Who's Going To Take The L - DRAFT COPY NOT EDITED

Chapter 20 - The Night before

How did he know, oh let me guess he has cameras in his office too. Suprise he didn't have any work pictures of me in that damn drawer. Well to be honest it's not me who is going to have to explain themself, is it? I'm not the damn creep spying on people and digging up old photos from the past. I mean that could have triggered me to a downward path to depression. "Yes, Gabriel I think we should have a conversation about that, don't you?" His face doesn't change expression and he is still sitting there like he hasn't done a single thing wrong. The bloody cheek of it. "We should have a conversation about you going through your boss drawers and then stealing his possessions, sure I see how you would have some explaining to do." Stealing his possessions, having some explaining to do. Please, I wonder what privileged bullshit he's going to pull this time.

"I have some explaining to do. How about we talk about the pictures and weird shit you have in that drawer. You're not about to flip this on me." Even as I mention the pictures he still doesn't give anything away to prove he's guilty not even a flinch or a finger twitch. "What's wrong with having pictures of your employees I don't think it's against the law and if you went through your contract in full then you would see I actually have the right." What is he talking about I did go through the contract over and over again, because I knew he would pull some shit like this. Sure I didn't understand everything but that's because it was over-complicated and after I saw the amount I mean sis didn't need to read any further. "No Gabriel, don't just make up any shit to get yourself out of this. I read the contract and so did my lawyer." No, she didn't but that because Tia has been busy with real cases but I was going to make her read it. Note to self send Tia a copy of your contract ASAP.

"Angel if you needed me to go through the contract with you then you should have asked but I'm sure you were drawn in by the salary. That is honestly you poor people's weaknesses, too greedy to make a bit of chump change." Well, this conversation is getting nowhere, I'm starting to worry about what I actually agreed to. "Let me make it clear to you, as you seem to be a bit confused. I have the right to have any photo of you that I want but you do not have the right to be snooping around my office. I let you off the first time but I do not think I can let it slide again." He knows. I don't know what's scarier, the fact that I got into a contract with a complete psycho or that he has been constantly spying on me and apparently has the right to. "This is not right, you clearly don't have any trust in me and maybe your right I was drawn in by the money but you just proved it's not worth it. I quit."

I'm in complete shock not because I just up and quit but because he is sitting there laughing and on top of that the people in the movie are also laughing. Stupid movie, it's a horror anyway which means most of the cast is going to die. Back to the matter at hand, I don't know why Gabriel is laughing but it sounds like he just hard the world's best joke in the world. "Angel you wanted this contract so bad, now your upset over it. It seems to me you do not know what you want in life. Well, it is a good thing I do, and that is you, darling." I get chills in my back as he says this, shit I think it's a lot worse than I thought it was. I need to go and get this contract checked out ASAP. "Show me the way out now." I don't know what he heard in my voice or if he doesn't care if I leave or not but Gabriel gets up straights away and walks me to his front door. "Miss White one more thing before you go, I suggest you get your lawyer to read over your contract again or just get yourself a new lawyer. I can recommend one if you want. How about Tia Johnson." He laughs one more time before he shuts the door in my face.

The possibility that he is talking about a different Tia Johnson is very slim right. I don't know but I feel like this is the start of a bad horror movie. The fact that he has pictures of my dead parents means he most likely has pictures of my living friends as well. Shit if he knows Tia then he sure as hell must know Layla. I pull out my phone and call Tia, she's a better candidate then Layla because she's a lawyer they are not meant to lie right. The phone is ringing out and I'm starting to get worried that she isn't going to answer. Maybe she's in a meeting with one of her clients or in the middle of trying to win an important case. Fuck it I feel like this is life or death right here so I'm going to risk it and ring her again. She finally picks up the call.
