The Favourite Brother: Complex Edition

The retired officer

Chapter 9:

---

Thomas ended up bringing a truck instead of a jeep to carry all of them to the garages. It was 1:30 pm, and for sure the guy would be coming right here, right now.

Ray rides on the front seat, with Thomas obviously the one driving. He could hear the commotion at the back of David singing a sea shanty, and the men all joining making one good symphony. It was the song about a guy, who was drafted, and cheated on his wife, who had to cross dress to meet him, and said wife ended up killing him. Ray forgot the name of the shanty. Though, one particular voice stands out—being both bold, and being pitched really greatly.

After a forty five second drive, they made it to the strip garage, where they parked their truck at the parking lot...next to the strip garage. There's a rich looking sports car just by the other side – someone who owns that must be very rich.

Ray was the first to go out, up comes next was Thomas, and the men from behind letting David and Javier out...got out next. At the strip garage, are all the women of the Sensha-Dō team idling and chatting at either around their newly repaired behemoths, or on top of them. They rushed around the chain-link fence, and by sheer instinct, Ray saluted Anzu...he still hates her by the way.

Anzu: "At ease, soldier. Thanks, Thomas."

Thomas: "Yeah, whatever."

Anzu: "Now, I have no idea what you were doing the past hour, but, while you were gone, they put the finishing internal repairs on the 38. Not sure how they managed to do so in under an hour, but, I'm impressed. Really I am!"

Ray: "Acknowledged. So you want my opinions on it?"

Anzu: "Well, of course I do! But for now... Who are these guys?"

*Anzu then gestures to David and Javier from behind Ray. David and Javier then went to stand beside Ray, the same time Momo and Yuzu – the name of the ponytail haired girl – went to Anzu's side.*

David: "I'm Admiral David Fagen."

Javier: "I'm Javier! General Javier! General Javier Guevera! General—"

Ray: "That's enough, Javier. We only need one name and rank at a time. Surname, optional, but your entire name?"

Anzu: "Oh... So you must be the guys that... Huh... What a coincidence, now I don't have to do the same to you fellas. Eases my workload. Thanks a bunch, Ray!"

David: "What was that?"

Momo: "Hey, aren't you supposed to be in the Naval Studies Department?"

David: "I was, but, they let me hang around here."

Javier: "No one tried to apprehend him at those days."

David: "If no one is enforcing a law, is it really a law?"

Anzu: "I don't know; is cereal a soup?"

Ray: "Is ketchup a smoothie?"

Anzu: "How did they build this massive carrier without depleting most of our resources?...several I might add."

Ray: "How is there a 'D' in 'fridge', but not in 'refrigerator'?"

Momo: "Shut up! I have enough shower thoughts this day! Look, Ray, and you two Generals, just come right over here, and then we can discuss more important matters."
