Chapter 1

The Accidental Meeting

     It was a dark and stormy night. A young man is standing near the corner of 5th and Baker street, trying to hail a taxi. Frustrated at the oblivious taxis the 19 year old, Jason, decides to walk. By the time he gets to the corner of 8th and Baker St. his clothes are completely saturated by the incessant line of cars splashing water on him as they passed by. The hand signal is red as he comes to a stop. He stands there a moment and begins to shiver as the cold seeps through the many layers of fabric and finally finds its destination: his warm skin. This is the longest light, he thinks as he dances slightly in place, trying to keep warm. Finally, the signal changes and Jason begins to walk out into the intersection. April, driving her 2007 Ford F150, slams on her brakes having not noticed that Jason was in the crosswalk. Jason leapt out of the way, but not in time to avoid getting nicked by her truck.
     "What are you doing?!" Jason screamed out. "Didn't you see that your light was red?"
     "How can I see anything?" replied April agitatedly. "I can't! It is raining so hard I can't see anything!"
     "Why are you driving then?"
     "I need to get to my appointment which, by the way, I am already late for. And now YOU are making me even more late, just standing there with that 'I can't believe I almost got hit!' look on your face."
     Jason was shocked, "Well I am not stopping you, continue on please!"

The 2 exchange information, because after all April did hit him with her truck. Jason not being prepared he had to write the phone # down on his hand, and all of her information. Jason looks at his hand nice and neat. Her #, her address etc, all there.  April gets back into her car spins off in a fit of rage and heads towards her destination. Jason runs for cover at the corner of the street. Jason then look at his hand to see if everything is ok, and notices that the ink is running off his hand. NOOOOOO cried out Jason. This is not good. I need a way to copy this down before it smears. As Jason runs into a store to get a pen and paper he notices that the writing is completely washed off. Jason in disgust leaves the store and heads home. When Jason arrives at his house he walks through his doors, through his living room to the kitchen. He notices the answering machine light linking. He quickly plays it back and notices it is from some # he does not recognize. Could this be April's #. When the message plays back, a voice comes on, but the voice is all garbled. This is A___l Delight. Please meet me and my lawyers office at _ pm on _th and ___ard. Stupid machines replied Jason, just wish they would work from the get go. Now what do I do I have a partial name partial place to meet her and no phone #.

Tune in when voting is done to see what Jason is going to do next.....
