BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1008: Calling The Old Man
Obviously, the first person I tried to contact was the old man, Oscar, and he picked up on the first ring:
-
*bzzt*
[KID! I heard you\'re finally getting back! I have some news for ya!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Subic Bay?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Aww~ man! Johnny told you, huh?! It was supposed to be a surprise!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"So what\'s the plan for going there—"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Going? I\'m already here, you dumbshit! We helped them clear the Marine base and everything! I\'m helping them set up and all and I\'ve taken a few dozen panels over here and they\'re loving it!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"WHAT?!"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Jealous, huh? Things happen over there, things happen over here too, little shit! I would\'ve loved to welcome you back because the two weeks felt like two years but we\'re still waiting for more… uh… guests… to arrive.]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"How about Irene\'s package?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[WHA— She sent something back too?! HAHAHAHAHA!!! I still got it, right?! RIGHT?! I\'m~ the fuckin\' man— But seriously, don\'t even try to open that shit or I\'ll chop your fuckin\' balls off! Ya hear?! I\'m serious!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"I\'m not even gonna try, old man… So, who else is coming?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Figure it out, dumbass! Who do you think I\'ll wait for besides other veterans like me? My place would surely be crowded once I take them in but I always have a room set aside for her—]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"OH FUCK! Jennifer\'s coming, huh?!"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[HEH! You got that fuckin\' right! I guess she misses her old man still… The carrier they\'re on is getting crowded and crowded with the oh, so special peoples and as usual, they\'ll just send the not-so-special ones to this place or other much closer shit—no offense to our archipelago but you know how my people think.]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"But it works for us—"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Whaddaya mean it works for us?! If I see you fuckin\' look at her a certain way, I\'ll beat your fucking dick off!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Not this shit again— No homo but that sounds a little—"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER, YOU HEAR?!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Chill, old man. Fine! I\'ll try to stay away from her. I won\'t even speak to her while—"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[WHY?! IS SHE NOT GOOD ENOUGH?! SHE\'S A FUCKING MARINE FOR GOD\'S SAKE—]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Bitch— I dunno if you\'re getting fucking senile but you have to get your stories straight! D\'you want me to fuck her or not?!"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[AHHHH! STOP MAKING IT SO WEIRD!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"You\'re the one who brought up the topic! And what if she\'s the one to come to me?! Or god forbid, she gets played by a dumbass?! Are you gonna blame me for that too?! Make up your mind, alright?!"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Huh. I didn\'t think about it that way… You\'re making a lot of good points. I decided: I give you my blessing. I\'m expecting a baby at your earliest convenience—]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"..."
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Kid?]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"I was just talking in hypotheticals…"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[But I wanna be a grandpa now, kid! I thought you\'d put one in yours so I was kinda excited but you fucks keep waiting for the right fucking time! Ah— You might have some problems though…]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"What are you on about now?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[I believe she\'s a lesbian… I believe that didn\'t stop you before…]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"I\'m hanging up, you dumbass… Couldn\'t you have started with that?! She might be committed for all we know!"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Haah?! Be a little progressive, alright?! They can have babies too! Just need a proper donor—]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Beeeeeep~ The number you\'ve dialed is unattended, the number you dialed—"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[I KNOW IT\'S STILL YOU, YOU LITTLE SHIT! ARE YOU GONNA GET HER PREGNANT OR WHAT?!]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"You— Be a little progressive too, then! It\'s her choice after the fact, alright?! A-Anyway, do you need me there or something? A delivery or a resupply perchance? I\'ll still be busy once we arrive but I\'ll be ready first thing in the morning."
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Of course, you\'ll be fucking busy. I wonder how much pussy you\'re bringing back this time… Ha… But yeah, we\'re still figuring a lot of things out but I\'ll give you a call if I ever need anything important… I have— no, we have people back home that could do shit for us…]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Okay, old man. Stay safe, alright?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Heh. Thanks, kid. You too, wear condoms—]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Asshole! WANT A BOX OF VIAGRA DELIVERED TO YA?!"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU CAN\'T MAKE ME MAD WITH THAT!!! NOT ANYMORE!!! GET FUCKED, KID!!! BYEEEEE!!!]
*bzzt*
-
With that said, I ended the call while laughing my ass out because talking with the old man was something I\'ll never get tired of and I was glad to know he wasn\'t just moping around at his home and drinking alcohol but did something great and was now waiting for the arrival of his daughter.
I would\'ve loved to be at least part of the clearing group when they reclaimed the Marine base but I\'m pretty sure that there was still a lot of work that needed to be done or wasn\'t a priority yet, but we\'ll get right on it once I pay a visit.
But yeah, after that call, the person I tried to contact next was Honasan, one of our helicopter pilots I asked him if there was an available helicopter for immediate use and the response was:
"All of them, sir. Even the one on your roof."
On that note, I asked him to prepare to accompany me and attach a coupling mechanism for the cargo we would be taking from a certain farm and a few other items I promised our one hell of a butler. It wasn\'t as drawn out of a conversation compared to the one I had with Oscar but the next one I tried to contact was Sebastian— no, Edith so we\'d be also straight to the point.
