5 Years Later...

Chapter 4

Jack was in his room playing on his PS4. He had spent the majority of his day in school. He also had a soccer tournament an hour after school, so there was a reason for him being tired.

He had a couple of Math homework assignments to do, but he figured that he would do them either tomorrow with his sister or Mohsin.

The door bell rang. Jack's sister Jasmine went to open the door.

Of course, Jack's uncle had been getting a couple of complaints from the customers lately. So he thought it was one of those people. Normally, he didn't worry about it as his sister would talk to the customers and try to settle a deal with them. This time, however, Jack's sister called him.

"What is it Jasmine?" asked Jack, as he ran downstairs.

"Jack, why are you ordering food and empty boxes?" she asked him. She then handed over a receipt.

Jack DePool

1 Lerome Pl, Teaneck, NJ 07666

"What?!" Jack questioned. "Who doing this? Who order to my house?"

Jack was fuming with anger. He couldn't believe it. It happened again. Someone had ordered food to his house as a prank.

Just then the doorbell rang again.

"I have an order for Jack DePool. It's Peck Peck Chicken. 12 Pieces of Large Hot Wings. 30 Pieces of Drumsticks, and a Chicken Strip Bowl. Is there a Jack DePool here?"

Jasmine and Jack both looked at each other.

"Every 10 minutes, there is a delivery man at our house." complained Jasmine. "Do you know who's ordering to our house?"

"I don't know," replied Jack. "I'm going to talk to the security guards at school about this and Ms. Green too."

Osaid started to a chuckle a little.

"It not funny," Jack told him. "My family got scared."

"Did they?" asked Osaid.

Jack rolled his eyes. Even after his actions and the consequences, Osaid still found the entire situation funny.

"Why you love to laugh about this?" asked Jack

"Sorry Jack," Osaid apologized.

"Why Osaid?" Jack demanded. "Why is it funny?"

"It's not..." Osaid said quietly. "Please continue."

"You see..." Jack said.

(7 years earlier...)

"So someone order to my home," Jack said to Mohsin as they were walking in the hallway.

"Do you any clue of who did it?" Mohsin asked.

"No," Jack said. "I ask Osaid if he did it, and he said it was Justin."

"And?"

"Justin said is not him and he cursed at me." explained Jack. "I have to go see Ms. Green about this. They order to my house 30 times last night."

"Damn... that must have been one heck of a night I guess. Right?" Mohsin asked. Jack could see that he was trying to turn the situation into being a positive light.

"I don't know who did it Mohsin," Jack said. "I am scared right now. What if this keeps happening again? What should I do?" 

"How about you just let them order to your house until they get tired." Mohsin advised him.  "If they see you acting like this, they will continue to order to your house."

"But Mohsin, but my parents are getting scared," Jack explained once again. "My uncle wants to report whoever is ordering the food to police."

(7 years later...)

Osaid was trying hard to not laugh. Jack rolled his eyes once again. 

"Mohsin knew about it?" Osaid asked.

"Osaid, I told him about it already." Jack reminded him. He didn't notice that Osaid was drinking an alcohol, until he sniffed the aroma of his margarita.

"Why you drink now?" asked Jack. "Are you not Muslim?"

Osaid looked down at the table.

"I don't know Jack...."
