"Maybe we should just call James, he's usually calm about crazy stuff that happens." You suggest. Jake seems disappointed by this suggestion, but Chris agrees with you. You all eventually make your way back to James' car with the device and try to call James. He doesn't pick up at first and you get impatient. Then you get a text from him. "Call you in 5 gotta finish up this lame project." After what felt like half an hour, but was probably only around 10 minutes, he picks up. You see his face on your phone and he seems like he's at his parents house. "So whats up? Sorry I couldn't be there, work stuff and all." He gives that excuse almost every time you all try to hang out. Jake immediately cuts into the conversation. "So this sphere thing fell from the sky and then we opened it and it lit up green and there was this phone thing it it with all these buttons and there was smoke and we didn-" James cuts him off. " Alright buddy slow down I don't know what you're saying. Chris takes over and explains what happens much slower and a lot more clearly than Jake did. James seems a bit skeptical but curious.
You aim the camera at the device as James gives you commands on what to do. "Alright now press that button. What does that thing do? Ooh that's interesting." He orders you around for a little bit until you turn over the device to reveal a red button on the back. "What does that button do?" You hadn't really noticed this button yet and hadn't messed with it yet. Chris cuts in for the first time in a while "I don't really think we should just be pressing buttons willy nilly and all." James scoffs at him. "Aw cmon you wimp, just press it." You reach down and press the button while pointing the camera at it. It lets out a green wave of electricity that enters your phone. You hear James on the other side. "Ow what the heck was that? My phone just shocked me!" He says shaking his hand. "Whoa I feel weird. What the heck?" You look at your phone and he looks weird. It looks like he has a thick beard and something dark on his nose. "Oh my god what the heck is happening to mee?" He says in a distressed voice. You try to look at him again but he drops his phone on the ground and it faces up towards the ceiling. You can still hear him through your phone though. "My hands? What is this all over my body? I feel so weirrrrd" It almost sounds like he's growling. "Guys can you hearrrrr me? Somethings happened I WOOF. I can't rrrrWOOF RUFF hreelp mree WOOF WOOF RUFF." All you can hear now is a dog barking on the other line. Eventually you see a German Shepherd walk up to the phone and claw at it desperately while barking. Eventually he must hit the end call button because your connection drops.
"That was weird, it seemed like he was losing connection, and I didn't know his parents have a dog." Chris says confused. "It was really weird" You say "He was talking about feeling weird or something, you think we should go check on him?" You look at your phone. Its a text from Jake. "ggfafiajfasflgglFfdsSSD33eS" You look at Chris and Jake. "Huh that's weird, his phone must be malfunctioning"
