The New Yorker's Choices

Creative thinking (Part 3)

Rob was waiting at the 50s diner where he and Ethan would go to for lunch until Rob lost his job. He was at a red table sitting in a blue rotating chair. On the table he had a can of jug of soda at his table in front of him. Rob then looked at his watch and noticed it was 2:00. "Hm he should be here by now". Rob muttered to himself. Soon he heard the bell ring that indicates when a person walks through the door. He looked up and saw Ethan walking in. He looked around for Rob then turned his head to the right and saw him. Ethan then walked toward Rob and sat down in his chair. "You wanted to see me"? Ethan asked. Rob then took his jug of soda and took a sip of it. He laid down his jug and spoke. "I need your help with something". Rob said. "Well sure but why did you have to call me here couldnt you I dont know just text me"? Ethan asked. "No out of the question. We would get traced now I need you to answer this and not be freaked out". Rob said. "(sigh) Okay what is it"? Rob then whispered in his ear to what he wanted. Ethan's jaw dropped at what Rob asked. "Rob I cant.." Ethan said before getting cut off by Rob shhing him. "Rob I cant do this this is ilegal I'll get caught you'll get caught". Ethan explained. Soon a waitress walked by with a small note pad. She wore a white waitress hat from the 50s and a red apron. "What can I get for you to drink"? She asked. "Oh uh i'll just have a water please". Ethan asked. "Okay and are we ready to order"? The waitress asked. "I'll have a burger with onion rings and uh Ethan"? Rob said. "Oh uh nothing for me". Ethan said. The waitress jotted the order down on her notepad and walked off. "Ethan what I'm asking for is not much". Rob said. "Not much your asking me to commit a crime and I wont do it". Rob said. "Look Ethan all I'm asking is you watch the security cameras when we get in the building and plus you'll have a mask on no one will see your face". Rob said. "I'm sorry Rob I can't do it. It it's against my principles". Ethan said. "Yeah well your principles are going to get you to lose your job one day, because you never show yourself you never show what you can do. And when you do lose your job you'll be begging me to plan another robbery to earn some extra cash. But hey in the end its your choice". Rob said impatiently. Ethan pondered for a moment as he noticed the waitress come back with Rob's food. "Here you go sir". She said before waling off. "(Sigh) Alright i'll do it. But just this once okay? ONE time". Ethan said. "Okay fine you dont have to do it more then once. Come by later and we'll go over some plans". Rob said. "Why not here just get a piece of paper and draw on it". Ethan said. Rob nodded in agreement to what Ethan said and got out a piece of paper and a blue ballpoint pen. He drew a large rectangle and a parking lot above the rectangle. Ethan was hovering over the paper staring at what Rob was drawing. "Just letting you know you're gonna have to explain the plan to the group". Rob said while still drawing. "Uh why"? Ethan nervously asked. "Well we need to get the groups trust in you when this plan works out". Rob said. "And if it does'nt"? Ethan asked. "It will". Rob said. At that point Ethan didnt say anything and continued to drawn on the paper.

After writing on the paper Rob and Ethan left the resteraunt and went to their cars. "Alright come by the house later on, remember the address is 3023 Raymond Lane okay"? Rob said. Ethan was walking away and had his hand waving behind his head. "Okay". He said. Rob walked to his can opened the door and started the engine. He then began to drive home to the Athens house.
