Chereads / Hacker's crown / Chapter 2 - Chapter-2

Chapter 2 - Chapter-2

You won't believe who I saw on the door. It was him!! The previous royal hacker. Yep, I was pretty sure that it was him. I know that cause he was in the papers and also he was my friend too. Now before you start bombarding me with accusations let me clarify. I did not know his whereabouts before and I was not responsible for his disappearance and I did not know what he was doing on my doorstep. So, I did what any sensible person would do. I shut the door on his face. And then totally calmly walked to the landline and dialed in 9-1-1. Ok, I may have slammed the door on his face. And not called 9-1-1 and instead gone into a full panic attack. And then came another knock and a muffled voice. I couldn't figure out the words but it was probably him. So, opened the door just the tiniest bit and stuck my face through the crack. "Hey!,' he said like he had not just disappeared for a week and raised the whole palace/city into chaos. "What are you doing here?" I asked whisper shouting for some reason. "Can't I come to meet a friend? And why are whisper shouting?" he asked. I looked at him skeptically. And then made way for him to come in. He plopped down on the couch and made himself comfortable. "Why aren't you sitting?" he asked. I sat down in front of him. "What's up with you today?" He asked. I looked at him like he was mad. "What's up with me? I should be asking you the same question! You just went missing within in 2 days of your new job as the official hacker of the Claendale palace, then stay missing for a week and then suddenly come knocking at my door, the week before I will start the same job and then act like nothing is wrong!!" My voice came out a octave higher than I expected and my gestures were maybe a bit exaggerated but otherwise I think I did my part as a concerned friend pretty well. Kudos to me! "Whoa!" He said, "I have zero idea what you talking about but congrats on the new job, which (just to clarify) I never had. Also I have absolutely no recollection of the previous week. But the doctor says that I must have hit my head on something so I forgot about it but I am pretty sure even with strongest dose of amnesia I would NOT forget being the offish royal hacker. That is my dream man." "What do you mean?" I countered. "Your disappearance is in all of the papers and you are saying you did not even have the job!!"

"No man. I have no idea what you are talking about! I have to go now as I have an ACTUAL job interview to prepare for tomorrow. See you man." Saying so he got up from the couch and went out the door muttering something that dangerously sounded like, 'what's up with him today?' as he walked out leaving me with hundreds of unanswered questions.
