"i luv ya lots Mora, thans" i said politely an held da phone ta my ear. i never had wunna dese while i wus in school, i had totally missed out on it. i heard da phone click over ta da White House an da operator come up on da other end. "hiya, can i speak ta federal marshall Sam Tucker please???" i asked all sweet like an den started tappin my foot, dere wus no tellin when Mora wud get smart an take da phone bak. i heard da line come bak gain an Sam come on da line.

"Marshall Tucker." he sounded irritated or embarrassed.

"hiya!"

"Nadine? Is that you?" dere wus a scramblin round in da bakground, he wus obviously foolin round at work. "I thought I would never hear from you again." he said escitedly an i smiled. he liked me.

"yeah, long time no see." i said bak.

"When I heard that Mr. Cho had been assassinated I worried for your safety." he said an i beamed, he wus worried bout me, how sweet. he wus gonna be my earth boyfriend an i wus gonna milk him dry fore Master killed him.

"yeah i know dat Cho guy died, i tole ya dey were gunnin fer him. well duh. im fine an you???" i asked him cuz he sounded real escited an i liked dat.

"We thought you were lying to us." he admitted an i frowned at him.

"hey! i tole ya ima slave an cant lie." wut did it take ta get thru ta him, stoopid jerk."

"Your Master has a lot to answer for." he tole me all serious like an i tried not ta giggle.

"Master didnt do it, it wus a guy named Gunther Chokasky." i said rite bak.

"Chokasky, like Cho but with more to it." he said.

"yeah." well duh, dats wut i said.

"We will bring him in." he said firmly an i blinkied.

"wut can ya do ta him??? he can melt yer face. i wud jus leave him lone, he works fer Master." i warned him. i didnt wan my new boyfrien ta get dead too quik.

"What does that mean to the United States Government?" he asked majestically.

"huh??? dat means even ifn he admits ta killin dis guy he aint gonna do time. Master uses da finest lawyer guys." man talk bout clueless, how did he live so long not knowin dis stuffs??? get real man.

he flipped out bout justice an how bad peeple like Master an Gun were brought down. i checked my nails while i listened ta him soes i wud know when ta jump bak in an give him a reality check. den he went on bout how slavery wus illegal an he wus gonna end it rite now.

"ima slave, ya can do nutin bout dat." i tole him an he got silent fer a second.

"How do you know that we can't help you Nadine?" he almost pleaded ta me. gosh.

reality check: "well cuz i lived in Florida fer eight years an ya never did it." dat seemed ta stop him sum.

"We will get you out, we will come rescue you. I will bring a swat team highly trained in hostage rescue." he assured me an i shrugged.

"ifn ya come ta rescue me dun brin no female officers cuz he'll jus enslave dem too." i warned him gain.

"Even with so many men breathing down his neck?" Sam asked bak an i shook my head.

"naw, he'll jus kill ya an da other males."

"He wouldn't dare."

"he does it alla time." i tole him.

"How many has he killed?"

"hunnerds??? i dunno." cuz i didnt but i knew it wus lotsa peeple.

"Once we rescue you the nightmare will be over, don't lose hope!" he said ta me all escited, tryin ta give me hope.

"hes gots lots more slaves." i said an he slowed down, gettin serious.

"How many more Nadine, can you tell us? One, ten?"

"thousands." i said bak an it got real quiet on da other side. i looked at the phone ta make sure it wus still runnin. how didja tell it wus running anyways???

"How could someone get that many slaves? It's impossible!" he stammered. uh uh uh wutever dude, he goes em.

"cuz he went ta war an took em." i said.

"How could he do that?"

"easy, he started a war an took em." so obvious, my boyfrien wus pretty slow, time ta find nother wun.

"He would have to have his own army to do that." Sam wus nearly shoutin at me. sheesh.

"well duh, yeah, his own army. yer slow." im sorry i had ta say it but it wus da truth, i gotta tell da truth. mostly.

"Tell me how to get there and we will come rescue you." Sam said confidently an i smiled. he wus a bad ass.

"i dun know how ta get here." i tole him.

"Then how did you get there?" he asked.

"me???" i wus kinda caught by surprise, why did it matter how i got here??? i wus already here. blindfolded an den at da bow of da ship."

"That's barbaric!" he shouted an i nodded.

"yeah, sucks, turned my hair white." i said an dere wus a slite hesitation.

"All of it?" he asked as ifn askin fer sumwun else.

"yeah, alla it." i said an dere wus a long silence fore my lil lite bulb went off. "hey! i aint tellin ya dat." man, men are pigs, aint dey....

"We looked up Florida State's admission records so we know what you look like now. It will be easier to find you now." he said an i smiled.

"ya did find me??? kewl." i wunnered if he thought i wus cute. "well duh, i tole ya i went ta school dere." i cud get used ta him bein dis slow.

"You are very pretty Nadine, we are going to come get you." he said an i warmed up from da tips of my toes ta my scalp.

"thans. im not on earth."

"What did you say?"

"i said im not on earth." i repeated, mebbe he wus hard a hearin or deaf. did i wan a handicapped boyfrien???

"Are you serious?" he nearly yelled at me. yeah, tell me bout it.

"yeppers, completely serious yanno. its called RhyDin." i offered ta him.

"RhyDin, a place out in space?" he asked

"yeah." i confirmed fer him, he wus takin it well.

"We have to find a way to get you out." he said almost ta himself.

"ya wanna go out wit me??? are ya sure???" i asked him, i cudnt believe my ears, he thought i wus hot. he found my school picture yanno.

"Yes, if that is what it takes to get to you." he said wit sum frustration.

"kay, but ya gotta pay like everywun else." i tole him, dere wus no way Master wud let me be wit him fer free, phone buddies or not.

"He sells your body for money!" he yelled like he wus horrified. Sammie, chill pill man.

"i gotta ask Master how much, cuz im far way yanno." dat wus true but ifn he wus payin, Master wud get me dere, dere wus no way Sammie wus comin here, he wudnt survive long.

"That is going to take some time? But you can arrange it?" he asked hopefully an i nodded.

"yeah, bout a week i guess." i said an dere wus more silence while he talked wit his buddies. i hope he came lone an didnt espect me ta share wit dem. dat wus gonna cost him big time. he aint a very good boyfrien is he....

"Okay, set it up." he said breathlessly, he wus real escited now.

"yer gonna do sumthin stoopid aintcha. yer gonna try ta free me or trap him. yer gonna lose yanno." i warned him jus ta be nice. he wusnt gonna listen anyways.

"Just give him the message and tell him I am willing to pay, but it has to be here on Earth." he instructed me.

"kay, ill tell him."

"Take care of yourself until then Nadine." he wus all concerned now, it wus cute!

"thans! talk ta ya soon." i looked at da phone soes i cud turn it off an den finally i jus shut it fore smilin ta Mora an handin it bak ta her.
