Snippet #1953018

Knox placed his phone down for a moment. He petted Florence on the head before thinking about what he had been sent.

Obviously it was serious if the person texted me, which means they must know me from somewhere... he thought. This is all too weird, maybe I should turn my phone off and pretend it never happened... Knox picked up his phone to turn it off to see that the screen had already gone black. Weird. Maybe it ran out of battery. On second thoughts, he might need it. Knox turned his phone back on.

Knox couldn't just skip work, it wouldn't be good and how was he supposed to explain it? Just say that he got a text from an unknown number telling him to leave? Knox decided that he'd drop in and tell them that he wouldn't be coming in, he'd lie, say there are family issues or something.

He left the house and made his way there.
