Ring Ring Ring
I picked up my phone to see a familiar name calling me. It was detective james the man that kept an eye on me when things got rough. But I thought he said that I was "Gonna be fine on my own." Well I still wanted to hear what he said mostly because things have gone wrong ever since I created that rift in my house. The police don't believe me and I can't go back home because they believe it was "Attempted murder." and "We need to keep you at the hospital for witness protection." Or whatever so I'm pretty much homeless now living in a hospital and whatnot for a couple of weeks. Maybe he could offer me a place to stay.
I answered the call "Hello?" I called out "Hi, Shane how's it going?" He Asked his voice was rough almost weak "Well not everything has been great because of well... I'm sure you know". I explained "Yeah well that's what I was going to call about." He hesitated "I'm going to retire from the force. so that'll mean I wont be able to keep my eye on you. Not like I actually could". He laughed at his own cringy dad joke. I gave out a little chuckle
"But as I was saying I'm getting too old for this so I recommended someone to kinda watch you for a while I think you'll like him. His name is Austin summers he is middle aged but he is still wise. His partner mark on the other hand he is something else. Mark is aggressive headstrong but enjoyable to talk with" a deafening silence rang through out. "Ah got to go." James said breaking the silence "But where am I gonna stay I can't go home because of witness protection." I asked just in time "He's got it all covered." James then hung up.
I put down the phone and groaned.
"Uh mr. Colson you have some visiters." A nurse from across the hall told me "Who are they?" I asked "Two police officers." She answered. The cops entered the room. Both of the cops had name tags that said their respective names. Summers looked to be in his mid 50s he had the typical "I'm getting too old for this shit" cop mustache. He wore this trench coat like he was sherlock Holmes
Mark on the other hand had a usual cop uniform his h air was short, messy, and brown his blue eyes matching his uniform. He looked at least in his mid 20s.summers sat beside my bed "What's your name son?" He asked "shane." I answered "So your the kid that got himself stabbed." Mark cut in. Summers stood up and smacked the back of Mark's head "What the hell was that for." Mark complained while rubbing his head "One of these days your gonna start a fight with the wrong person and you'll get yourself killed." Austin reprimanded. "Well I'm not dead yet old man." It was awkward knowing these people were supposed to watch me and make sure I survive. "I found where you are going to live. I found It on this super secretive website. And-" mark interrupted Austin "He found it off of craigslist." "Excuse me craigslist why there and oh I don't know an actual list of safe places to stay." I exploded "Hear me out" Austin said. "It will be in another apartment in New York but you will have a new room mate. If he becomes a problem or he makes you uncomfortable you can contact us." He gave me this card with his phone number on it "I managed to convince the hospital to let you out soon so you leave tomarrow." Mark said "So I think you should pack your bags." Mark and Austin left my room. I packed my bags the next day and then one of the nurses told me there was a taxi waiting for me. And that it was paid for. Wonder who that could be. I was driven to the apartment and the apartment building is a little run down but not condemned rundown. The apartment itself was a nice clean and neat but it had a weird smell to it. Then I saw my roommate sitting on the couch. He had brown hair with a shade of ginger to it. His skin was pale white. His freckles dotting all over it. "Ay you must be my new roommate" he said still sitting on the couch he had a thick loud accent to it. "My name is Edmon o'Reilly." He said I Didn't respond I just went to one half of the room and started unpacking I noticed the half I was at was completely empty exept for a bed. So I started to unpack Edmon walked up behind me and said "That's a little rude you know Ignoring your host." "I'm sorry I've just had a long day." I said laying down on the bed." I replied "Oh I get it, but cheer up tomarrow is another day." I began to drift asleep. Into tomarrow and into a new chapter of my life.
