Chapter 6
After passing their final security check, they moved forth to a counter to collect their earnings. The sweater gave them no more than the promised amount of five coins. There was a portrait of a fish standing on its two tail fins as if human on one side, and a number 1 on the other. Five ribes.
They moved away from the exit just enough not to be in the way of the leaving men, close enough to spot Jimmy when he came out the door. Standing there, they kept looking at the measly amount of money they received for their hard work and both knew they needed to act quick. No way they would last an entire week working like that. With that in mind, they have known looked at the people in front of them with far more respect than before – especially the children.
Waiting for Jimmy could've taken only a couple minutes, but it felt like a couple hours instead. He was with another person that time around, and introduced him as his father, Chuck. They shook hands, but due to their extreme exhaustion they didn't speak any more then, only joined in with the rest of the workers heading home.
