Rescue

Dave logged out from the game, got out of his capsule and brushed his teeth. He slept like a baby that night. When Dave woke up in the comfort of his bed, he looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling and smiled.

"It's been a long time since I slept that good."

Dave got up, took a quick shower then ordered breakfast and called Zoe. After a few rings, the phone connected, a few seconds of silence then a drowsy voice came across the line.

"Hello?"

"Hey Zoe, still in bed?"

"Yeah, what time is it?" she asked.

"It's ten in the morning, We have to finish your quest!"

"Lemme sleep more…"

"I have other things to do, but I'm stuck in that icy hell where your quest is. "

More silence.

Then, "Alright. Gimme half an hour, shower and eat, then I will log-in."

"I'll be waiting for you." Dave hung up and logged in from his capsule.
