Chapter 2

The day went on Jim noticed the bagel they bought him was still on his desk. It was 5pm, Pam walked over to Jim, "we have to go to Cecelia preschool teacher interview, we have to hurry".

Toby came out of the office, "Jim can I ask a favour"?

"Sure Toby what is it"?

"Can you drive me home, I will take a cab to work tomorrow to get my car"

Pam smiled, "I'm sorry Toby we would but we have to go to Cecelia preschool we are late". Jim took Pam's arm, "You go to the school, I will drive Toby home, and take a cab to the school, I will be a little late"

"Jim no Toby can take a cab, they said both parents" Toby smiled, "It is OK , I will take a cab"

Jim looked around everyone was gone but Dwight, and Michael. Jim yelled over, "Dwight can you drive Toby home"?

"I have a date , Sorry Bud another time" He ran out of the office, Pam grabbed Jim lets go.

Jim turned, "Sorry Toby, I'm really sorry"

"It is OK really go don't be late for your appointment". Pam and Jim walked out, but Jim was feeling bad.

Toby walked over to his desk, and sat down about to call a cab, but he laid back shutting his eyes. He jumped when Michael walked into the office. "Toby are you going to do sleep here all night"?

"No my head hurts, I was resting my eyes".

"Oh man do you need a ride home"?

"Yeah I can't drive home, I was going to call a cab"

"Would you like a lift"?

"Would you Michael Really"? Toby smiled for the first time today, but Michael laughed, "Yeah I'm your limo driver, call a cab fool". Michael laughed, and walked out leaving Toby devastated. He was shaking now, he really was feeling horrible. He looked at the photo of Sasha, he picked up the phone calling Kathy, he needed to speak to Sasha.

"Hello"

"Kathy it is Toby, I know you hate when I call unexpected, I have to keep my proper times for calls, but I need to speak to Sasha"

"Toby she is watching her favorite show"

Toby whispered, "Please I beg of you put Sasha on Kathy, I need to hear her voice"

Kathy could hear Toby's voice he didn't sound right. "Toby you OK"?

"Kathy I love Sasha , she is the one good thing I did in my life"

"I know Toby she was the only good thing to come out of our marriage"

"Promise me you will never let her forget about me"

"Toby you are scaring me, is something wrong"?

"No I'm just tired, I need to say hi to my Baby girl, please let me".

"Hold on". Kathy went , and got Sasha.

"Daddy"

"Hey Sasha how is my girl"?

"Good Daddy, I was watching TV"

"I'm sorry I took you from that, I just needed to tell you how much I love you"

"I love you to Daddy, I made you a picture today at school. I'm going to mail it to you OK"

"I like that Baby, how is school"?

"Good Daddy, I get to see you soon, can we go to a movie"?

"Anything you want Sasha, just know Daddy loves you more than anything in the world"

"Daddy"

"Yes"

"You OK you seem really sad"

"Oh I was a little sad but now I'm smiling from ear to ear, I just needed to hear your voice"

"I love you Daddy"

"Bye Sweetie, talk to you later, but you be a good girl promise"

"Promise"

"Bye Sasha"

"Bye Daddy, I love you too". Sasha hung up, Toby smiled looking at the picture. He sat back in his chair hugging it. He slumped over dropping the picture, he whispered, "Sasha". He was looking at the picture he felt pain in his chest, it was taking his breath away. He tried to reach for the phone, but he couldn't reach it. He heard people say your life flashes in front of you before you die. It was true he saw his family, his marriage, the birth of Sasha. He gasped for air, as his eyes rolled back, and he took his last breath as he passed away, all alone.
