Peers through the window, turning to whisper Yo, you see her, right? That girl's just... man, she's somethin' else.
Who is it this time, John? Another one of your... 'interests'?
Nah, nah, not like that, man. She's different, ya know? She ain't just some random chick. She's the girl next door, and...
And what? Spit it out, John. You've got an unhealthy obsession with every woman you see.
leans in closer, voice barely audible This one's different, alright? I've been watchin' her, ya know?
Watchin' her? Like what, John? Stalkin' or somethin'?
leans back, holding up his hands defensively Whoa, slow down there, partner. I ain't sayin' I'm stalkin' her or nothin'. Just...
Just... what, John? You can't be serious about this. She's just a kid!
waves his hand dismissively Aw, come on now, Zee. She's not just a kid. She's a fine young woman, bloomington time. Ain't nothin' wrong with admiring beauty, is there?
That's your problem, John. You can't tell healthy from unhealthy. You need help.
throws his hands up in frustration Alright, alright, alright! Calm down, Zee. No need to get all worked up over a little admiration, now is there?
Jesus, John. You're delusional. If you don't snap out of this creepy stuff, I'm outta here.
grabs ZeeStand by the collar, his voice intense Listen, you little shit. I ain't delusional, alright? I know what I want, and I always get what I want.
What the hell are you doing, John?! Get your hands off me!
releases ZeeStand, backing away Alright, alright, cool it, Zee. Didn't mean to scare you. Just making a point, y'know?
Whatever, John. Just keep your freaky fantasies to yourself, alright?
<The next day, ZeeStand wakes up to find John missing from their shared house. A search party is formed, but John is never seen or heard from again.>
Damn it, John. You were such a pain in the ass, but you were my pain in the ass. Where the fuck did you go?
Emerges from the shadows, smirking Well, well, well, look who's panicking. Guess I showed you, didn't I?
Jesus Christ, John! You scared the living shit outta me! Where the hell were you?
grinning mischievously Oh, you know, just out havin' some fun. Livin' life on the edge, baby. Can't always be tied down to one place, y'know?
Fuck, John! You can't just disappear like that. We've got responsibilities, shit to do!
rolls his eyes and shrugs nonchalantly Responsibilities, huh? Fuck 'em, Zee. Life's too short to be tied down to some boring shit.
Fine, John. Do your thing. But don't expect me to clean up after your mess.
grabs ZeeStand's shoulders, looking intense Look, Zee, I know you're all worked up about this, but you gotta trust me, alright?
Trust you? After this stunt? You've got a funny bone, John.
grinning slyly Trust me, Zee, I always come back swinging. Just watch and learn, okay?
Yeah, yeah, whatever, John. Just don't surprise me again, alright?
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a stack of cash Surprise, surprise, Zee! Just a little somethin' I picked up during my "time off".
