Chapter 41 - Directions Please

Weird now named Gunn was given a bone mike to wear that he can only remove when he is going on missions. He had to sign a lot of papers but he was getting the love he was hoping for. His brothers came by and we partied like we had been friends for years. I got a call from POTUS saying that he would like me to test some of the gadgets that I have made for his security live in a rescue mission done by the Marines.

I woke up early morning and got ready to go. My family dropped me off and wished me well. Gunn and his three brothers accompanied me. The SecDef was kind enough to tell everyone the rules. Whatever was in my bag is something designed to protect POTUS and I am just field testing it. This was an unusual incident but since the president ordered it they went along. As soon as the plane took off one of the men approached me. He tried to sit next to me but Gunn politely pulled him out of the way and sat next to me. Adam sat on the other side. The soldier sat in front to get my attention and I looked up and smiled, "Can I help you?" He grinned, "You probably don't remember me but I was one of the people you rescued a few years back from a POW camp. I was bleeding and one of the people accompanying you said that I was a hopeless case I am as good as dead. You said my fate will be the same as yours. You operated on me and saved me by the grace of God." I blushed, "You said your name was Kevin" he smiled, "You remember me?" I nod my head, "I only done roadside surgery thrice so I would remember you." He nods his head, "I promise to bring you home safely." I thanked him and went back to typing vigorously. Gunn tapped me on the shoulder, "Do you ever stop working?" I shrugged, "I am typing orders my assistants are supposed to execute and my family is supposed to take care of. Each day a new problem arises and it takes delicate handling. I am the head of the company so my approval is required and also amendments must be made." The phone rang, "Hey Hattie had an episode. She tried to use a knife." I almost jumped out of my skin, "Where is she? Put her on." Dash said crisply, "Edge took care of it." I lowered my head in thanks. Ems grabbed the phone, "I reset the clock. She was doing so well. No incidents for three years and Angie had to show up and make things worse." I growled, "Call your security and throw her out. You have a restraining order on Angie remember. Use it and remove her right now." Ems bawled, "When Hattie took the knife she left. Edge walked up and asked her for the knife and she hesitated but she finally gave it up. What should we do?" I pinched my nose, "Put Sembi on the phone." He answered scared, "Yes Mini Mom. What should I do? What can I do?" I smiled, "Tell her you are taking her to her favorite pastry place for chocolate tartlets. Here are the directions. Write them and make sure you take Hattie. The wind in her face will do wonders for her." It sounded like he turned the whole house upside down before he opted for his phone. I massaged my head and began, "Remember where Lena broke the heel of her first red Louis Vitton? When you get there turn right and take the second left till you see where Sasha punched her first boyfriend. Then go and right and straight till you see where Edge crashed his first Ducati. When you see it take the immediate right and go till you see a Billboard of a man holding a Burger. Turn left and drive till you see the spot where my Mc Laren had a flat tyre take the third left and stop near the purple fire hydrant. You will see a place called Ashley's Treat House, you are there. Go in and ask for Bittersweet Chocolate tartlets. Remember that is her favorite. No matter how depressed she is these will cheer her up" Sembi thanked me and hung up.

Gunn and his brothers had a weird face, "Couldn't you just say the corner of Franklin D Roosevelt and Pinecrest or something. That was the weirdest direction I have ever heard in my life." I shook my head, "Sembi can't read a map. This is the only way you can give him directions. If you say it any other way he will empty the tank and still won't be able to find the place." He chuckled, "Your family is quirky" I shrugged, "No one thinks the same. What you think is weird might be normal for me and vise versa."
