Chapter 25 by NathanX NathanX

Does Jessie help, or leave you hanging?

Jessie agrees to come over

Jessie sighs, but then: "Okay, {firstname}. Sounds like this is serious."

It's only when you let out your breath that you realize you've been holding it in. "Thank you Jessie. I - "

"But you owe me for this okay? And I'm collecting this time."

"Sure, whatever you say," you say, smiling. "How soon can you - "

"I'm in the area already, actually. I'll be there in a few minutes."

You end the call and lean against the dresser, brushing back your long hair, still in that feminine style. A few minutes. That's not long to wait, and soon you'll be free of this place, and free of -

* Records show you have placed a call to the phone of Jessie Barett, Sara *

"What? what of it?" you ask, suspicious.

* You have also invited him here. *

"So? "

Perhaps you have forgotten that you have installed safeguards to prevent Mr. Barett from entering your house again?

"Um?" Wait, Jessie's been to the house before? You thought your sister found him to be an annoying pest. And, just as important... what safeguards?

"Do you mean to tell me that Jessie won't be able to enter the house?"

* Not unless Anti-Barett protocols are disengaged. *

Anti-Barett protocols? That seems to be more than a ban against Jessie coming in.

"CARA, remind me: what are these protocols again?"

* Inventory of currently active safety measures shall take approximately twenty-nine minutes and forty-two seconds. Shall I begin? *

Almost thirty minutes? Just how paranoid is your sister? Jessie will be here in a few minutes he said, so you need to make a decision fast.

Drop the protocols or risk losing Jessie's help?
