It started with an eerie feeling in one of those boring dead-end jobs in the public waterworks office in a very rural area. I happen to be the accountant and it was in one of those just-can’t-stop-working nights before a big audit and I’m with the guard who happens to be about a couple of blocks away from me (joke).

The air was just plain humid and a bit stale I guess, when suddenly without warning the door opened letting a stranger in with the strangest accent. His directly bored at me and without any precedence of what was the topic whatsoever, started right away with the thing he had in mind.

“You have to come with me”, he said in a booming voice that considers no rebuke.

Naturally, I had serious misgivings about this whole affair considering that I don’t know the guy and obviously who the hell does he thinks he is when he started to order me around and especially following to some unknown parts in the middle of the night.

“Wait a minute mister, why do I have to follow you and for what purpose is it besides it is almost midnight and I’m really dead tired of the overtime I’m doing right now plus I seriously want to just sleep after this.”

“You still have to come with me nevertheless, your explanations are not relevant anymore when you consider where we are going”, he answered with that tone again that knows no rebellion.

Well anyway, basing on the answer he gave me, it certainly perked me up as to what place he had in mind exactly. Plus the fact that he didn’t gave much details to give me a clear-cut picture.

“You have a summons to the court we are about to go to”. This definitely started to make me think as to what the details he was pertaining to.

“Well okay, if that’s what you say but what kind of proof do you have to say that it is me exactly who needs to be summoned into the place you are implying.”

He screwed his face as if in pain trying to decide whether what I said was actually pertinent to the question or was I just a plain pain-in-the-ass.

“Well I do have here a subpoena from the court I was previously talking about.”

“By all means then we should take a look at it”, I answered with a relief thinking that at last I would know the details to his highly irregular request of me.
