Behave

Jennie walks into the lobby and says hello to a friend on her way out of work that day. Her friend Joe greats her and asks her how she is doing and she “alright” and she hears her response echo like someone is mocking her. She was sure it wasn’t Joe but where was the voice coming from. As she walked out more, she looked up and saw Ted standing there. Jennie looks up at him and says “Really? You can’t talk to me when I am downstairs but from the second floor balcony you can speak. Do we need to be this far away before you can talk to me?” he looks at her and says “no in a very y matter of fact way. Ted was always good for those statements. He is a hard man to read and even harder to crack.


“So I hear you won’t be here tomorrow. Is there any way you can switch so you can be?” she asked. Ted looked at her and knew what she meant. Jennie didn’t want the replacement who they would be sending to be there he kind of gave her the creeps last time he was in. Ted just looked at her and said “no but that really was freaky what he said I can be freaky too”. Jennie cut him off before he could finish and said “ yeah but ya know it’s ok to be freaky you just need to keep it under wraps until you know the other person can handle it. They both nodded in agreement and ended that cryptic conversation. As they spoke more people had been coming I the door and Joe had to do his job to check them and make sure the building remained secure. Jennie just smiled as Ted watched from above and didn’t come down to help Joe.


Jennie looked up and him grinned and said “Behave” and he got this evil grin on his face and said in a low sexy voice “Never, you just need to not get caught”. Jennie giggled and walked out of the building.
