Why Change? (Straight furry story)

14. The Message

After my arm recovered and got my pilots licence, there was one message, from the Royal Autralian Air Force, it said, 

Carl Doe, We are sending you this email from great suspicion of your recent applications, we would like to request an interview with you. If you agree to this, please send an email back stating when you think you will be free. 

Thanks, 

Warrant Officer Lanchester,

I showed the email to Mr Amber, he stroked his imaginary beard and said "well, I think that their 'great suspicion' is saying that your activity may look like a terror threat, what have you signed up for recently?" 

"my most recent is my plane licence, and before that, I got my gun licence" I said

"well, I think you should" he said

I started Drafting the email right away,

Dear Warrant Officer Lanchester, 

I am free in three weeks, for three weeks, as the school will be over. 

Regards, Carl Doe

And I sent it, two weeks went by and I got a reply from him,

Carl, we look forward to meeting you at RAAF base Amberly QLD

I did checkups on my motorbike daily, as I would need it. I told Vexera I would be away for the entire holiday, and she said "wait, when is your birthday?" I looked at her and she looked like she wanted to know, "August 11" I said, she then said "Happy Birthday anyway" and held out a box. "Open it" she said exitedly, I opened it and saw the T1, which was a phone, touch screen, 2.2 MP camera and 128 GB of storage. "I... I don't know what to say..." I said, she smiled and said "well, Thank you so very much, now I dont have to use buttons anymore, would really be a start", we both laughed and she said "no, really, I love you" I opened the box and repeated "I will not be here for the holidays, something came up, and I need to leave, tomorrow". She frowned and said "what came up? Where are you going? how are you going to get there" I then replied with "The RAAF emailed me and asked me to go to Queensland, so I am leaving on my motorbike tomorrow" I then realised that I needed someone to look after Alpyne, so I called Kennedy on my new phone, "yeah, I can look after Alpyne for a while, he is pretty easygoing, so yeah" the day ended and Vexera said "Goodbye Carl, I will miss you, DON'T FORGET TO CALL ME." I left for my house, put on my helmet, put the protective padding on, packed everything I needed for the trip into the compartments that were on the back of my bike, I waved goodbye to everyone I knew. I got on to my bike, shoved the kickstarter down until the engine fired up. I was ready for the 3,384 kilometre journey, I accelerated down my street, with my phone telling me where to go.
