Friday night when I arrived home, my shit phone rang. I saw that it was Gertie, so I picked up and got ready to chew her out for screwing me over.

“Mr. Herisson,” she said, her voice loud and pompous. “I have spoken to Ellen. She has informed me that you are ready.”

“If you mean ready to claw my own eyes out from reading—”

“Shh! Do not speak!” she said, and it occurred to me that Gertie was doing what every character in a movie or TV show does when they want to sound mysterious or other worldly: they stop making contractions. What, am I supposed to believe that a vampire or elf or something doesn't have the ability to say “I'm” or “you're”? “I am going to suck your blood, after which you are going to be my slave!” Why do they do this? Maybe since they live forever, they aren't worried about saving time by speaking faster.

“You will go to the Getty Museum Rose Garden, where you will wait for me at the edge of the pool.”

“Yes. I will go there,” I said.

“Excellent. Goodbye—oh wait a minute. You're free tomorrow at 10, right?” she asked, followed by a deep smoker's hack.

“Yeah, no problem.”

“Wonderful. I will see you on the morrow,” she said, and hung up.
