Part 58: Seattle

Things went well for the next few days. We dropped a short string in Seattle. I was hoping for something else going toward Norway when sure enough, my broker called.

“Have I got a deal for you!” He said. “This is your lucky day. I’ve been looking out for you. There’s a long string going to London. They pay premium but get this, there’s a singleton paying double premium that’s only goes to Minsk. You can drop it off and keep on trucking.”

“Excellent” I said. He was probably holding out on me regarding the rate. I was born at night but not last night. Brokers always do that.

It didn’t matter this time. I wasn’t in the mood to haggle. It wasn’t like I really needed the BitCoins after all. “I’ll take it.”

“Oh..I forgot to tell you” he said.

Here it comes. I thought, never fails.

“It won’t be ready until day after tomorrow.” he sounded apprehensive. He was half expecting me to blow up in his face.

“That’s ok.” I said. It’ll give me time to take in some sights.

“Great!” he sounded relived. “I’ll set it up then.”

I turned to Bubba and Maverick. ”How bout we go to the zoo?”

“Meowwwwr….! “ Bubba replied..he always liked to visit zoo’s. I think he liked to watch people watch animals.

“Hooot? Squiggle! “ Maverick said. I’d take that for a yes.
