Not Russian Enough

Chapter 10: Really Notabadguy

Okay, I've got questions for her now.

"Hey Samantha. It's... it's been forever. I remember you now, and I remember you as an old friend. Firstly, how have you been?"

"Wait a minute," Cynthia inturrupted. "She was Svetzelga and now suddenly she's Samantha?"

"Samantha is my born name. Also, you don't remember me? Like, even right now? How does he remember me and you don't?"

"I... Ooooooooh shoot! Are you...? You... you are aren't you? We never really knew each other super well anyway," Cynthia excliamed.

"Yeah, but at least you forgot about me. He didn't though, which makes me wonder some things, but we'll get into that later. Come on," Samantha beckoned. "We're almost there."

We traveled on and... I almost forgot my other question!

"Before we go on... how has he been? I haven't called or wrote in a long time. I know I called him on the phone the other day, but really, how has he been?"

"Jas... I mean Yosef..."

"Hold on," I stopped for a second. "You've been working with him this whole time. Why do you keep slipping up and calling him Jaseph?"

"There's a lot of questions going on here." Samantha took a deep breath. "Let's get to all of them. For Cynthie here, first off when I moved here and continued my work with Yosef, I took the opportunity to do the same as him and changed my name to something more appropriate for an evil scientist. Yeah, we're not doing bad work, but we are messing with evil sciences, so name changes are a good idea. I mean, yeah, we're doing mind control, but we're doing it for good, and we're being careful not to sell out. Surely you understand the benefits of this?"

"Yeah," agreed Cynthia. "I'm here to benefit from your mind control technology today, I guess."

"And we're only controlling the parts of the mind which are agreed upon. We don't want to thrust this on anyone. It's an evil science, but we're doing it for the good of people," Samantha continued on. "As for the next question, for our hat wearing friend here, Yosef and I have been doing great, but I myself have been wondering how things are at home, but we'll worry about that later. Yosef holds nothing against you, and he understands just fine why you guys lost contact. He has missed you though. Are you ready to see him?"

"Yes," I... uh... I, "I'm ready."

"Then let's go inside," Samantha beckoned.

That's it? We waited this long for a whole bunch of talk and no action? Ludacris! Bonkers! Nuts! Ridiculous! I'm done.

Join us again sometime for maybe some real action. Maybe.
