It was night now, and I ended up back at the apartment. Abby kept looking at me like I did something dirty and disgusting while I was outside…
I sat on the couch. I spoke, "Why are you looking at me like that? I swear I have done nothing, ok?" And on the other hand, Abby doesn't believe Leo for a second! Abby notices a little something red on the end of Leo's lips... well, it was some ketchup because Leo ate a hotdog before, but to Abby it looks like Leo has been doing something else...
And Abby mutters in a grumpy tone, "Liar! Whatever you did is all over your face! And also keep hiding your little secrets; don't worry, I'll find out!" Then with a huff, Abby turns on the TV and presses the one button, and with an amused smile on my face, I grab the TV remote, and then I change it to news, and Abby looks at me like she was going to fight, and I speak casually, "What? Want to fight or something?? Sis? You know I just now got the remote, but you had it the whole day," and I smile smugly, and Abby grabs the nearby towel and starts to try to whip me with the towel! Crazy bitch!
"Hey! Hey! Someone! Call the cops; she is trying to hurt me!" and I act shamelessly like an innocent young boy getting beat up for no reason! I even try to run to the window to scream, but Abby just pulls me and pushes me back onto the couch, and with her hands on her hips, Abby speaks: "Remote now!" I give the remote to Abby, and I act like I got hurt. I was spotless.
And I mutter, "Beating up your own older brother, you meanie? At this rate, you know you'll never get married if you keep doing stuff like this!" and Abby almost looked like she was going to blow up because of my teasing... and then we had an angry, playful dinner where I played dumb some more and ate food with her; it was cozy...
The night goes away like that, and in the morning I wake up and brush my teeth, and I get a text from Ava: "Sir, the game is completed just as you said; it can be played on phones and also on PC." Smiling, I walk to my room and sit down on my metal sofa and speak, "Well, Ava, open up the game. Let me play and see how good this is..."
Half an hour later. "Ok yeah, it's additive like the real Subway Surfers. Ugh, it feels so good playing games after what, almost half a month? Crazy, and also, Ava set the name of this game to 'Subway Surfers' and also published it on the internet and set the prize for $1 for now. Also, could you please open a company and publish it under the name of our company? The name of this company will be, uh... 'Game Freak.'
Yeah, use that as our company name, and also start a bank account under this company's name, and yes, put my name on all of these things, and also make sure to encrypt my info from the public, you know, the normal stuff." And after a few seconds, Ava speaks, "Yes, boss, starting to make a new company... I will be done with everything by the afternoon, boss."
"Yeah? Well, if you are done making a company and a bank account, start publishing the game; don't wait for me, ok? And deal with the company and other small tasks, Ava. I give you the full right from now on to use the internet, but still be careful, and also don't spread yourself, ok?" And after a few seconds, Ava speaks: "Yes, thank you, boss. I will not fail." And after hearing that, I stand up and stretch my body a little, put on my tracksuit, which looks like it was going to rip if I keep wearing it for a few more days, and I start to jog out of my apartment...
But just as Leo walks out, someone behind him also slowly jogs and follows Leo... and after a while, Leo stops because he realizes someone is following him. Leo does not know who they are, but well, Leo was not scared; he keeps casually running to the warehouse, and Leo jogs to the more alley-like roads... and while jogging, Leo gets stopped by a woman. She speaks, "Um, hey, do you know where the bus stop is?"
On the other side, hiding in a bush, Abby sees a woman who does not look bad at all, like she is in her early 30s. Abby sees this woman walk up to Leo and speak to him!! and Abby almost screamed, "Knew it!" Abby quickly jumps out of the bushes and starts to run full speed to Leo! Without giving Leo or the women a chance to speak, Abby jumps between Leo and the women, and Abby looks at the women up and down, and Abby speaks, "So you are the one, huh!" Abby's tone was filled with disgust...
And the woman speaks, "Um, uh, who are you? again? um." And Abby speaks fast: "Don't play dumb, lady! Admit it! You have been wooing my brother, right? Admit it now, and I might give you 2 a chance," and Abby spoke in such a prideful way, like she won or something, and I said, "Hey Abby, I don't know that lady; she was just asking where the bus stop is," and Abby's eyes almost went wide, as if she did not believe Leo!
And then Abby speaks: "You liar, you're still lying! Don't act dumb; you know this lady! I know what you have been doing outside the house; I am not stupid!" And just as Abby was getting annoyed, the woman speaks, "Um, I really don't know this young man. I was just asking for the bus stop, really. Uh, I think you have gotten the wrong person." And after that, the woman walks away, and Abby is left speechless, and Abby looks at Leo, who was holding back his teasing laugh!
And Abby, with a grunt, speaks, "So what? I was wrong today. I won't be wrong always!" You can run, but you can't hide from me! Leo!" After speaking like an evil young master, Abby runs away. She was heading back to the apartment, and I just laughed a little out loud, and I thought, "Oh my god, I thought Shield or something else was after me; it was just my stupid sis! nothing else, haha!" And now in a much better mood, I reach the warehouse...
I walk inside, and well, the first thing I see is Frank inside a boxing ring, and I smile and speak, "Huh, Unc, so it's time for me to learn from you truly, ha! Here I come!" and I jump inside the ring and smile at Frank, and Frank smiles back at me, and before I could say anything, bam! I get slapped, and then Frank throws a kick, and I barely dodge! ...
"What the hell! was that for! I thought you were going to teach me how to fight!" And Frank, slowly cracking his fingers, walks closer to me, and Frank speaks: "You already know how to fight; your body now is not bad either, so now what you need is fighting experience!" And Frank throws fast jabs at my face, and I try to dodge and block them, which I barely end up doing. I still get pushed back, and Frank speaks: "Good, now keep blocking, you idiot! do something else!" And that's how the training went. I got kicked, punched, and yelled at by Frank whenever I tried something new. Frank said it was way too sloppy...
And Frank beats up Leo in all types of ways using boxing, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo, karate, wrestling, combat Hapkido, savate, kung fu, kickboxing, and taekwondo. In fact, Leo gets beat up so badly that at the end, Leo can't even move anymore... Frank learned all of this from the Marine Corps, and while taking a beating, Leo was also sure Frank was still holding back, or Leo was sure he'd be dead by now...
"Ahhh, bullshit, you call that training? Bullshit, you just beat the crap out of me, nothing else!" I speak in an annoyed tone even now. I keep up the stupid kid act, and I try to stand up, but I fail, and Frank speaks, "Sure, kid, and also, I told you to rest, right? It's better for your health," and after a while I pull myself up to stand, and I walk out of the warehouse...
And as I was walking, I thought, "Hmm, he is training me to go and fight against all types of fighting styles, huh? Beating me up is also a way for him to make me familiar with these fighting styles. Frank's teaching style is more walk, then later maybe talk... well, actions always work anyway; talk is cheap. Smart people know that much. Ugh, fuck my back...." I hold my back and stand in the middle of the road like a middle-aged man... while slowly walking, I have no clue how the Omnitrix's fail-safe did not activate. Maybe because Frank never thought about killing me? I also have to study this failsafe more; I can't put all my hopes in something I don't even understand...
I sit down on a bench outside of a church, and I look at the church and think, "Church? I never went there, even in my past life. Uh, well, that's a lie; my mom used to drag me inside..." And for a few seconds I just look at the church, a hint of longing in my eyes... and then I shake my head, and I look past the church, and I look at the wide sky...
"Don't think about the past; you get stuck in it... Don't think about the future; you worry too much... Just live the movement, live the present, and you will have a true happy life."
My old man used to say that...
('I never believed him, but I never stopped living the way he said to live...')
