~Vanoss POV~

"Evan you need a new name," Victoria said as she turned on the coffee maker.

"What's wrong with my name."

"They're looking for an Evan and you need to get a job soon."

"A job really," I groaned.

"Yes, we don't use fairy dust to power the lights."

"Good point so I guess my new name will be Vanoss."

"Vanoss," she said followed with a giggle.

"Yup that's me now."

~Time skip to the next day~

"Vanoss there's a job opening at the mine, get dressed and let's go see if they will hire you," Victoria shouted through my door.

"Okay give me a few minutes," I shouted back at her and walked over to my dresser. I grabbed a red plain T-shirt, new pair of boxers, and dark blue jeans. I took off my Pj's and changed into my new outfit. I walked out of my room into the bathroom and did my hair up.

"Vanoss come on," screamed Victoria.

"Coming," I hollered back at her. I dashed the stairs slipped into my red converse.

"Alright let's go," chirped Victoria. After one long walk down the almost empty road we arrived to a busy mine.

"I'll wait here," Victoria said nudging me over to the huge factory. I took a deep breathe and walked over to the factory. I was greeted at the door by a cheery guy with a British accent.

"I'm here for the interview," I chirped.

"Well with that attitude I would hire you in a second," said the British male.

"Wait what!?!"

"Oh oops I forgot to introduce myself again. I'm Mini the owner of this mine."

"Well hello Mini I'm Vanoss," I said with a smile.

"Well come up to my office let's get you started for your job tomorrow." I followed him past the people working on sorting valuables from rocks. After we passed them we reached the end of the factory and yellow metal stairs stuck to the wall. Mini walked up them and I followed him closely.

"Alright here's my office and you get to meet my friends too," Mini said with excitement. He pushed open a shiny metal door open and inside was a group of guys eating, at the middle of the back wall stood a sturdy dark oak desk, and file cabinets lined the room.

"Who's this Mini," bellowed a tall guy.

"Oh this Vanoss a new miner. He seemed "cool" enough to hang out with us."

"Well let me introduce everyone loud mouth over there is Wildcat, short squeaker next to him is Lui. Other tall guy next to Lui is our potato loving Dathi, across from them is silent Moo and best Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator is Brian." They all waved and began to talk about different things. Mini went behind his desk and pulled out a thin book.

"Alright Mr. Vanoss just read this and let's go grab your required unform," Mini said while holding back a laugh. I couldn't help but to laugh at his sudden seriousness and it was followed by everyone joining in. Slowly the pain of missing him started to disappear.

"Okay in all seriousness we need to get your uniform."

"Lead the way," I said stepping out of his way. He walled down the stairs and took a right staying near the wall as machinery hummed as it did it's task. I can hear thumps and lively gossip from the workers.

"Hey Vanoss," Mini shouted.

"Oh hi Mini," I said sheepishly.

"I called your name like ten times you've got to pay attention if your going into the mines."

"It won't happen again I swear."

"Okay, so try this hard hat and goggles on." I tried them on and they fit perfectly.

"Good now here's the rest of your uniform," he said as he handed me a lifeless grey uniform on a wire hanger.

"Thank you so much Mini."

"Your very welcome now rest up and come tomorrow at 7:30 sharp," he stated with a big grin.

"Okay bye Mini."

"Bye Vanoss."

~Timeskip Three Years Later~

I walked into the office because Mini called for me immediately. I jumped up the stairs and walked into his office.

"What's up Mini," I chirped.

"Shut the door Vanoss," Mini said while gritting his teeth. I shut it and sat in front of him on a comfy blue chair.

"What's troubling you Mini," I asked with concern.

"A few years back there was a little battle between the two richest men. No one knows what it was over but it doesn't matter because it ended as quickly as it began. So we all thought now we've got news that they have declared war against each other."

"Sorry to but in but where do I fit in all of this."

"It's mainly about wealth and territory but rumor has it that one of the guys thinks the other one kidnapped his son Evan Fong. I did some research on the kid and noticed similarities pop up.
So Vanoss I did some digging on you and your name and no one has that same name as you. Except when I hired you. Then I took a look for a missing person that fit your description. Sure enough there was one person that fit your description. Evan Fong." My heart stopped beating and felt sick.

"So you really are Evan Fong?" I nodded and wished the floor would eat me up.

"Don't worry your secret is safe with me," he said with a forced laugh.

"Is that all you wanted to call me out," I snapped at him.

"Oh no no I just wanted to see if I was right and if I was I will tell you a stupid but life ruining secret," he stated.

"I now must know this secret," I said with sarcasm.

"Well I'm gay and I may have fallen for Wildcat."

"That's it," I said with a chuckle.

"With that secret revealed I lose my job and forced to go to war."

"That's a bit extreme," I grumbled.

"Yup," he said after he sipped his coffee.

"So truce?"

"Truce."
