Bush43 #10 - “Learning A Little Humility For Fun And Profit”
By Jason Kenney
Guess what? Henry Burke was Millennium Man. It’s true. I’ve seen his secret lair.And it’s freakin’ huge!
Think big ass cave/cavern filled with stuff. Neat stuff. Stuff you’ve never seen before. Really fantastic stuff.
It was like the Batcave.
I saw it all.
Alfonse showed it to me, accessing a convenient secret entrance from the study of Burke Mansion that led down a staircase to the lair below.
But I didn’t have much time to enjoy the view.
“You will have time to explore the caves later, Mister Carter,” said Alfonse as I stood at the bottom of the stairs, gaping at everything. “Right now we are here to begin your training.”
“Yeah,” I said, coming to and looking to the butler, “no offense, Alfonse, but are you going to be training me?”
He stopped and turned to me.
“Yes, Mister Carter, I will be your instructor.”
“So, uh, am I learning to be a butler?” I asked, walking towards him while looking around. “Cause, I mean, that’d be great and all, but I need to learn this…”
I stopped speaking, though not because I wanted to. No, Alfonse struck my windpipe quickly and, truthfully, quite painlessly, but well enough to make me have to gasp for breath.
It was a move very similar to the cheap shot that Silver Shadow guy got in on me, that son of a bitch.
“First lesson, speak only when necessary.”
I tried to speak and ended up having to give Alfonse a thumbs up with my free hand while the other massaged my throat.
Asshole.
