Channel 18 Episode 1

“You’re Kai’s slave now Akira.” Yuki said grinning. Itsumi nudged him and Kai went on speaking.

Suddenly the door opened and two more people walked in. A tall man with a bandana walked into the conference room. He had long black hair that reached his shoulders. He lugged a huge camera around and set it on the table. Following him was a shorter male about Akira and Mine’s age. He had short scarlet hair. He glared at the interns and sat next to them.
“These are the cameramen Akira and Mine.” Kai said. He pointed to the black haired one. “That is Skah.” He then pointed to the other person. “And that is Cree Codine, one of the best cameramen in Ameyawa.”

Cree sighed and kicked his feet up on the desk. Akira glared at him.

“Ratings have been terribly low and we need something new” He picked up the Bichon Frise and placed the dog on the podium.

DEAD SILENCE

“What do you think we should do Fresh?” He asked the Bichon Frise.

“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT” Akira screamed.

Skah snickered and so did everyone else. Cree continued to ignore him.

Kai shot him a glare and Akira’s eyes swelled up. “You can speak now Fresh?”

The dog let out a tiny whimper. Kai cocked his head. The dog started to bark. Kai looked at Tennosuke.

“Fresh wants us to do late night infomercials.” Tennosuke said. His deep voice startled everyone. He kept his arms crossed.

“Oh my god” Mine said to herself “We have a freaking dog whisperer.”

“So we will do infomercials then?” Kai asked. “Well that will be all, meeting adjourned.”

Akira slammed his head on the table of the conference room. “What the hell have I put myself in? I really am in hell.”

“I expect no more trouble from you anymore Akira.” Kai said in his ear.

Skah whistled. “Looks like the boss hates you.” Cree got up and left the room. “You are going to be dead meat.” He said slamming the door.

“This is so insane.” Akira said with his head in his arms.

“Welcome to Channel 18 Akira.” Skah said patting Akira on the back. “Please don’t die.”

“Don’t you think its weird taking orders from a dog?” Akira asked Itsumi. She was making dinner for everyone.

“No, not really. That dog has more intellect than any of us.”

“Itsumi, we are the only people in Ameyawa who have a dog that barks out orders.”

“But that is what makes us unique.”

“Is there anyone else that works here that is…Odd in any way shape or form?”

“Yes, there is one more person you have to meet.”

“Can you tell me what this person is like? Kind of like a warning, or a heads up.”
