chapter 22 jay

"Jay"

"Mr Welsh.." my heart started to pound and as fast like it was about to pull into my throat.

"Right we need a meeting"

"Okay sir. When?"

"Now would be best.. come to my office in 5? Yes?"

"Yes sir" Mr welshs tone was stern, he shoulder off and I noticed my colleges heads popping up and down staring at me.. them 5 mins seemed a life time, completely unsure what this meeting was for or about I have no idea what I should take...

I could see Mr Walsh sitting at his desk and my feet felt heavier and heavier as I got closer, my palms were sweating and my breathing was quickening.

"Jamie come in sir"

"Mr Welsh.."

"Right we have some things to discuss.. but first have you heard from lonan?"

"No sir.."

"Have you tried?"

"No sir.. he told me not too and I think he needs this holiday"

"Yes yes yes... Right well as Lonan is away. I need you to go help Linda his pa "

"With what sir?"

"She has the documents I need you to help her and report back to me by end of play today"

"Okay sir.." I knew it was time for me to leave his office.

Strolled up to Linda's desks she was making a call, there was a few piles stacked up folder after folder..

"Linda. Mr Welsh has asked me to come organise you?"

"Organise??? No help me while Mr Smith is away..." her tone was unpleasant and rude to me

"Yes.. he said to help.. "

"Right... to help not organise.. Let's get that straight. here take these.. ill be doing these" she pushed a pile of blue folders & green folders across to me

"What are they?" I asked knowing I won't be leaving on time.

"Call records and dates... on front of the folders I've dated so can you go through them and highlight the dates?"

"Your kidding me?"

"No Jay I'm not. I can tell Mr Welsh you can't do it?" She started to tap her key board.

"No no it fine.. thanks" I heard her mutter under her voice at me but I just kept walking gritting my teeth.

Everyone were looking over the partition boards as I walked back to my desk holding the folders.. annoyed at the fact I have been asked to do this when a apprentice should be.. slamming the folders down I went to lunch first.

Sitting in the pub with the boys moaning about today.. the anger was building up and tightening my chest.

"Highlighting times and dates your kidding me?"

"No I'm not kidding.. Have you heard from Lonan?"

"No mate nothing.... No idea why he's disappeared?"

"God knows. He's clearly unstable...or its Sarah messed him up.... alex"

"Alex.. what you know Jay?" Danny instantly quizzed me

"....they got together"

"Huh when?"

"Few weeks ago... I just caught on to them .. Clare didn't know either, "

"But isnt she engaged?"

"Was... well is again yeah... what was he thinking"

"He's a mug.."

"Come on lads got to be more to this than that?" Luke jumped to there defence

"Why you say that Luke?"

"Think outside the box lads... Right I'm off... footy tonight yeah??"

"Might not get there but will let you boys know"
