Sabotage - a story of futility #5

Steve kept walking, the sound of the whining reverse stalking him. And then the phone rang. Not his Blackberry but the phone his new boss, Richard Franklin had given him. He stared at the digital read out. The number on the display might as well have been gibberish. Steve didn’t recognize it at all.

The phone rang again. Steve tentatively flipped it open.

“Steven. Richard Franklin here. Please return to the Sabotron company vehicle.”

“But sir . . .” Steve started to protest.

Richard’s voice dropped an got even more serious. He repeated, “Get. In. The. Car.”

Steve sighed, his shoulders dropped and he climbed back into the FJ Cruiser.
Janson glibly said, “Buckle up,” as he eased back onto the Thruway. A few miles later he added, “Looks like we’re having a big conference call when we get back to the office. Thanks.”
