Part V:It’s been a fast moving few weeks, let me tell you. Richie Jr. is growing fast.
While Amber clearly resembles her mother in many ways, there is absolutely no doubt who Richie Jr’s father is.
Amber did some research and discovered a source of the elusive Deathfish, at the old docks near where we live. Just to make sure that we had some on hand when we needed them, I chaperoned a late night fishing trip so Amber could reel a few in. Even though she’s only a teenager, her sport fishing techniques are highly impressive.
It wasn’t long before Richie Jr. was going to school, too.
He’s very attached to his Aunt Odessa, much like Amber is, and he’s following in her footsteps. It looks as though I have a budding artist on my hands.
Also, my darling daughter has recently grown up! A friend of hers from school was there, and even the repairman took a moment out of his busy day to help her celebrate!
My stunning young lady has developed into a
bombshell that could level most of this city. She has inherited my eyes, my hair, my muscular physique, and my…well, you can see for yourself! But she wears it all better than I ever did. Richie gave her his skin tone and his nose, but that just makes her look more…exotic.
My first thought is that I need to get that security gate finished or I’m going to have young men breaking into the house or fighting honor duels to the death on my front porch. But Amber solved this problem for me, by wooing the boy she had a crush on all through high school: Horace Alderman.
They have a lot in common. They share a passion for nature, have the same taste in music and even have the same favorite color! It’s almost surreal how compatible they are.
She’s decided to put the wedding off a bit, because she wants a proper ceremony. Her plan is to have it outdoors at one of the many parks around town. Also, since cooking is her latest passion (I suppose it goes hand in hand with gardening and fishing), she wants to make all the food for the wedding with home grown fruits and vegetables. She has also made a couple of special requests from Odessa for some of her specialties.
As for me:
After Amber grew up, I decided to start my international crime spree.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t much in China worth stealing. However, I did get the opportunity to do a few odd jobs for the locals, and I may have found something I enjoy almost as much. Tomb exploration. It’s like thievery, only without the victim.
One of these odd jobs required me to gather up some precious gems, metals…and get this: bugs. During the course of this job, I figured out that international insect trafficking can be quite lucrative. I might make this a sideline business.
Once I returned home, the boys in blue decided that they missed me, so they invited me over to the station for another visit. That’s what I get for being such good company I guess.
But that didn’t set me back very far, and I achieved my life’s dream: I became a master thief!
That statue is the third most exquisite thing in the world, right behind my two children.
With the deed done, I sit down for the most glorious meal of my life:
Well, so far I've succeeded where Captain LePew failed. Now I just have to keep my descendents motivated.
