The end of the line

The last few days have been the most traumatic ever for me. Saturday last, Elekid never borrowed any money off me at all, except the odd few cents. He just relaxed in my company. Monday was the turning point. He had his usual massage etc & won big on the machines with his own money. But by 16:30 I had to leave him to begin filming with L. He accepted it, but was unhappy. "So, go & see your bf then!" he said. I did not answer & left. Tuesday he phoned while I was on my way home to collect Rattata who'd agreed to play a part in this film. He used all my credit talking about nothing much & asking when I'd be back. I thought nothing more of it & didn't bother re-crediting my phone. Wednesday - no calls, we got a lot of work done in ship-town. Thursday morning - He rings me while I was about to make a report. "I've told my Dad all about you Halo. What you did to me?" - "What are you talking about." I replied concerned that this was another of his pranks. "Tell him he's not allowed to see you anymore & if he comes near you again I'll get the cops involved." said a voice in the background (his father). The voice continued "I'm also going to his work to put in a complaint about him". All I could say to Elekid was "Why, why." - The answer was clear "Cause I don't trust you!". He hung up & I got Rattata & left, worried sick. Many, many twists & turns went through my mind, losing my job, losing my family, losing everything I'd ever built up. I phoned L he was going to e late for filming (that didn't help). Whilst waiting for him to arrive another call came through. "Is this Halo." - "Yes" I replied. "You know who I am don't you" - "Yes" - "Now what have you been doing to Elekid?" - "What does Elekid say I've done?" "He says you've been touching him." continues "I know he's 18, but he's been abused before & I don't want to see him go through any more grief. I've got a good mind to go to the cops & to your work & tell them. But I won't on this occasion. But if you ever go near him again or try to contact him, I'll jump on you straight away. Do I make myself clear". "Yes" was the reply. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that it was concential, or how Elekid had been extorting money out of me. I did use my brain & not mention Pichu or Brock at all. That would've made things worse. We succeded in completing all of the scenes involving Rattata. I did break down one time, L filmed it, with my permission, for possible use in the film. It was a very emotional moment. Yesterday was the toughest, first day back at work. A shiver went down my spine, when Elekid came into the shop. Deliberately making his way to my till point to be served. I tried to talk as if he was a normal customer, his stern look showed no compassion. I informed my Sv about the situation, that I wasn't allowed to see Elekid anymore. He suggested that I refuse to serve him & if he persists to call for assistance & have him thrown out of the shop. He returned a 2nd time. But I served him again. His expression was different, I paid less attention to him this time. My break came around, I saw Elekid & Pichu playing the arcades. I came back from the cashpoint, to see them hovering outside the shop. Pichu saw me gave me a warm friendly nod. (He seems to be the innocent victim in this latest round of mind games.) I entered via the other entrance & chatted to Sv on another subject. Later in the evening they came in again. Pichu acknowledged me again, but they went to another paypoint. As they left I looked out the window, the look Elekid gave me could've frozen hell over. That was the last I saw of them. I have been told by P & Sv to have nothing more to Elekid or his family & to steer well clear of them. L said that Elekid came into his venue & casually said "hello L". L said he had to move away or he would've swong at him with his fist. I've also been told not to let his current round of mind games get to me, cause he's trying to ship me up. That's my report. God has shown me grace, by lifting me away from harm at the very last minute (phone call from Dad), but I'm on a tight-rope wire at the moment. Halo |
