Apartment B79

Apartment B79 Ch2

. . . . . . . . . . . . Chapter 2 —The Building—

        I have been starting to be noticed in the newspaper lately, mostly cause of my stories, when I first got my job the problems still haven’t accord in my Apartment room yet. The next week for a new story in the newspaper was harder for me to find, I needed to find something that hasn’t been mentioned yet, the description for a story is to find something in the thriller section. The due date of my story was in two weeks, it’s been at least two days from when I first got the assignment, I couldn’t think of anything, I decide to head home to calm down and get my head clear. When I arrive to the Apartment Room, everything in my room has been tampered with, it was all out of place. I run directly to the lobby were a different person is running the desk, I ask the very handsome man Henry, at the lobby desk about the situation. The man gives me a surprised expression and we both run up to my room, and when we both enter everything has been fixed up, I have a shocked look as I stare at the room….
Then I remember the cameras were recording, I show him the tape and sees the things moving around and then the footage showed me entering and running out. Then we both walk around looking around my room, then after the search we sit down on the couch and we talk about the problems the were being caused. After wards he insisted that he would camp up in my room, but he said he could sleep in the living room and not in the bedroom, I agreed on both. Later that night we set up and put the cameras on full focus and charge, he locked the room doors and all the windows just in case. We then said goodnight to each other and fell to sleep. I woke up thinking it was morning for a second, it was midnight so I go to the kitchen and make some tea, then, I see that Henry woken up, and walked over to me and greeted me late morning and made himself some coffee. “Coffee this late?” I say, yet he replies with a sleepy voice that when he wakes up he can’t fall asleep again, same with me I mention. Then suddenly the front door of my room opens, I jump in fright from the creaking sound. He pushed me behind him to protect me like a “hero.” When he goes to inspect the hallway outside of the room door, he pauses as if he saw a ghost and closes the door casually. I ask if he saw something, it looked as if he were to say no but he mentioned that he thinks he saw a cloaked figure in the hallway. I pause for a moment and we both walk over to the couch and relax for a bit, then I close my eyes wishing it were to all go away. I open my eyes being woken by the bell tower. I jump to my feet, and woke up Henry, and I run into my room getting dressed and I gather my belongings and tell Henry that I’m late for my job, after I mention that he jumps up and gets dressed in the bathroom, and we both run out the door. Thankfully Henry owns a car so we drive over to my job, as I’m entering the Newspaper building he decides to come in with me, he explains that he wants to help with my story.
As Henry and I walk to my desk, we both discuss on our plans and then we both head into the meeting room so the people around us don’t get into our plans. After we have decided on what to do, we both exit the room, and go to the market and start to ask questions about what they know about the Apartment Building that I’m staying in. We have talked to about 47 people but then we struck gold, a woman with her daughter standing next to us in the market line told us some information about the building and room B79, she said she used to live in B79, she said that her stuff also went missing, but she never got it back. I told her I got all my stuff back, I asked her more questions and I think I was a bit to forward on the questions so she just ended up leaving. I also leave, and arrive back to my apartment and I type up what I got and posted it on the “Daily Blog”
A few hours later  Henry runs up to me with a smile upon his face, I ask him whats up as he catches his breath. It took a bit but he replied to me
“Amber, your post it got 1,346 hits!” I jump off the couch squirming in joy, I was so happy, most of my blogs get to at least 200 hits. We then talked about the blog and what we are some ideas for the newspaper.
A  few days pass and it’s the day that the newspaper is due, Henry and I walk up to the boss of the Newspaper and handed him the script, he dismissed us and we left his office to do our other work. Henry and I and a few other employees, suddenly hear a dish shatter in the Office room, we all run into the office and the boss is still reading our script like the broken plate on the floor wasn’t even there. The boss stands up and holds up the paper to Henry and I and tells us “This script is going up in the Newspaper period, and you there get me a coffee” Henry and I hug in joy, and we both new that if you got a thumbs up from the boss you get more pay. When the Newspaper was going to shut down for the day, Henry and I went back to the apartment.

I open my eyes knowing that I created a great story yesterday and it is going on the newspaper. I get dressed and head into the kitchen to fix up some tea, and I make some coffee for Henry. He wakes up without a shirt, I hand him a robe and his coffee with a sleepy but happy look on my face. Later, when we are both ready to go to the Daily Newspaper building I mention to Henry that he should get a job at the Newspaper, he comes with me every time when I go there and that he had some very brilliant ideas for some stories. He said he was thinking about working there, but he mentioned that you needed to get 3 signatures from a employe working there, a past boss he worked for, and a signature from the boss that works there. It took me a bit to think of a plan, but then it hit me, I can post a story on the Daily Blog and get help and it might reach some of those people.         After that Henry decided to let me stay home and work on charging the cameras for the night, Henry wanted to make sure we had everything we needed.

After a while, Henry came running into my room shaking me to wake me up, he was screaming and his arm had scratch marks. I screamed as I woke up, I asked him in terror why he was yelling and flipping out, it took a while for him to answer, he was panting trying to catch his breath.
We both run out into the living room, everything has been moved, the furniture even the kitchen supplies. I screamed and I grabbed all of my electronics and I got a suitcase and I packed as many things I could get my hands on. I also wrap a bandage around Henry’s arm. I got on my winter coat for the fact it was freezing outside. Henry did the same and packed all of his stuff, but he got the cameras and the data that was collected and we ran out of the door, and we ran to the Daily Newspaper building and hid in the back.
We were so scared, I haven’t seen Henry this terrified, the last time this happened was before the article was posted. I saw a stack of newspapers near the corner of the building so I decided to walk over and collect them to see if my article got on the papers. As I unwrap the plastic off of the newspapers, I turn the page and I see our story on the newspaper, I was scared yet happy at the same time. I turn to the back of the papers were the authors notes are with their picture, I saw our box but it was scratched out…
“Henry look at this” I pointed out that our faces got scratched out, he didn’t say anything for a few moments.
“Well then, so how long are you planning to stay at the apartment?” he asked with a sudden urge
“Not for a while, I signed a contract” I said sadly. It took him a bit to remember that he worked in the building, so we came up with a plan on how to get the contract, we had to get it at night when no one was there. He only had desk access he wasn’t allowed to be in the storage area. Only the manager was allowed to.
