The sun brought a soft glow to everything it touches the floor, black seats and bench of the reception. The morning shift standing behind the desk with coffee that lifted even Toby sprits. Toby can see his refection on the glass doors showing a tired humanoid. The sound of the birds comes clear, as he step outside. Casey is still dress in her Mc Donald uniform standing as if she is a manikin.

"Good morning Toby. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes" relief in the one word.

They take a taxi home in complete silences. Toby rests his head against the window. As the taxi dives with the radio down low going past the biggest garden in the city as people with dogs jog under the trees and others opening up shop for the morning rush. Once home the stress leak out of Toby spine as he climb up the stairs to collapse on his bed for a long sleep.

It is the afternoon when Toby wakes up. The gurgle of the stomach tells him that his last meal have been hours ago. Heading down to the kitchen to find a big note on the fridge saying that it is his day off and that he needed to rest and lunch is in the fridge it just needed to be heated up. Making a coffee from an instant as the water boil gave normality from the ups and downs of yesterday. It is a fare while when Toby is ready for the day. Taking to sitting at the table Toby went through his tablet going through messengers showing three new ones this late morning. One from Henry, another from Becky and finally the other from the real-sate, opening Toby began to read Henry short message of call me. Becky is much simpler with can I come over, with an emoji of hand praying. The real sate have sent a message that an email have been sent. Not wanting to lose time Toby sent a message to Beck 'Sure come over when ready'. It is when scrolling for Henry number that the spines become agitated that they extended out a bit and it the yellow red began to show. Hitting call Toby breathing pick up a bit.

"Man; are you alright?" came so fast it almost blur together.

Nothing is said for three minutes "Yeah just tired."

A big sigh rattle the line "that was freaky crazy last night with that guy."

"Yeah it was."

Henry continue on "Yeah, yeah that suck especially when they took you to the police station."

"I know. Anyway I tried call you."

"Yeah I know. I was busy could not take your call."

Toby stop he was thinking along the lines that Henry was asleep when he called, however Henry normally plays games to five or six in the morning.

"Busy with what."

Henry began to laugh "Oh man the cat ear girl said that if I could come to her house. Keep her company and everything is history from there, man you have such bad timing nearly ruin the mood."

Spine extends out "Okay so you were busy."

"Yeah, so what happen?"

Toby taps the counter top "Nothing much, they ask some question about what happen."

"Yeah that new guy was mental."

The tops of the fingers start to show red as it continues to grow up his hand. He almost miss a ding over the call. "Yeah the new guy was mental, hey Henry I have to go."

Opening a message from Richie; it read 'I sent an email with information that may help you.'

'Thanks' Toby types back.

Opening an email to three folders one for sellers rights, customers rights and an old one that had not been updated on discrimination. The email simply had the folder name and number. Tapping on the third folder and with command of page thirty seven opens to a main section with sub section. Reading the whites of his eyes open wide as lists of what can be considered discrimination against a person or people. The first and the second were just as riveting another ding stop his reading. Richie has sent another two folders one on community public health and safety and the other on the laws of parasite in the community separated into four categories the fourth being under certain careers and Frankenstein. When reading the chapter about residence, if he had skin he was sure that it will crawl. List of what precaution for the safety down to a chip put in the arm or any part of the body that will track emotional state and will put anyone asleep therefore sports are to be avoided. Restriction starts to grow the spines extending out into a crown.
