Chapter 35: Mike's Phone Call

A long time later after dinner...

Mike walked to the phone with Caitlin trailing behind him. He turned around when he came to the phone near the dining room and looked into Caitlin's sapphire eyes directly.

"This is going to take a while, and I have it all figured out."

"Really?" Caitlin looked down at the ground.

"Yes, and you shall see." Mike picked up the phone and dialed the clubhouse's number. It rang loudly (well, let's just say that Caitlin could hear it) until Boss answered.

"Hamha?"

"Say something else for once."

"Mike?"

"Yes, who else?"

"Well, I was hoping that the pizza man-"

"I'm not on the phone with you to talk about the pizza man. I'm here to talk to you about Caitlin."

"...What do you know about her?"

"Well, you didn't hear about 'the bet', did you?"

"What the crap?"

"Hamtaro bet Caitlin and her two friends something... I forgot what... He'll deny you if you ask him if he bet them. Well, he won, and they now are finishing up their week with us."

"HUH?!! HOW COME NO ONE-"

"Shut up! Listen. In two days, come to Hamster City Police Station about one in the afternoon. I'll send them to you."

"Uh, okay... You haven't-"

"No. I personally like your wife."

"Shit... Shut up."

"No, you shut up. She's a nice gallie. And I heard you yelling at her LAST night... ... ...A denial?"

"What-"

"No questions. Do you deny that?"

"Yes, I-"

"You can't deny it. I told her to make up a story that she worked for me, and you responded by yelling at her. What a poor husband YOU are. Now why did you yell at her?"

"I got mad-"

"Tough shit if you got mad. Now in two days, I want you to apologize FULLY. If you don't, I'll return." Mike slammed down the corded phone and turned back around toward Caitlin. "Job done. Now believe I can do anything?"

"...Yes, I do." Caitlin nodded.

"Ha ha, I'm so great..."

"So now what?"

"Tomorrow comes."

"What happens tomorrow?"

"You'll see..." Mike laughed his signature laugh as he walked away down the dark hallway.

"...Sometimes, he amazes me very easily." Caitlin blushed admiringly as she walked down the hallway the other way.
