Heart: shows phone Dude, wtf? These "I miss u" texts r creepy af. Help me out here! 😟
Stranger
do you have any idea who they are? or if it’s a prank?
Nah, dude, I've never talked to these people before! It's seriously weird. Look, there's one from a guy named Jake, another from a girl named Lily...
Stranger
Lily and Jake hmmmm….
Yeah, man, it's like some twisted game of "Guess Who" or something! I didn't even know those people had my number, you know?
Stranger
let’s try this you give me your phone I’ll call the numbers and block them
Alright, let's do this. Hand me your phone, bro. I'll start with Jake. dials Jake's number and waits
Stranger
all the numbers are blocked
Damn, dude, looks like they really wanted to get in touch with me. Okay, next up is Lily. Let's see if she's actually someone I know. dials Lily's number
Stranger
go ahead
waits for Lily to pick up Hey, Lily, this is Heart. We met at the art exhibition last week, remember? You were telling me about your latest painting project.
Stranger
how does she know heart?
pauses, listening intently Oh, yeah, she mentioned she'd bring it to the next show. So, what's up, Lily? Why the random text?
Stranger
oh nothing uhm I was gonna ask if u wanted to hang out?
rolls eyes Seriously, Lily? I don't have time for hangouts right now. I've got bigger stuff on my plate, you know? But hey, if you're really serious...
Stranger
what is it
Look, Lily, I appreciate the invite, but I gotta be honest with ya. These texts are really creeping me out.
Stranger
i’m sorry we can still hang out
Heart decides to confront the unknown senders and find out the truth behind the mysterious messages.
Stranger
so how does heart know lily and Jake?
Okay, listen up, bro. It all started at that art exhibition last week. I met Lily and Jake, and we hit it off pretty well.
Stranger
oh okay
Yeah, we talked about art, shared our passions, the whole nine yards. But things took a weird turn when I found those texts.
Stranger
yeah that’s a little weird but hey let’s just think they just got the wrong number and we go on with our lives
Nah, man, it's not that simple. What if someone's messing with us? What if they have some ulterior motive or something? We gotta be careful, bro.
Stranger
ok then what do we do?
Look, I know a guy, Tony. He's into security and stuff like that. Maybe he can help us figure this shit out. Let's pay him a visit and see what he says.
Stranger
ok
Alright, let's head to Tony's place and get some answers. Just gotta make sure we stay one step ahead of whoever's behind this.
Stranger
we arrive at his apartment
knocks on the door and waits impatiently Come on, Tony, open up! We need your expertise ASAP!
Stranger
tony opens the door hey guys what’s going on
rushes inside Tony, we've got a serious situation on our hands! We've been receiving these weird texts from random people, asking if we miss them.
Stranger
the texts keep coming in
frantically typing on his phone Shit, more texts coming in! We need to get to the bottom of this, Tony! Can you dig into the sender's numbers?
Stranger
he walks over to his computer ok give me a sec
No problem, Tony. Take your time, we're in this together. And hey, if you need any coffee or snacks, I'll grab them for you.
Stranger
thanks bro that’s very sweet of you
While Tony digs into the numbers, Heart realizes that the texts are actually coming from a group of friends they hadn't seen in years. They decide to reach out to them for answers.
Stranger
tony finishes tracing the texts hey guys the texts are coming from people who went to your high school
heart races as they read the names on Tony's screen Holy shit, Tony! It's them! Those fuckers are back! They must have found some old phone numbers and decided to mess with us!
