The Grandfather of the Reunion

Prologue 3-1

A quick expedition

Starting major memory playback with: Memory of certain day

[Hosea didn't waste time hauling the essential stuff on his motorbike's saddle carriages, and baggage handler. He fuels it up nice, make sure the tire pressure is correct, and makes a mental map of where his cabin may be. Gordon was the first to be concerned about Hosea's jitteriness, and eagerness to clean his bike.]

Gordon: "You're going somewhere?"

Hosea: "Yeah... I'm gonna find my uncle's cabin. I know it's somewhere around here, I just got to find it. It may take me a couple of hours, or days, but I will return."

Gordon: "Uhuh... Stay safe out there, should I say this to Talulah?"

Hosea: "No, I'll say it myself. Hey, how are you and Lyudmila?"

Gordon: "Well, she's...we talked about why she was...extremely worried about my wellbeing, and... I honestly didn't think she'd missed me that much. Of course, two whole years of not seeing your best friend, can take a whole lot out of you. AJ was right, she did think I was dead. Her...father's fate sort of...sparked this obsession, and undying fit of loyalty. I'm...afraid, to be honest."

*Hosea stops fixing his bike to attend to Gordon's emotional needs. He walks close to him and pats him on the shoulder.*

Hosea: "At least you two really care for each other. I advise you focus on your relationship, because it's better to have one loyal best friend, than a lot."

Gordon: "I know. I am getting personal with these folk, hell, I see Mephisto in a brighter light now. Brighter than his skin. But I'm...concerned myself, knowing she acted like a maniac without me. Anyways, I won't disturb you, Hosea, I'm gonna go back to the pond now."

Hosea: "Pond? You're going fishing?"

Gordon: "Well, yes. On my way to the hunter's lodge, but I saw you."

Hosea: *He nods and thins his lips, he then pats him once more.* "I'll see you soon."

Gordon: "Yyyep..."

[Gordon then walks back to the lodge, leaving Hosea behind to put the finishing touches on his supplies he'll be bringing for his expedition. He didn't bring a lot of guns, the camp needs them more than he does, besides, he focuses on hand-to-hand close-quarters combat.]

[He deduced the motorcycle is primed for driving through the wilderness, and in doing so, he goes to find Talulah to get permitted on his adventure.]

[Surprisingly, he didn't find her on the tent just outside the bus, where she's usually located, either reading a book or reflecting. That until she shouted from atop the bus.]

Talulah: "Up here, Mahatma!"

Hosea: "Huh? Now how'd you get up there?"

Talulah: "I used the ladders on the back of the bus. Never have I known that the view is scenic from up here. Now, I assume you want to ask me of something?"

Hosea: "Well...of course."

Talulah: "Then let me get down there."

*Talulah then vaults down from the bus, by hanging in to the roof, and dropping down safely, she then addresses Hosea, to answer his question.*

Talulah: "Well?"

Hosea: "Look, I'm...gonna be going away for a few days. Not going back to the city, it's too dangerous now. I have to look for something."
