I'm a Rooster and he is the Hero

The year is 2022, the city of Marikina is unraveling its busy streets and clusters of people going to their daytime destination. At one of the largest business firm buildings lays two distinct individuals.

"What are you a highschooler?!", shouted by the manager to a newly recruit about a trusted paperwork yesterday. Manager Jacob with his daily rounds of reprimanding and supervising his district.

He is known as the Hammer of the Orient Pearl. He is life set on success when learn to decided at the age of One.
He learned advanced mathematics and business ethics at the age of 5 which applied to a monopoly of lemonade stands under his name and leadership
His climb to society didn't failed his later name. Graduating with Highest Honors to Summa cum Laude at Business Entreprenuership and Multimedia Marketing branching out to Financial and Operations Management.
And at his 28 years of living at this Earth. He truly rise competing to developed countries

The newly recruit James is shunned,
James a normal offspring of a normal parenthood. Attended normal public to normal private school when his normal parents worked their blood and sweat to a normal job.
And now as the breadwinner of the family of Garcia. He is gonna work to provide for his little brother and sister's tuitions. *Wow the parents decided to get heated again

With the atmosphere in the manager's favorite, James took a deep breathe and leveled his voice of pure positivity and shining attitude.
"I will do my very best. I deeply apologized!", James replied to the morning crow.

yet determined to make things right. Impressing Jacob for a whole minute,
and the manager's room boomed with his roar of reprimanding as the newly recruit exits the room.

"So early in the morning", one staff said as James walked nonfazed with sweat. "Haha kid, you're unnatural. You took it headon", the staff again.
The staff told James about the normal routine of Manager Jacob. As the hammer from a smith bangs to the heated steel, it gets pound and pound into a fine weapon. That's the vibe given to the manager's staffs and floor.
And James continued into his cubicle to install GrammarBoy to fix his paperwork.

------------------------------------------------------------
At the time of noon, Manager Jacob got a meeting to his colleague working lower than him. Down by a floor of the building is the district of Manager Assistant Nathan James Lappon.
The meeting is done and Manager Jacob is ready to leave, but Nathan interrupted his routinely exit. He insisted smoke break.

Though Manager Jacob doesn't smoke, he got green tea for a time being. Nathan is at the middle of his smoking while chanting a conversation at the break room.
"And if you just simply vouch for me,--" Nathan is pitching when interrupted by the Jacob.

"James, this is not my scope of responsibilities and taking into account our relationship as being students of the same mantra and school. I may say you need to prove to have the position done by it being...given to you right James?",
Manager Jacob threw his tin can at the recycling bin and head his leave.

"He still calls me by my second name, never my given name", disappointed at his failed vouching. His newly Damdung phone rang.

---------------------------------------------

It is 4pm. One of Manager Jacobs motto is early rise and early dawn. Insisting every time matters for inside and outside of the individuals' work.

Manager Jacob walks with other employees. The newly recruited James sprinted to the exiting crowd to the manager to give his paper.
"I have taken all of your advice and rants, I mean advices. I revised and advance my tasked paperworks to be presented to Manager Jacob!". James said at the walking crowd.

This stopped Manager Jacob and looking at his passionate eyes. He tooked a look at the first page. At the back, Assistant Manager Jacob on his phone going towards them.

"It could use some more positive introduction, its too robotic yet the message is clear." Manager Jacob said as he took the folder. "Let's end work for today recruit", mumbling not getting his new staff's name.

The assistant manager barge into them outside into the vehicle of Manager Jacob.

One smirk and a couple of guys in motorcycles rushed at the back of the vehicle in the afternoon breeze.
One pushed
One got pushed
And one got shot
Gunshots were given to the Manager Jacob.

In the manager's dying moments he saw two people at the same level as the second his vision got pitched black.

And in that darkness, a light shines
