What About Us Last Request 7 Breezes

-So Jerry, is that all? Are we missing something?

-I don't think so; new mugs are done, the shelves are tied up. I've also inspected the boxes of new s.h.i.+pments that came in. These were the ch.o.r.es we're supposed to take care.

-Have you checked in with the new storage clients?

-No Mam. I will when I get the chance.

-Okay.

-(sounds of gla.s.ses and some mopping)

-Can you make me something hard? All these carrying...I'm exhausted.

-Yeah...(sighs)give me a minute...okay; these last few bottles.

-What are you doing tomorrow? It's really uncommon for management to let us take a day off.

-I guess the upper level administration was made aware.

-Hmm. That is a possibility. Did you get called in...by the higher ups?

-No. And that's a relief..(hands over the drink)here you go.

-I see...so what're you gonna do tomorrow? Let's meet up at my place.

-I'm sorry Layla. I already promised Jane...you see; today was her birthday and I couldn't be there for her this all day.

-Huh, today is..let's see...oh! I see. I am sorry Jerry I wasn't aware of today's date.

-It's alright.

-...Hey! Listen I have bought Dad's car today. We'll still have plenty of time to celebrate if we take the car.

-That's nice of you but I think I will make it just in time. And besides I still have a whole day waiting to spend time with her. You, you don't really have to..

-It's fine as long as you drive. Or is it that me being there will be awkward for you? (Sighs)I haven't seen her her for like months now.

-You know it's nothing like that. And your parents might just get worried if you arrive late.

-...

-(Sighs)okay give me the keys. And for G.o.d's sake don't drink!! How could you drive back if...you know what?

-What?

-Give me the number of your parents? I will let them know,- As I was about to give an old couple a reason to be in a state of anxiety and uncertainty, the telephone over the bar started ringing already.

19:05 Bar

-Yeah?

-Whoah big guy! I was just thinking of coming to the bar.

-Ms. Inspector huh? I gotta say I didn't expect a call from you; not until everything's been clear.

-...alright? And last thing, if the old guard gives any trouble just tell him 'Jerry' has sent you.

-Yeah, it's '21/B',- 'Okay!' I said to myself as I placed the receiver down. 'That was a mistake.'
