*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
I pick up the phone.
"This is Junior Director Posa speaking." I answer with a stern say.
A silence from the other end just a static...
"Posa.. it's Archimedes, that present you promised hasn't arrive-"
The sudden sinking of my heart sparks a nervous sweat to start. Gulping I try to find some words to say.
Cupping the phone to my mouth. "I- I'm trying..."
My voice crackles under the weight of fear.
"We had a deal didnt we? You give us supplies and we don't tell the legion you're doing-"
"You can't say that over this line!" I cry out.
A nasty snarls comes through the phone. "You honestly think I give a shit anymore Posa? It's you that's in the shit not me! You cut that goddamn deal and you'll follow through with it, or so help me god.." he yells.
Shivering as a sense of reality fills through me. My jaw jittering and my hand shakes my eyes swell up.
"I've tried I promise, Lady Coleman has made it difficult in the past few months to do anything! Supplies have to be check three times over. Nothing is getting in or out of this city. Even I can't over ride her commands... YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND." I plead.
A sigh comes from the over end of the phone.
"Those Weapons are wanted all other the world, Posa. Unfortunately, I can't sympathise with you. I have other friends in high places... Goodbye."
"NO NO WAIT-"
*Beep*
The phone call ends.
My chest uncontrollably rises and falls, my heart and throat hurts as tears begin to form.
I drop the phone and it lands on the floor, placing my fingers on my face I dig them hard to the point of pain.
"shit...shit..shit. SHIT! SHIT! SHITTT!" I cry out in horror.
I hear a noise outside my office. My eyes wide open I look to the door. Someone walks past my office, their footsteps slowly trailing past the door.
My heart beats out of my chest. Looking back down to my briefcase I pick it up and hold it close to my chest.
Quickly, I run to the door flinging it open and running down the hall and out onto the stairs. With no sense I jump down as many as I can.
Almost falling I catch myself on the railing and hold myself up. I open the door to the parking lot and look around for my car, I grab my keys and open it.
As I find the black business car in the far left corner, I look around as I feel like someone stalks me. Brushing myself off and standing straight, I exhale and breathe slowly.
I begin walking to the car with a rush and as I make my way to the car I see something odd...
The car-boot is open.
I look around to see no one in the parking lot...
Going to the car boot I grab it and put it down, and as I do I the inside of the car is shown to me. A man sits in the front seat waiting for me.
I step back and look around.
"No..." I whisper to myself.
The thought of running is contemplated within my head but I wouldn't get far and what if this man was someone who could help... maybe another friend?
