After my whole panic attack at my meeting with the director of the SPIB, I ate my expensive breakfast and he sent me home, saying he will talk to one of my friends about the matter. It was currently 7:30 and my friends were about to come and pick me up.
"This is way too fancy for me," I thought
I was looking in a mirror wearing a black suit with a blue tie. The suit jacket I was wearing was opening exposing a bright white button-down shirt.
"Rick are you coming!" called Jessica
"Did I give you permission to barge your way into my apartment" I called back
"Well no.....but the door was unlocked," Jessica said
"Doesn't change what I said" I replied
I walked out of my room to be greeted by Jessica waiting for me in the living room. She looked up and shook her head.
"God Rick, learn how to put on a suit" Jessica laughed
She got up and started to adjust my collar and tie, she then brushed my chest and shoulders off.
"There we go, all nice and handsome," Jessica said
"Hey!" I said
She giggled.
"Sorry just had to compliment you, for old time sake," Jessica said
We walked out of my apartment and down the long hallway, and out through the lobby. Mercedes was waiting outside.
"Come on guy's, we still got to pick up Fisher and Brett," Merceedes said
"We're coming," I said
We got into Merceedes car and made our way to Fisher's place, we arrived at his place shortly after 7:39. He came running out and jumped into the car.
"Took you guy's long enough," Fisher said
"We're sorry, it's just that Rick here doesn't know how to put on a suit" Jessica
"Well sorry I don't dress up much, dressing fancy isn't my thing," I said
We then made our way to Brett's and arrived shortly after 7:56. He was pretty far from Fisher's place. He got in and we all booked it to the party.
"So this Director guy came to me the other day, The Superpower Investigation Bureau I think it was," Merceedes said
"Yeah, did he tell you what he was going to tell me," I asked
"Yeah, it's something we should look into," Merceedes said
"Why, he isn't part of the government is he?" I asked
"Actually, his whole organization is funded by the government," Merceedes said
"Oh, Why is it so important then," I asked
"I would love to tell you, but I don't want to trigger your PTSD," Merceedes said
"If it's on the lines of that, I don't want to be a part of that. I'd bet he would be right at home, killing innocent people" I said
"Rick, if yo........or him didn't do what he did, more people would have died than just Jason" Merceedes said
"Yeah right, if he never existed then Jason would still be alive and Abby wouldn't be in a coma," I said
The car fell silent as we made it to the place the party was being held.
