The Repeater

THE REPEATER

Odyssey Radio Services, Uli Murray speaking.

Penny, it's you.

Sorry, I didn't see your name pop up in the screen.

Yeah, of course I know it's our anniversary

Five years married.

How did we do it, right?

I'll be home by eight, okay?

I can't come earlier

I've got farewell drinks with one of the boys.

He's moving to New York.

Honey, I'm on the job right now.

TI've got to fix that damn radio repeater at the peak again.

It's going to take me the whole day.

Yep.

Yeah I know.

It's always late, that's how the job is...

As soon as I finish, I swear I'll go back home.

It's a farewell, not an excuse.

I might never see Bob again. No.

Don't you dare say that.

No, don't say that.

You're not going to die if I don't see you before 8.

Come on! Don't be dramatic!

The doctor's checkup is today?

Don't worry, everything's going to be alright.

What are you looking at?

I can't... I can't hear you Penny.

I can't hear. Hello?

Hey!

- Hey you! - Shit. Leave me alone.

Don't go there!

What did he want?

Creep.

Hey Buddy!

How is it going?

I'm on the job. Should be a quick one

Just need to switch the fuse you know. It's a piece of cake

Yep.

I'll probably be done and out by 2.

Yeah... you're a lightweight man!

You'd probably be wasted before your second beer.

Loser!

What the hell was that?

Bob?

Bob?

Are you there? Hello? Bob?

CELLULAR SERVICE FAILED.

Dead Zone.

Whatever.

What...

...the fuck?

What the hell, what the hell...

...what the hell?

Shit is real!

Don't go there.

Go back!

Holy shit!

What the fuck?

Damn!

Whatever.

Must be a shorter way up around her.

Somewhere.

There you are.

Come on Uli.

Done and beer in no time.

I don't remember this?

Hello?

Anyone dead inside?

You genius!

Still got time for a bite.
