CRUCIBLE OF REJECTION

Chapter 68

Trekker and Trey were practically buzzing with excitement as they held George’s diamond card in their hands. The gleaming piece of luxury was everything they had imagined and more. They exchanged grins, Trekker leaned in close, both of them eager to pull off their prank.

What are you two up to now? You’ve got that look Lucas said.

Hey, Dad. Remember how you own a diamond card and never let us anywhere near it Trey said grinning.

Yeah, we were just talking about how you always keep it under lock when we are around and key it like it’s the Holy Grail or something Trekker said grinning.

I know that tone. What are you two scheming?Did you steal my card, no wait I just used it an hour ago . What games are you playing Lucas said eyeing them suspiciously.

Oh, nothing much. Just thought we’d show you something... Bam! Trey said as he suddenly flashes the diamond card at the camera, and Trekker angled it correctly so Lucas can see the card clearly.

What the—how did you two get your hands on a diamond card?! That’s not yours, is it?Lucas said eyes widening in disbelief.

It is now!  Dad just handed it over to us. Didn’t even blink Trekker said laughing.

George gave you that?! What was he thinking? You two—no, this is exactly why I never let you near mine! Lucas said livid.

Trekker and Trey felt glorious.

Aw, come on, Dad. Don’t be jealous. We’ve finally joined the ultra-elite club! Trey said pouting.

You little brats. You think you’re clever, huh? Wait till I have a word with George. Lucas said.

You know, you could have saved yourself all this trouble if you’d just let us see your card first. Now we’ve gone and upgraded ourselves! Trekker said smiling.

You two are impossible. I can’t believe George let you even touch that thing. And you’re sure you didn’t steal it? Lucas asked.

We’re not criminals, Dad. We’ve been on the right side of the law for a while now. And we are officers what do you take us for Trey said.

I’m going to have to call George and scold him for letting you boys get your hands on something like that. What’s next? You gonna run off and buy a yacht? Lucas asked.

Hmm, not a bad idea. What do you think, Trey? A yacht to match our new card? Trekker asked smirking.

Sounds like a plan. But first, let’s take some pictures with this bad boy. We’ve got to document the moment. Trey said smiling.

You two are going to be the death of me. Just don’t go buying anything crazy, okay? Lucas said.

We’ll think about it Trey said.

This is why you two don't own black cards.bloody George... I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind Lucas said.

I thought you don't talk to dad Trekker said.

Now I do.... send me his number Lucas said and hang up. Trekker and Trey laughed out loud while the entire family just stared at them.

Look at us pranking uncle. I'm so proud of us Trekker said.

I can’t believe we pulled that off and Dad believed us Trey said looking at the card.

And we’ve got the photos and screen shots to prove it. This is one for the books Trekker said.

You two are crazy. Now, how about that tour? Gavin asked rolling his eyes.

That can wait. We’re too busy basking in our victory. Oh yeah I'm sending uncle Lucas, dad's number make sure to put him on speaker dad. Trekker said as he sent the number.
