Chapter 5: Doppelwhat?
Dude. I totally just met your doppelganger.
Reading the message, Adam furrowed his brow. Oh?
Yeah. Or well, he would be. Except for the suspect part. But dude, he looked exactly like you.
Adam held off checking his phone, though, until after his new boss was gone. Shaking his head, he replied with, Good thing he's not me, then, if he's a suspect.
True. So, what's going on? How's the new gig?
Adam shrugged to himself. I sit at a desk until something comes in. It's a job, you know?
Do you like it?
Adam thought for a minute before texting, I like the paycheck.
But…?
Adam looked around quickly before frowning. It's not fun. Or exciting. I do paternity suits. Cheating spouse investigations for the rich. It's not really worth it.
The reply from Greg wasn't all that unexpected. You said yourself, it's a job. In New York.
Adam bit his cheek slightly. Yeah. I guess I'm just bored.
So apply somewhere that excites you.
"Easier said than done," Adam whispered to himself. Like where? he texted.
He could practically see Greg's mind turning as he opened his friend's message. Dude. Porn store.
Adam chuckled to himself at the text. No.
Oh, come on. That's exciting.
Adam smirked. Not really. Would you wanna see people old enough to be your parents or grandparents in there?
Pretty sure my dad would be a customer in there. Apparently, his newest bride is into that kind of thing.
Adam shook his head with an amused look. And how does that thought not bother you at all?
You've met my dad. Would it bother you?
Adam shrugged to himself. Fair enough. So, when's your next Final Proficiency, Mr. Can't-Hold-It-At-The-Scene?
Yeah? You're one to talk, Mr. Can't-Go-Two-Hours-Without-Peeing.
Adam frowned. Wait a minute here. At least I have an excuse. I was drinking.
That's what they all say.
"Mr. Ross," his boss said, making Adam jump slightly.
"Yes, sir?" he replied nervously, thinking he was busted but hoping he wasn't.
"New case is in, and it's yours."
"Yes, sir. I'm on it."
His boss walked away, and Adam turned back to his phone. Gotta go. New case on deck.
Alright. Have fun, man. Call me later.
Will do.
