It was not for 10 minutes after he clocked in, a guy entered the scene, fake long stepping like someone exaggerating a sneaky walk. The guy was wearing a white sheet. On it the words I'm a ghost were written in large letters. The guy working the camera asked if he should call the cops. Johnny said no but asked for a phone to use.

He dialed the number on the note and it rang a few times before someone answered "City morgue,you stab em, we slab em"

To which Johnny replied why did you steal my bike?'' The voice on the other side coughed and made a sound, when he spoke it was through a voice changer. “If you want him back you will pay the ransom” and Johnny replied “are you fucking serious? Are you on drugs?” The Voice responded. “You will meet me at Aid-rite in 1 hour. I want to mcBiggie's and large fries. you will put it in a briefcase and have it there in one hour or else the bike gets it.” And Johnny replied “once again are you fucking serious? Give me back my bike!

They hung up and Johnny went to buy the food. His order came and the girl working handed him the bag. “Can I have a crown” asked johnny and she replied”ummm why?” but He just said, “Give me a damn crown ok?” She looks struck and gives him a crown. He leaves and walks over to the aid-rite exactly 100 feet, 

right across the street. He Sighs and walks over then goes to a pay phone and calls the number. right around the corner he hears a ringtone. The guy answers. “Grandma? Is that you?” to which Johnny replied “I'm not your grandma!” but The guy just says “Grandma I'm in the middle of a hostage negotiation I'll have to call you back.” So Johnny hangs up and walks around the corner. He sees the guy in the white coat on a cell phone. “I'm taking my bike.” says johnny, to Which the guy says to him “hold on it's my Grandma she's crazy.” so Johnny says “get off the damn phone.” The guy does so and clown walks over to the bike tied up with the sheet.
