VOICE MESSAGE
Johnathan waited behind the wall for a couple of minutes, tapping his feet on the ground and whistling the melodies of songs he could remember. He did this to pass the time and distract himself from how long he's been waiting and would have to wait for Dr. Willstrum.Not long after, just as he planned, Dr. Willstrum came out of the office building and when Johnathan looked closer he saw that his Course Advisor and lecturer wore a look that shows he was ready to leave the premises.From the look of things, Dr. Willstrum was done with what he came to his office for and at the moment didn't have anything else to do there. As such, he got into his car and drove off.Once the car had turned around and was driving away, Johnathan came out of hiding. He watched the back of Dr. Willstrum's car driving into the horizon until it completely vanished from his sight."Good, he's gone," Johnathan said to himself then looked at the entrance of the building with a prepared expression."It's finally t
ELIZABETH MONROE
Listening to the saved voice messages was the closest equivalent Johnathan had to checking Dr. Willstrum's chats but because he couldn't do that, Johnathan had to settle for this. At the back of his mind, Johnathan wasn't expecting much as this was an office landline after all. He had a feeling that most of the messages would be about office-related stuff, however, he hoped that there was at least something he could get out of this.He didn't want everything he's done so far to be a complete waste of time.[You have seven undeleted voice messages] said the voice from the landline."Hmm, seven's not that many but it's not nothing either. Anyway, let's hear them" Johnathan said then pressed the button to play the messages.The messages played from most recent to oldest which meant that listening to them was like going back in time, sort of.The first five were regular voice messages sent from colleagues of Dr. Willstrum. Nothing about the messages seemed fishy or related to what Johnat
DOUBLE CHECK
Completely satisfied with himself and his little side quest, Johnathan looked around the office, making sure that everything was how it was when he first came in, and when he saw that everything was good, he left for the exit.He got to the door and used his ear to press against it. He tried listening to if there were footsteps or chatter of someone or people talking outside but he couldn't hear any definitive.The buzzing sounds of the split Air Conditioners outside were drowning any useful sounds he was looking for which felt frustrating.The same sound that he once appreciated because it flooded the sound of him unlocking Dr. Willstrum's office door when he first came in was now an inconvenience to him.Johnathan wasn't sure if there was nobody there or if the person there was standing and being quiet but regardless of both possibilities, he needed a way to double-check before even deciding to open that door. He didn't want to bump into that janitor lady or worse someone even more
DRY CLEANING
Johnathan already knew what he was going to wear ahead of time. He had planned it a while ago hence why he sent the outfit to the dry cleaners for proper maintenance.He could have paid money for express service which meant he would have received his package the same day he gave it to them but Johnathan preferred receiving his outfit the day of.Doing that meant the outfit would still be in pristine condition when he wears it later in the evening. Whereas, receiving it days before raises the chance of the outfit getting a bit rumpled, stained by something in the air, having some lint, or possibly running into some humidity problems.He couldn't have that, not when he plans to wear the said outfit to see Diana Dane who he was indebted to for not only being his friend when he needed one but taking him to the hospital when he collapsed which is what started the change he went through from a poor orphan boy adopted by crazy people to the heir of the Cross family fortune.If Diana hadn't ta
FURIOUS
Enraged by the devastating condition of his outfit which was even more infuriating considering the fact that he had looked forward to receiving it for the past couple of days, Johnathan squeezed the outfit and rushed downstairs.He went straight for the landline and then called the gatekeeper who answered immediately.["Sir, again, I want to say thank you for the bottle of wine. I'm having a sip of it right now and I'm blown away by the taste. This bottle alone is a big motivation for me to work harder so that I can one day be worth a fraction of what you—"] the gatekeeper said enthusiastically but an impatient Johnathan cut him off."Keep quiet for a moment, will you? I didn't call you to talk about some stupid wine" Johnathan said angrily and the gatekeeper swallowed his words.This was the first time Johnathan was talking to him in such a manner. If Jack had been the one who spoke to him like that then the gatekeeper wouldn't have found it strange as Jack had made it clear on every
COINCIDENCE
Johnathan shrugged “Nothing serious, but you I guess,” he said and Jack responded with a mean frown. “And what the heck are you two bozos looking at me for?! Got something you want to say to me or have both your eyes started to act out of wack?!” Jack reproached, the anger from within his soul oozing right of out his pores.It was like he had become a ravaging beast that would be set off by the slightest poke and Johnathan’s actions and words were just barely riding the thin line between being too much to push him over the edge and not enough to keep him where he was— a raging monsterGeorge who didn’t know why the young adult was so angry the moment he walked into the living room flicked his eyes from left to right, nervously, and Jack quickly pointed at him.“Hey you, what’s wrong with your eyes?! Why are they moving all over the place? Got something you want to say too or are you going to leave all the talking to your master or boyfriend— whatever you two want to call your relatio
CRYSTAL CLEAR LAUNDRY SERVICE COMPANY
The thoughts that went through Johnathan's mind reignited his anger for what was done to his outfit, and so, without wasting any more time, he brought out his phone from his pocket and put out a call to the laundry company whose services he had used. Just like days ago when he had first called the same company to request their service, this time as well, they answered very fast. Their quick response was one of the things that drew him to wanting them to take care of his laundry in the first place as he trusted that they would do a good job. In hindsight, that was a really terrible idea but there was nothing he could do about it now. After all, the damaged had already been done.After the first two rings, he was speaking to someone from the company.["Good morning, this is Melvin with the Crystal Clear laundry service company. How may we be if service to you today? Oh, before you speak, please allow me to inform you that we're having a special discount service so if you would like to
COMPENSATION
Melvin who knew how bogus that excuse of his was and how hard it was to believe cleared his throat. ["I know it sounds a bit far fetched because delivery is the part of the service process where the clothes has less human interaction and so it's condition should be maintained—"] Melvin said but Johnathan cut him off."Well there's that but there's also the fact that the package or should I say the box my outfit came in was in prestine condition when it was delivered. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the actual product inside, but I digress. The only way something like this could happen is if the delivery person took out the outfit on purpose, ripped it apart and then arranged it back inside before continuing with the delivery." Johnathan said, his frown growing more and more.["Umm, well, though I hate to admit it, that sounds like the timeline of what happened after the package left our company building, sir"] Melvin said and after a moment of silence from Johnathan, the begrunt
DESCRIPTION
["I was told you were asking about me"] Fredrick said, sounding a bit annoyed. ["Hmm, yes I was and that's for a whole 'nother very big issue, but first, what happened to you?"] Melvin asked, making Johnathan's ear which was pressed against his earphone to perk up. ["About this…"] *Smacks tongue* ["I was on my way to an address for a delivery when this garbage truck blocked the road. Because they were taking the whole road and wasting everyone's time, I decided to take a detour, a short cut, only for me to be jumped by these strange dudes"] Fredrick said and Melvin grunted.["What do you mean?"] Melvin asked, matching Johnathan's thoughts.["I mean, these random dudes jumped me and my bike. They pulled me down, stole my uniform, my wallet, my phone, the company assigned motorcycle and the delivery I was supposed to make. Because they stole my wallet and phone, I wasn't able to call anyone or pay for a ride back here, so I had to walk. Once I got back, I heard the cleaners saying tha
HEIGHT AND LENGTH
[“He had a slim build which made his uniform a bit bigger than body”] the gatekeeper said.‘Still doesn’t sound like anything has changed’ Johnathan thought then furrowed his brow when the gatekeeper stoped talking.“What is it? Why did you stop talking and giving more descriptions?” Johnathan asked.[“Oh, you wanted more? Sorry about that sir so please allow me to continue. His… Umm… I can’t even remember what descriptions I’ve given. If you don’t mind sir, which description do you want to hear?”] the gatekeeper askedJohnathan palmed his face for a few seconds and then sighed.He said “You still haven’t said how tall he was or how long his hair was. His eye color as well, you haven’t said anything about that” [“Oh, that’s right. Forgive me sir, I’ll try and remember…”] The gatekeeper said and then paused for a moment to think before continuing [“I didn’t look at the delivery person long enough to remember his eye color so I can’t tell you what it is with full certainty but as for h
