You'll hear from us

02

Both Jack and Geoff were fuming when they finally filmed the video they had been dreading. The one to confirm that there had been problems in the office, as all their fans had been posting about and making accusations. After 2 days of inactivity, ideas that Lindsay and Michael had broken up were popular, Ray becoming depressed, Gavin and Meg splitting up...none of this was confirmed, but the fans were going crazy without the truth.

"Thank fuck that's over with. I'm out of here." Geoff stated as he stormed over to his desk, grabbing his jacket and bag that had been thrown over his chair earlier in the day. All the computers in the office were turned off, as they had been for several hours.

"Yeah well don't worry about the video." Jack mumbled as he sat down to his desk and began moving the single file over to 'edit'. Although beginning as a sly comment, Jack's words rapidly became an attack on Geoff. "I'll edit it. I'll upload it. I'll even fucking sit here for the next 24 hours answering the million questions we're going to get asked. You go home to your family and..."

"Oh come on Jack, are you serious?" Geoff stopped walking towards the door and turned to face Jack, dropping his arms to his sides as he felt drained of arguing and wanted nothing more than to just be at home. "Just upload it like it is and get out of here. Fucking Christ, I'm sick of hearing about everyone else..." Geoff mumbled as he continued towards the door, forcing the handle to open and slamming it with all his force as he stormed out.

"Whatever." Jack said outloud, not for any reason other than to have the last word, at least in his opinion. He left the video how it was, only adding fades and the last words, 'you'll hear from us'.

As the video began uploading, instead of waiting around for it to finish - like everyone normally would - Jack left the computer on and left the room with his jacket and bag in hand, opening and closing the door much more calmly than Geoff, taking one more look around the empty office before walking out towards the carpark.

"What a day that was.." Jack said as he climbed in his car, hands holding the steering wheel tightly as he drove away from the place that had become his second home.

Although the video only lasted under a minute, within the first hour of its upload, stills had been posted all over the internet, quotes and motions that both Jack and Geoff had said and done. Most posts worried for the wellbeing of the other Achievement Hunters, of their partners and close friends.

"Is someone hurt?"
"Has someone left?"
"Who?"
"When will we hear from them?"
"When?"
"When?"
