I Have No Excuse

Untitled Part 38

I was exhausted. This sucked.

"I told you that you were going to hate yourself this morning."

"Shut up, Blaster. It was serious."

"I know, I know. We'll have to give the facility a bit of a heads up on what's going on. But we have to making it believable. Running in there and saying that your parents are out to get you and are working with a guy who you assume is evil or whatever and are going to destroy the ocean and the mers or something isn't going to go over well."

"I wasn't going to say that."

"Of course you weren't. No offense, but you get a little ahead of yourself when you're emotionally invested in something. You don't think over what you say before you say it. I suggest we tell them something they already know and back it up. Like how Shane and his boss are interested in the mers. They are probably going to want to study them, especially Prowl with what he's shown us so far and see where that goes."

"Great. But how do we protect Prowl by telling them that?"

"How would we protect Prowl by making all of them think we're crazy until the last second?"

"Touche."

"So are you going to unglue your head from the table and come to work?"

"Yeah. Might as well be now or I'm not going to be able to convince myself to get up again at all."

I forced myself up and followed my friend out. He was at least in a much better mood this morning. Not thrilled to get up, but he wasn't looking like he wanted to rip my head off.

"Want to ride with me? Na you should come with me. Don't want you passing out at the wheel or something. We don't need to pay for any medical care right now. Savings or no we have a new game to pay for in like a month and I would rather have a nice amount of cash to be able to cushion the blow afterwards."

"Good to know I mean so much to ya. I can feel the love in every word ya say." I responded dryly as I entered the vehicle.

"I know. I am just so generous and amazing. Anyway back to the topic at hand. Let me do the talking when we get there ok?"

"Fine. I get it you think I'm a nutcase."

"Not I think. You Sound like a nutcase. Well I suppose you being a nutcase is pretty accurate." He made a show of thinking to himself and I made a very exaggerated noise of annoyance.

"How did you word it last night? I don't have time to deal with your crazy who knows what driven ideas right now?"

"Says the nutcase."

"That's what I was thinking last night."

"Uh no. You weren't thinking at all last night. When you came in at one in the morning and decided to wake me up. I mean what did you think was going to happen?" He asked and I answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Um us going off and saving Prowl and destroying evil. Duh."

"Destroying evil... Right..."

"Shut up, Blaster. I can hear ya insulting me."

"I didn't say anything."

"Ya didn't need to."

"I guess it's just You and Me now, Prowl."

I sighed as I leaned on the tank. Prowl was peeking out of his own nest to make eye contact with me, but once He came in he was going to disappear in his neighbor's nest until the next morning. He was always looking for him now. Always watching and on edge. Blaster was doing the talking and sent me away just to make sure I wouldn't say anything stupid. But what could I possibly say that wouldn't make any sense or put them off? Ok bad question.
