The Hunter's horrid prank

So I was sitting there. In the big meeting room. Everyones eyes peeled onto me. Because I'm the second in command here. The CEO of a glass making company. It’s march 31th. one day before April fools day. The owner of the company, and my best friend Cody Delaet wants to pull a massive prank. On Elon Musk. I advised against it but once an idea is in his head. He doesn’t stop. He walks into the room oblivious to the stares and glares he is receiving because he is 10 minutes late to his own meeting. He then says “ alright team. I have handpicked you all. This meeting is for a special april fools prank on Tesla. Planned for one day away when we have a shipment of glass that took four months to make. It must be important because Elon is overseeing it personally.” Bob then says “ Boss are you sure u wanna do this?” Cody replies “ Get out. If you're not 100% your 0%.” Bob looked kinda glad to be removed from the meeting. Cody then says “Christian I want you to instead of putting the custom glass in there I want you to break a trash piece.” I replied “ sounds good”.

So then Cody tells 3 other people to follow me down to the storage room where we hold Elons glass. While we're waiting for one of the people to get the glass from the back I decide to strike up a conversation with the other two. One's name is Dylan. He seems friendly. Almost too happy to be put on a mindless task like this. The other, whose name I just learned was named Hunter was quite the opposite. He is a very blunt person. In other words he wasn’t very fond of this task. He isn’t a very “team” player. 

Then Noah the warehouse manager, who went to find the glass returns with the large package on a forklift. I look to my side at the piles of identical boxes of trashed glass and say “ well at least we can relieve that stress.” With a grin on my face I ask Dylan to grab 4 bats and Hunter to help Noah and I, load on an old box on the forklift. We get right to work.

Once we take the package off the forklift and into Dylans truck bed we head to the fields behind the office. We unload the boxes onto the ground opening one. Lets just say we had a field day smashing the glass. Dylan didn’t break too much but on the other end Hunter was going annoyingly wild smashing and screaming. Dylan had a facial expression that read “what the heck is this guy doing?” Noah decides to not use his bat but goes in with his steeltoe boots stomping away. I was just pounding away with a baseball bat making me relive my high school baseball days. I can’t lie, my back really hurts after all that smashing.  We then sweep as much of the broken glass back into the box as possible and reseal it. We then drive back to the warehouse. I call Cody with an update and he replies “good work guys. You only have an hour of work left why don’t yall just head home for the night.” Hunter looks happy as ever and before I even hang up he is in his van with the window down hollering “see ya losers!” After I hang up Dylan, Noah, and I say our goodbyes and head out the back door.

The big day is finally here. Sorta. Cody comes in and says “Yall ready for your flight?” Hunter has a look of pure confusion on his face. The first time ive ever agreed with him. We all say “huh?” He says “don’t worry yall. You leave in 2 hours with me in our private jet. We take both boxes. Surprise Elon at the Tesla headquarters and we fly back in time for yall to be home for dinner.” I say “okay in a sigh kind of voice.” 

We all packed up into Hunter's dirty minivan headed to the airport. Hunter at the wheel (Which by the way scares me) with Cody next to him leaving Dylan, Noah and I cramped up in the back. 

Once we made it to the airport we went through security and got on our plane. I will admit, Cody did not disappoint. The Jet was lovely. It had 10 luxury seats, a mini fridge and wifi. It was luxurious. After what felt like 10 minutes we made it to the headquarters. Once we made it Elon greeted us in fashion driving up in his personal Tesla. He hops out and gives Cody a tight hug saying “ ah thank you for making this. It's gonna be amazing.” He and Cody walk off and Elon turns and tells us to take the boxes to the warehouse and that he will be there soon. 

We walked into the tesla warehouse and man was it impressive. It was as large as our entire building. Every single worker had a smile on their face. The manager Darrel walks us over to a room we can set up the display of the glass for Elon. Dylan grabs the box and opens it. I knew something was wrong as soon as he opened the box. He says “Christian are you sure we broke the right glass?” He then pulls out a cracked peice of glass and I realized. We didn’t break the trash piece. We trashed the custo, tesla glass. My vision went blurry and I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. Hunter then turns and says “ well you messed up. No doubt. Have fun getting fired.” He then sits down and laughs. Dylan says “we can explain this to Cody I’m sure he will understand.” Noah says “ I don’t think this is good guys.” I reply “ guys ill take the blame. It was my fault.” 

Right when I finish my sentence the door opens and Elon and Cody walk in. Cody says “what happened” with a face pale as a ghost. I started to ramble my excuse but I was suddenly interrupted by Hunter. He says “ boss don’t be mad, but when I grabbed the boxes to do our April fools prank on Elon that you wanted we broke the wrong piece. It's my fault.” I was shocked. He has never shown sympathy. Never. Cody lost it. He screamed “GET OUT!” Them Elon lost it “WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT TO EVEN TRY AND PRANK ME. YOU RUINED MY PROJECT. JOHN GET THEM OUT.” We were rushed to our plane by his assistant John. 

Once we got on the plane Cody fired Hunter. We were all grateful for what Hunter has done.
