Chapter 228: 228
When he saw me pull out my satellite phone from my pack, he was shocked and he almost spilled his beer. However, in a very quick moment, he sneered and then he started to laugh after burping.
“I told you kid! She wouldn’t answer~! Let me show you.” he pulled out his phone and started to dial it manually. The tones of his keypad resounds each time he presses a number.
“Why are you dialing it manually? Didn’t you save it at least?” I asked.
“Bah! That’s one of the things I wouldn’t forget even if I get amnesia!” he declared.
“That’s not how amnesia works old man!” I rebutted.
After he dialed it, he didn’t make it ring even once and he ended the call.
“See kid? She never answers!” he exclaimed.
I was so annoyed at what he was doing so I didn’t even try to argue so I raised my phone again. He started to sit down on one of his workbenches as he slaps his thighs in amus.e.m.e.nt.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA~!!! As if you would know her number! I’m the only one who knows that! Is the beer making you stupid kid?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!” his face has slowly started to redden.
“Really~? I bet I could correctly guess that number~” one of my eyebrows are raised while I’m smiling cheekily.
“I knew it! You’re just trying to scare me! I’m the only one who knows her number, kid! Don’t even try! HAHAHAHAHA~!!!” he exclaimed.
I finished the whole can and then I threw it over his trash can. I made a huff and then I continued on pressing the numbers that I could remember on my head.
“If I got it correctly… it’s…” I pressed the numbers in my phone but he’s still laughing uncontrollably.
“HAHAHAHAHA~!!! Keep acting all you want kid! I know you’re just trying to scare me! I’ll bet any of my guns here if you could actually guess it! If not, you’ll give me all of your shotguns!!!” he shouted with confidence.
I ignored his rabbles but then it suddenly connected to the other line. I actually waited for a while and actually wanted to end the call but Oscar’s smile warranted a faceslapping.
“This is Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Goodman. This is a private line from whom you’re calling at and I suppose this number belongs to someone who knows me privately. To whom am I speaking to?” the voice from the other side said.
“HAHAHAHAHA~!!! Who the f.u.c.k did you hire to even talk like my daughter, huh?! They even know of her rank, HAHAHAHAHA~!!!” Oscar is still oblivious to what is happening.
I gave him an indifferent smile as I replied to the voice.
“This is Sky Ishiyama, good friend of Colonel Oscar Goodman I’m-” then I was cut off.
“PUT THAT F.U.C.K.I.N.G OLD BASTARD IN THE F.U.C.K.I.N.G PHONE RIGHT F.U.C.K.I.N.G NOW OR I’LL F.U.C.K.I.N.G SEND A F.U.C.K.I.N.G WARHEAD TO WHERE YOU’RE F.U.C.K.I.N.G AT~!!!” the voice bellowed.
“Oh shit!” I thought to myself. 𝑵𝗈𝗏𝑬𝑙𝗇𝗲xt.𝐂𝗈𝔪
Before I handed the phone to Oscar, I made sure to turn the volume up so I could listen in. I saw in the corner of my eye that Matthew and Johnny had made their way towards us and were just standing by the door. I waved them over so that they could approach us to something I knew would happen but still didn’t. Oscar on the other hand was still all smiles and has started to play around thinking that it’s still part of an elaborate joke.
“Wow~ kid. You’re really pulling out all the stops now, are ya? Okay, okay, hic! I’ll play along… Hello~ whoever the f.u.c.k is in the other line would de-” then it happened.
“YOU MOTHERF.U.C.K.I.N.G STUPID ASS UNGRATEFUL LYING SACK OF HORSE SHIT ON A SALTINE CRACKER!!! WHERE THE F.U.C.K ARE YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G BITCH ASS OLD MOTHERF.U.C.KER IS HUH?! DON’T YOU KNOW HOW I’M CLOSE TO RAZING THE F.U.C.K.I.N.G GROUND LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU?!” the voice exploded.
“Wow~ good job on finding someone that curses like her too! Bah! I’m getting tired, kid. I’m gonna hit the sack and won’t be attending the meeting for today.” Then he ended the call.
I was shocked, same with Johnny and Matthew.
“Bud, that’s a real call…” Johnny said when he saw the phone screen.
“What? Oh~ Wow~ kid. You even got these two to help you, huh? Props to that, props to that.” he started on clapping.
“Shit. He got too much to drink. Why’s he turning to Owen Wilson?” I said.
However, when he was about to walk past us, my phone rang again.
“Oi, kid. Your phone actually has someone calling, huh? It’s… it’s…” then he snapped back to reality.
He quickly answered the phone with fear and he sat upright on the chair he was into earlier. I on the other hand started to scan my eyes on his armory searching for anything that would pique my interest. However, I stopped when I heard him speak.
“H-hi… so… how’s work?” was Oscar’s first words.
*unintelligible terms*
“Ahahaha… you know… daddy’s been busy for a few-” he was cut off.
*more unintelligible terms*
“Shit. I wish I could hear what she was saying!” I thought to myself.
“Yes.”
*unintelligible terms*
“Yes… he hacked my…”
*unintelligible terms*
“Yes ma’am…”
*unintelligible terms*
“I am…”
*unintelligible terms*
“I will…”
*unintelligible terms*
“He is, yes. He is.” He looked at me for a moment.
*unintelligible terms*
The three of us watching him can’t help but laugh on his predicament and we tried to listen in by coming close to his ear. However, he immediately pointed his shotgun towards our direction so we’re just stuck listening to him getting berated by his daughter. After a while, he gave my phone back to me and surprisingly, the line is still on.
Oscar started to get more cans of beer from his refrigerator and started to drink by himself. Matthew and Johnny approached him while I was left alone in his armory. I turned the volume up and the speakers on so they could hear our conversation.
“Hello?” I placed the phone on my head.
“Sorry for the outburst earlier.” Jennifer said.
“Sure. I understand.” I replied.
“I’m usually calm but finding out that MOTHERF.U.C.KER IS STILL ALIVE AND DIDN’T EVEN HAD THE…” she started to yell at the line again for a few minutes and Oscar flinches every time his name was mentioned.
“They’re really alike in this way.” I thought to myself.
“Shit. F.U.C.K! I’m sorry, I’m usually calm but… *deep breaths* okay, I’m calm now. Anyway, thank you for informing me of his status. He said that you hacked his phone so you got a hold of this number, is that true?” she asked.
“What? No, I just listened for it.” I replied.
“Listened? Care to explain?” she grew curious.
“Well your old man’s phone has just a SatSleeve where he places it on and the phone that he is using has the settings on where if you press a number a sound will be made. Each number has a corresponding sound to it and he dialed it in when I was in close proximity. So… pretty easy, right?” I replied.
“…” she was silent.
“Hello?” I asked.
“T-that sounds a b-bit… Anyway, I believe this number is yours. Can you give me his number as well? I don’t want to disturb you each time I wanted to talk to him.” she asked and then I told her Oscar’s number.
“Thank you. I’m quite free at the moment so could you tell me your situation over there? I just wanted to know if he’s telling me the truth. How are your resources?” she said.
“Oh! We don’t have oil here.” I replied blankly as several cans flew and assaulted my body.
“KID?!” Oscar bellowed.
“THE F.U.C.K IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” Same with Johnny.
“HAHAHAHAHA~!!! GOOD ONE~!!!” Matthew started to die laughing.
I heard soft chuckles from the other side and she spoke again.
“Please be serious here. I’m afraid I can’t come over there to my father since I’m still in the line of duty. Our situation here is very hard and these small moments here I will deeply cherish.” she said solemnly.
“You could always come here.” I replied.
The three far from me were silent.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t. Also, I won’t. If we weren’t out here… you know the reason.” she replied.
“I understand. I’d like to be in a warship for once though. Just call us if somehow you’re close to where we are.” I said.
“Sure. Hmm? How did you know I’m in a warship?” she asked.
“Shit.” I thought to myself.
“You’re in the navy, right? Of course you’ll be in one. If you’re in a different vehicle I’d be surprised.” I tried to cover it up.
“Right. I see, I see. I’m being called so I’ll just call when I’m available. You’re lucky you called me at this time when I’m on a break. Tell that old bastard to answer it or else.” she said then she hung up.
I walked up to them drinking and Oscar laid his eyes on me.
“Your f.u.c.k.i.n.g ears.” he said.
“Heh. Gotcha, didn’t I?” I replied.
He drank a few gulps and he started to stare at the ground.
“Now I know how my wife feels.” he said solemnly.
