Lost City of Atlantis

At Home

Ruben sat down to make dinner for his lovely wife Karen as she fixed the dinner table. "You know I really like what you did for Mark but we're not letting him stay overseas for 2 months. We're not even letting him stay overseas for 1 week." "Come on honey let him be with his friends." "No way! its not safe!" "You and Mark with that; its not safe crap. Did you teach him that?" Ruben indicated. "Maybe? But does it really matter? He is our boy and we're not going to let him get robed by pirates or something. And their not making a movie about him and that stupid ship sinking either." "Why would they make a movie about him? And why would there be pirates?" "You know what I mean Ruben. You know its comments like this that makes realize why I divorced you!" "Come on, come on lets not be like that now." "We are getting Mark back if I have to do it myself! You know how unsafe it is! They could get mugged, and yes this is an American word see I'm learning already! Or worse one of them could get seasick, and by the way Mark has a history of seasickness. You know that whenever he's somewhere around the sea on a boat or something he gets sick! Just wait give him three days Ruben you'll see!" "Your being crazy Karen. Ya see its negative comments about our boy that made me divorce you!" "Thank you Karen thanks a lot for helping me see all the reasons I left you!" "What! I left you! Karen shouted. That is it I'm out of here!" "No please Karen I'm sorry okay I just wanna make this work for Mark he loves being around the two of us and when he's around only one of us at different times he's upset! Karen come on don't you want your boy to go to America! We can make this work!" "Its too late Ruben you made me cry! And by the way I will get him! I hooked a Tracking System inside his Luggage so I will find him ha!" "What! see I knew you didn't trust him! you never do!" 'Only because I knew something like this would happen." "Well.. Ruben finally said in a calm voice. Lets see if he even comes with you that's his choice now Wicked Witch!!" He slammed the door shut.
