The Call
Place: Ms. Hannah's Orphanage
Location: New York
Time: 2:00 am
Early in the morning, the phone rang in the orphanage of two girls. The eldest girl got up and answered.
"Hello, Ms. Hannah's Orphanage. This is Lisa speaking, how can I help you?" said the girl.
"Hi, this is Mr. Smith. I'm looking for two girls named Soap and Black Widow. I saw them acting on a video on YouTube, and I would like to offer them a job."
"I'm sorry, sir, may I call you again in a few hours? It may be 11:00 pm where you are, but here it's 2 in the morning."
"Right, sorry. Just call me back when you can. Thank you."
"No problem."
Hanging up the phone, Lisa heard her own phone go off from her pocket.
Listen baby, I'm sorry.
Just want to tell you don't worry,
I will be late.
So, don't stay up and wait for me.
Say-
"Hello," said Lisa for the second time that night, "this is Lisa."
"Hello, Lisa, this is CEO Arthur Griffin, and I want you and your friend, Soap, packed and ready by to 8 pm tomorrow night."
"Alright, I just need to talk to my foster mom."
"Great, I will see you tomorrow."
Lisa was fully awake by the time he hung up, so she decided to go into her makeshift music room. It was hidden behind a bookshelf on the first floor. Surprisingly, no one figured out that this is where she always disappeared too.
"Soap, what are you doing here?"
"I was exploring, and I found this room. I might make this my little get away."
"Well, Sophia, I hate to break it to you, but I've been using this as my get away for the past 5 years. I made it. This is the only place, can be me. Plus, I have to pack all my instruments. You should start packing, while talk to Ms. Hannah."
While Soap looked ashamed for finding Lisa's hiding spot, Lisa went to Ms. Hannah's room. At was about 3 in the morning, she was usually still awake.
"Ms. Hannah, may I have a word with you?" asked Lisa timidly.
"Am I in trouble?" Ms. Hannah and Lisa were pretty close. She treated Lisa like a real daughter.
"No, I just got a phone call. RCM/CBT/GLOBAL NET SANYOID CEO just called me and offered Soap and I an acting job for a new movie. Can we do it?"
"Of course, you two can. You guys are almost 16; you need to live your own life."
"Thank you. Let me go call him back."
Lisa redialed the number, and told him they would be ready by 7:30.
Later at Rocque Records….
Four boys lay upside-down on a white sofa. One was wearing a beanie, another wearing a helmet, another with a mirror, and the last one was asleep. Three out of four wasn't bad.
"Boys, Griffin's here, and he needs to talk to you. Wake up, Logan," said Kelly.
The boys thought she was kidding, but then Griffin walked in with two girls. One with black and white hair and one with dark brown hair. That got the three boys who were awake shot up immediately, and introduced themselves.
The one in the beanie is Kendall; the one in the helmet is Carlos; the one with the mirror is James. So that means Logan fell asleep on the sofa.
"Weren't there two of you?' asked Kendall.
"Yeah, my friend Lisa is over there. My guess is she's trying to wake him up. By the way, I'm Sophia."
"Nice to meet you," said James, "but what's your friend doing with an amp?"
No one bothered to ask when the sound of a guitar ripped through the studio. Next thing they knew, Logan was awake and face down on the floor.
"WHAT WAS THE FOR? Kendall, if that was you…." Looking up his voice trailed off when he saw Lisa.
Shooting up quickly, he introduced himself.
All she said was, "Hi, I'm Lisa Widows," and that was all it took for him to fall for her.
