Just then his phone rang ..it was an unknown number..he had been getting a lot of those lately..all different numbers...he knew better than to answer he kept blocking the numbers but new ones always called he wondered who it was and what they wanted, he didn't have any loans and he sure as hell didn't win a lottery.
He only had got his first paycheck last week and finally deposited his own money instead of using Trey's account and money...he had promised himself he would open his bank account using his own hard earned money and he did.The persistant ringing broke him out of his thoughts..he finally got off the bike and went up to their apartment and used his own spare key to get inside..he went to the fridge and took a beer he sat down as he stared at his ringing phone.It was his captain if he didn't answer he would be in trouble.
He cleared his voice and answered the call.
Gyles are you okay Christopher asked as soon as he picked up.
Yes sir I know you are calling about me being impractical and neglecting work but can I please have the rest of the afternoon off please sir Trekker asked.
Gyles
Sir please his voice cracked and he bit his lower lip to keep from crying.
Your voice.. you've been crying.. are you crying.. are you okay Christopher asked his voice full of worry for a minute there Trekker thought he was mistan.
I'm fine sir Trekker said.

Christopher said.

Trekker...

You heard right so if you ever need to talk I'm one call away and if you need a shoulder to cry on let me know and I'll drop everything for you.
Thank you sir I know you are doing this out of the kindness of your heart because you feel like you caused this but you didn't and thank you sir I'll be fine
Trek...
Goodbye sir Trekker said hanging up...he sipped his beer and ignored his Captain's calls..his best friend's call .and everyone else who bothered ..he must have fell asleep because he woke up to the sound of his phone ringing....he was sleepy he answered the call.
Ahhh...Trey you bastard.. you know I love my sleep..do you hate me that much that you'll call in the middle of the night while you are just in the next room..shiii this call better be important someone better be dead or someone should have found the cure for cancer or else I'm gonna kabooya your ass... Trekker said waking up.
It's Three o'clock in the afternoon and I am not whoever you thought I was a voice said.. Trekker became widely awake when he checked the caller ID he had answered one of the unknown numbers that had been calling him.
Don't hang up please....the voice said.
Listen if you want money I don't have any.I'm broke as hell and if you are trying to scam me I'll track you down and arrest you. Now I have had a shitty day so you better not add to it. Tell me who you are and why you have been calling Trekker said.
Hi .. sorry...me and the others have been trying to get a hold of you for a long time the guy said.
You and the others..is this some sort of cult..I ain't joining...my life is shitty and has always been shitty so I don't need to make it shittier by adding a cult to it Trekker said.
The guy chuckled.
I'm glad you find my shitty life amusing..if I didn't know better I would have thought you were my best friend but of course Trey doesn't sound like you.m Trekker said.
I wasn't laughing at your life.I'm amused...do you always tend to talk and blabber on not letting the other person talk the guy asked.
Trekker thought back to how he talked to his Captain and sighed.He didn't even let his Boss talk.
Yeah sometimes it happens.. Trekker said laughing dryly....so stranger I'll let you talk now .
Can we meet the guy said.
No..I don't meet strangers what if you have been ordered to kill me, my mom always told me to never trust or meet anyone I met on the internet Trekker said.
Your mom sounds like a smart woman the guy said.
She was.. she's dead..OPPS Trey always told me I tend to over-share and over-say Trekker said.
I'm sorry for your loss the guy said.
It was a long time ago so it doesn't matter Trekker said.
Okay... listen I wouldn't kill you I promise the guy said.
