The Ninja Epidemic

You dial Rick. The phone rings twice before someone picks up. It's Rick's mom.

"Hello"

"Hi, is Rick there?" You ask as though nothing is wrong.

"No, honey, he hasn't come home yet." Hasn't come home yet? Shit. Is he dead too? Or is he just taking a stoner cruise?

"Okay. Tell him I called." You say.

"I sure will." She says.

"Bye."

"Bye."

You hang up. What now? Rick didn't make it home yet. Is he dead or is he just taking his time? You can never realy tell with him, he's a notorious procrastinator.

You calling someone else, or running?
