Lisa has been seeing this great guy name Morris for about six months. She thought he was the one. But all it took was one night to question everything. Was he real? Where is he?
Lisa is pacing back and forth in her apartment while talking on the phone to her friend Janet. She and Janet work together at an accounting firm. All it took was Lisa bumping into Janet in the halls at work. They connected and have been friends ever since. They also have a friend name, Tanya. Tanya works at the firm, but she’s a Junior accountant and is very driven. Lisa, Janet, and Tanya were at the same level at some point, which is how they became friends.
Lisa
It’s been two hours, and I still haven’t heard from him
Janet
Well, what did he say the last time you’d talk to him?
Janet had just started doing vodka shots. She and her boyfriend broke up the night before. She was ready for some revenge action.
Lisa
He said that he had to drop his grandmother off, and he’ll be over right after
Lisa has constantly peeked out of the window.
Lisa
But he hasn’t texted me or called to say that’ll he’ll be late! (Worried)
Lisa
He has never done this before. He would’ve called by now
Janet
Yeah, that is strange. Have you called him?
Janet had stopped doing shots at this point and was concern about her friend.
Lisa
Yes, three times, and I’ve texted plenty of times. No, bubbles, no missed calls, NOTHING (still pacing)
Janet
Do you want to go over to his house? Maybe something happened.
Janet is now walking out of the kitchen to the front door to grab her purse and car keys.
Lisa
I don’t know. That seems weird and stalkerish. I mean, we’ve been only dating for six months. Should I even care? When do you suppose to care?
Janet
Girl, you two have been together every day and had ___multiple times a day. I think you deserve an answer? I’ll be there in 5 to 10 minutes.
Janet is already walking into her garage.
Lisa
Wait...okay
Lisa goes to change out of her date dress to jeans and a shirt. She then decided to call Tanya and add her to the call with Janet and She. Tanya has always been like a friend/mother to them both. Well, mainly Lisa, because no one tells Janet what to do, NO ONE! Although Tanya has tried many times and failed many times.
Tanya
Girl, it’s in the middle of the night. What do you want? Oh, hey Janet.
Tanya had just gotten to bed when her phone rang.
Janet
Hey, can’t talk, driving
Janet was still on 3-way and just picked up Lisa. They only stay 3 miles from one another.
Tanya
Okay... what’s going on? Where are you two driving to? (Curious)
Tanya switches on her nightstand lamp and notices the panic in Lisa’s voice and, setup her in bed.
Lisa
We’re driving to Morris house
Tanya
Why?
Lisa
Long story, do we think something may have happened?
Tanya
I’m not going to ask why because I’m too tired. Just text me what happens. (Rolling eyes)
When Tanya heard the name Morris, she quickly lost interest. She never really liked him. He’d seem too sneaky to her.
Lisa
Hold up...just in case you don’t hear from one of us by tomorrow morning. Call the police, okay.
Tanya
Okay, now I feel scared. What’s going on? Did something happen to Morris? (Worried)
Lisa
No, nothing happened... I think. We had a date, and he hasn’t called or texted, now going on 4 hours.
Tanya
Oh, I see, that is strange. Considering you two have been like velcro for the last six months. (Trying to be rational)
Lisa
Haha... stay by the phone...(rolling eyes)
Tanya
I will, and don’t let your imagination run wild. You know how you are. I’m sure there’s a good explanation. Be safe... Good Night 🛌💤
Tanya then switched off her lamp and tried to go back to sleep. But she felt something wasn’t right.
Lisa
I will (calmer)
Tanya tries to go back to sleep. But she can’t stop worrying, and all of her suspicions about Morris have gone into overdrive. She’s now sitting up in her room while starring at an unknown tv program and constantly checking her phone.
Tanya
Okay, it’s been 2 hours, and now I’m worried. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
She decided to text Lisa and Janet in their group chat.
Tanya
Lisa
Tanya
Lisa, Janet, are y’all there?!
Tanya
Why aren’t y’all answering?
Tanya
Okay, I’m calling the police...
She calls the police and considering her connections. She gets results fast. Since trying endlessly to contact Lisa and Janet, she leaves a voicemail instead.
Tanya
Okay, just in case you all may get this, I hope. The police said that they would drive to Morris's house and get back to me.
Two hours pass and the cops finally fill her in. Tanya immediately tried and contacted Lisa and Janet once more. Still no answer. She leaves another voicemail.
Tanya
Okay, they’ve got back to me, and they’d said that they didn’t see Janet and you. They also said that no one has lived in that house for years. They even asked some of the neighbors. They didn’t know who they were talking about. The cops thought I was on drugs until I’d showed them your texts. So, I’m scared. I’d thought you’d said you’ve been to his house before. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME!!
