Bob whistled as he stood by the register. Friday was always a good day for the restaurant. It was just a day where more people wanted burgers. He observed the restaurant, which was empty save for a couple eating in the far corner, and quickly took a profit count. Yup, a good day. Then the phone rang. "Bobs burgers." "Bob it's Reggie. Is your wife there right now?" The voice on the other end asked. "Uh, no?" Bob said. "I'm coming in." Reggie said, walking in on the phone. Bob rolled his eyes and hung up. "What Reggie?" "Is Louise here?" The young boy asked. "No, I think she stayed after school for something." Reggie shrugged. "Alright, imma go home. Tell her I was looking for her when she she gets back." Reggie said, heading out. "I will." Bob said.
Half an hour later, Reggie walked into his room. "Good to be home." He said, flopping down on his bed, and he heard something crunch under his back. "The fuck?" Reggie mumbled, rolling over and pulling a piece of paper out from under him. He unfolded it and read the scribbles. "Dear Reggie, Happy 1 month anniversary! Come to the ferry at 8:15 for a special surprise. From Louise." Reggie raised an eyebrow. It hadn't been a month yet. He knew that because he had lined up Louise's gift for 3 days from now. So this was sketchy at best. But if this was just Louise being early, he would look dumb if he didn't show up. Reggie sighed. "Dad! What do I wear to get an anniversary gift?" Downstairs, Curtis thought. "Your Miggy jersey and jeans with no holes. And good kicks." Reggie nodded and headed for the docks.
"Heeeeelllpppp!" Louise yelled, straining against the ropes. She had to save Reggie from that psycho! Finally, the door opened and Mr. Branca wandered down. "Mr. Branca!" Louise yelled. "Tiny Tina!" The janitor said. "That's not my name, now help me!" Louise pleaded. Branca obliged and untied her. "Why were you tied to my boiler?" He asked. "NO TIME!" Louise yelled, flat out sprinting for the dock. Branca shrugged. "Have fun! In my country, we used to tie girls we liked to horses. And if she came back with the horse, we could marry her. Mine sold the horse and walked back. She was the best." He smiled.
Louise burst out of the school and looked at her phone. 8:12. "I'll never make it!" Louise yelled, then noticed Taboos massive figure talking up Jocelyn. "TABOO!" Louise yelled, running over and dragging him to the side walk. "What?" "I have to get to the dock right now! You played varsity QB right?" Louise asked frantically. Taboo nodded. The small girl shoved herself into his hand. "It's 40 yards straight downfield. Go!" Taboo shrugged, reared back, and straight up threw Louise like a football. "YES!" The girl screamed as she cleared the town easily. Jocelyn whistled. "Good throw. Taboo smirked and flexed.
