Chapter 11 - Michael is a second late

When we do not know what life is, how can we know what death is. Life has no value unless we find something in it to fight for

Dexter woke up and put on his work clothes.. Then he took his spare clothes with him because he decided to go for a walk after work. .. Dexter used to put on his work clothes and go to work without using the changing room at work because it was a fast food shop It is only separated from it by the public garden that is located in the city of Alex, and in particular a place called 'Abu Qir'. That area was in the west of the city of Alex in the continent or the Kingdom of Rockstar

Then Dexter began to comb his hair well, then took his bag of clothes that he decided to take with him, then put the key in the door with a simple pull. The door was opened and he went down from the house on his way to work as any normal day

April 12, 1990.. on Friday.. at One third past six

Dexter moves a bit slowly because there are twenty minutes left until the shop opens and he can get around the park in less than a quarter of an hour

"I don't want to wait too long because Michael was a little late yesterday.. I remember him telling me that his daughter was very tired so he had to deliver his daughter and his wife to the hospital with her so she could take some treatments and medicines..

Then he came to the shop quickly so he wouldn't keep me waiting Or that's what he said.. Astor That's the name of his son Michael A handsome girl with a bright smile I've seen Astor a lot of times in the past month It seems that she loves her father a little because of the many frequent visits .. Well, I wish her a speedy recovery. "

Dexter thought to himself as he covered more than half the distance until he came out of the garden through the other door

After a few steps after leaving the garden, Dexter arrived at the fast food store until he arrived right in front of the door and then said

"Damn it.. not every day" Dexter knew the door was closed and Michael hadn't arrived yet to open the door so the only solution was to wait

A minute passed .. two .. three

"Well, I'm really tired of waiting! I have to play some games on my phone when Michael comes back." Dexter thought to himself as he took out his mobile phone from his pocket... A mobile phone with four cameras and a side fingerprint... Science has developed a lot to make a smart phone with cameras, and all of this is less than half a kilogram in size.

But the newest feature that came down a short while ago is the one called the Hologram. When you open it, you can then pull the image off your phone and put it in the air right in front of you. It's like you're making a screen without wires or a stand... a flying light screen in the air

And so when Dexter unlocked his phone

[ April 12, 1990 ]

" What is this ? Is my phone broken? Isn't this yesterday's date? Did you get mixed up with that damn phone? Even the date setting I registered with the network is incorrect?" Dexter said with a bit of anger.

" Well, don't worry." He added and continued, then started opening a high- quality car game, then started playing, but before he finished his turn..

An old-fashioned black car stopped in front of him

" And now he remembered coming." Dexter thought to himself, and then Mr. Michael started to get out of that old- fashioned car

"Good morning, Dexter," Michael said, locking the car door, taking the keys out of his pocket, then starting to move towards the shop door to open it.

" Sorry, Dexter, for the delay, but my daughter has been very sick since yesterday, so I had to drive her to the hospital...

I sent her to the hospital with her mom and you came so soon anyway sorry to keep you waiting like this" Michael starts to let out his excuse for being late as he explains about his daughter Astor a little anxiously

" Well, I know you're a good dad, but do you have to be late every day? At least he should have called me and let me know he was going to be late. I would have been a little late too, but is every day he will be late like this? Damn it." Dexter thought to himself

Then Michael started to enter the shop but some words came out of Dexter's mouth unintentionally

" Is every day you will be late like this? Oh, sorry, I mean, was your daughter not recovered from yesterday? I heard you told me you took her to the hospital yesterday or something."

" What ? When did that happen ? I don't remember being told this before.. This is the first time I've told you this.. I thought Astor would be well by morning but this morning I got even more tired " Michael said, trying to think of Dexter's words

"Oh, sorry, looks like a mistake in the memories," Dexter replied

"Well, anyway, do your job, and if you need me for anything, I'll be in my office doing some paperwork," Michael said, then moved straight to the room next to the rotisserie room. .. A secluded room for a president in which he holds his secret safe and a lot of money

"Well, a lot of things aren't right now. I feel like I'm in a circular ring, but it's cut off in the middle, leaving a void. There's a part missing. That's for sure. There's a part missing," Dexter thought to himself.

Then he started to bring a plastic box with water in it, along with a regular broom, and he started dipping the broom into the water box while saying, "The work has begun."
