Pizza delivery and trick or treaters

Recently home from a long day at the office, Derek fixed himself a cocktail then picked up his cellphone to order a pizza. There was no time to cook because he had to prepare the presentation he had to give at work the next day. There were a lot of numbers to go over and it would surely take him all evening long.

With the pizza ordered Derek picked up his cocktail and his briefcase and went to his office in the back of his apartment. Turning on the light, he set his cocktail down on the coaster atop his desk then turned on the desk lamp. He opened his briefcase after setting it on the desk chair. He pulled the papers out of his briefcase, setting them atop the desk then he placed the briefcase on the floor.

Sitting in the chair, he took a healthy swig of his cocktail then lit a cigarette. Damn! he thought to himself, I work all freaking day and now I’m spending my evening working. He took another sip of his drink. At least now I can drink and smoke while I work.

And then there was a knock at his apartment door. What the hell? There’s no way the pizza is here already! He went to the door and opened it.

“Trick or treat!”

There were two costumed children at his door holding out bags for Derek to drop candy…
