Next Nite

Joe was back at his post, and his boss asked him to come in his office. Joe sat down in his office, and his boss said, he had checked the recording as well, of where Joe viewed the light, and how he felt strange, and also where he fell. The boss also asked if he heard of any new information from the professor. Joe said he would find out, and he returned to his post. Joe was thinking to himself, he was glad others had even held the object he found, and that there was a copy of the video, in which he had experienced the light. Other wise he was very concerned, that everyone at this point may be wondering, the things he was talking about might be a hoax. Even he was questioning to himself what was going on! He just thought, see what happens, and he was very thankful for having the Professor's insight, and that his boss thought very highly of Joe as well. So Joe now was very eager as well to see what might be next. He always paid strict attention at his job, but now, even more so! It was now time for Joe to do a walk through. Even though at this point he was a little reluctant. He was trying to look at everything as an experience. Also maybe even to find out more about these mysterious happenings so far. So Joe put on his hat, and grabbed his flashlight. Out into the cool night air he went. He's smiling to himself, so far, so good, now he was more relaxed. He was paying strict attention to every detail, but he wasn't so tense anymore. The walk through went fine. He only found a gum wrapper. So he came back to his post, and threw it into the trash can beside his desk. He looked at the monitors everything was ok. His cell phone went off, and he answered it. Hello, is this Joe? "Yes", Joe replied. The man on the phone said he was from the university's security office, and that he, and the others were having a hard time to locate the professor. He also explained although they were able to get into the professor's office, since it was unlocked, they weren't able to get into his lab room. Which as far as they were concerned was ok. They knew he wasn't in the room since one of the students thought they saw him out on the edge of the campus greens, by the woods. They wondered what he might be doing out there, but then again they knew, who knows what the professor is ever doing is questionable. Also if his lab room is locked that is a good thing, even as the man on the phone stated, you never know what the professor has going on in there! Joe thought to himself, you don't know the half of it! If the object is in there! Creating the sounds, and light show, and hasn't caught the whole building on fire yet! So Joe told the man, he would let the security office know if he hears of the where abouts of the professor, and the man on the phone told Joe, that he would let Joe know if they locate the professor as well. Joe then hung up the phone, and thought to himself, now what is the professor doing?!, and where has he gone? Joe knew the object was ok, being locked in the room. Although, it would be good to know what the object might be doing now, if anything, as well. Joe looked at the monitors, after he put his phone away. Everything was fine, so he got up, and went into the bathroom. When he came back he was getting ready to sit down, then he noticed he had missed the trash can, when he threw the gum wrapper away, or at least tried to. So he picked up the gum wrapper again, and went to throw it away again when he noticed it had a purple, jelly like substance in it, also now it was on his fingers. Curious of what it might be, if anything, he took out his sandwich, unwrapped the sandwich, and wrapped up the gum wrapper, for that now to be examined. He then went, and washed his hands. When he came back to his post he put away his sandwich, and put the wrapped up wrapper to the side of the monitors he didn't want it anywhere near his food, and he was glad he washed his hands. So Joe sits down, and looks at the monitors, everything looks fine. He also looks at the wrapper, that is where he placed it still. At this point he figures, he doesn't know what to expect. So then he takes out the newspaper, looks at the monitors again, everything is fine, and reads the paper. He stops reading, and looks at the monitors, and then he looks at the clock. He figures to go for a walk through, just before it is lunch time. So he puts the paper away, and checks the monitors. Then he puts his hat on, and grabs his flashlight, then he heads out for his walk through. While on the walk through, it is a very nice night, it is very clear, with lots of stars, he stops where the light was spotted, and where the episode took place. He figured since it was so clear he would take a little look to see if he spotted the light again, and if anything else might happen. He didn't take any chances he looked all around, but he didn't see anything. Also he continued to feel fine. So he finished with his walk through, and went back to his post. He sat down, looked at the monitors, and everything looked fine. So then he unpacked his lunch, took his thermos, and poured a nice hot cup of coffee. He also had a special dessert for his lunch, cherry pie, Mary had recommended it. While he was eating his lunch he looked over to the side of the monitor, which appeared to be smoking. He knew how important the monitors are, and how helpful they are. So he immediately sprang up from his seat to see what was going on! The monitors, and the wires connecting them were fine. What was smoking was the wrapped up wrapper. The plastic wrap he put it in was smoking, and burning away, and he could see all of the purple jelly substance all over. So he put it in some tinfoil he had from his lunch, that the pie was wrapped in. That seem to contain the wrapper, and the purple jelly substance better, and it wasn't smoking as much anymore. He then went out, and put it into a bucket he had in his truck. He didn't want anymore damage to come to his post, especially to the monitors! He then went back to his post, checked the monitors, and what was on the monitors' screens, and everything was fine. So he continued with his lunch, and everything was fine, he especially enjoyed the coffee, and the cherry pie. He was excited about the gum wrapper, but even more excited about going to see Mary, and tell her about how great the coffee, and cherry pie were. Joe finished with his lunch, took another close look at the monitors, and went to the door for some fresh air, then he went back to his post. He called to the security office of the university, but there was no new information about the professor's where abouts, so Joe thanked them, and hung up. After a couple more walk throughs, and checking the monitors, everything went well with the rest of Joe's shift. Then it was time for him to go home.
