Unknown: hello
Jason: I'm sorry I don't have your contact. Who is this? How did you reach my work phone?
Unknown: no one
Jason: .... but you're texting me so you ARE someone
Unknown: ok then
Jason: How did you get this number? And why are you texting me?
Unknown: i want to tell you something
Jason: What?
Unknown: i know your secret
Jason: I don't know what you are talking about.
Unknown: meet me behind ur office dumpster in two minutes
Jason: Why would I do that? And how do you know where I work?
Unknown: you worked at this company for twenty seven years. the secret happened here
Jason: I'll meet you now.
Five minutes later...
Jason: Why weren't you at the meeting spot? I thought we were meeting behind the dumpsters.
Unknown: so you do believe me
Jason: ... is this a prank?
Unknown: no.
Jason: How do you know about this?
Unknown: it was a messy clean up job
Jason: I don't understand. When it happened it was an accident and then it got worse. I made sure nobody saw.
Unknown: she's been missing for months. and you didn't even try to make it look like she skipped town, or erase the security footage. which i deleted, by the way
Jason: Why would you delete it? It feels like you're trying to blackmail me at the same time as covering up my tracks.
Unknown: i am. i was on that tape looking very suspicious. i didn't want to be framed. so i edited the clip it'll be back soon
Jason: How much do you want for the clip?
Unknown: i want my wife back
Jason: ... she told me she wasn't married. That she just got out of an ugly relationship.
Unknown: she was married and she damn well knew it. i feel dead without her. every day i wake up i have to think that not only was she not loyal, but she's gone now too
Unknown: because of you
Jason: I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
Unknown: but YOU were in a happy marriage. you just wanted to make trouble. for that crime and all the others, you will die the same way she did
Jason: Please. I've made a mistake. Please don't kill me. I have kids and a wife who love me.
Unknown: they don't deserve you and you don't deserve them. plus they'll survive on your life insurance money before your wife gets a job. i offered her one a few weeks ago. i bet she'll take it now. i also gave her the footage by mail, which should've arrived this morning. but that doesn't matter since you'll be dead by the end of the day
Jason: I'm sorry, okay? I didn't realise that all of this would happen. It started at the coffee shop and then... it became something. I'm sorry.
Unknown: apologizing won't bring her back to life.
Unknown: you have two hours left. call your wife if you want, but i doubt she'll answer
Unknown: goodbye
