Zander: Because we’re all you’ve got
Mark: Poor me.
Robbie: You’ve been biding your time for over a decade. What’s going on now?
Gialo: I’ll give you a hint Robster, she’s got an amazing ass
Zander: I’m more of a tits man but hers would do
Van: Whipped already?
Robbie: I was under the impression you had been around women.
Gialo: Like, a lot of women.
Robbie: Arguably a gross number of women
Mark: SHUT UP ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES AND HELP ME.
Mark: She’s invading my life already, and we aren’t even married. The ROI isn’t adding up.
Van: So that’s a yes. Whipped.
Gialo: I can’t even imagine you worked up, let alone over a woman.
Zander: This is your mission, just keep your head down and focus
Mark: I am focused. I want the access I was promised. Visuals. Confirmations.
Gialo: Marky’s first tantrum! This is so great.
Van: If anyone knows tantrums, it’s you G.
Zander: Fact check: true.
Mark: Hello, can Gialo not be the center of our attention for one minute?
Robbie: Incoming.
Our text thread disappears from my phone as if it was never there just before the screen lights up with Robbie’s incoming call.
“Seriously, I’m in the belly of this nasty beast here, or in DC on The Hill , and I want to see some inner workings already.” I spit.
Rob chuckles nervously on the other end of the line, “Don’t we all. But. Fausto is calling a meeting next week.”
“Finally. Any word from my father about it?”
His voice changes. “Actually. Your parents are hosting their big soiree Saturday. You need to attend.”
“He’ll be there? In the flesh?”
“Correct.”
Both of us sit in silence. Shocked silence on my end. He never shows up at anything, not in person. A call-in maybe, or conferencing in by screen. Things must finally be in motion.
I can hear him typing away at his laptop. I can almost see him in his bunker-like set up with a million screens and almost as many food wrappers. “A lot of big players will be there. High profile. Could be a good spot to propose...”
I groan. “Do I have to?”
