The phone rings. I pick up the phone while staring at my wife and kids. "Hello" I said nervously. There was a pause. I knew what was going to happen.  The voice on the other end says "We need you again" then hangs up. I run downstairs to grab my coat and briefcase. As i run back upstairs, my wife stops me and says "I cant beleive its the 7th time they called this month. Are you sure you want to go. Ill tell the boss to choose someone else." I pause but I know what I have to do. "No its fine. Ill make sure it never happens again" I tell my wife. As I walk to the garage the kids tell me goodbye and hand me a sandwich. I thank them and leave. As i exit the door. I see a package. With my name on it. I bring it to the car and open in. The boss gave me a new weapon. I sure hope that I dont have to use it. I put it away in my breifcase so i dont have to think about using it. Let's just say that the last time i used one, things got messy. I pull out of the driveway and drive off to the destination. I dont even have to punch in the adress. Ive been there too many times. As I turn onto the highway, I notice how busy it is so I take the long way. I dont want people to see my van. Its too recognizable and I cant go another day doing this job. On the way, I see a motel so I stop there until it gets dark so no one sees me. While I was staying at the motel, there were a few problems needed to be fixed so I took out my weapon and fixed the problems. The aftermath was pretty gross and I almost gagged. After that I decided to get out of there. Its now dark and there is no one on the road. I turn off my tail lights just incase anyone tries to follow me. Im about half an hour from the location and my phone rings. I check the rearview mirror and theres no one there. I check my phone. Its just my phone. "Hello, are you almost there.  They just called to ask whats taking so long." she said. Oh god . I hadnt realised how long its been since I left.  I sped up a bit. "Im about half an hour away." I say and hang up. The phone rings again . "Yes sweety" I reply. There's a pause. "Im not your sweety" says a deep tone. I drop the phone. And check my rearview mirror. Theres a black van following me. I speed up. They speed up. My cars too heavy its slowing me down. The van cuts me off. The phone rings. I awnser "Hello" . "Giant gray wearhouse on Lang and Jefferson cant miss it. Hope you brought a weapon" he hangs up and drives away.  God i hate being a plumber.
