Chapter 5 Planning the Escape

Dan- "Listen bro, we need that cat. The cat predicted that Bitcoin would go to a thousand bucks."

George- "You must be out of your mind. There are no talking cats, in the real world. Besides you were dreaming after all. Somehow your dream subconscious heard of bitcoin and created this whole thing. Have you been sleeping well?"

Dan- "Listen, I get good sleep all of the time. There are some instances when I can't fall asleep, but they are rare. I really think the cat is for real. The dream is what got us to this point. We expanded the business, just as the cat instructed me to do so."

George- "No freaking way, we had some ideas we implemented them, and it just went our way. Your dream is like a hippie on some weed crusade trying to save all of the medicinal plants from dying."

Dan- "Listen bro, I know you don't believe me now. What if we rent an apartment and then I kidnap the cat? I'll show you that he can really talk and has great ideas."

George- "Bro, I think you have really lost your mind, what are your parents feeding you?"

Dan- "You know very well I like to order food from restaurants."

George- "Still man, you are not going to ever convince me of a talking cat. I am interested in moving out since now we have a small nest egg. I hope we can continue to increase our income. But I don't want to hear of this cat thing. I don't even like cats all that much. I would rather have a dog. Find a talking dog and we can revisit this conversation."

We both started laughing really hard, but I was half laughing towards the end. As George took away the hose from me and started to smoke it. I could only think about that kitty and the prediction. Was George right, I was losing it and it all came from my dream? I had to figure out a way to see that cat to make sure. I dropped off George and asked him to look for places available for rent. I also promised him that I would not mention the cat again, unless I could find a talking dog. That was all in fun and we both laughed again. I dropped him off at his house.

I called my uncle's house.

Dan- "Hello, is Vick home?"

Sandra- "No he is away, on a mini trip to San Francisco. You should call him on his cell phone if it's urgent."

I had to think fast, an excuse to see the cat. I got it, lol!!!!

Dan- "Sandra do you mind me stopping by right now? I left something last week…"

Sandra- "I'm kind of busy right now and I may have to leave soon."

Dan- "Please it's something important that I was working on, and I lost it."

Sandra- "Ok, sure if it's important please stop by."

Oh, boy that was tough. How in the world am I going to get to the cat? I got it; I will pretend that I am looking for a flash drive. I cannot locate it till I see the cat. I hope my uncle doesn't let it go out all of the time. I also doubt he took it along.

"I'm in a really good mood, but yet nervous. As I'm pulling up to the sidewalk, I get really nervous. My stomach starts to hurt, and I need to use the bathroom really bad. I don't want Sandra noticing the first thing I'm heading for is the bathroom, kind of awkward. I'm thinking to head now to the connivence store. But I can see the cat in the window. It spots me as well, as I'm massaging my belly like a pregnant woman. The pain is similar as well, as I presume. I have to suck it up. I knock on the door and ring it really fast. She is really taking her time. I'm about to blow. Why aren't there any public bathrooms in the neighborhood. Shouldn't there be at least one? As I'm about to scream and faint at the same time, she opens the door and I rush her. I'm yelling the entire way to the closets bathroom. She starts to yell as well. The good news is that I made to the seat. The bad news I almost fainted and gave her a panic attack. As I sit down and try to do my business the cat pops out behind me. With one claw around my neck, the kitty was very angry. I didn't even get a chance to make a deposit, I'm still holding it in.

Cat- "You son of a whore you left me all this while, in this hell of a household. I gave you everything you needed to make sure I was taken away. How much money you made out of bitcoin; I want half."

Dan- "Listen Cat, put down the claw first. I really need to do the bathroom thing."

Cat- "My name is not Cat, is "Flufii, Flufii". You better get it right or else next time I cut your ass."

Sandra- "You ok in there Dan. If you are ok I want you out of my house, now!!!!"

I've got the cat and Sandra angry at me, damn this thing is not going my way.

Dan- "I'm ok now Sandra, just finishing up. Leaving soon…. Listen Flufii, Flufii, it's not every day I have a cat calling my name asking me to kidnap him. I didn't realize that you are actually speaking to me, I thought it was just a dream. You were totally right; I just want to make sure you were for real. I have a plan to get you out."

Flufii - "You were supposed to get me out 2 years back. The shit is about to hit the fan real soon and I'm still living like a second-class kitty. You better have a real good plan, and real soon."

The cat kept polishes it claws with its teeth, here and there. Made me a little nervous.

Dan- "I'll get you out soon, you'll see."

I walk out of the bathroom really shy and flushed. This is the second time I made a fool out of myself.

Sandra- "You found what you were looking for?"

As I'm walking out, and about to say yes, Sandra slams the door next to my face. Oh boy that was pretty nasty. I had to make an excuse to come back, so I can steal the cat.
