't understand... did someone shoot me. Ted was killed. [[try again|beginning]]

Ted: "I'll do it." Mark: "that's great my son has an audition tomorrow it's for a movie you must have heard of The Hidden Ones."" Ted: "yes I heard that the movie is going to be a huge success that they got famous actors like Amber Bell and others." Mark: "that's great I'll make sure to meet you there at the audition " Ted: "ok see you there, but before you go can you tell me what role your son is playing as." Mark: "my son is aiming to play as the hero of the story when he was younger." Ted: "sounds good, I'll see you there." I hugged up and told my boss about the job, he was excited about my opportunity for the first time. He allowed me to handle the assignment he believes that we could get Mark and his son as new clients. The next day I met with Mark and his son at the auditions. I got to say even though his son is still a kid he proved to the judges that he deserved to be in the spotlight I mean that kid was on fire in that audition. And marked offered to help out in the movie by selling them with one of his songs. Soon we were ready for the first take. Mark and his son gave it their all at. First, I thought of mark as a loose cannon, but it sure did surprise me to see him this well adjusted. they on their break[[ I should talk to them |talk to them]] wait who's that I think I know that person [[should I go talk to the person.|meet the person]]

Ted: "I guess I have no choice." Derrick: "yeah you really don't, so tell me what the movie called and who am I actin like." Ted: "there's a movie called "The Hidden Ones" they need someone to play the villain's second in command." Derrick: "Woah man, I don't take second to nobody you understand make me the villain." Ted: "but the villain is supposed to be a girl." Derrick: "well find me a better job or get the hell out of my sight." Ted: "look in this movie I heard Amber Bell will be in it." Derrick: "did you say Amber Bell will be in this movie?" Ted: "yeah apparently she is playing the villain, the biggest star in America and you'll be working with her." Derrick: "you know what that movie sounds Sharp get me an interview, and then we can head over to my future wife." We soon went to the interview and instead of auditioning derrick had me bribe the judge to let him in and no surprised it work on the first day of shooting Derrick was complete crap he couldn't act for anything all he did was kept on trying to get Amber to pay attention to him. I can't help but ask why am I here? Oh, he's taking a break I should [[ go talk to him| talk with Derrick]]. wait I think I see someone I know should I [[go speak to the person.|meet the person]]

He left the company and right after that my boss fired me. Great time to look for another job. As I left the company... I... Don't understand... did someone shoot me. Ted was killed. [[try again.|do what he asked]]

I walk up to Amber Ted: "you were amazing Amber!" Amber: "it was nothing, but I got to admit I could have done better in the last scene." Ted: "I don't know. I've seen a lot of good actors and singers work with my company and no one could be better than you." Amber: "well aren't you sweet but I must ask what about ms. Willson, she does a better job working as the main characters guide. You can take a break if you want ted. I'm going to rest in my trailer." she such a good person I watched the other scenes. No, I think I see Derrick sharp I hate that pop star. I best move, wait no it's the psychopath rapper Mark Flench what that crazy person doing here. Good thing mark left early for some reason I was able to continue to watch Amber's beautiful performance. After shooting five more scenes, the last stage of the day was located at the top of the freedom tower. but something was strange ms.bell was missing, and we needed her to finish the last scene, where could she be[[ should I look in her trailer|look in her trailer]] but who that person I haven't seen him on the set[[ i should follow the person.|follow the person]]

I walked toward the person when I got a closer look at the person I notice it was Jean Willson. Ted: "Jean, is that you?" jean turns around Jean: "well if it isn't my favorite assistant, I'm so glad to see you how have you been?" Ted: "I've been good jean I heard you've been making it big." Jean: "hey have you seen your boss anywhere have you." Ted: "no I haven't heard from him since I got here." Jean: "well he said that he was going to contact all of his clients about a new development in our contracts." Ted: "that's weird. I haven't heard about that." that was strange, but soon I heard someone calling me must have been the client that needed me. Ted: "I'm sorry but I should head back, it was good seeing you again." Jean: "good seeing you too, tell your boss I said "what's the new contracts about?"" Ted: "I will" I left to go back to the set some of the stars left other stars stayed, it was really cool seeing the different scene and how well some of the actors were when playing their parts after 5 shootings. The last shot took place at the top of the freedom tower, but something happened one of the stars who was playing the antagonist of the story was missing. I helped look for her [[could she be in her trailer|look in her trailer]] but who that person I haven't seen him on the set[[ i should follow the person.|follow the person]]

Ted: "Derrick what was going on up there?" Derrick: "look man if I can try to get with that booty of a villain my fame will go straight up that the album that drop will get up in the rankings." Ted: "that's why you've been hitting on amber throughout the entire movie? you should be focusing on trying to make this performance work not focusing on getting a booty call." Derrick: "look, man, I can do both I can act the shit out of this place and also tap that ass!" Ted: "look the director told me that if I don't keep you in line he's going to fire you and you might not be able to get another chance like this in the future"-lie I'm just tired of trying to reason with him. Derrick: "fine man, I keep it sharp." After that talk, they were able to actually get somewhere with the movie, as time passed some stars left others stayed. As i watch the scenes play out I soon see one of the other actors go early, I think it was that psychopathic rapper Mark Flench good thing I didn't meet him again. After five shootings, we waited for the last shot which took place at the top of the freedom tower, but the main antagonist was missing. I help look for her,[[ maybe she's in her trailer|look in her trailer]] but who that person I haven't seen him on the set[[ i should follow the person.|follow the person]]

Ted: "mark you and your son did amazing out " Mark: "it was nothing, but right now I have to take my son to home." Ted: "but isn't he the star doesn't he have another seen to do?" Mark: "that may be true, but I have to make sure he said he wasn't feeling too good, I think its because of something with the food at craft services. I talked with the director, and he said it's all right that they will just be filming all of the villain's lines today. And they can re-schedule his parts. " Ted: "well I hope your son feels better. I think I'm going to stay here and see if I can help recruit more people to S.A.G.A." Mark: "well sounds like you have your work cut out for you." Ted: "yeah." Mark took his son and left the set I stayed around for five more shootings before I felt like flying, but I wanted to see what the last scene was. There's only one person who is really getting on my nerves he's the pop star derrick sharp. But for some strange reason, the person who was playing the antagonist went missing. I help looked around wondering where the person was [[i look in their trailer|look in her trailer]] but who that person I haven't seen him on the set[[ i should follow the person.|follow the person]]

I knew that she has to be in her trailer in the parking lot downstairs I quickly. I went to her trailer I found her she was locked inside of her, but I could hear a faint voice saying "I reviewed this new contract... let's how free they can be." I don't understand what does she me by that, I looked over the scripted, and that wasn't in the movie. Soon after I heard a loud explosion when I turned around I was shocked when I listened to the explosion I quickly ran outside and what I saw was the entire top floor of the tower covered in smoke and fire. There were people still shooting up I have to go back in, but wait where's the bomber, where did he... damn he got away. I better just hurry up there since that was the top floor the elevators must be out I have no choice I have to use the stairs, I hope my years of track team doesn't let me down. I quickly head up the stairs I had to take some breaks before I reached the top. I passed by a lot of people who were running out of the building when I made it to the top. I saw the entire set was on fire. I couldn't tell if there was anyone still alive. until I heard a faint voice screaming for help. I looked around and saw someone pin under a beam that was on fire I quickly search for a fire extinguisher to put out some of the flames on it. Help that person. It works I was able to put it out as I lift the massive beam with all my might I told them to move out. They did, and I carried them to the stairwell as we rushed to get away another explosion occurred. Since we managed to get out of there, in the end, we made it outside of the building and when I looked at the person that I saved I was amazed it was Jean Willson. As I called for a doctor, the medics quickly assisted us. [[the police soon came to me for questioning.|questions]]

that person looks suspicious I followed the person who was leaving the set early to the parking lot Ted: "hey you there what are you doing there?" ???: "I don't have time for you ted." Ted: " how do you know my name how are you." ???: "just someone who's going to the top, but to do so there freedom must die" the stranger pulled out a remote and pressed a button at that moment a loud explosion ignited at the top of freedom tower. Soon after I heard a loud explosion when I turned around I was shocked when I listened to the explosion I quickly ran outside and what I saw was the entire top floor of the tower covered in smoke and fire. There were people still shooting up I have to go back in, but wait where's the bomber, where did he... damn he got away. I better just hurry up there since that was the top floor the elevators must be out I have no choice I have to use the stairs, I hope my years of track team doesn't let me down. I quickly head up the stairs I had to take some breaks before I reached the top. I passed by a lot of people who were running out of the building when I made it to the top. I saw the entire set was on fire. I couldn't tell if there was anyone still alive. until I heard a faint voice screaming for help. I looked around and saw someone pin under a beam that was on fire I quickly search for a fire extinguisher to put out some of the flames on it. Help that person. It works I was able to put it out as I lift the massive beam with all my might I told them to move out. They did, and I carried them to the stairwell as we rushed to get away another explosion occurred. Since we managed to get out of there, in the end, we made it outside of the building, and when I looked at the person that I saved, I was amazed it was Amber bell. as I called for a doctor, the medics quickly assisted us [[the police soon came to me for questioning.|questions]]

When I was turned in to police custody, they told me that someone hacked the security camera's during the shooting, so they can't identify the one responsible. The Police told me to wait here in the interrogation room for the detective to meet me. As i waited that feel like years going by I waited until he finally entered and sat on a chair across from me. detective ???: "Hello Mr. Winston, my Name is Detective Brooks, and I'm handling your questioning." Ted: "ok." Detective Brooks: "Where were you during the incident?" Ted: "I already told the other cops that I saw someone being suspicious on the set..." Detective Brooks: "yes and our witness report says that you were a suspicious person yourself." Ted: "Oh please you cops would believe anything." Detective Brooks: "yeah your right. I also believe that the bombs were brought in from an outside source. I want to know why are you disappeared before the explosion." Ted: "how many times do I have to repeat this to you." Detective Brooks: "Right, right you were just helping the crew. Oh right, I wonder if you know. The money you gave them came up on your credit card as invalid." he showed me a list of my payments. Ted: "What money?" Detective Brooks: "oh the thousands of dollars that were transferred to your account. from those actors that are dead or either in the hospital." Ted: "I don't know What..." these numbers they are the missing paychecks for our clients. Detective Brooks: "these numbers were stolen from the actors, and the payment that was made was used to bribe the stage directors to hide the bombs on set." it was obvious that he wasn't going to believe me no matter what I say. the suspects are as followed: [[me|me]] [[Darrick Sharp|they did it]] [[Amber Bell|they did it]] [[Jean Willson|they did it]] [[Mark Flench|they did it]] but with my information I think [[the mystery person|the boss person did it]]

Looks like he didn't believe me, figures I ended up here. I just wanted to get out of my norma.. wait I have a visitor. it's my boss Boss: "thanks again for all your hard work" what does he mean it sounds like he's saying I have a death sentence. Boss: "you did well on handling the contract I've assigned for you." Ted: "you know I didn't do it." Boss: "but you do know that with freedom comes with a price, something you took already. The money that was missing from the accounts and the jury was surprised at the amount that was stolen, and so they were convinced that you stole it. That the people who knew were at the explosion point so you can just run away with millions of dollars and to add in the destruction of an important landmark." you son of a bitch it was you. You might get a Maximum security prison sentence, but they all want the death penalty for what you did especially me. look likes times up bye Ted." Ted: "why?" Boss: "because of my [[sister|boss's sister]] ted." as he walked away I felt angry, I don't understand anything anymore. I was soon sentenced to death. [[Worst Ending|beginning]]

I told them About them, and they were immediately arrested. When I told my boss about them he just turned and look at me he said in a calming voice as he shook my hand, "that good to hear maybe you can go and be a detective or something. Now get out of my office" still a jerk as always, but I still don't understand why would she do it what their motive was. Ow, what... the hell why do... I feel so... sleepy. I soon woke up and realized that I'm in a car submerged under water. I tried breaking free, but it was no use. It was at the bottom of the ocean. Theirs something on the dashboard it can't be I picked it up, and it was a picture of me and my light "[[Rebecca Snider|Rebecca Snider]]" on the back of the photo it said for my sister. There was no hope for me as I died at the bottom of the ocean. [[Wrong Choice Endng|beginning]]

The police took a look at any nearby security camera and saw nothing from the footage until I saw something one of the cameras looking in the cafeteria I saw my boss in the window. I asked the let me go back to work. I can find them there guy, but I wanted some type of protection. The gave me a bulletproof vest and a gun they also taped a wire to my chest. I went back to work and met with my boss. I held the gun as I entered the room and point it at my boss's head. Boss: "ted?! what do you think you're doing?" Ted: "Boss, why did you do it?" Boss: "what do you mean ted." Ted: "why did you try to kill me and the stars." Boss: "look ted i..." Ted: "don't lie to me. explain now!!" my boss walks toward me slowly. Boss: "ted your acting paranoid." Ted: "then answer why where you at the restaurant that day?" Boss: "I was there to have lunch simple as that." Ted: "we both know that's bullshit! Every time we went to that restaurant, we either meet new clients, or we celebrate your success. tell I'll or me..." Boss: "you'll what, this your big plan thinking that I would confess to a child who hasn't even hold a gun once in his life." Ted: "don't play with me. Vince, I've had told me what the truth now." Boss: "your right; you should deserve to know before you die." I didn't know at the first moment he got to close to me was the moment he fought me for the gun. He took the gun away from me and point it at me. Boss: "It simple really at first I was working at S.A.G.A for one reason to become a great producer, but soon, as you know, you met my [[sister|boss'sister2]]. Things change and killing you became it. I loved her dearly and thought you were the perfect person to have her. do you remember how she died, she died because she caught you sleeping with that bitch Jean Willson." Ted: "I didn't sleep.." Boss: "Oh yes you did, I remember clearly what her final words were. When she before she died at the hospital, "he cheated on me, "I thought of the world of her and believed you could have been like a brother to me, but I remember who had an appointment to come see me that day and didn't show up. Jean was supposed to see me, but she went to see you instead. I truly thought the world of her as well Ted. But in the end, you fucked both of their worlds up. So stole money to make sure I had everything in place to kill you. Don't get me wrong it's not like your special or anything it just to make sure your death is equal to the suffering of my sister. I don't give a damn if you have a wire on you, and I don't give a damn if the cops are outside! killing you will be worth everything." my boss pointed a gun at me Ted: "but one thing before you kill me why try to kill the other actors and clients. Boss: "if I killed just jean then that would just have left you in prison. I had no choice but do something that was bigger something that would be considered you a threat to the world. an act that would leave you in the execution chambers, by blowing up a landmark and taking America's greats with you straight to hell." Ted: "I'm sorry about your sister I didn't mean for her to die like that but what you did has caused a lot of deaths you have to stop and surrender." Boss: "I'll pay for my sins when I meet you in hell!" he shot his gun at me 6 times in the head. But the crazy thing is I did want to believe it wasn't him. So the gin the cops gave me has no bullets. I quickly talked to him and move the gun out of his hand. The police came rushing in and arrested him. It's crazy what some people would do just for the people they care about. Society dictates that the people who are never seen could easily cripple our way of life. They could be bright and cheerful but hold the most profound madness that you honestly never noticed. Once you see it you wish you hadn't, I chose a life that caused this all to happen. Life could have decided to take me for a ride. But it all depends on action whether it's by God's will or by the choices you make in life. I chose to let the meeting happened in my house, but fate set me a better life. One of a free innocent man. The final thing I have to do in my new routine is to pay respect to the deceased. To me there the real ones that are in more pain, for as much we try we can't help but remember those who affected our lives an for some it could be good others wrong. I believe that it takes the thought of never seeing them again to want us to keep their memory alive in ways we thought they were like. [[Good Ending|beginning]]

I wasn't the sweetest person in the world, but I soon met a woman named Rebecca Snider she was everything to me, and she was the reason I got the job at S.A.G.A. she "was" my light, but one year ago she died when one of our female clients came to our house to talk about there paycheck. That client soon tried to have sex with me, until Rebecca entered and saw everything. She ran out of our home crying, and until a passing car came and ended her life.from that day, I could never forgive myself, and it seems the boss blames me for everything about his sister.
