Chapter 9 - JOES DISAPPROVAL (1/2)

***** phone rings *****

Barry looks at the screen of the phone.....

” Joe's calling me, I wonder why”, Barry said

” Hmm.. Hello Joe, what's up ”, Barry asked.

” Get your a.s.s down here immediately Barry. You have some explaining to do ”, Joe said sounding annoyed.

( What the hell did I do this time)

” I'll be there in twenty minutes”, Barry said.

***** call disconnects *****

” Barry sure lives a busy life. I wonder just how he handles everything ”, Barry said.

” Joe's gotta pay me overtime for this. Wonder why Barry never had a car”, Barry said dreamily.

” I would have just loved to rob banks and go on heists. Money is not really my strong suit now. But maybe I was brought here for a special reason”, Barry sighed.

” If not for the...Wait a minute, gosh, almost forgot about Joe ”, Barry mumbled.

He walks lazily to the street and waits for some time. After a while, a cab comes by. He hails the cab and told it to head for the police station.

AT THE STATION...

” Good morning, lieutenant Pete, you're early today aren't you? ”, Barry greeted a man at a desk close to him.

” Yeah, morning Barry”, he replied.

” Have you seen Joe around?,” Barry asked.

” Yup, he's been in his office ever since he arrived”, the man repied.

” Alright, thanks a lot Pete” Barry replied gratefully.

Barry walks past some offices an makes a turn before getting to the door of Joe's office.
