Episode 2 - The Call

"I need you to tag my daughter"

WHOO HOO!!! I WAS DEALING WITH A MORON!!! not just any moron, a rich and most importantly, a rich moron willing to share his fortune with me. He wanted me to tag his daughter for $5000? i was starting to really like this guy.

"How about you come over to my place and I'll tell you more face to face? I'm more comfortable with that," he continued.

Mr... i'ld meet you on the moon if you were paying me $5000.

"No problem. But, two questions before I come over; first, your name sir? and next, why choose AAA?"

"OH! Sorry, i forgot to introduce myself. I'm Justin Twubber."

Did he jus say Justin Twubber? I couldnt believe what he just said. The first man to walk on Mars? And for your info, he wasnt the first man on Mars because he was chosen to be, he was the first man there because he WANTED to be. he PAID the space agencies to send him up to Mars. Dammit. I should have asked him for more than $5k... I let him continue.

"And, i picked AAA because I didnt want those big companies that are only interested in my money and forget about the ethics of the job."

I assumed he meant I was different.

"Plus, AAA was listed as the first name in the telephone directory, so I picked you."

Ah... little did he know that this was part of my brilliant marketing strategy. I personally picked the name AAA for the exact reason he mentioned above. I silently praised my genius and business acumen.

"So, can i expect you here in... half an hours time?"

I didnt need to ask where 'here' was. Everyone knew where Justin (in my mind we were already on a first name basis and he was going to share the rest of his billions with me) lived, in that little palace at the other end of the city. I considered my options. I drove a dusty, rusty collapsible sedan. The time now was 5.13pm, i.e. peak hour. The streets would be jammed and almost impassable. Justin's chateau was located at the other end of the city. Could I make it? No.

"Alright, Mr Twubber. I'll be there."

Hell, he was practically going to give me $5000. If he lived on the edge of the milky way and asked me to meet him in 2 minutes, i'ld make it.

"Thank you. Mann is it? alright, i'll be seeing you soon." the line clicked.

I calmly put down the phone. I walked over to my open window. I leaned out, and then I screamed out, "I'M RICHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" just to let the other losers in the neighbourhood know i had struck gold. After receiving a gratifying "SHUT UP F*CKER!" I grabbed my keys, sprinted down the stairs and began my flight across the city.
