i need to talk to for 10 mins on the phone..I need a favor, like now
(I'm underground, so my cell doesn't work here)
So, I called him up. He's going off at angles, but I finally manage to get out of him:
1) Someone looked him up through an FBI database
2) His dad did "something stupid".
3) He has to get to Ohio, immediately.
This is from someone who, to my knowledge, hasn't spoken to anyone on that side of his family in maybe 20-30 years.
He was being obviously evasive, so I didn't push. He's been out of work for a while, though, and needs my financial help getting there. So now, he's got a one-way ticket to Ohio (he can't tell me, yet, when he'll be ready to come back), and tonight I'm going to give him some pocket money and help him through packing (he hasn't been on a plane in probably 10 years).
Of course I'm curious as to what's got him so frantic, but he'll tell me if/when he's ready. My job right now is to play the "good friend" and help make sure he doesn't fly off (literally) without something critical.
It does mean I'll have the apartment to myself for a few days, though.
Hey, did you know you can fly from LAX to Ohio for less than $400 at the last minute?
