''Hello'' an exhausted flannery answered her phone, throwing herself down on her bed.
''Flannery, It's me, Grumpy!'' a gravelly voice answered. Always the same, she thought with a smile to herself.
''Hey gramps. So what's happening tonight then?'' She tried to sound enthusiastic.
''You wouldn't believe me if I told you. the Miltank th-they're...It was Magnemite...Olivine city...It all m-makes sense now!''
Flannery frowned at the poor reception. 'grum...gramps what are you up to exactly? where are you? and who's laughing so hard in the background?'
Cursing the sirens now blaring ever louder, Kabu replied with a quick ''Flannery I have to go, we've been compromised.''
this statement was followed by a peal of uproarious laughter in the background.
''Wait gramps are you okay?''' she asked sitting up now.
''We're fine.'' came a panting kabu's voice.''' I love you very much and we'll rendezvous again tomorrow same time same place. Talk later Kiddo'' and with that her Grumpy grandfather disconnected.
Once again she found herself smiling, although she hoped he was okay. ''At least he has friends with him'', she thought of Nanu and Looker. the only two dumb enough to follow her overly passionate grand father into ''battle'' with big government in a nightly war to stop surveillance.
She had once tried to explain data mining to him which needless to say didn't go down all too well.
lying back down she set the alarm gain, for 5 minutes before 8pm, wondering where the next phone call would come from and what new information it would bring.
