READY FOR AN IMPRESSIONAfter getting off the call with his new friend, Allen couldn't help but drift into fantasies about Betty. He had been drawn to her from the moment they started talking, and now he found himself wishing she was his girlfriend. He imagined what it would be like to hold her hand and take her on dates.However, from the conversation he had had with her over the phone, it was evident that Betty was from a rich family.She seemed rich, and from how she said that she had a driver, it was obvious her parents were rich.Allen went to take a shower, and after going through social media to entertain himself, he dropped the phone and went off to sleep..************Allen woke up the next morning at 6 am.He quickly set about cleaning the room.Then, after he was done, he had some breakfast.He was now living alone and had to adjust things to his liking.Allen was not used to eating out, so he quickly ordered some groceries.Fortunately for him, the house was en suite and
I COULD USE THAT FOR A WEEK!!Allen looked at the great fence of the restaurant.He looked at his wristwatch and realized he was just five minutes early.“ Right on time” He murmured as he walked towards the big gatesHe saw the 3D inscription on the giant building of the restaurant.“ THE EXECUTIVE GOURMET” Allen smiled and looked at his sides one more time.He walked through the gate and headed for the door to the restaurant.Before he could get to the door, he received a call.Allen looked at the caller and realized it was Betty.He immediately answered the call and placed the phone to his ear.“ Good afternoon Betty” Allen greeted as soon as he placed the phone to his ear.“ Hey. I am inside here and I can see you out there. First row, last table on your left.” Betty said.“ Okay, see you in a minute,” Allen said and hung up the phone.He walked with a smile on his face into the restaurant.The security guard at the gate opened the door for him with a smile, and Allen walked in f
AN EXPENSIVE GIRLBetty looked up and caught Allen staring at him.“ Have you settled on anything?” Betty asked Allen.Allen shook his head in the negative.“ Okay, I think we should settle for a table instead,” Betty said.Allen did not understand what Betty just said, but he acted like he did.Betty turned to the waitress who was waiting for her.“ Give us the second American table here. Everything inclusive” Betty told the waitress.Alen did not know what table, but looking at the second page of the menu, something caught his attention.There was a list of meals compiled together under one category each and a fixed price, with the reading as Table d’hote.Allen looked through it and was surprised. Food there began from a thousand dollars, and what Betty had just requested was a thousand eight hundred dollars.Allen opened his mouth in shock.He slowly closed the menu and gave it back to the waitress who left to prepare their order.“ Excuse me, Betty, but something is not quite rig
SON OF THE SYSTEM, A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. Allen walked outside and began his journey home.As he walked, he thought about Betty.Betty was a young girl, beautiful and always beaming with smiles.Her communication skills were top notch, and she had an impeccable accent.From Allen's observations, she was very outspoken yet very calm.He could tell from her soft eyes that she was dealing with something silently, especially when she stylishly dismissed the topic about her parents.Allen thought she might have some from a broken home or probably was having problems with her parents.From her demeanour, appearance, lifestyle, and calibre, it was evident her parents were rich, and she was spoiled at a very young age, but still had some morals..Allen noted her way of speech and demeanour.She was just twenty years but acted like a grown woman, which showed that she had gone through some early emotional changes than normal.Allen thought about Betty all the way home.His plans he had planned f
SEE INTO THE FUTURE.Allen walked hurriedly to the shop where Roland usually bought the items for work.Luckily, he had gone there on several occasions alone to purchase the items, and so the attendants knew him.Allen got to the subway and began his work for the day. He had arrived quite earlier than usual.He had a whole lot of work to do that day as he was alone, and he had to finish on time in order to be able to meet the demands of his customers.Working alone today seemed really weird for him and he felt uneasy doing everything by himself; however, he was able to do it all alone.The first night of working alone went pretty well on his side, and by a half past 10pm, he was already done selling off all his stuff, and that was the same time they were used to closing.His usual customers who had come and had not seen Roland had taken turns to inquire. why he was not there that day, and he had repeated his response over and over again. “ He travelled to check on some things.”.Allen
MAN WITH A WEAPONAllen opened his eyes.The man with the handkerchief stood in front of him, and, surprising enough, he was still at the scene.It now occurred to him that he had just had a deja vu.It looked like he had been into the future and back.He looked at the man who sat in the car, trying to engage him“Okay, I am sorry to bother you but we are headed towards the hospital. A friend of ours is injured in the back, could you help us, please? We just need you to direct us to the hospital,” the man said, feigning a smile and trying all he could to seem nice.Allen nodded.“ Oh yes, I know there, but are you sure someone is wounded?” Allen asked the man, trying to act nice.“ In five seconds, watch out for the action of the handkerchief; it has sedatives and is intended to make you sleep.”Allen heard the voice.It was now evident to him that he had been to the future, as everything was playing out perfectly.His only problem now was that, in the end, he had been shot and died,
THE FAMILIAR TATTOOAllen walked as fast as he could from the scene.He had his backpack tucked firmly on his back and went on his journey.In about five minutes, he got to his house.Immediately he entered his house, he heard the beeping of sirens of the police cars from all directions, passing by the estate.Allen heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the children around could be saved by the police.Although he was not sure whether or not the perpetrators were going to be punished, he kept high hopes that the innocent victims were going to be safe.In the city he was in, it was very easy for the perpetrators to be left alone, especially if they had someone backing them politically or financially.SYSTEM: Mission accomplished, Victims saved, criminals arrested by the police.Mission Reward granted.Allen heard the system say as he walked into the house, and then his phone beeped.Allen secured the door from the inside and went to have a cold shower.He sat down on the couch with his
TIME TO LEARNAllen connected the dots for himself.The man he had fought with back in the bush, was the same he had encountered a few minutes ago.Allen thought to himself.It was evident that the man belonged to a gang, and the gang operated in the city, committing a whole lot of crimes in the city.Allen wondered who these people were that made them do what they were doing.However, worry soon hit him as he realized that he had always been fighting without any face mask, and just as he had recognised some of them by face, it was very likely for him to be noticed by any of the people too.This could only mean he was in a deep mess and had to watch his back all along.He heaved a sigh and continued fidgeting with his phone, browsing the previous messages he had received while working and on his way here.He realized that he had received some messages from Betty.“ Hi Allen, How are you doing? I tried calling to check on you but our number was unreachable” The message read.Allen heav
