Today's the day. Elliot comes home and I get to hold him in my arms sans prison jumpsuit and creepy guards. I had 2 months to plan for this day but now that it's here I'm nervous. I dyed my hair for dramatic effect and I've been cleaning the apartment like crazy. I want everything to be perfect. I cooked all of his favorite foods and rented his favorite movie. He hates paying for movies but I thought we'd be devoid of hacking for a while, outside of FSociety. He'll hate it, and thank me. Eventually. Flipper circles Elliot's bed. "NO!" I say. I pick her up and move her. She throws up on the couch. "Aww poor baby." I say petting her. She ate a computer chip off the floor and it made her sick. I guess Elliot dropped it during a wipe. The vet says it'll have to work it's way out and suggested I just keep her outside. My baby isn't an outside dog it's cold and dangerous out there. I clean her up and give her an Dentistix. After quarantining the couch cushion I fix her bed and pour her some food. "How are you doing Qwerty?" I ask. He swims towards me and bumps the glass. "Maybe It's time I move you to your new home, by the window. There's not much out there though." I warn. I transfer him to a bigger tank by the window. "See I put a cute little castle in there for you, and what is this!?" I ask excitedly. I put two female fishes in. 

"Ooh Qwerty aren't they cute and pretty?" I ask

"Ooh Qwerty aren't they cute and pretty?" I ask. You can't put two male betta fish together so you have to either have one or only add females. They swim around him and he flips over. "Oh god!" I say. I look for the fish net. I killed Elliot's fish! He had a heartattack or something, I'm horrible! The pet store owner warned not to surprise him too much but he said it would be healthy for him to have females. Liar!! I find the net and come back to a female fish nudging him. She flips him over and they swim off together. Dammit he was just trying to find a mating partner and I thought he was dead. "Don't scare me like that." I say. My watch beeps and I grab my coat.

After A Two Hour Wait Outside The Prison Gate.

I scroll through my facebook to pass time. It's been 2 hours but it doesn't really bother me. What's really bothering me is, "Goddammit! What's taking them so long!" Darlene says angrily. "It's a jail they keep you for as long as they can." I reply nonchalantly. "Like that's okay." She says. She takes my Snickers bar from my back pocket and eats it. "Have you heard from Dark Army?" She asks chewing. She hands me the bar back and I take a bite. "Not a peep out of them." I answer. "Maybe they're planning something." She suggests. "Plausible. They tend to only want to talk to Elliot so they wouldn't run anything pass me." I reply. The gate starts to open.
