Chapter 4: Getting Fit I



“What did you want to talk about? Let me guess, you’ve been taking notice of my good report cards. What can I say; when I put my mind to something I can pretty much do anything.”

“Didn’t you get all C’s and B’s?”

“Yeah it’s awesome isn’t it? Back home in Appaloosa I only got C’s and D’s except for art which I aced of course.”

“Un huh, anyway pack a gym bag, we’re going to start your training today.”

“What training?”

“Every morning and afternoon, you’re going to start working out. Cardio in the morning and weight lifting in the evening. We’ll get your feet wet today so I can get a gauge of your current body strength. Don’t worry, I’m not expecting much.”



“I appreciate the offer but I’ll have to pass. I’m an artist. We don’t need a bodybuilder physique to sell our work. Not to mention what would happen if I hurt my hands while working out. These babies aren’t refundable.”



“It won’t be just your hands; I’ll break every bone in your body if you don’t hurry up and pack your gym bag.”



“You know its Sunday today. You shouldn’t be making threats like this on the Lord’s day.”



“You’re trying my damn patience. GET YOUR DAMN GYM BAG BEFORE I **** **** ***!”



“Alright, alright, I’ll go pack my stuff. But don’t expect me to do this training with a smile.”




“You can go on ahead without me, I’ll take a taxi to the gym and just you meet there. I’m afraid to be in the car with someone who curses like a sailor on a Sunday. The Watcher doesn’t like ugly, Jorvan.”




“Why I couldn’t I just call a taxi and you drive by yourself?”

“Just stop talking. You’re raising my blood pressure.”

“You have high blood pressure? Are you sure you should be driving. You’re not young anymore; you should take better care of your body. It’s a tough world out there for senior citizens. I was taking the bus the other day and could you believe that no one was going to get up and give this nice old lady their seat.

“You’re killing me. Literally.”
