I met Her 4 Coffee

Jay hears the phone as he notices that Gemma’s phone was left with a note on top of it! The note read, “answer if you want to see her again!”

Jay picked up the phone and answered, “Hello” in his frantic but angered voice. “Follow these instructions and listen well! There’s a market on the thrid corner and across the street, there’s an old phone shop. I want you to go in and order 3 rotary phones and pay for them with your pension transfer code.” The voice was old and creepy, with a distorted digital pitch. “Who is this?” Jay replied with anger. “I would hurry up if I were you! She very beautiful! Get to the store! You have one hour! The tone on the phone went dead!

Jay confused and not knowing what to do, he started to dial 911 and hung up. The phone rung, “ this is 9-1-1 did you just place a call?” “Sorry, it was a misdial”, Jay replied and hung up the phone!

Jay started to pace the floor and couldn’t find a solution to his new problem! The phone started to ring again. “Jay babe!” “Gem—-“ Jay’s cry was interrupted by that voice again! “Don’t try anything! We have someone watching you and you better be on time!” The phone call ended and Jay level of anger increased.

Jay called his HR dept to gather financial information to his pension to gain the access code. “ Hello, this is Jay Dobb and I have a financial emergency. I need to make a withdrawal from my pension account.” The representative replied, “withdrawals and transfers can take upto 7 business days to complete” Jay shook his head in disbelief. “Is there not a way to have this process expedited?” “Are you ok, young man?” The rep asked as she heard the anger and tears in Jay’s voice. “Ma’am, I just need my money as soon as possible!” Jay replied. “How much?” Jay paused, “I need all of it!” The rep gasped, “Sir, that’s nearly 2.5 million, may I ask where is this transfer going?”

“The code please!” Jay replied in a disappointing voice. “Standby, young man! You will receive a two-step code. One will go to your phone via text, and the other to your email on file. After authentication, you will receive an automated call with the transfer code and wiring instructions.”

Jay gave the rep a relieved “Thank you!” Moments after Jay hung up the phone, he realized that only two people was currently aware of his pension with the job. One, Ms. Rose who he talk to all the time about his job and two, his ex, Rochelle. Jay’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as he made his way to the phone shop.

He called Rochelle, but no answer as the call transferred directly to voicemail. The thought never crossed his mind that Ms. Rose would be involved, but his thoughts could fry an egg thinking about Rochelle.

Jay arrived to the phone shop and scanned the area before getting out his SUV. He waited a few minutes as his hour deadline was almost over. Jay got out and entered the phone shop.

“Can I help you, young man?” The store clerk greeted him and gave Jay a look from head to toe. “Yes, I need two classic rotary phones, please. With the extra long cord, please” Jay started to rub his hands to calm down the nervousness. “I’ll be right back! Let me check my inventory real quick.” As the clerk slowly turned and started to walk in the back.
