Chapter 2

"Thanks so much, Joey. I might've been late had it not been for you."

"No problem, Malik. Anytime. Besides, it was on my way to work anyway, so it was only natural to drop you off."

Malik smiled and waved as he watched the blond drive away.

He turned to the building and began walking towards the entrance. Once in the main hall, he read the sign that said,

Naomi Ishuka, M.D.

Sixth Floor

And so he got in the elevator to go to the floor where he had his doctor's appointment. As he walked through the office doors, he saw the secretaries dressed in scrubs, similar to nurse's scrubs and a large waiting room full of people sitting in plastic burgundy chairs and watching what seemed to be 'Bruce Almighty'.

He went up to the secretaries and told them he was there for his appointment.

"What's your name?" The woman asked as she typed on the computer.

"Malik Ishtar." He told her.

She continued typing and said, "...oh. You're very early, Mr. Ishtar."

"No I'm not, I was almost late." He said, confused. "My appointment's at 11:30, right?"

She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's at 2:30." She looked at him as he grunted in annoyance. He had rushed out of bed, torn through his drawer, looking for something to wear, practically ate his breakfast whole, rushed to get a ride with Joey, only to find out he was three hours early?! He was beyond upset. Seeing the uneasiness set on his face, the secretary said, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Perhaps you should leave and come back. Or you could sit in the waiting room for that time, if you'd like."

Malik walked away from the desk and walked out the office doors, into the hall. He needed to calm down. He had to look at the bright side. He had time to spare. He could have a little fun. He smirked as he went over and pushed the elevator button to come and get him.

The elevator doors opened and he appreciated that there was no one in there. He ran quickly inside and made the doors shut right after. He decided not to push any buttons, decided he'd let the elevator move as it got called onto the floors by other people. He got in one of the corners of the elevator, facing the wall and simply stood there with his arms hanging, doing nothing.

He felt the elevator move upward. He reached a floor and two people walked in, staring suspiciously at him, standing in the corner looking at the wall.

He went the whole time like this. It seemed the people were telling others that he was in there just standing there doing nothing because when people would walk in, they'd whisper things like, "he really is in here," or, "I thought it was a joke."

At one point, when there was no one in the elevator, Malik moved away from the corner, pushed the button labeled '6', and waited. When he got to the sixth floor, he went back into the doctor's office and waited to be called. Five minutes later, he was called and he followed the nurse with a smirk.

Stand silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
