"What a Nightmare. I am glad it's over. For a second I thought I...
*Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep*
*Click*
Yuaaaaaaawwwwhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
I guess it wasn't a dream."
*Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring...…ring, ring, ring, ring…*
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Yuaaaaaaawhhhh!!!
It's 4:00 in the morning, who could be calling at this hour?"
'Alert: For everyones safety, please stay indoors. Ruby Storm is a wanted fugitive and anyone caught helping or aiding will be tried to the full excent of the Law. If you have any information, please call this number. Operators standing by.'
"I was right. It wasn't a dream. It was a Nightmare."
*Knock, knock, knock*
"Coming."
*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*
"I SAID, I'M COMING.
Hold your horses. Does no one know what time it is?
Ruby, I....
Hi, may I help you?"
"Darius?"
"Yeeeeaaas. May I ask who's asking?"
"I was going to ask if you have seen Ruby, but from your shock when you realized I wasn't she….what was that all about? Has she been here?"
"In my dreams."
"What was that?"
"I said I...I was just remembering a time, but I can't seem to know if it was my memory or just a dream. Ruby answered the door, not a...Burly middle aged…shower stinky....messenger brute?"
"Brute? I.....Sorry, my apologies. Allow me to introduce myself. I cannot disclose my name but do you or do you not know Theo?"
"I did."
"So you do?"
"I said, I did."
"For your sake, let's hope it stays, 'Did.'
Goodbye."
"Wait, wait, wait. You haven't even asked me any questions? I mean…I don't know your name, where you're from? I know nothing. Although I do not know where Ruby is or frankly who she is….what if I did?"
"Uhhh...…you saw the message? It's on everyones phone's. Anyone with her will be tried, but...….since you said you no longer associate....you and your friends will be off the hook and can go back to...…whatever it is you do for me."
"Come again."
"Sorry, I meant whatever you do that makes you happy. Good day."
"WAIT.
....What about Ruby? Why do you want her?"
"You...….you seem to care about this girl, do you not?"
"I...…I'm just doing my due diligence and asking questions."
"Good man. Never take anything at face value. As for Ruby, don't you worry about that. We will take good care of her. Now good day."
"....That was weird. Ruby, if you can hear me.....wherever you may be...I hope your day is much better off than mine."
