"Sometimes in life things just don't work out, didn't get the job, didn't make an entry, or even losing a chance. But in life the most important thing is to make use of opportunities both good and bad, and free food? never and I mean NEVER turn down free food." Arthur says munching obnoxiously.
"Wow that sounds like horrible advice, what are you going to do from the food being offered by a suspicious van?" Charis says raising her eyebrows as she grabs a napkin from the bag.
"I stand by what I said" Arthur gives a smirk chewing like a camel.
"Here just take this you have food all over your face and it's distracting me from the conversation" Charis hands the napkin to Arthur as he attempts to wipe his face, "Gosh you eat like my brother."
"Wow we're related" Arthur replies.
"What-" Charis stands baffled by the stupid remark.
"Food was great I'm going to sleep I have work tomorrow."
"You're not going to ask how the lunch went?" Charis's voice trailed off as she realized Arthur was already in his room.
The night was silent and soon it was the morning.
As usual every morning Arthur wakes up at 5 and packs a lunch and makes breakfast before leaving the house. He would head down to the station and enter his office, Arthur's days consisted of simple paperwork and maybe if he was lucky an actual case to solve, as he was still young often, he would only get minor offences to deal with. But he always dreamed of solving a case that was bigger to prove his worth.
Every day in the evening after he clocked out of work early (as he always does) he would head to the gym, but today was different today he met a girl, her name was Rose.
Arthur had never really been the type to approach a lady, so he wasn't surprised she approached him. He left the gym that day with her number.
When he made his way home, he was surprised to find the home empty. 'Maybe she's got work' he thought to himself. He closed the door and set his bag down.
He quietly enjoyed the silence thinking about his day, then his phone rang "Arthur this is serious I need you to come meets me ahead outside some sketchy dude has been following me, please help me my ankles are aching."
He chucked on a jacket and ran outside the front door of the apartment building to find Charis a few feet away struggling to make her steps, "Charis, I've been waiting for you lets go inside together."
Just as he turned to confront the figure behind her, it disappeared, confused he called out "hello?"
Suddenly a tall man in a suit appeared, "Charis you left your watch behind... oh whose he?"
"he's my-" before Charis could finish Aruthur abruptly replied.
"Her boyfriend, what do you want?"
"Easy, I'm just a coworker, the names Mike (rob) Wave." The man replied.
"He's not actually my boyfriend just a house mate, been friends since forever thanks for the watch" Charis interrupts the duo and takes her watch.
Then another figure emerges behind Mike, "Wow....that guy was fast....I managed to snap a picture its....kind of....blurry" out of breath he pants, then he notices Arthur beside Charis, fixing his composure he greets him, "Hello, I'm Pole Danxer, I'm a friend of Charis"
"Nice to meet you both, Mike and Pole. Charis and I will be heading inside goodnight to you both" Arthur and Charis make their way up the stairs.
"Wait Charis could I get your number?" pole asks taking his chance.
"Sure" She replies they quickly exchange numbers and head home.
