You Owe me One

Cole - -begin frequency Chester

Datr - [Begin Frequency]

Datr - [Chester is slowly filling up a cabinet in his bathroom with more unopened boxes of toothbrushes. Chester himself has a bit of messy hair and half open eyes while he's hunched over to shove the new boxes all the way back into the drawer.]

Cole - why the fuck do you have so many toothbrushes....anyways heyyyyy i need you to do somethin for me

Datr - [Chester jolts slightly on hearing a voice. He sighs heavily and hangs his head, "I don't have the time for this today."]

Cole - it'll be really fast, please

Datr - [Chester sassily puts a hand on the counter with an annoyed expression, "This better be quick."]

Cole - like 5 minutes, can you possibly find out what that name biker helmet fucker has?

Datr - [Chester closes the drawer and snickers, "Yeah five minutes. To get the name of that loon I'd have to walk to work... well my old work. Then have a chance to run into old co-workers who will probably stop me to ridicule me."]

Cole - please? this is like the one thing that i'll ever ask you to do, i can't speak for the others but this is like the one thing I will need you to do

Datr - [He taps his fingers on the counter with a slight grumble, "Grrr... Fine. But You owe me." He tosses the rest of the boxes in the corner and heads out to his living room.]

Cole - right, just don't make it something ridiculous like sneaking you into somewhere

Datr - ["Right." He snatches a lavender lanyard with an ID attached as he heads to his door. He pockets his keys and moves outside. He locks the door behind himself.]

Cole - you're gonna do that aren't you?

Datr - ["Sort of. But we will get to that later." Chester heads down the stairs of the apartment building with a slight limp on one leg]

Cole - god damn it, also are you good?

Datr - ["What do you mean?" He gets down the stairs and out of the apartment building. He makes his way down sidewalks partly covered in colorful Fall leaves.]

Cole - you were limping a little

Datr - ["I have a bad ankle."]

Cole - i see, i won't bother you about it

Datr - ["Well you just did." He crosses a road and goes around a block.]

Cole - i meant i won't bother you about it more

Datr - ["Mhm sure, man." Chester walks into the parking lot of a business in downtown Cherrywood. It has a smooth gray exterior and an equal as bland sign and logo. "So just the name? Nothing else you want? Not even his number?"]

Cole - just his name

Datr - ["Very well deary~" Chester jokes before stepping through the glass double doors. He walks in and immediately sees the familiar face of a coworker who gives him a glare.]

Cole - God you are a flirty fucker, just get his name and don't get a sexual harassment charge

Datr - [Chester snidely remarks, "Don't try to tell me what to do." The co-worker overhears and scoffs back, "Oh yeah? Well you don't exactly work here anymore. I could tell you to fuck off for trespassing." Chester grumbles to himself, "I just forgot something at my desk."]

Cola - real smooth

Datr - [Chester rolls his eyes and keeps walking to the office with a grin. The co-worker continues to rant, "You get what you left and I better not see that trash ridden face around again. You hear me?" Chester opens the door to the offices as he calls out, "Loud and clear hag!" He steps into the office.]

Cole - good god, these people seem to heavily dislike you

Datr - ["That's because I heavily dislike THEM." Chester looks ahead at his old desk to see the stranger with the bike helmet sitting at the seat while typing something up. Chester pauses in place.]

Cole - well? look for a nameplate or documents that he might've signed?

Datr - [Chester sighs as he walks up to behind the stranger and clears his throat. The stranger turns to face Chester. Chester speaks, "Hey I'm Chester. I was the worker they fired before hiring you and I think I may have left something at this desk by mistake." The stranger stares without a word.]

Cole - i forgot he doesn't talk....just start looking i suppose

Datr - [Chester awkwardly takes a step towards the desk but the stranger says nothing. Chester opens a drawer and looks into it. The stranger doesn't stop him as he keeps searching.]

Cole - hmm, doesn't seem like he cares that much

Datr - [Chester grumbles as he takes awhile to search before finding an unopened toothbrush box. He pulls it out, closes the drawer and gives the stranger a smile, "Found it thank you!" He stares awkwardly for a moment as the stranger remains quiet. All Chester sees his own reflection on the bike helmet staring back at him. He blinks some, "Good talk." Chester heads out the office door.]

Cole - Right, i'm assuming you found it

Datr - ["Mhm." Chester briskly leaves the building as the co-worker yells at him on his way out, "HAVE FUN BEING UNEMPLOYED YA LONELY SHIT BAG." Chester's fist tightens slightly as he heads past the parking lot and out of earshot.]

Cole - sooooo did you find his name?

Datr - ["Even better! I stole his ID." Chester fiddles with a plastic card in his pocket.]

Cole - awesome, amazing

Datr - [Chester takes the card out and looks it over, "Looks like a wolf hybrid."]

Cole - so that instantly erases the idea i had

Datr - ["The man looks boring as hell." Chester makes a face at the bland mugshot.]

Cole - right, right that's great but can i have his name?

Datr - ["Oh! Sorry, yes! But only as soon as you promise that you owe me one." He smiles.]

Cole - fuck, fine i owe you one just don't make it anything absurd

Datr - ["Ok! We havvvve-" Chester holds the card closer to his own face, "-one Mr.Creek Miller."]

Cole - got it, now what do I owe you?

Datr - ["I will tell you when that day gets closer." Chester puts the card away in his pocket.]

Cole - right, well thank you for the help Chester

Datr - ["No problem." He finger guns for a moment before realizing others can see him as he hides his hands away awkwardly.]
