He remembered that he had at some point gotten a response a text from someone. Everett never checked it, he just cleared it the notification went about his day. As he checked what the text was he smiled when saw it was from Nina. He sent one back saying that he needed her help with something really important. The reply came asking where Nina should meet him, and that she'd be where ever that was soon. When class let out, Everett walked out if the building and sebt sent another text to Nina. This one was telling her where he was going to be. When get got to his truck, he pulled out his cell phone and made a phone call to someone he knew could help him. After Jade made the decision to just roam around town(though still staying close to the school so she wasn't late to meet Alicia after her first class), she decided to go to the local cafe about a half of a mile away from the high school. If she's going to be wasting a good forty-five minutes to an hour, might as well get as much caffine as she possible can so she wasn't dead tired by the time she did meet up with that weird best friend of hers. Once she got to the cafe, she chose a table outside of it. She didn't want to be forced to deal with the idiotic people who worked there. All she needed was coffee and the breeze actually felt somewhat comforting. Waiting for her coffee, Jade picked up her phone. She was going to just roam the internet while she waited, but she noticed she was receiving a call. [color-e62020]"Why is Everett calling me? Whatever, might as well answer it,"[/color] Jade said, sighing. She touched her phone and slid the screen over. [color=e62020]"Hey Rett, what's up?"[/color] She said uninterested in what he wanted. "Charmin as always ain't cha Jade. You mind doing me a soild? I need to get up with Mr. C. You know where I can find him? " Everett said equal enthusiasm. Mr C was his name for her uncle Charlie. Everett was fortunate enough to be on good terms with the man. Mr. C had taught Everett a very valuable lesson on there short... Friendship. If you're good to me, I'll be better to you, if your bad I'll be worse. Mr.C was a hard man, but he was fair with Everett. Everett appreciated that. [color=e62020]"You want to find my uncle? For what?"[/color] Jade asked bluntly. "I need his help for some stuff with the memorial service. Just some stuff I can't get that I know he can. You coming to the party at the lodge? " Everett asked as he pressed in the clutch and started his truck. Knowing Jade and Mr. C, where he was, Everett was gonna have to get there quickly. He only hoped Nina would hurry up. [color=e62020]"You do know what he does for a living right?"[/color] What was she saying? Of course Everett knew, [color=e62020]"actually, scratch that. I know you do."[/color] Jade sighed. [color=e62020]"Whatever. I don't know if he's still there, but to my recent knowledge, he's at home. Better hurry, though. He doesn't stay there that long in the morning."[/color] Jade said, telling Everett about where her Uncle Charlie was. As Jade paused briefly, she noticed that her coffee had arrived. She set it down and let it cool off. [color=e62020]"As for your other question, if there's going to be booze, you bet your ass I'm gonna be there."[/color] Jade said with a short chuckle. [color=d86c00]"I'm here. So, what is so important that I had to cut class for?"[/color] Nina was tapping on the window of Everett's truck, looking in and at him. Her hair was all over the place, like she had run at a fast pace to get there. "Why do you think I needed Mr. C Jade. Thanks for the help." Everett didn't say goodbye or wait for a response before hanging up. That's when he rolled down the window and spoke to Nina. "I need some help and your just the person for it. Hop in and I'll tell you about it on the way. " Everett said with a smile. He wasn't gonna say anything he had planned in the parking lot. He was too paranoid for that. Nina seemed to frown a bit, and moved over to the passanger side of the car and opened the door. She got in the truck, and buckled up. [color=d86c00]"I do hope this is worth the trouble I'm gonna get into. I know I said I'd be down to hang out, but... I meant after class."[/color] "Oh don't worry, it won't be at all worth the trouble." Everett said as he leaned off the clutch and on the gas. With Nina in the passenger seat Everett drove to Jades home. He didn't tell Nina that he had just hired her to help get everything done. She was good company and one few people Everett actually got hung out with. Plus it was a good excuse to help her and her family out. When they arrived at Jade's, Everett was happy to see a vehicle in the drive way. With any luck that meant exactly what Everett needed it to mean. That Mr. C was home. "This won't take long." Everett said to Nina as he got out if the truck. The choice to stay or follow was left to her. She seemed to choose to stay in the truck. Everett walked up slowly to the door make sure he didn't do anything could be seen as a threat or dangerous. Pissing Mr. C off as the last thing Everett wanted to do. Everett knocked out the a few times and waited for an answer. [color=996515]"Who is it?[/color] Charlie yelled from within his house. "It's Everett Wilcox Mr. C. I'd like to ask a favor if you don't mind. " Everett said just loud enough to be heard on the other side of the door. [color=996515]"Door's unlocked."[/color] Charlie said loud enough for Everett to hear. [color=d86c00]"You're getting something from Mr. C? Oh Everett... don't tell me..."[/color] Nina had snuck up behind him and was looking at Everett. "Just Crack and hooker and the like. You know light shopping. Everett said when he heard Nina's voice. "Yes sir! Coming in and I for a friend with me." Everett said ad he walked in the house. Nina followed, with a simple shrug, seeming a little resigned. It didn't take Everett long to find Mr. C. He smiled when saw. "Mr. C how are yah?" Everett said with a hand extended. Charlie cracked a smirk at the sight of Everett and Nina.[color=996515]"Nice lady friend you got here"[/color] Charlie smiled. [color=996515]"Ya know, my niece is single too."[/color] Charlie mentioned to Everett. He shook Everett's hand and gestured the two to join him in the living room. It housed three different couches: one was a loveseat(or a couch that had two seats on it), another was a regular couch that could seat three people, and the last one was a recliner. Charlie took a seat on the latter one. Everett couldn't help but laugh. "I like Jade just fine. It's you that gives me pause Mr. C. This is Nina, she's helping me out today." Everett said as he took a seat on the loveseat. Nina silently took the seat next to him and looked between Charlie and Everett. "I'd ask a favor of you. After the service tomorrow we're having a little shindig at the lodge. I'd love it if you'd be there. But after that, me and a few friend are gonna go camping. Hoping you'd help me out with some drinks." Everett said plainly. Mr. C wasn't stupid and there was no reason to beat around the bush about it. [color=996515]"So, you me to fund underage drinking?"[/color] Charlie asked, looking both Nina and Everett in the eyes with an expressionless gaze. It lasted for almost a minute, no doubt giving them all types of anxiety-filled thoughts. After nearly forty seconds, Charlie started busting out in a laugh, probably confusing the two teens in front of him. [color=996515]"I'd be more than thrilled to help you and your friends have a good time."[/color] Charlie told them. Everett smiled and laughed. "Thank you Mr. C. You are my hero." [color=996515]"No need to thank me. I was your age once. I remember how hard it was to get drunk without the cops trying to ruin your good time. I'll handle it. Just make sure to get Jade home in one piece."[/color] Charlie said, his tone of voice suddenly changing from that of a friendly business partner to a father. "I promise." Everett leaned over and pulled out some money and handed it to Mr. C. He didn't want it to be said that he didn't pay his way. "Will you be joining us tomorrow at the lodge? We're having Elk." Charlie took the money from Everett's hand. He started to count it, making sure there was enough. He wa surprised at how much there was. For a high school kid, that was a lot to spend on drinks. Charlie shrugged and pocketed the money. [color=996515]"Yeah, I'll try to. I do love me some good elk."[/color] Charlie laughed. It was known around town that he has been known to gobble up some good elk from time to time. " I can't wait to see you there. I'm sorry we can't stay but, I gotta kill that elk and get it to the fire. Thank you again Mr. C" Everett said as he stood and held his hand extended. If Mr. C was gonna help him, then the least Everett could was get the man some fresh elk. Charlie stood up and shook Everett's hand. Nina smiled and offered a polite thank you to Charlie for letting her in his house as she stood up to leave with Everett. "Thanks again Mr. C. I'll see you soon." He turned and headed out the door, thankful this wasn't the south where it takes two hours to say good bye. As he started the truck, he knew the next stop was gonna be the hunting grounds. He just promised a man elk, and Everett intended to do just that. Nina looked over at Everett as they left Mr. C's house. [color=d86c00]"So, if anyone asks... I'll lie about where I was. However, did you really need my help for this, or did you just want some company, mine specifically?"[/color] Nina looked up at Everett, with a rather curious look. "Oh you think this was it? Sweetie we're just getting started with the hard part. You scared of getting dirty? " Everett said with a smile as they drove away. It Nina seemed to blush at the sweetie comment. [color=d86c00]"I'm not scared of getting dirty at all."[/color] Everett smiled, this was gonna be fun.
