"I really wish I could! But I'm already planning on staying in the park kinda late tonight anyway to get Brandon on the pay roll and such!" Josh said waving his hands in front of his chest nervously. Brandon looked up at Markus, who let out a slight sigh.
"Fine, getting this shrimp on the pay roll is probably more important anyway." Markus said as he squeezed Brandon in closer to him. Brandon quickly tried to struggle away from his larger friend and eventually pulled away from beside him.
"Yeah me getting money is more important!" Brandon said with an arrogant smirk. "Markus or I might've squashed you if you chilled with us anyway."
Josh looked at the ground, a little distressed. He wasn't THAT small after all. But he shook it off, knowing Brandon didn't necessarily mean what he was saying right now. Looking up at Markus, Josh figured he could give the men an assignment for the rest of the day. "Markus, could you just have Brandon shadow you until close?"

Opening the door to the break room, Josh looked out to see the backs of both Brandon and Markus on the other side of the room. Josh smiled as he walked up right up to the edge of the balcony to call them over. Something caught his eye however, as Josh leaned over the edge of the balcony and saw Brandon's discarded clothes from earlier. Josh sighed as he wished the stubborn man would have just used a locker.
THUD THUD
Josh started to lose his balance as Brandon turned around and started to walk over to his clothes. Hanging on as best he could Josh started to panic, hoping he wouldn't tumble off the balcony. As Brandon's footsteps pounded closer Josh...
