The Notepad

*viva la vida by Coldplay plays as alarm goes off* "time to get up" says John as he turns off his alarm and begins his day. After showering, John gets dressed as he puts on a white button up shirt and some complimentary pants, along with making sure to clean his glasses before wearing them. John heads over to the kitchen to brew himself his morning coffee using his chemex. *sips coffee while looking at the sunrise outside of his floor to ceiling window* "the view really is better in Vancouver" *john sits down on his couch placing his coffee mug on a coaster, while picking up his notepad* "let's see, where could I take Gwen from apartment 318, I could take her to the riverbank, but then that means my clothes would get dirty and I'd rather not have that... oh I know, how bout the bike trail not too far from here... scratch that, I don't know the bike trail well enough to take her there. Oh.. how about I-" *hears knocking at the door* "Coming just give me one moment" *John gets up, putting his notepad on the kitchen counter as he goes to check who knocked on the door* "May I help you?" "Hey Um, I'm Chris... from down the hall? Yea haha I thought it'd be nice to introduce myself to the new neighbour, and your name is Mr ?" "Silvers... Mr.Silvers, but you can call me John" "oh ok Mr.Silv- I mean John... mind if I come in?" "Sure... one second" *unlocks chain lock on door* "come in... take a seat... you drink coffee?" "Yes I do, nice place you got here John" "thanks.. So Chris, what do you do?" *starts prepping coffee for chris* "I'm an accountant, I work in the office building downtown, idk if you've been around enough to see it" "no... actually I haven't, i just recently moved here" "I've been meaning to ask John, what brings you to Vancouver?" "I like the view" *hands Chris his coffee* "here you go" "thank you John" *takes a sip then puts it on the coffee table* "do you happen to have any milk and sugar by chance?" "Yes... I'll go grab that for you right now" *heads back to counter top area* "what a place you got here John, nice living room, gorgeous counter top area, floor to ceiling windows, and that industrial sized freezer... damn what do you keep in there? The whole cow? Haha... what's your job if you're able to afford all this" "I... work from home actually, I write in my free time, short stories and articles mainly" *searches for sugar throughout the pantry* "that's very good for you John... so um... you didn't mention what was in the freezer haha" "oh... the freezer, you could say there's meat in there.. haha " "right... so did you hear about what happened to Gwen from 318? It's so crazy really" "no... what happened?" *slowly opens cutlery drawer without Chris noticing* "it's crazy, the news is saying she disappeared, gone, without a trace, can you believe that?" "Without a trace you say?... now that is crazy indeed" *slowly John reaches for the kitchen knife, trying to not make it noticeable* "yea... reporters say she disappeared around 2 weeks ago... about the same time you.. moved.. in" *Chris starts to come to a realization* "hey... John.. what did you say was in that freezer again?" *John has a finger on the kitchen knife, ready to be wielded* "you know Chris" *chuckles in disbelief* "Some things just really aren't meant t-" *A phone rings, causing Chris to jump and knock his coffee cup onto the floor, shattering the cup and spilling everywhere* "oh my god, I'm so sorry about the cup" *john closes drawer, putting the knife away while going to help Chris* "it's all good.. trust me, is that your phone?" *chris checks phone, realizes it's his work calling* "Damn, I better go or else I'm gonna be late for my shift, thank you John for the coffee" "Best not to be late now Chris, let me walk you out" *John walks Chris out the door , but before leaving Chris turns to John* "you know John... I hope they find Gwen" *with a concerned look* "Me too Chris... Me too, bye bye now" *closes and locks door* now that that's dealt with *heads over to kitchen counter to pick up the note pad, writes down "keep an eye on Chris" then proceeds to put it down* Back to what I was doing earlier *proceeds to open freezer, revealing Gwen's corpse inside* "where would be the perfect place to take your body... Gwen".
