“Me and Kangaroo Man should go.” You suggest to Mama Bodil. “It’d be riskier if anyone else does it.”
“I’m listening…” Mama Bodil does sound disappointed that she won’t go.
“Me?” Kangaroo Man wasn’t expecting to be considered for this.
“You want to arrange a meeting you won’t attend?” Eddie finds this odd.
“It is odd, but not unheard of. Every higher-up has a secretary.” Kangaroo Man doesn’t see the big issue. “I assure you that your trust won’t be misplaced if you decide for me to go. We all are raring for the same objective.” He doesn’t know where the documents are and fails to point at them. This endears him to Mama, who now turns to you.
“Kid, you’re always a little more ballsier than I believe.” Mama Bodil grins at you. “Are you sure you’re not overextending yourself? Mama doesn’t want to worry.” Her boastful self gets serious.
“It’s just a meeting.” You shrug.
“Fine, you’re on. We’ll be around in case another disaster happens.” Mama Bodil won’t negotiate on this.
“The boss has a bad hunch, that’s not good.” Eddie is lamenting something that hasn’t happened.
“Shut it. It’s a bad omen to say it out loud.” Mama Bodil gets grumpy with her subordinate.
“I don’t believe in hunches, but people tend to tell me that I’m a lucky bastard. And the same people say that luck tends to rub on others.” Kangaroo Man tries to help ease her worries. “We’ll stick together.”
“Thanks, Kangaroo Man.” You nod.
“So, at what point are you going to ask me my name?” Kangaroo Man is tired of waiting.
“Just your codename is enough. Let’s go!” Mama Bodil demands Eddie to drive you forward.
In what feels like no time, you arrive at the Channel 11 TV Station. During the trip, Kangaroo Man booked a meeting with the weasel reporter, it wasn’t a quick thing to do, but he got it done. Sadly, that kept everyone from talking about anything. You’re enjoying the company of the rest of the family, and Vera, even if she’s asleep. It’s time for you to leave the car.
“We’ll keep your girlfriend safe.” Mama Bodil smacks you on the back as you go. “I take care of my family, and you’re part of it. I know you know, but I know you need to hear it again. Now go.”
“Thanks, Mama Bodil.” You pat Vera’s head before leaving as a sign of good fortune. With the documents in your hands, it’s time for the meeting.
This is your first time at a TV station, you were expecting more than one building, but it’s just a big tower in the middle of the city. It looks fairly ordinary for a modern office space, the logo of the station is everywhere, from the walls, to the workers’ uniforms, the cameras, and even the flowerpots! You feel like they’re there to cover up something instead of being a conscious decision to brand it all.
