Chapter 2: Setting Up The Meeting
"What?", Dave question after his brother told him that he just had an encounter with their long 'lost' father. Dirk told him everything. How their dad was always caught up in work, but always sent money to them. He told Dave that he could never contact them because he didn't know their number, and that he realized something was wrong when we got the checks back in the mail. He said that their dad had no idea that their mother had died in a car accident. And that when he finally did find out that he put all his spare time into finding him. But after no luck, he ended up hiring a private investigator to track him down. And after three long years, he had finally found him.
"Are you sure that it's him?" "It has to be. Who else would know all that stuff about Mom AND have her exact same picture?", Dirk said as he drove home from picking up Dave from school.
"Well, what else did he say?", Dave couldn't help but ask. "He said that he could never forgive himself for missing out in our lives and not being there for us. He said that even though he couldn't be in my life growing up, that he would like to be in yours. And he'd said he'd like to meet us some time. What do you say Little Man?"
Dave really didn't know what to think. He didn't know if he wanted to meet this man in person or not. It all just seemed to happen a little fast to him. First this guy just pops up and says that he's their father and during the same conversation he says that he wants to meet with them. It all just seemed kinda iffy to Dave.
'But on the other hand; what if this guy really is dad? I mean, if he is then he certainly had a right to see his sons. Hell, he must be to convince Bro. Maybe I should give this guy a chance.' "I wanna see him; BUT, I wanna make sure that he's the real deal before we agree to meet with this guy.", Dave told his bro. "Sounds like a plan, Little Man."

tT: hey dad, ya there?
SS: Why hello Son! Good to hear from you again! Did you get to talk to David?
tT: I did. He said he wanted to meet with you.
SS: That's wonderful! I can't wait to meet you both!
tT: BUT, he said that he wanted to make sure that you were the real deal.
SS: Ahh, a very inspective young man isn't he? He must get that from me.
Dirk laughed a bit.
tT: yeah, he is. We're at home now, incase you want to talk with him.
SS: Oh course! I'd love to!
tT: okay, I told him to log on.
Dirk hollers to Dave in the other room. "Hey Little Man, log onto your computer. Dad wants to talk to you." "Okay.", Dave hollers back.
"TurntechGodhead joins the conversation between SoulSearcher and timaeusTestified"
tT: Dave, this is dad, dad this is Dave.
TG: hello?
SS: David?
TG: Yes?
SS: Hello David! How are you?
TG: Good, can't complain. How are you?
SS: I'm doing fine Son, thanks for asking.
SS: Your brother told me so much about you!
TG: whoa whoa whoa, hold up.
TG: before we start the dialog, I've gotta few questions for you 'dad'.
SS: Okay, ask away.
TG: first question, what's our mom's birthday?
SS: June 21, the official first day of Summer. June 21, 1960 to be exact.
TG: okay, next question.
TG: what was her favorite color?
SS: Yellow, she said it reminded her of the sun and it's light that it gave to all creatures.
Okay, so far so good. But Dave still had one more question to ask. Something that truly only their REAL dad would know.
TG: okay, so far so good. But I've got one more question for ya. This is something only our REAL dad would know.
TG: mom had a locket that she told my Bro that it was from the man who stole her heart. What was inscribed in that locket?
That was a question that not even Dirk knew. If he could answer this, then there was no doubt about it, Derrick really was their biological father.
SS: Inside that locket, I had inscribed 'In my heart, always and forever'. I believe she told me she put a picture of us and your brother in it.
Yep, now there was no doubt about it. Derrick was Dirk and Dave's biological father.
TG: wow. You, you really are our father aren't you?
SS: I've been searching so long David. And now that I've finally found you both, won't you let me into your lives?
tT: what'd say Little Man?
TG: well, the man is our dad after all. I say we give him a chance Bro.
SS: OH THAT'S WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for allowing me to be apart of your loves after all these years!
TG: np Dad.
SS: I can't wait to finally meet you David! Both you and your brother!
TG: PLEASE, call me Dave. Whenever I hear my first name being called, I always think that I'm in trouble.
SS: Haha, okay Dave. Are you a trouble maker?
TG: eh, not too much. Bro told me that if he ever had to go and pick me up from jail that he was gonna kick my ass every day, everytime he thought about it. And Bro doesn't joke around.
tT: yeah and you better remember that too!
All three laughed on their ends.
SS: So Dave, how was school?
TG: oh you mean the 6th layer of hell? Good I guess. Same thing different day. Wake up at an ungodly hour in the morning, fight to stay wake all day, get yelled at by teachers, and showing the other kids who's boss.
SS: Do you get good grades?
TG: mostly Bs. The teachers say I could get As if I try hard enough.
SS: You need to aim for those As Dave. A little effort now will get you a long way later in life.
TG: yeah, I know.
SS: I'll tell you what; if you promise to do your best, and get mostly As from now on. On your 16th birthday, I'll get you any car you want. How does that sound?
TG: hhmmmm, any car I want you say?
SS: Any car.
TG: challenge accepted. You're on old man!
SS: Haha atta boy!
tT: yeah, we'll see how long that lasts.
SS: Ah come on Dirk, have faith in your little brother. I believe he can do it.
tT: again, we'll see now long that lasts.
TG: you just wait and see Bro! Dad, on my 16th birthday you better be ready to pony up!
SS: Haha, that's my boy!
SS: Oh no. Boys I am so sorry, but I'm gonna have to let you two go. I just got called to an important business meeting.
TG: oh okay, It was great talking with you dad!
tT: yeah same here.
SS: The pleasure is all mine boys!
SS: Hey, I'm taking next week off. How about I come and see you boys? I know it'll be much easier for me to come and visit you two than it would be for you to come and visit me. How does that sound?
tT: that sounds good, I've got nothing planned for next week. What about you Dave?
TG: yeah, next week is good.
SS: Wonderful! How does next Monday sound at about 4'o clock at your place?
tT: sounds good.
SS: Okay well I will see you both next Monday at 4'o clock.
tT: okay, sounds good. See ya later dad.
TG: bye dad!
SS: Goodbye boys!

tT: hey Dave, you gone hold up? You really gonna do your best and get those As?
TG: I'm gonna try.
tT: good.
tT: hey Dave, how did you know that mom's locket was inscribed?
TG: I didn't, I figured that if it was, than only our real dad would know.
tT: I like the way you think Little Man. Good job.
TG: thanks

"Well, ready or not, here he comes.", Dirk said leaning back in his chair.
