04/21/12(Sat)00:17 No.18799362You give Elsie a gentle shake. She wakes slightly, and then realizes you were going to go answer the phone. She sits up and looks at the clock.
"Who the hell's calling here at 2am?"
"An excellent question," you respond as you cross the room. "Hello?"
"H-hello?" A voice asks over the line. "I-is this Dave?"
"Dave's not here at the moment, but I'm a friend of his. Can I help you?"
"My mom... she told me to call this number if I ever needed help."
"O....Kay.... How can I help?"
"T-these men came into my moms bakery.... They started yelling at Brain, he's my mom's friend, helps out sometimes. Anyway, they started arguing and then one of them... they pulled out a gun and...."
You can hear her freaking out a little over the phone. "Hey, hey. Listen. It's going to be alright. Where are you? Right now?"
"I.... I don't know. after h-he.... after he shot.... he pointed at me and said 'there she is' and I ran."
"Alright, listen. What's your name?"
"Cass. Casandra."
"Alright. Cass? Do you see somewhere near you? Visible with lots of people?"
"There's a Casino. The.... Venetian?"
"Go there. Wait somewhere with lots of visibility, call me on my personal line when you find somewhere safe." You send her your number "I'll come find you right now, ok?"
"A-alright. Alright. I can do this."
"Alright, be safe Cass, I'm coming."
You hang up the phone. "What the hell?" Elsie comments, now fully awake. "What was that?"
"Not sure, but it sounds like somebody's in trouble. Care to join me?"
"Yeah, let me get my coat." |
