Weeks earlier…
Jake, slamming his drink on the table; Ah, now his, is the best drink out there.
Tom sitting at a mini bar; Golden hour soda, you know too much of that is bad for you right?
Jake; common, you been living here for 2 weeks now, you should learn to lighten up a bit.
Loyalty model REM No. 322121 (aka Sophia); would you like another one master?
Jake; no Sophia I think that's enough.
Sophia; would you like anything else?
Jake; I'm having a meeting with a friend later, so go clean up my room.
Sophia; Anything you say dear Jacob.
Tom; did you get her recently?
Jake; no, we always had her, the issue is I had to hide her from time to time whenever Nino was around.
Tom; so, did you make up with her?
Jake; …
Tom, who just noticed that Jake's face sunk; I see.
Tom then grabbed a glass and drank form it.
Jake; it's complicated.
Tom; …
Jake; everything was coming so smoothly, but then she found out Linda…
Tom then spats out his drink and then began coughing when he heard that name.
Tom; sorry, but did you just say Linda? As in that Linda?
Jake; …
Tom; oh, I see.
Tom then burst out laughing.
Tom; so, you mean that made up girlfriend you had in middle school is still causing you problems until now?
Jake; shut up!
Tom; Hey C! K! get a load of this.
C and K; yes Master Tom.
Tom; get this, so when Jake was in middle school, he couldn't get any girls because he was a pervert.
Jake; I was not!
Tom; so, one day, he got a body pillow and took it out to prom and then yelled, EVEN IF SHE'S NOT REAL, SHE'S MORE REAL THAN EVERY SINGLE GIRL HERE!"
Jake; I drank some wine before that, so I wasn't myself.
C; wow.
K; our master suffered so much, it brings tears to our eyes.
Tom; so, after that, not a single person would dare go anywhere near him except my brother, who respected him regardless.
C; I see.
Tom; you know what the worst part is? That Linda who's causing Jake all this trouble, was the same pillow!
C and K both held their mouths as hard as they could while chuckling a bit.
Jake; is there something funny boys?
C; of course not master.
K; Master Tom, may we be excused?
Tom; of course you can!
The two of them ran down stairs.
Jake; so, what do I do now?
Tom; how exactly did it go?
...
Jake; I'm back.
Nino, with a photo in her hand; Darling, who's Linda?
One embarrassing explanation later…
Jake; so that's it.
Nino; why did you keep this from me?
Jake; it's because, I thought you'd never respect me again if I told you.
Nino then looked at the photo, it was a picture of Jake and Linda at the prom with writing on it that said, Better than any woman!
Nino; I need some air.
She then began to leave the room.
Jake; wait, where are you going?
Nino; to somewhere I can be trusted.
*Slam*
Tom; I see, any progress so far?
Jake; none past the talking stage, and I'm even lucky I have that to be honest.
Tom while drinking from his glass; I see.
I guess we single men godda stick together
Jake; did you tell Aki about Rose yet?
Tom; Aki doesn't take these kinds of things very well; he was so crushed after his pet dog died that he didn't come to school for weeks.
Jake; It's a real shame. The thing about that dog is, it would be more loyal any bitch.
Tom; I guess.
Let's toast, to the single men.
Jake; …
To the single men.
*clang*
October 20th
Tom was standing in front of a small house in an area with not much housing and a lot of vegetation as the wind blew against his face.
Tom; *sigh*
*knock*knock*
A deep voice; Who are you?
Tom; Hi, my name is Thomas Wilson, 3 years ago I saved your daughter from a plane crash.
?; …
Tom; Hello?
The door then opened, and there was a 13-year-old girl standing there.
Tom; Jessie? You're the one making that voice? And look at you, you've changed a lot since…
Before Tom could finish that sentence, he experienced extreme pain from his genitals as Jessie's foot began leaving his groin. He then fell to the floor in agony.
Jessie; why didn't you call me?
Tom, while wailing in agony; yeah, I deserved that.
A few minutes later, Tom was holding a bag of ice on his groin while sitting on the couch.
Jessie while holding a small tray; care for some tea?
Tom; I'll pass.
So, where's your dad?
Jessie; he's out hunting.
Tom; so, what have you been doing all these years?
Jessie;…
At that moment, Jessie's face tightened.
Tom; OK, I never mind. You don't need to say anything you don't want to.
*knock*knock*
Jessie then went to open the door, where she saw a young man in a red jacket and blue trousers.
Jake; Sorry to intrude, but I just couldn't take it anymore. So much blabbing it's making me sick.
Oh, hey Jess, long time no see.
Jessie; Jake?
Jake; the one and only, by the way how's it been?
Jessie; What are you doing here.
Jake; I'm here to do what this yapper here wont. Get to the point.
Jessie; and what is that?
Jake; we have reason to believe there are terrorists in this area.
Jessie; you mean…
Jake; yes, we have reason to believe the speedsters may be somewhere here.
