Beca woke up and was greeted by the smell of pancakes. She quickly got up and walked down the hallway into the kitchen to find Chloe already up and ready and cooking pancakes. She was wearing her green vet scrubs and white joggers. Her red hair was pulled tightly into a pony tail.
"Morning sleepy head!" Chloe greeted the brunette.
"Morning, are those pancakes for me?"
"Yes, for both of us. I need to go in half an hour but you'll be right to stay here and work out the locksmith stuff won't you?"
"Yeah of course! I won't trash your place or anything."
"I'd hope not!"
Beca laughed, "Can we eat yet?"
"I'll just do the last few, you go get dressed and by that time they'll be ready."
"Okay, thanks Chlo."
Beca walked back down to Chloe's room and shut the door. She pulled a scrunched up pair of skinny black jeans, a belt, a dark red shirt, grey sleeveless puffer jacket, bra, underwear and grey woolly socks out of her bag. She changed quickly and did her hair up in a looped bun. She returned to the kitchen and was greeted with a pile or warm pancakes covered in maple syrup and chopped fruit.
"Mmmmmm, thanks Chlo."
"All good, I'll just eat this quickly and then I've got to head off, are you right to do the dishes?"
"Of course, thanks so much for the pancakes."
Chloe smiled and ate her last bite of pancake. She got up and grabbed her keys and handbag. "See ya Becs, text me if you need anything!"
"Bye Chlo, have a good day."
The door slammed and Beca was alone in the apartment. She finished off her pancakes and did the dishes. Then googled the local locksmiths and gave one a call.
"Hello, B.K. Locksmiths, one lock away to making your day."
"Um, Hi. I'm Beca and I need a spare key to be made for my apartment."
"Okay sure, let me put you on hold while I get someone that can help you."
Tinny celtic music started playing through the phone. Beca walked overt and sat down on the couch.
"Hello, B.K. Locksmiths, Joseph speaking."
"Hi, I need a spare key to be made for my apartment, I've lost my key and apparently you can make one with just the lock?"
"Yes sure, we can come to you or you can bring the whole door to us?" Joseph joked.
"I'd prefer it if you came to me."
"Of course, what address?"
"Parc at Perimeter Apartment Homes, Unit 2C."
"So that's Parc at Perimeter Apartment Homes, Unit 2C."
"Yep, I'll be there in about 50 minutes."
"Awesome, see you there."
"Okay, thank you."
"Bye."
Beca ended the call and put her phone in her pocket. She grabbed her headphones and took the spare key Chloe had given her and locked the door behind her. Beca put her headphones on and started walking to her apartment.
...
She arrived and a ute with the words 'B.K. Locksmiths' was parked outside, perfect timing. She knocked on the window and a tall thin man in a loose pair of jeans and polo shirt stepped out.
