Packages — Prologue
—Griffen
Aaron quietly let himself into Veronica’s apartment. He didn’t have a key, but fifty dollars to an unscrupulous locksmith’s apprentice was more than enough to convince him that Aaron could borrow a tool to by the door for the afternoon.
It was an apartment. Mostly clean, with only a little bit of clutter showing that the place was lived in. Honestly, the messes were the only things that weren’t company standard. The furniture, the wallpaper, even the lighting was exactly what every other apartment in the complex had and was very boring. But it also meant that he knew where everything was. The bedroom was right off the main living area and the door was slightly ajar.
He slid through the bedroom door, careful to mark where it was so that he could put it back in place when he left and made his way over to Veronica’s bedside table where there was a small alarm clock / sound system combination. With careful and deliberate motions, he sat on the bed and began to take the back off the stereo.
It was a pity, he thought as he worked, that it had come to this. Veronica and him had been coworkers for a few years now and almost what he would have called friends. He had been planning on asking her out on a date, but then she had gotten promoted and suddenly was his boss and it was too improper for them to even be friendly. It… well it had really frustrated Aaron. Especially since Veronica was just his type. Physically: pale skinned, black hair, thin and willowy, and large breasted, but also mentally smart enough to keep up with him. The only area where she didn’t quite adhere to his ideal was with her style. Sweaters, slacks, and flats were not how he liked his women. And the drab browns and dark greens weren’t exactly attractive either. But that was all about to change. He had been hoping to talk her into changing her style, but given how... distant she was these days it just didn’t seem likely. In fact, if he didn’t do something now, he’d likely never have a chance.
With a small pop, the entire rear fell off the bedside stereo, leaving the inner workings exposed. Aaron took the device from his pocket and calmly attached it to the main circuit board before starting to screw everything back together. After this he would have to go to the fridge and attach the second device to her water filter.
It might take a bit, but Aaron had time. And at the end of it all, not only would he have himself a girlfriend, but he’d have himself the dream. A big tiddy goth girlfriend.
