Post #2514317 in A Secret World, a roleplay on RPG

"Okay, this is what were going to do. The other two addresses that we wrote down earlier, where going to check out those places too, but not tonight. It's getting late enough as it is and you've been away from your post too long. Besides, I have to go a take care of the body in the alleyway, write a report, and other annoying amounts of paperwork from everything that happened tonight. I'm dropping you back off at the mall."

They pulled up right back at the mall where all this craziness took off. Jason handed him a paper with the addresses copied down as well as one of his cards.

"Tomorrow, just call or text me when you're ready, and we'll meet at one of the two locations, which we'll discuss which one at that time. Don't worry, I'll contact your supervisor and clear things up if you need me to, so just give me a heads up. I'm going to make sure we solve this, and make sure this hard work didn't go to waste."

He nodded, stepping out of the car after pocketing the cards he was handed.

"I have to admit though, you handled yourself pretty well tonight. Ever think of joining the police? No offense to mall security, but I think your skills would be better put to use in the QCPD."

He looked back to see Jason speaking to him from his car.
"If they pay better and they're willing to hire me you can count on it." Was his response. His dedication to this job was based purely on the fact they were hiring and he needed the cash. He knew for a fact that the police force paid better but without much job history or references he didn't stand much of a chance.

"Alright, I have to make a call so I'll see you later."

"Right, see ya." He bid his new acquaintance farewell before turning around and walking back into the mall through the same way he left. He locked the storage door behind him and proceeded into the shop. As he got in he proceeded back through the opening in the mesh fence and locked it closed like it was supposed to be.

Luck had spared him this day as apparently the guard who was supposed to relieve him for his lunch break had been busy with the other guards as the time right around that particular hour was lunch break for many of the guards. He got his break a little later than usual but in this rare instance late was good.

The night went rather uneventfully since then. Dawn arrived and then a couple hours later the day guard came by to relieve him of his post. The guy was five minutes late but after all the crap he had to put up with today some dude being a little tardy seemed rather minor in comparison. He handed his radio in and signed out, leaving the mall and heading on back home.

As he got back home he felt tired. Not just the regular kind of tired after a day of hard work but nearly passing out on his feet tired. He just barely managed to brush his teeth and get out of his uniform before going straight to sleep on the bed.

It was the strangest sleep he's had. He didn't have a single dream that night but that was not all. He felt rather ill all throughout as if his body were fighting some sort of infection. He's never gotten sick before in his past so the feeling was completely new to him. Needless to say he didn't sleep very well.

The next day

He woke up from his restless night. A fine sheen of sweat had gathered on his forehead while he slept. He sat up and rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes. He felt quite low as if he had barely gotten any sleep that night. Looking over he saw the clock read six thirty PM. Six thirty in the evening!? I've slept twelve hours and yet it's like I haven't slept a wink. He was surprised by just how bad he was feeling despite the amount of sleep he's had. He dismissed it as just him sleeping badly and got into his morning routine.

He took his time with eating breakfast. Yesterday was the last day he had to work for the week. The company he worked for could only allot so many hours to someone, the time exceeding that going into overtime pay. If there was one thing the company he worked for loathed to part with more than anything else it was money. Hence, after working his share of work for the week he had at least three days off before he had to go back.
I could use that time to see about applying for the police force He plotted his course of action for the remaining week while he finished off his bowl of dry CheeriO's.

As it was, he just wanted to go back to bed and sleep straight through to tomorrow but he remembered that Jason wanted him to call today so they could go back to one of those places they checked out and investigate. He lazily picked the phone up and dialed the number on the card as he walked with the phone out of his apartment onto the front steps of the apartment.

He sat at the bottom step of his apartment complex, phone up against his ear as he waited for the guy to pick up. He was dressed in a casual ensemble of a plain white t-shirt which could definitely use a bleaching considering the faded miscellaneous stains covering a good portion of it, a pair of old beat up blue jeans and a set of well worn out sneakers. The sneakers had a hole right in them right in front of the right foots big toe.

He watched as people close to his age walked home along his street, fresh from school. He didn't feel very comfortable with the number of people in his general area but he put that discomfort aside while he waited for Jason to pick up the phone.
