How odd James is

    by: lillyfox Author IconMail Icon
You quickly run to the red circle on the shiny black floor and push the red button on the wall. You are sucked up into the machine again and brought back to your real size. You quickly hide the machine under the sofa.
Robbie finally comes back with James after taking him down to show him the lift that recently went mad. You have never quite understood James and always thought that he was up to something. Robbie looks over to you and his face eases up.
"Hey Em Meat Lovers or Margarita?" Robbie is quick to make sure that there's no awkward silence
"Margarita for me Robbie. Hi James how was the Bank today?" Smalltalk is as far as you ever get with this guy
"Ok, Ok. Archives?"
"Rather good. We were given a home movie of one of the corner stores that as you can see have long gone from the city. And the Old Lady who donated it also has a collection of other sites on video. Including that 'secret squirrel' building where she reckons she can see the design of the basement." All of a sudden James gets awkward and a little blunt and asks a multitude of questions. How good is it? Are you sure she has it? Where's she from? When did she say she would be handing it in? You feel relieved when Robbie gets out the Playstation and they both go hard at it.
...
"I think I'll go to bed boys." You look down at the two of them laying on there belly's like kids playing Burnout.
"Ok Em. I'll see you in the morning. Sorry for being a bit boring."
"Your never boring Robbie." You kiss him on the cheek.
"Night Em." James calls after you.
As you walk to your room you notice that they have managed to pull the couch forwards at some stage and reveal the time machine. You pick it up and take it to your room. In setting it on the floor the thought strikes you. Why not just have a little look into James' life? See if he does work in the bank. You look out of the room and notice James getting up and going to the toilet. You close the door and once all is settled you set the machine to eight hours back so 3:14 and flick open the location panel and use the little GPS display to select the bank. You shrink down and just as you get into the car you hear a loud bang. A fault?
...
You arrive at the bank and have half an hour to look for him. You search both floors and then notice a door marked as requiring a special pass. You wait around and who should come out but James. You zip in as the door closes and see a computer with two monitors and a progress bar. In your remaining five minutes you can see that he is downloading all the transactions off everyone in the country. He walks back in and you see him put his pass down. The logo it has on it is definite. James isn't a usual employee, James monitors the bank transactions of thousands to make sure that crooks can't transfer any and also keeps transactions between government agencies secret. You also see that there are a number of items marked as being in safe deposit.
...
Snap! Your back. You run to the red circle and push the button. A red light comes on, "Error 484, Regeneration platform blocked.". You walk out and look up at James. His now huge dress shoe planted firmly on the top of the scales. You are looking at him and he is looking down at you. He picks you up and puts you in his change pocket. You hear him writing on a piece of paper and leaving, saying goodbye to Robbie as he goes.
...
You arrive back at James' unit and he

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Puts you on his desk for questioning

2. Puts you in a glass next to his bed and changes into pj pants

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
