Malcolm Johnson, or as everyone called him Mack, had another emergency call for service this afternoon, his PDA already updating with the relevant information from the company. Being in heating and cooling, whenever the heat peaked so did the panic calls for a repairman. Mack was already sweaty and bit dirty after having crawled around two roofs and several side yards fixing various issues. The address was one in the very nice part of town, the kind of neighborhood where only those of substantial means lived, and definitely not an area where anyone he knew would live. From the notes and coding on the work order, it appeared the person calling in the felt it was a crisis deserving of immediate attention. The name on the work order was George Takamoto, which didn’t tell him anything, as he’d never heard of the guy.
The drive from his present job, would only take about 30 minutes, so he decided to stop off and get something to drink. Mack loved the job because he didn’t have anyone looking over his shoulder, and as long as he finished his jobs, no one bitched at him. Not bad for a guy who barely finished high school and spent most of his youth in and out of trouble. Luckily for him one of those socially forward looking government programs helped him get into a work program that taught him a trade. The heating and cooling business though not high paying, still paid well enough, and gave him enough money to survive, and once in awhile there were some perks to the job. Most times he went and worked on homes where there were wives or girlfriends that were in desperate need of some attention.
Driving down the broad street with large landscape meridian, each house placed well back from the road and many behind tall fences and large gates. If he weren’t in his utility repair truck he would have stood out, as there weren’t any brothers about. Mack pulled up to a large ornate gate, and was soon buzzed in as he drove the truck up the wide drive, which was all done in an ornate pattern of paver stones. Hopping out of the truck, in his blue coveralls, Mack still made an imposing figure, even if his tattoos were covered. He was a large tall black man with a broad chest and thick muscular arms. Taking off the sunglasses he hung them in a pocket as he grabbed the work PDA and walked up to the large double front doors to ring the bell.
