Chapter 59 - Letters from hell (2)

As if it wasn't enough to scare her with the letters, she received a different one the next day.

She was inside her office in the cafe, when it came. It was a small parcel that actually had a postage and a return address. She didn't thought anything out of it, so she opened it. Inside was a bunch of s.e.x toys, her pictures and a cassette recorder.

It instantly made her heart beat erratically, she trembled as she fumbled on her bag. Tears was falling on her eyes.

Inside her head she kept yelling.

"Why... whyyyy... why are you doing this to me? What have I done to deserve this?!"

She bit her lips hard, suppressing the sounds of her sobs. As she found her bottle, it took her a while to open them. Still, she persisted. Her hand was shaking so bad and her vision became fuzzy. As she tried to pour some medicine on her hand, a huge amount came out.

She was having an attack, time was ticking. Without counting the amount of pills on her hand, she shoved it on her mouth like candies. She crunched it with her teeth and swallowed them.

April silently sob, waiting for her medicine to work. Unfortunately, it did worse. She fainted on her chair. The open bottle fell on her hand, scattering the pills inside on the ground.

The scene looked like she tried to commit suicide. Fortunately not long after, Josie knocked on the door. On her hands were lunch food for April.

Josie's brows furrowed, since her boss didn't respond. "Did she fell asleep?" She murmured.

She decided to open the door it a little, to see if her boss did fell asleep. It was her assignment to look after her, after all.

The scene that welcomed her was beyond horrifying. Josie gasped and instantly ran to her boss. She set the lunch on her desk and did a quick observation. It would've looked like she was sleeping, but the pills on the floor tells a different story.

She touched her boss's pulse for any signs of life, as her other hand tried to grabbed her phone on her pocket.

She install dialed 999, luckily there was pulse. Unfortunately, her breathing was very weak.

"Yes, hello. I am calling for an ambulance. Near McDaniel Street and Boston ave. The newly renovated Building on the street. Possible case of overdose. Yes. Yes. Please hurry. She still has pulse and her breathing is weak. Ok. I'll stay on the line."

She had to call her supervisors about this, but her phone was still with the 999. So she stood up , put it on speaker and she went to look for April's phone.

Luckily, it was on the desk. She dialed James number, praying for him to pick up. Time was essential, she knew this. Yet nobody picked up.

"The ambulance should be there within 3 minutes, Come right outside so they'll know where to go." The 999 Operator said.

"Ok thank you."

She took her phone and April's phone as she ran downstairs. She called for the cafe manager. Today, they were holding a meeting. So not only the manager was present, but also the staff.

"Go and get someone outside to direct the ambulance here!" Josie yelled.

"Ambulance? what happened?" Manager Scott asked.

"I'll go!" One of the waiter ran towards the door.

"The boss fainted. Scott you handle the cafe, I will leave with the boss when the ambulance gets here.." That was the only explanation she said and Josie went back up.

The staff looked at each other, they did noticed that their boss was getting pale this days. Yet she only joke about having nerves about the cafe. Is she sick? they thought.
