Chapter 285 – Fest 3
Fest 3
Before he could explain a staff member sneered, "What do you mean? You should know what you are trying to imply. And how could you neglect the consequences?" The man put his brush away.
When they received invitation for the tea, the staff member remarked bullshit against the owner in front of the morning shift staff.
All of them were enraged at his remarks. They would have complained but he immediately apologized. Now he was again spitting out his shitty thoughts.
The museum was going through hard times. And the people were trying to create disgust for each other. Some of them disliked this behavior and they were not afraid to show their hatred for the evil staff members.
Orin put his brush aside. He was invested in the boiling accuse. Although none of them openly blamed with big words still Orin should know the dishonest person to eliminate him.
Thinking this he decided to note down their actions. Currently it was unclear which one of them was working against museum. One of the staff saw two of them glaring each other he spoke to calm them down, "It is not good that we as the gallery staff wash our laundry in the square." He wanted to meditate the matter without dragging further.
Both men heard his sober words, they nodded picking up brush and started working again. The painting was half done however all of the panels were incomplete. One might not understand the theme in first glance.
Orin got disappointed since they resumed painting as if everything was fine again. "I never painted what if I ruined the panel?" Orin put the brush and asked staff member sitting beside. The expressionless staff member blinked, he was truly doing his panel with all attention.
"I thought the same but you see; once you focus for what you want to give impression through the colors, you will be able to paint it." The man answered honestly. His words seemed more robotic than the words of human having some emotional experience.
Orin nodded and picked his brush, he thought to focus for the theme in his mind. It was supposed next pose from the previous panel. The previous panel showed that a little kid was leaping to catch the butterfly. The empty panel in front of Orin should bring the next part of the theme.
It was type of silent scene which has meaningful impression till the last panel.
The first panel was in front of the second man who accused the first staff. He depicted a small family stepping in the open garden.
It was simple scene and now he was using colors to make it come alive in the scene although he was not good at the perfect proportions of the family members and their appearance.
The next staff member let the second panel depict, the small boy walked toward the wild geese. In the next panel woman opened the picnic basket and spread the sitting cloth.
In the third panel male character in the painting went toward the small pound. He was going to capture fish for the lunch. The theme was very simple just like the attention of the painters.
Orin thought about the theme for few moments but then he shook his head. His eyes gave glint because of his sudden revelation. The idea stuck his head to critically observe the panels of others. Seeing the faces of the staff members, it was clear that he would not be able to point out anything much less to capture dishonest staff.
By doing painting it impossible. However observing the panels of others could give some insight of their real motives.
He wanted to admire his brain for this genius idea but it was not suitable time. There was no problem if he painted or not. Others didn't point him out to do the painting.
Orin stood up to take a look at the panels. He one by one observed those panels. It took time because in the first glance all panels seemed harmless. He glanced first panel then at the temporary painter. He showed family on the picnic spot.
Orin felt strange because the expressionless man was not really smiling, there were no easy expressions that could tell that his painting can be harmless. But it was true. The simple and small family on the picnic spot, it was what he painted.
Same went with the next panel. Slowly Orin was getting nervous. The idea to observe panel was near to face failure without bringing goodness.
He sat again on the empty seat. His brain tried hard to decode some difference in the panels. "It is the first ever that I used this much brain cells. How I am going to compensate." He murmured in low tone.
Unlike staff members Orin showed how disappointed he feeling. Simply because he was in habit to show his expressions.
He looked his reflection in the extra fine wooden table. He could see his face showing what was running in his head. He thought to slap those expressionless staff members and tell how to show expressions.
This thought made him stunned again. He caught the idea. "If their faces are expressionless I should see what type of expressions their panels could depict." It was his last effort.
It was mere idea which believed that would not work in the end however he was supposed to try it. There was nothing else which could turn up his bad day.
He began observing from the very first panel. For his surprise the eyes of the family carried strange fear. All of them had different deep expressions. Orin got stunned to see this.
The light of hope resumed in his head. He was sure to decode what were the attentions of the staff members. He immediately thought that perhaps the staff member who started this panel had criminal thoughts in his head.
There was no use to compare expressions with his painted face. It would only bring stress again.
Orin saw the family reaching at the picnic spot. The male character had different set of deep thoughts. It was not readable in one glance.
The woman showed careless attitude toward children as well as the man. She had dry thoughts perhaps in her head. The small girl and the boy carried their lovable toy in their hands yet their grip on the toys showed that they were afraid of something.
Orin sighed to see this. Now he could tell that there was really some theme going on in the panels. He turned toward the next panel. His brain never worked so hard, not in the homework either.
The next panel had the woman. She was spreading the sitting cloth however her eyes were drifting toward the man. The expressions this time showed disgust in her eyes for the man.
She seemed blood enemy of the male character in the painting.
From her expressions Orin stood agape. He thought that perhaps this second panel painter was dishonest against the museum. But he decide to check other panels as well.
He moved toward third panel. He apparently looked like busy with the fish hunt yet he carried killing intentions. It was hard to tell whether these killing intentions were for the woman.
Orin flashed his eyes at the third panel, now in his eyes this staff member with the third panel had bad intentions for the museum.
It was getting confusing when he casted glance at the fourth panel. It should have been easy mood of the children, they appeared scared in the first panel yet in the Fourth panel there eyes were red blood as if they hate each other.
Their hands almost crumpled their foamy toys. Orin gulped deep breath. He was slowly getting appointed. When he saw fifth panel, it was same. The girl caught butterfly, apparently it looked soft yet her stuff hands broke the wings of the butterfly.
The things became confusing. He sat on the chair to evaluate what was difference in the panels. All of them had weird expressions. They all seemed dishonest toward the museum. Now it was more than tough to find the criminal because it was unlikely that all of the gallery staff happened to be dishonest.
Orin wanted to cry and ask Albert or the young player for help however team head strictly warned. He wanted all of the team members to work diligently. Golden clue for the next task could make their job easier but for this they had to do the fest as best as they could.
There were total twelve suspected staff members. The other two teams were also busy to find out the disloyal staff members.
Eight gallery staff members were sitting on the particular table. Orin being the eighth member had the worst expressions on his face. He wanted to pin down each of them and ask who was disloyal.. In his eyes the detective should have given some rights to torture these staff members.
