Banded Reunion

Part 3

Dash Hosney entered his apartment in Brooklyn, New York. After years of job changes and traveling he finally decided to settle in New York and do what he loved: being a music teacher at one of the downtown local middle school. He really did like helping people, loved music, and even liked the kids on most days. He felt his phone vibrate through his pocket and took it out and began scrolling through it. He expected it to be from the school, or maybe some of the teachers wanting to get drinks like they did every Tuesday evening. The school had just went on winter break and now he had two weeks off from his job. Two weeks to finish grading papers or go down to see his parents.

But instead he found himself glancing intently at an e-mail from Leo. That was sort of a surprise. They tried to keep in touch, but mainly just saw each other during the holidays due to the traveling costs and their busy schedules. Once summer came he would be back and fourth between here and Chicago like a yo-yo due to best man duties since Leo and Emma were planning a summer wedding.

A grin appeared at the content of the message. Leo was planning a reunion between the red banders back at Ocean Park hospital and since most of their families still lived in Cali, he would have a perfectly valid excuse to go there and visit. He began typing his reply almost immediately after sinking in the details of the message.

Of course I'll be there. Wouldn't miss a chance to see any of the fellow red-banders. A family reunions some would say. :)

It was short and sweet and to the point. He wouldn't admit it; but even now those guys were his true family and he was itching to get all of them together again.

It had been way too long.
