Chapter Twenty-One

“If someone rents something and doesn’t bring it back, what do you do?”

“The account is forwarded to collections.”

“Ah, ok then. I’d like to rent these four games for a night please.”

Gord sees that all the games are new releases, and multi-CD games.

“Do you have an account?”

“Nope, what do you need.”

“ID and a credit card.”

“Why a credit card?”

“Take a guess. In a book, it’s called foreshadowing.”

Tetris Plus & Rage Racer not returned! Moved. Product Replaced 6/14/98

Forwarded to collections 6/20/98

Returned 7/4/98 – blames roommate

Shaun, dazzled by her remarkable looks claimed “no problem!” and waived her late charges. Now I have extra copies of the games, and no money from late charges.

Memo: Shaun is to be beaten at a future time.
