24) Hump Radio

-Hump, you there? Hump, come back. C’mon man tell me you’re listening tonight. Hump! Tune in, buddy.

-…

-Hump, this is Chuck, man I’m in a world of shit, come back, man!

-Chuck? Is that really you? What the hell, where the hell have you been? Where’s ______? What the hell is going on? The hospital gave us the run around, and you guys just disappeared and what the hell, where are you?

-Long story, man. Listen I’ll tell you everything later, right now I need to get away from where I am and get to a safe place, you know what I mean?

-…

-Hump, do you know what I mean?

-…I know, I thought, I mean, you’re serious. It always seemed like you know…you’re serious?

-Shit yeah, the fuck you think I was pouring piss in your boot all this time?

-No, I mean, fuck, should I get in touch with Ericbuddyintheclub?

-Not yet, later. Thing is I need to meet you there, I need you to get me some things, and I need information.

-This is, like, dangerous, isn’t it?

-Yeah, bro, sorry but it is.

-…Dude I have a wife.

-I know I’m sorry, but it’s not just me, our friend and mentor, man, I don’t know. How deep a search can you do?

-Pretty deep, don’t you think whoever is after you is monitoring this channel?

-I’m sure of it. They’re probably on their way to me now, but I can handle it. Take your wife on a little vacation someplace safe, bring the waterproof trunk I stored in your shed. I’ll see you there. Leave soon, before they can get a search started.

-So that’s it, my life is ruined and now I’m on the run?

-Think of it as doing something heroic to save your friends.

-Fuck, alright, I’ll see you soon. Chuck?

-Yeah?

-If you can get away without killing everybody, quietly, you know?

-Huh?...Oh…well I’m not making any promises. Chuck out.
