THE WAREHOUSE HOTLINE

|24|: My Name's Georgia

"Welcome to the Warehouse Hotline, how can I make your day even more evil?"

"Um, is Sapphire there — the one who usually answers this phone?"

A meek voice asked from the other end of the line.

"May I know who is calling?"

"Um, my names Georgia."

There was background shuffling until a familiar voice came to the other end of the line.

"Hello."

"Hi, um, my name's Georgia. Avery's friend."

"Who?"

"You know the girl that talks to you."

"Oh, Clarisse. What's up?"

"I just wanted to ring you on behalf of her, to thank you."

"Thank me? For what?"

"For saving us."

"I didn't save you and there's no need to thank me."

"Whoever saved us came on time, because the two men would've kidnapped one of us."

A sniffle came from the other end of the line causing Sapphire to get curious. 

"The-they would've killed one of us."

"I'm-."

"I'm not lying, I promise you. I overheard them say this."

"Who?"

"The two men that were here yesterday."

"Do you know how they looked like?"

"Villainous."

"That doesn't really help, since you're calling a villain hotline."

"So-sorry. They had this dark look in their eyes and looked ready to kill."

"Where's Clarisse?"

"She's resting. The police have talked to us about it, but no one knows this."

There was a gulp heard from the other end of the line which made Sapphire started to become curious.

"After-after, the two people were arrested. There was a note."

Sapphire grew curious by the moment.

"What did it say?"

"It says, you're next."

"Then just yesterday another note came, it said, 'growing closer and closer by the minute.'"

"I-I'm scared they'll get Avery or me. I-I don't know what to do."

"Stay calm, it'll get... better, I assure you that."

"Really? I've heard that from the cops all night and morning today, tell me something I haven't heard."

"It's been two days since Clarisse called last."

"What do you know exactly about me?"

"I know you're the person that helped her tell me about Winston. The cheating boyfriend. I also know you were the one who prevented the both of us from getting kidnapped."

"Alright. Alright. Stop with the victories, please."

"What exactly did you want or possibly think you could gain from calling?"

"For you to help us, please?"

"What could I possibly do?"

"I want to get to the bottom of who this person could be. Who is sending these mysterious notes. As well as why? You're the only person that can help me."

"The Warehouse Hotline are registered for evil and the Penthouse Hotline are registered to do good. So what do you think?"

"Um, maybe?"

"Villains don't associate themselves with good."

Georgia grew confused and worried.

"But villains do like to kick butt."

"Does that mean it's a yes?"

Georgia's hopeful voice sprang.

"Consider it whatever you wish."
