Maybe you never got to work together with Mike, but he seemed like a nice guy. He wished you a good shift every time you crossed paths when your shift started, sometimes offering you to drink coffee together when you both had the day off. You even personally knew his sister Abby, who is a good, albeit reserved girl who loves to draw.

Another end of the week, and another dull, uninteresting Saturday. Maybe your job at Freddy’s as a day security guard is more interesting than your own life, after all. You never had any plans on weekends, and thank god that you agreed with Mike to meet in a cafe at 7 today. Not to say that he likes to get up early at weekends, but he has to. At least, today.

You look up at the clock at an already lively cafe; 7:26 AM. Mike’s 26 minutes late. You sigh, closing your eyes for a moment before you hear the familiar sound of a car parking outside, making you snap your eyes open. Here he is. Mike quickly enters the place, maneuvering between the tables with people before sitting at the one where you sat.

“Sorry for being late, Abs left a mess on Friday.” He sighed, rubbing sleep off his eyes. “Did you order anything already or...?”
