Arthur had left earlier that morning to get some researching done for his most recent job (not going under but still needing to do the point work for those that were) but made sure to leave the "birthday boy" with
breakfast already made. The point man wasn't skilled enough to make him a full English breakfast but he did know Bob had a sweet tooth so those were the next best thing, he felt.
He didn't return until a few hours later (like he had said) but when he did, it wasn't empty-handed.
He had two boxes with him and managed to balance them both as he got the door to the flat unlocked and closed it with his foot.
"Bob," he called out, "you still here?"
