*James*
"...It's a long story...." he says, trailing off for a moment.
I shrug my shoulders casually "Well, I have all the time in the world"
My father tilts his head back against the chair rest and looks up at the ceiling, looking as though he's deep in thought. After a minute, he looks down at his desk and then reaches for his office phone, lifting the receiver and laying it down. He begins dialing a number and then hits the speech phone button so that we can both hear the phone ringing on the other end.
After a minute or so I hear my Grandfather answer and my father informs him of my request "Dad, James is here with me and he wants to know what happened with your Father's original Beta."
My Grandfather was silent for a moment and then finally responded "What's brought that up?"
