‘I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay, Michelle?’ ‘Okay, Bro Montana.’ Brody chuckled. ‘Oh, Mimi. I like you.’ ‘I like you, too. Have a good ni...ht.’ ‘I will. Bye.’ ‘Bye.’ They hung up their phones, and Brody wished tomorrow would hurry its ass up and get here already. ______________________________________________________ Monday came around, and Brody spent most of the day waiting for the clock to get to 5:30 so he could go over to Michelle’s and pick her up. He hadn’t felt this way about someone in. I wasnt entirely shocked she forgot me, again. I finally saw the maroon colored minivan pulling up the road. I opened the door, ready to give her a piece of my mind: reminding her that she does this all this time and that this time I would never forgive her. Hey, Cameron she said with a smile. Hi I got in the car hesitantly. To my surprise, was my Aunt, Jillian– my mothers younger sister. Your mom had something come up at work. She asked me to pick you up 20 minutes ago. Sorry, man. How long. When it was finished, she pulled it over to our dock and tied it."What are you going to do with it Dani?" I asked."Well, when Herb finishes my island, Rubi and I are going to live in it." What island?" Levy, Herb had to dump the sand he hauled from dredging, for the new dock, somewhere, so I showed him a place that was close by." Well that was mighty sweet of you Dani. I hope he appreciates it." He does. He gave us a big discount on our pilings, fence, and tree house, so we told him he could. ”I nodded along before asking what was really on my mind, “So, we run, right? I mean, we can’t really take on such monstrosity with just two people, right?”Frank bit back a laugh as he replied, “Believe me when I say this, David, that’s one of the cannon fodders of this world. Just because it has grown in size doesn’t mean that the fact it is weak is any less true.”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! “What do you mean its cannon fodder? I heard the panic in your voice when you told me to.
