Chapter 19 - Not at home.

Leonard decided that it was about time to go to bed, it was already late. But before that, he decided to do some push-ups first, like what? He knew that wouldn't give him instant six-packs and massive muscles, he just wanted to do it. After doing up to 20 push-ups twice, he strolled over to his room and landed on the bed, and before he knew it, he had dozed off.

The next day, Leonard woke up at the time of 7:02 am. He got up from the bed and strolled over to the mirror to glance at his face. This wasn't a norm, he doesn't do this every single day he wakes in the morning, he just decided to do it today. What did he see in the mirror when he glanced at it, the face of a person that has just woken from sleep. What was he expecting to see there? An action face?

He had even forgotten that he planned on going to John's house to ask him a question...he had to revive that memory. You know that stuff of questioning yourself? Question like, 'So what is my plan today?'. Yeah, that's the same question he asked himself that made him remember that he planned on going to John's house. But he didn't know if he should rush things or not, should he go this morning or go later?

This wasn't something he should play with, the information John would give him could play a very important role in accomplishing his first quest, so he decided to go this morning. He entered the bathroom and did the normal stuff, you know? Brushing his teeth and taking his bath. Then he came out of the bathroom, dried himself, and stood in front of his wardrobe.

He was thinking of what outfit he was gonna wear. Was it shirt? T-shirt? hooded clothe? or one of the thick sweaters? After standing in front of the wardrobe for some minutes, he decided to wear a shirt and match it with nice dark-blue jeans. He took one of the shirts from the wardrobe and took dark-blue jeans also, then he put them on making sure to match them with shoes.

Now that he had dressed up, it was about time to eat breakfast. He wasn't gonna prepare anything for breakfast, you know? Those types of long cooking that takes time. Instead, he was gonna eat something light, something that would take almost no time to prepare, let's call it fast food.

And the fast food he ate was something he had eaten more than once since he started residing in this apartment...cornflakes. It didn't even take up to 7 minutes to prepare, that's how fast it takes to prepare cornflakes. He used normal warm water to prepare it, but if you plan on using hot water, then it would definitely take more than 7 minutes to prepare.

Done eating, he took the plate to the kitchen and evacuated his apartment. He still remembered where John's apartment was situated, it was embedded in his head...in fact, it was close to the Meditation Lane boulevard. He journeyed until he arrived at the building where John's apartment was situated, then he strolled to the door of his apartment.

He knocked on it twice, but there was no response, then he knocked on it again, but there was still no response, then he thought to himself,

'Hope they aren't still f**king? Like, it would be so unbelievable if they are, are they animals?'.

He knocked on the door once again, but there was still no response. He knocked on it twice again, but still, the case was the same. He was already getting frustrated, he was getting tired of knocking. But then, he heard a feminine voice behind him say,

"Hi".

He turned around immediately to see a young girl that would be nothing older than 17 to 19 years, then she inquired of him,

"Are you looking for the main occupant of this house?".

"Yeah".

"He's definitely not around, he must have gone to work".

"Gone to work? First of all, I wanna be sure you know who I'm asking of. What's his name?". Leonard inquired.

"His name is John. And what do you mean by 'Gone to work?', why do you look so surprised? Like, hasn't he reached the age to work, he's a f**king man". She uttered.

Leonard took it like men who transmigrate into this earth wouldn't have to work, he took it like their priority was to accomplish their different quests. But as the system told him, there is something he wasn't aware of. But he had been given information, there's no need to keep knocking on the door, it would just be a waste of time. He thanked the girl for informing him,

"Thanks for the information".

"No prob". She uttered.

Then he began strolling back home, the plan was to come back in the evening to check on him once again, he'll most likely meet him by that time. Leonard felt like visiting that free gym once again to exercise his body, to workout, to sweat. But he was gonna go later, he had more important things to handle right now, crucial things to think about regarding his quest.

He strolled until he arrived at the front of his apartment and entered it. Before evening arrived, Leonard engaged himself in activities, you know, some of those jobless activities. Like, watching TV, doing the dishes, eating lunch, doing repeated push-ups, and so on. He was on the couch with his eyes solely fixed on the TV screen when he decided to check the clock in the parlor.

"Holy shit! 6:28 pm, 2 minutes to 6:30 pm, I gotta hurry to John's apartment right now". He uttered to himself as he quickly got up from the couch, put off the television, and strolled over to his room to change into something more fashionable...he was putting on very casual clothes right now.

He didn't bath 'cause he felt like he didn't need to, he was feeling cool. He put on the outfits he wore in the morning, then he did some little grooming like combing his hair and all that before departing from his apartment. He journeyed until he arrived at the door of John's apartment once again.

'He must be home by now'. He thought to himself as he began knocking on the door.

He knocked the first time, no response, he knocked again, this time, harder, but still no response.

"What the f**k is happening? Isn't he home yet? What sort of work is he doing?". Leonard questioned himself in a bit of annoyance.

He knocked on the door once again, but there was still no response, it was evident that he wasn't in. All Leonard wanted to do was to ask him a question regarding the idea he gave him to implement, but finding him at home was this hard? And the worst part of it was that he was running out of time, it's remaining two weeks and three days, and the quest would expire.

He decided to wait for John a little, maybe he'll soon show up, this was something crucial. There were about two chairs around the boulevard not too far from John's apartment, so he sauntered over to one and sat on it. Sitting on that chair for minutes, John hadn't still shown up. He wasn't impatient, at least, he wasn't busy with anything, so he decided to wait some more.

Time kept on passing as he sat on that chair waiting for John, but he didn't show up. The sky was dark already, it was complete dusk, the people walking about on the street were reducing, and still, John hadn't shown up.

"What sort of work is he doing? Is it menial jobs? When does he plan on coming home?". Leonard questioned himself, now, he was already losing his patience.

He sat on that chair for some minutes more, but still, the case was the same. He got up from the chair, he didn't plan on waiting anymore, he had lost his patience. He'll just have to implement the plan he came up with even though it's dangerous, there was nothing more he could do. He glanced at the door of John's apartment and uttered to himself,

"Why are you taking so much time to come home?".

Then he began sauntering, his apartment was the destination. As he strolled, he thought about what he planned on implementing to find out the type of men Eva likes. What he planned on doing could get him into trouble if he gets caught, but he'll have to do it...whatever comes.
