“Okay, everyone,” Tyler said, getting up. “I hate to break up the party, but I have things to do. Like clean house, since it’s Saturday. It was nice to meet you in person, Reed.”
“I should do the same thing,” Brent grumbled, standing as well. “Thanks for the tea, Reed.”
“You’re welcome,” Reed replied. “Are you going too?” he asked me.
“‘Fraid so. I have to finish washing my car before heading to work.”
“On a Saturday?”
“Yes.” I explained about being a cameraman at KQBD. The BD stands for Brookdell, the name of the city where we all live and work. The Q? That’s anyone’s guess. Probably just to follow FCC rules that all stations have to have four call letters.
“Then I guess I’ll see all of you at the party on the Fourth. Should I bring something?”
“Yep.” I stopped the others before they vanished. “What do we normally need and forget?’
“More beer?” Brent replied with a grin.
Shaking my head, I looked at Tyler. He asked Reed, “What are you good at?”
