"1267 Winston Blvd,9:00 A.M"
Henry stood outside of his house with a big smile on his face as a U-Haul truck pulled into the driveway before a group of workers hopped out as they had unloaded the truck.
Henry: I'm looking forward to living in this new neighborhood!
Henry heads inside as the workers moved all of his furniture into the house.
Henry: Hey! Careful with that box! My stuff is in.....
One of the workers trips over his own foot, dropping the heavy box onto his co-worker's big toe as he yelled in pain. Henry facepalmed himself as the workers continued the renovations to the house.
"12:00 P.M"
The rest of the workers headed outside as Henry shut the door before walking into his living room where he hopped onto his couch.
Henry: *Sigh* Peace at last!
Suddenly Henry's phone began ringing as he grumbled angrily before answering it.
Henry: Hello?
Kate: "This is Kate! I just wanted you to know how much of a piece of....."
Henry hangs up and places his phone back onto the table as he grabbed the TV remote.
Henry: I wonder what's on TV?
Henry turns the TV on before flipping through channels. A few seconds later,he stops as he finally finds the right news channel.
News Reporter: We have breaking news this evening as we've received reports from the local police department of the murder of an 20 year old man over a game of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in his midtown apartment complex. Autopsy reports suggest that the man's head was mercilessly beaten in by his roommate with own Xbox One gaming console.
Henry: Damn!
News Reporter: I know right! Anyways we send our condolences out to the family of the victim and hope that justice will be served as soon as possible.
The reporter looks down as he flips through his papers.
News Reporter: Coming up next on the channel 18 news! The local fast food restaurant,Burger Bomber is being shutdown for its alleged reports of food poisoning by its customers.
The doorbell rings as Henry stands to his feet before opening the door, finding an Indian man in his mid 50s, wearing a red shirt, khakis and sandals standing outside.
Raj: Good evening! My name is Raj and I'm the landlord of this residence!
Henry: Ok?
Raj: May I please come in and inspect the house?
Henry: No! Go away! I'm watching the real housewives of Tanzania!
Henry tries to slams the door in Raj's face only for him to stop it with his foot.
Raj: Sir! This is a required inspection of the property! If you don't let me in then I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!
Henry: For what?
Raj: Insubordination!
Henry: Is that even a crime?
Raj: Sir! LET ME INTO THIS HOUSEHOLD!!!
Henry: Ok ok! Sheesh!
Henry opens the door as Raj pushes him out of the way before walking inside.
