Chapter 1008 Calling The Old Man
chapter 1008 calling the old man
at this point, i didn't even notice that i dozed off for a few minutes until i was jolted awake by the ship's horn, telling its intent to leave the port. we did say our goodbyes to the group we'd be leaving behind but i still walked out and saw them waving us goodbye before driving off.
it was still a few hours past noon so we'd probably reach home right after they had dinner so i tried to make use of our traveling time to radio in a few people.
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*
"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.
