A pair of new customers,
male and female, set up an account. They come in on a near-daily
basis over the next week and a half and Fernando has no problems at
all with them.
They rent Premium Rush
one afternoon. After Fernando picks it out of the drop box once he
arrives at the store the next day and inspects it cursorily, its
underside resembles the finished product of someone with minimal
spatial or mathematical awareness trying to graph a Fibbonaci
sequence. Concentric arcs of the disc's plastic have been channeled
away in deep, smooth gouges. Fernando grimaces. Why can't people ever
carve the summoning circles for their infernal patrons into their own
property?
Fernando digs through his
records for the duo's number and calls them up.
-Ring ring ring-
“Hello?” It is the
male half of the love equation.
“Yeah, hi, this is
Fernando from the Dominion of Movies. I'm calling about Premium
Rush.”
“Oh, uh, yeah, I was
gonna talk to you about this next time we came in.”
“Yeah, the disc is
pretty bad off. I'm afraid I have to levy a replacement fee.”
“That's fine. We
shouldn't have let our buddy borrow it.”
What in Cocytus?
“Alrighty, I just wanted to touch base with you. We can take care
of that whenever you guys are in next.”
“Cool. Thanks, man.”
“Thank you,”
says Fernando, and hangs up.
They come in two days
later to pay off the debit on their account in full and to rent
again.
