"Well... office and administration you'd need to be vetted, obviously." Norman replied. "Still... I could set up an interview with someone in those areas if you'd like." He suggested. "It of course depends on your ability to pass those interviews... we don't just give jobs away after all, even to former employees; you must prove you have the skills and know-how." He nodded to him. 

"But I am more than willing to give you that chance." he assured him, nodding. "I know what it must be like... it must be terrible, and I'm glad you're back from all that hell." he told him honestly, giving him a smile. 

"Humility is a virtue, whether board member or former scarer. l'm grateful if only to not deal with a long application process. To wait for a call back, to then arrange one, while putting in elsewhere to start the process in the event it doesn't work..." he said, more annoyed than worried.

"I have confidence if you get me an interview, I have a fair shot. Be it IT, HR, even secretary. I appreciate your help, sir... and your sympathy." he smiled.

"Of course." He nodded in response. "I just can't fast track you after all... I hope you realize that." he sighed. "Anyway, you're very welcome." He nodded. "I will contact one of my HR reps to get you an interview... shall we say in a week?" he asked. "Or would you prefer earlier?" he inquired, his smile friendly and reassuring. 

"I can also try to look into this Sheen Mason as well." He offered. "While I may not know him, I can at least look into his address, and see if he still resides there; given it's been 12 years... I'm not sure he still lives there or not." he sighed, giving him another sympathetic look. 

El Chupacabra smiled "As early as possible, I am not desperate but understandably eager." he neither wanted pity or to look pitiful. "I feel er... you will have paperwork to handle with this, sir." his eyes moved around, he didn't want to leave yet, nor to get on this helpful board member's bad side.

"You are too kind, yes... if you want to, any clues about me. That said." he gestured to the terminal. "With you taking this over, I would make my leave without trouble... but my parents live far away, and Sheen is in question. I would appreciate keeping my nest or, some kind of place to go if I must make my exit from the facility."

"I can accelerate it to four days." he said, giving him a nod. "I'll make sure they have the information they need but if possible... update and submit your resume." he smiled. "As for your nest... if it's out of sight, it won't be touched; is it in the vents somewhere?" he asked, looking about him. "If it's not anywhere obvious, that's fine." he reassured him, reiterating the facts. 

"I only hope I've managed to help you... if you must take your leave, so be it. Here's my card." he pulled out a card from a holder on his waist. "Call me if you need me, all right?" he asked, dipping his head before straightening back up. 

El Chupacabra nodded along, "Fantastic. I will... er. The library...?
Or if you could grant me access? If you are willing to overlook my nesting... could you provide approval to come and go? Limited is all I ask, even if not to the systems. Enough I can access my nest in the vents and walk the insecure areas... not be so alone, as I was. Send a memo, perhaps?" he took the card, "I will. If it is you who needs me, I will call you if my nest changes. Right now it is above the break room." he noted. "It may aid your search to know my... legal name, wouldn't it?" the Chupacabra chuckled a bit. Clearly in high spirits.

"Well... I'm not sure I can grant you unlimited access without an escort until you're a company employee." He stated. "I do have authority to do some things, but that I need consensus from the board." he explained. "Where did you nest before when you worked here?" he inquired. "And I would assume it's harmless I just... again, if I'm sending a memo out, it means more will be aware of your presence, and I am accountable to my fellow board members." He nodded. "I hope you see it from my perspective." 

"As for your legal name, I think it would." He nodded. "Given I wasn't around the company in your time, I'd be able to assist in your search a lot easier knowing it." He looked down, his expression warm but contemplative. 

El Chupacabra nodded along, "...Of course, you can only do so much." he said. "Yes, I will continue lurking... I will find a way, and take care of what I need to in this difficult phase." he nodded. "Tonight I will update the resume, then tomorrow start preparing for interview."

"I didn't need for a nest when I worked, I went to the break room or home." he was confused but didn't do much to show it. "Think on any solutions, and inform me if conditions change, alright?" he smiled. "The name is Guadalupe Gutiérrez."

"I would say that works, yes." He nodded, offering another smile. "I'm sorry there wasn't more information on this guy, but I think we're getting closer to solving this mystery. Ah yes... so you had a home back then. No doubt it's been sold at this stage or repossessed." He sighed. "Just... make sure you check in with security if you're going to move around the factory, all right? Despite being a former employee, you'll still need an escort until you're hired back on." He explained. 

"Guadalupe Gutierrez." He repeated, letting the name roll off his tongue. "All right... I'll see what I can find on my end; employee files might not be enough though; I may have to look elsewhere to see what else I can dig up on you." He explained. 

The smaller monster nodded. "That I will." he nodded. "I don't intend on trouble, only you know. Just where I need to be." he nodded again. "Whatever help you can give." he smiled. "If you are confident in finding him, then I can have confidence in you." he hrmed. "You are confident I can get hired back on. Good..." he smiled a bit more.

"Shall I take off to the library then, sir?" he asked, "Or have you anything further to ask me?" his nose wiggled...

"Let me get you an escort." He urged, going back to the computer. "I'll ping security and have them meet us here. I need to do some research myself, so just hang around until they show up, all right?" he asked, looking over to him. "I want to make sure policy is followed, after all." He began tapping away at the keyboard again, pulling up some files and emailing them to himself so he could access them later on. He needed to get to the bottom of other matters, as too many things were happening around here, and they needed to be solved. Too many coincidences, and he wasn't sure how El Chu fit into all of that. 

He sighed, "Very well... sir." he said the word with a bit of sass this time, growing more... perhaps friendly with him, more trusting that he didn't need to be nervous.

"Especially in your position, yes... as best we can." he nodded. "Oh. Please return that ID card to Weylon, if you would." he pointed at the card which belonged to this Mr. Slimers, that he had used to gain access originally.

"Thank you greatly, for your time." Now he was left to wait for Norman, and to get his escort, so he could get to work on that resume...

He smirked over to Chupacabra's slight sass, giving him a nod as he continued his searching and pulling of files. He glanced to the card, an unsettled feeling passing over him. "Yes... I will ensure it gets back to him. Don't... steal from other employees, please." he said, looking to him seriously. "It's... he might be going out of his mind that he lost his card; it's not typically a big deal here, but I understand it can be distressing to others as well." He said. "I understand you're desperate, but please reach out if you need assistance." 

"You're welcome." He contnued, seeing a security officer show up now. "All right... as said, please, call me if you need me." he said, dipping his head to him again. "It was nice meeting you... and I'd like to get to the bottom of your predicament... I sincerely do would." 

"Yes sir." Chupacabra replied about stealing, "Won't happen again!"[/b] he promised with a gentle smile. He didn't need to make excuses, Norman had his trust at this point, he looked to the security officer, "Hello." he greeted, then turned to Norman again. "I have no reason to doubt that." he smiled. "Mysteries are fun when they aren't yours." he scoffed. "See you around."


Chupacabra made his exit...
