There's only 5 days remaining before Jack the Ripper begins his next move and ambushes me. Although I'm now starting to doubt if I'm really his next target or not..
But the message on that evidence was clear, he's definitely going to target me.
And if my calculations before were correct, then I should also be doing the right move.
And that move is.. Staying at my apartment and not doing anything. Apparently I was told to relax since I needed to stay composed by the time Jack starts to hunt me, and if I don't stay calm then everything the higher ups has prepared will be a waste.
But instead of staying at the department and not doing anything except talking with Jhon, I decided to just stay at my apartment with Bubba until the day finally arrives.
But I didn't really expect my home to be this boring.. No wonder Bubba always gets sad whenever I leave, it's really lonely, quiet and boring here. But it's also a hassle when I have a roommate, so Bubba is enough.
I didn't do much, I just cleaned my apartment, fed Bubba and also cleaned him up. I'm currently sitting in my couch with Bubba while staring outside the balcony. My couch is facing the balcony so that I can see the light from outside, it's also a refreshing feeling to see nature's calm response to all this chaos that's been going on.
"I'm getting really sleepy now..", I muttered to myself.
I didn't do much and I'm also not doing anything at the moment, so it's only natural to get sleepy. I looked at Bubba who was beside me and he's already sleeping.
'Guess I'll sleep too..', is what I thought of after seeing Bubba snoring.
I looked around the apartment for the last time to check everything before I go to sleep, and I also took out my pocket watch to check the time and it's currently 2:47 PM.
"Guess I'll sleep for about... 5-6 hours.", I muttered to myself.
I got up and carried Bubba to his bed, and yes he has a personal bed. But before I could get to my bed and sleep, I drank some water first. It is said that drinking water before sleeping helps your organs and as well as your lips to stay wet, it can also release some stress.
After drinking some water, I finally went to my bed to get some sleep. But before I could even reach my bed, I noticed my computer just staying beside my bed.
I remembered buying a computer, a Gaming Computer to be exact. But I didn't really know what my purpose was for buying it, I guess it was just to keep up with the trend..
I decided to turn on my computer for a moment and check it. After it turned on, I immediately scanned everything. Even though this is a Gaming Computer, it didn't really have games, maybe I was just lazy to download them or maybe I just didn't have any interest. Either way I should try playing something.
But after seeing the games on the game market website, I realized on how pricey games can get. I saw some free ones but the reviews said that 'Even if it's a free game, the items in this one are definitely not for free!'.
"Guess I'll just pick a random one and play it.."
I picked one and it's called Left4Dead, it's not really that big of a game but some reviews said that this game got old but it's still really fun to play with. So I decided to give it a try.
It's apparently a shooting game but instead of shooting people, you shoot zombies which are run by a programmed A.I.
After the game loaded, I get to select of what mode I should play in. But since I'm all alone, I chose single player. It also wanted me to pick a character so I chose Bill, since he resembled what my current job is.
After picking the character, place and difficulty. I started the game. It took some time to load but the vibes on the loading screen is really starting to kick in..
'Let's get to the chopper before those bastards get to us.', Francis said in the game.
"Eh.. They have custom voice lines..", I said to myself.
The game starts with you picking your weapon and getting a medkit. And I'm currently in a safe house or some sort with the other 3 NPCs..
"I sure hope these NPCs aren't idiots..", I said to myself.
And so, the game of shooting zombies started.
12 hours passed
"KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL FRANCIS!! YES THAT'S IT! USE THE MOLOTOV TO BURN THEM TO CRISPS!!"
'HELP ME BILL!'
'ZOEY! I'M COMING!'
"LET HIM BE BILL! LET'S GET IN THE CHOPPER! LEAVE THAT BITCH ALONE! WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE!"
'WOOHOO! WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE!!'
"YES! I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!"
I stood up after the credits scene started to roll and stretched myself up. I can hear my bones clicking..
"Aaahhh~ That was a fun game~", I said to myself while feeling satisfied.
I only finished 3 stages of the game but I'm assuming that there's still more to it. But I decided to end it here and go to sleep.
"What time is it?", I said as I checked my pocket watch.
As soon as I opened my pocket watch and checked the time, I was in for a shock.
"EH-EEHH??!! IT'S ALREADY 2:49AM?!!"
H-How could this be?? I know that I played 3 stages of the game, but I thought I only spent 5 hours on it! But it turned out that I spent half of the day playing it!
Now that I think about it, I screamed as I was playing the game because of my deaths and kills... This is bad, I might get a noise complaint...
Wait! What about Bubba?? Did he hear all of my screams??
I checked Bubba who's still in his bed sleeping deeply.
"Phew.. Guess he's okay..", I said as I patted myself lightly on the chest.
*DING DONG*
Oh-Oh no... This is exactly what I feared... Are those the police??? Am I getting a complaint??
I-I have to do something... I'm too nervous to face the Chief if I do get a noise complaint.. This is really bad..
But I still decided to check my door to see who was ringing the doorbell. And I checked on the hole, the police was standing..
Oh shit. I've gone and done it now...
But I have no choice but to face my fears, if I do get a noise complaint then I also have no choice but to explain everything to the Chief tomorrow.. No.. By morning!
I opened the door slowly and peaked outside using my head..
"Wh-What seems to be the problem officer...?", I asked the police.
"Ah! Ms. Watson! I'm glad to see that you're still awake and alive!", the police said.
"Eh..? Wh-What do you mean..?", I asked.
"Actually I've been told to come here by the orders of Chief Joseph, apparently you weren't answering to all of his calls and messages. Is everything okay in there Ms. Watson?", the police asked.
I see.. So it isn't a noice complaint. That's good to hear, then that means I can escape this quickly than expected.
"I-I was just sleeping for the entire day that's all hehe..", I said.
"Hmm.. I see.. Then I suggest that you call the Chief after our conversation. He's getting worried that something might've happened to you.", the police said.
"S-Sure.. I'll contact him.."
If that is all then I should head inside. I also may have got the Chief worried too much, but I'll just tell him that I fell asleep.
"If that is all officer then I should probably contact him now..", I said as I tried to close the door, but apparently..
"Wait a second Ms. Watson, I actually got something else for you..", the officer said with seriousness.
Oh no... Did I actually get a noise complaint???
"We actually received a noise complaint from next door.. No.. From 3 doors..", the officer said as he pointed out my three neighbors that were outside my apartment.
As... As I expected..... This is really bad...
The noise complaint came from the doors that were next to my door, the left and right doors. My screams were also heard from the door next to my right neighbor, making it three complaints in total.
After we talked everything out, I went back inside and called the Chief and he said that he got worried because he thought that Jack started the move ahead of schedule. But after telling him the truth of what I was actually doing, I got scolded.
So take note, just shut your mouth while playing intense video games. Because you might end up just like what happened to me.
