Tonight was supposed to be a fun night watching a movie for Nero and his girlfriend. Shortly into the evening, a series of phone calls turns the night into something else.
 



Nero pulled into his girlfriend's driveway and got off his motorcycle.
He watched as the moon disappeared behind the clouds and wondered when 
it was supposed to rain tonight. Apparently there was a good chance of 
it as the news said there would be a seventy-four percent chance of it 
tonight. However, rain did not matter because nothing would ruin 
tonight for him. 

As he approached and knocked on his girlfriend's door, he knew anytime
he could spend time with his girlfriend was the greatest time of his 
life. The door swung opened and Jane Claire stood grinning. 

“About time you got here, you big ox,” Jane Claire said. “I was about to
start the movie without you.” 

“We couldn't have that, now can we?” Nero said. He straightened his
leather jacket as he walked in and the two walked towards the living 
room. 

“What kept you so long, anyway?” Jane Claire asked. 

“I had to pick up my new cell phone,” Nero replied as he placed it on
the kitchen counter. “I just got it.” 

“Oh,” Jane Claire replied. “Cool. Well, come on. Time to get this movie
started!” 

The two went on to her living room. Nero sat down on the couch as Jane
Claire put the DVD into the DVD player. She turned off the room's 
lights and sat next to Nero with a bowl full of popcorn. 

The movie started and the two sat there watching and holding each
other's hands and fighting for the popcorn. As they sat enjoying the 
movie, Nero's cell phone began ringing from the kitchen. At first, they 
did not want to answer it, but the cell phone kept ringing, even after 
a full minute. 

Nero sighed. “I'll be right back,” he said. 

He went to answer the phone in the kitchen. Jane Claire could not hear
what he was saying, but about ten seconds after answering it, Nero 
walked back in the living room. 

“Who was it?” 

“I don't know,” Nero replied. 

“I thought you answered it?” 

“I did,” Nero said. “But no one said anything. They just hung up and I
have no idea who it was. Didn‘t recognize the number either.” 

“Oh. Well, it must have just been a wrong number then,” Jane Claire
said. “Come on and watch the movie.” 

Nero slid the cell phone into his blue jeans' pocket and sat down next
to her. Jane Claire took the DVD off pause and they began watching 
again. Five minutes went by as they enjoyed the movie. 

Suddenly, the cell phone rang again. Nero pulled it out and looked at
the screen with the number. 

“It's the same number,” Nero said. “Pause the movie, I want to see who
this idiot is.” 

Jane Claire picked up the remote and paused the movie. “Hello? Who is
this?” Nero paused for a few seconds. “I said who is this?” More time 
passed filled with silence. “Fine!” Nero discontinued the call. 

“Did they not say anything again?” 

“Not a word,” Nero said. “I don't know what they're doing thou-” The
cell phone rang again and Nero looked at the number. 

It was the same caller.
