Possession 2

I give to you a story in eleventy-one words...

Jeff finished his presentation and excused himself to make the call. Given such nice weather he went outside and walked to a secluded spot away from the building. He dialed the number his wife had provided.

‘Pat Wiles,’ the voice was raspier than he remembered.

‘Hey Pat, this is Jeff Chaput. Long time no chat.’

‘Jeff, how the hell are you?’

‘I can’t complain. I’m out in Texas giving a presentation.’

‘Yeah, you’re wife told me.’

There was an awkward pause.

‘She said I have something of yours?’

‘In a manner of speaking. You owe me.’

‘What?’

‘How soon you forget.’

‘No really, do I owe you money or something?’

‘Something.’
