Entry 53. June 17, 2009.
[x] Go chat with George Diccan.
"Interesting... Do you think he might know something? I guess I didn't consider that. He's a good friend. He may have worked with my mom, but I don't think he'd be in league with her or anything like that. Might as well go chat with him."
Rather than sitting around all afternoon trapped in thoughts about Rose, Felix decides to go have a friendly chat with George. It isn't a very far walk to the vet from his house. Inside, Felix catches George reading a magazine, obviously bored due to a slow business day.
"Hey man."
"Whoa! Felix... Hey. You surprised me."
"Sorry about that. So what's up?"
"Nothing at all. There's literally nothing to do today. I haven't had a single person come in."
"You should appreciate the relaxation. I'd like to."
"Haha. Your life is pretty crazy."
"You don't know the half of it..."
"I know more than you thi-"
George stops abruptly when he realizes what he was about to say.
"Huh? What was that?"
"Heh... Haha! Nothing, nothing! Was just gonna say my life is pretty stressful a lot too, but I didn't wanna sound like I was 'one-upping' or anything."
"Oh. It's cool man. I wouldn't want to deal with animals all day, every day."
"It's not so bad. Wish they could all be as great as your cat, though."
"She's wonderful, isn't she? Haha."
"Indeed. So why are you stopping in anyway Felix? Something happen?"
"Nah, just felt like catching up. I guess it's a slow 'business' day for me too. Heh."
"Hahaha. Well then. How are things with Melanie? Finally done being a prick to her?"
"Funny. We're doing great. I think all this craziness has actually brought us back together much stronger. I'm glad she's in my life again."
"That's great. I was starting to worry about you."
Felix and George talk back and forth for a while, catching up and picking on each other like old times. After most subject matter has been exhausted, Felix decides to ask about his mother.
"So George, you used to be friends with my mom, right?"
"Uhm...yeah. We worked together for a long time. Why do you ask?"
"Well...I was just wondering... You wouldn't happen to know what she's been up to these past years, would you?"
"Of course not! How could I? It's not like we keep in touch!"
"Sheesh. I was just curious... Why are you sweating?"
"It's hot."
"Not...really..."
"Well I'm hot! What the hell! Can't I sweat?"
"Why are you acting so strange all of a sudden?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"And you know, ever since I came in here to pick up Fuzzbuns, I've had the strangest feeling I saw you recently..."
"Must be your imagination."
"Did we see you at the water festival?"
"YEAH! That must be it. I was there. Probably saw me there."
"Hm...I suppose. I dunno. It's a weird feeling. Bothers me."
"Well it was nice chatting with you again Felix. I better stop slacking and go do something. Bye."
"Alright...see you later George."
Back outside, Felix thinks about how strange George was acting. He can't help but be curious about how suspicious he was, nor can he shake the awkward feeling of seeing him recently.
Right after Felix leaves, George calls someone on his cell.
"Felix was just in here. He was asking questions."
"And? Has he found anything out?"
"No, I don't think so. I think he might have seen me though."
"You idiot. He can't know yet."
"I know. Forgive me. I will be more careful and try avoiding him for now."
"Yes, I think that would be best. Don't screw this up."
On his way home, Felix tries thinking of new ways to kill time. Sadly enough, he almost wishes something exciting would happen again.
[] Go check what Melanie is up to.
[] Go chat with Clarissa Ven.
[] Go chat with Nicholas Lezoa.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

I know, it was in response to what Kurtle posted.
