Chris returned home from the library and set his books and pen down on the coffee table. He flopped down into the cushions, breathing a sigh of relief. Between the hours working on his final paper and a trek home in the pouring rain, he was about ready for a nap.

He shifted uncomfortably, something hard poking into his side. He reached down between the cushions and his fingers closed around his cell phone.

Hmm, so that's where it went, he mused.

Flipping the cover open, he noted that there were three missed calls. He checked his call log and saw one was from Anton. He hadn't heard from his friend in ages and thought quickly to call him back. Well, until he saw the other two missed calls had been from Jimmie. A return call to him took priority in his mind and made a mental note to call Anton back later.

Before he had the chance to dial the number, his phone began to ring.

"Hey," he said, pressing the green button to accept the call. It was from Jimmie. "I was just about to call you back."
