0004-Call Johnny Joe's and order something

From Create Your Own Story

“Screw it, let's order some Johnny Joe's.” You say as you pull the menu down from the fridge. You skim over the delivery menu and decide what you want. As you toss the menu over to Jason, the two of you hear pounding on the wall. The noise is coming from the neighbor’s apartment.

“Keep it down over there, you dick!” Jason shouts as he pounds back. "Come on man," you say to Jason. "I have to live here." The pounding on the wall is joined with a lot of banging around in the apartment next door. You try to ignore the noise as you get ready to call in the order. Ten to fifteen minutes pass, and the noise comes to a halt with the sound of glass shattering.

"It's about damn time..." Jason says. You pick up the phone and dial the number. The order has been called in and you have about twenty to thirty minutes of waiting now. You decide to go ahead and get ready for the day while you wait. You still have a lot you want to get done today.

After a quick change of clothes, you head into the bathroom to freshen up. You brush your teeth, style your hair, and pop any would-be facial embarrassments. Jason doesn't seem to work as hard at getting ready, but somehow he still seems to look pretty decent for a public appearance.

Twenty minutes has gone by since making the call, and your stomach growls to inform you that it is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the food. You grab your wallet and pull out the cash you need for the order, plus a generous tip (as usual), and set it down on the table. No harm in being prepared.

You sit down on the couch and turn the television on to keep yourself entertained while you wait. "Where the hell is the food?" Jason loudly asks as he sits down next to you. You look at the clock and realize that another forty minutes has passed. "You should call and complain, maybe we can eat for free." Jason says with a smile. You quickly call Johnny Joe's for the second time today, and the manager of the store sounds as surprised as you that the food has not arrived yet.

Another 15 minutes goes by, and the two of you grow impatient. "Forget this, we should just go out. Stupid ass delivery drivers. Let the order come out of his check." You agree with Jason, and get up to grab your keys. "Let's go!" you say to Jason and start heading for the door. "Hold on a second." Jason says as he grabs a piece of paper and a marker. "I'm putting this on the door!" Jason says as he hands you the paper which reads "Dear delivery driver, Get a watch you moron!". You laugh and walk out into the hallway.

As soon as you step into the hallway, you notice something is off. There appears to be some blood on the wall leading either to or from the elevator and stairs. Your neighbor's door is open. "That's odd..." you say as you step closer to the doorway. He doesn't usually keep his door open, and upon further investigation, you realize the door has been forcefully opened. Looking into the apartment, you see somebody laying still on the floor. There's blood on the walls and the carpet. The entire apartment is wrecked.
