part 2

I took up my phone from my pocket and quickly called to the police to raport this. I did but.... what now? I had to be at work soon. I thought for a while then snapped my fingers and quickly got to my car and started driving towards my office. Hopefully I would have some extra copy of the papers there. I didn't have a copy... and now I was late too. I sighed and put a plaster around my nail. "Fucking bastard" I drove back, not stressing or hurrying. I was already late anyways. I opened the door and walked in. I went to go talk to my boss right away. We talked and he looked on his computer. He was gonna print out the saved papers for me but it would take a while. I sighed. What a good way to start my day, huh?

I had gotten my papers but I would have to pay for the portfolio. I fixed up and started walking the car to drive home but someone stopped me. I didn't know who it was but he seemed familiar. He painted a bit. I looked at him questionly "Can I help you?" I asked him. "Uh- hey-. I saw you this morning actually, when I was walking with m-my dog." He rubbed his neck a bit and straightened up. "The guy that robbed you, he checked through the bag you had but left it on the street, so I took it home. So I thought you might want it back". I smiled at him nervously- "Yes, I do- but uh... when and where should I come and get it?". He thought for a few seconds before answering "The local café maybe? In 2 hours? I don't expect you to trust a stranger enough to just come to their house heh- and I have to drive down to my mom and walk my dog firts-" He said and smiled. I smiled back- "sure- well...see you then- ". I waved at him and got into my car. The local café? He seemed a bit off but also nice. I got very nervous but I needed that portfolio- It was expensive and I didn't want to pay for it.
