The Show Must Go On

Even if you're miles apart

After Christina and Jordan finally arrived at home, they had an argument, like so often in the last few months. It wasn't even that they, argued about something important, it just seemed no matter how hard Christina tried, she couldn't please Jordan anymore. He would always find something to twist around and argue about. Today Jordan didn't like the fact, that Christina forgot her wedding ring at home and on top of that, Jordan saw Matthew leaving Christina's trailer, right before she came out to greet her husband.

Hours of crying, screaming and of frustration from defending herself went by and both would go up their separate living rooms. Both had slept for months apart, because neither of them wanted to face their counterpart after they had an Argument.

Christina buried her face into her arms and started weeping bitterly into the night, until she heard something that sounded like afar speaking voice. Christina got curious and wanted to find out where it was coming from. At first she thought Jordan, was probably watching TV, but there was no sound, when she left her room. She started to go onto a scavenger hunt for the mysterious sound, she checked under her bed, opened the Windows, in case the sound was from outside, she checked her phone and notebook, as well as the radio, nothing was making any sounds. So what was it?

She woke up in the middle of the night, after she remembered she still had Jordan's phone in her purse. She sprung from her bed to check her red purse, but she was wrong, Jordan's phone had run out of batteries when Jordan already had handed it to her.

But wait a minute, what was that long black antenna-thing that she saw in her purse?

She took it out of her purse to find a walkie-talkie in her hands.

'Where was that from?', Christina wondered, she never owned one of these, neither had she seen one of those in a long time, unless...

All of a sudden, she remembered when the last time was she saw one and got excited to try it out. She pushed one of the buttons that had 'Call' on them and said into the soughing nothing: 'Hello? Is there anyone? Who is the owner of this'.

Nothing happened.

Christina almost lost hope and right after she wanted to go back to her bed, a voice said: 'Hey, finally you answered back...'.
