Bounce Down: 1st Quarter: Start Of Play - Plot & Excerpts
I had intended it to be an hour, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I knew I was being childish, but I wanted him to be on the receiving end for a change – waiting, wondering if I was going to show. Maybe he had assumed I had seen the picture and was not coming at all. Instead of the security gate opening, I heard his voice come through a speaker. “You’re late!” Surely he couldn’t be serious? Yet his voice sounded stern. So what was he doing, banning me entry because I was half an hour late? “Push the button to answer me.” Shit, he wanted an answer? I pressed down the button and spoke out, clear and confident, “The traffic was bad.” Take that! Everyone knew it was a lame excuse for being late, but you couldn’t dispute it, because it may be the truth. Silence greeted me. After about a minute, the gate slid open. On parking the car, I was surprised to see the front door closed, with no sign of Brendon. Confused, I walked to the door and, on seeing another security/speaker panel, pressed the call button.
