Josh watched silently and nervously as Cliff left the room and shut the door behind him.
"Holy shit... he's so dumb." Josh said aloud as he reached back down to his cellphone and instinctively pulled up Tyler's name. Waiting for a second for the phone to ring, Josh impatiently tapped his foot on the wooden surface of the boutique.
"Yo! What up my man!" Tyler's voice blurted out from the other end of the phone as Josh's heart leap for joy that his best friend was there.
"TYLER I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY THIS CRAZY RICH DUDE YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME!" Josh screamed through the phone much fast and louder than he intended.
"Woah woah... slow down. What?" Tyler's voice said confused on the other side of the phone.
"I'm sorry. Tyler. Long story short, I'm shrunk and I've been kidnapped by a rich dude who wants to keep me as a pet." Josh said nervously, yet much more coherently.
"This isn't a joke?" Tyler asked, suspicious of Josh's motives.
"I'm not joking! Ty, I don't know what this guy plans to do with me. You have to help me!" Josh pleaded to his friend, nearly stamping his feet in the process.
"Alright, I'll call the police." Tyler said nonchalantly.
"I don't think that will work. They're literally the richest family in this town." Josh said wondering how dumb it would sound to have someone call the police on the Morebucks of all people.
"Dude, then what do I do?" Tyler asked nervous about his friend's welfare.
"I dunno! Uhh he left the front door unlocked I think... I think there's a gate around his house though." Josh fiddled as he tried to remember what he heard as he was trapped in the man's shirt pocket.
"Great dude. Lemme just break into some rich kid's house." Tyler spat back sarcastically. "I don't even know where this house is!"
"Do a search for the name "Morebucks" I bet their address will pop up." Josh said, answering the question simply.
"Dude! You really want me to break into his house?!" Tyler yelled back as Josh fidgeted nervously looking at the door.
"I got kidnapped! If anything happens we just installed security cameras in the interviewing room anyway! We can prove he kidnapped me!" Josh yelled back at Tyler hoping to get his friend to get a move on.
"Why the hell didn't you lead with that?!" Tyler yelled slamming his phone and hanging up. Josh looked down at his phone, seeing the call ended. Sighing, he hoped that meant Tyler had some sort of plan to save him. Slipping his phone back in his pocket, he figured in the meantime the device might be useful. Just as Josh started to look down at the floor below, he heard Cliff's voice from the other side of the door.
"You got 10 more seconds, little guy!" He called out through the door in an almost playful tone. Josh started to sweat as he looked around the room, hoping he could find a place.
"9...8...7..." Cliff's voice called out as Josh took a leap off faith off the boutique. Landing on the floor he looked around quickly from Cliff's clothes on the floor to the bed across the room. "6...5...4...3...2..."
Josh turned around and without a second thought, dove under a thin passageway under the enormous wooden boutique. "1... ready or not here I come..."
Josh heard the door open from his dark hiding spot. The passage way was much too thin for Cliff to slid his hand under, so Josh figured it must be a decent spot to conceal himself from the child-like man. Looking out under the crack, Josh saw a massive foot stomp down in front of his hiding place. Hearing Cliff pick up his clothes, he spoke as he searched.
"I wonder if you hid in here! Smells like me... bet you were drawn to it." The arrogant man said as he rifled though his discarded clothes. Dropping the clothes back to the ground, Josh heard the man huff for a second. seeing his walk way, Josh was glad to see he went off to check a different location.
Cliff went on to continue searching in many different spots, taunting his little pet as he went along. Disappointed after not finding Josh for too long, the huge man decided to leave the room. Shutting the door behind him, Josh sighed in relief over not being found. Weighing his options, he wasn't sure whether to stay put until Tyler arrives, or make himself visible to Cliff to be vulnerable. Laying on the floor Josh pondered as he decided to...
