Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 45)

*At the coffee shop*

Ozzy: *heads into the shop and looks for him*

Richard: *is sitting at a table near the back reading the news paper*

Ozzy: *approaches his father and lightly taps the corner of the newspaper*

Richard: *looks up* Ah Ozzy glad you could make it. *folds the paper and sets it down*

Ozzy: I promised I would.

Richard: *lightly chuckles* A man of honour.

Ozzy: I like to think I can be counted on. *has a seat*

Richard: *rests his chin on his hands* Good to hear, Ozzy. *smiles at him*

Ozzy: *nods a bit* Well... You wanted to talk.

Richard: *nods* Yes I've wanted to know what and how much I've missed since I left long ago.

Ozzy: heh.. a lot...

Richard: *rests his hand on Ozzy's* Ozzy listen I wish I had taken you with me but Jacqueline made it difficult for me.

Ozzy: She was... sneaky... *sighs softly* so what did she do?

Richard: *sighs* Complained that I wasn't supportive. That I never cared about the both of you and that I would rather hang around with the whores *shudders* Like I'm that kind of man.

Ozzy: I really don't know much about you. She refused to tell me anything about what she called my 'bastard' father.

Richard: *reached into his wallet and pulled out a photo of him holding a infant Ozzy surrounded by several white blood-cells* This is the only photo I have of you.

Ozzy: *looks at it* Who are they?

Richard: My family, mostly my parents and my siblings. That photograph was taken when Jacqueline was out of town.

Ozzy: *nods a little and looks* Momma always was possessive.

Richard: I never understood why though she mostly kept to herself.

Ozzy: Dunno how many are alive but I found out I have half brothers and sisters from her...

Richard: *shocked* What?

Ozzy: this was recent... she.. killed most of them... I don't even wanna talk about what she tried to do to me last month...

Richard: *places his head in his hand* I never knew she never told me.

Ozzy: She didn't want you to know... and don't worry.. I didn't think you knew about that..

Richard: I'm starting to think if I ever knew her.

Ozzy: Did anyone?

Richard: *shakes his head* No she never really talked to anyone though I heard her complain a few times about someone named Marie.

Ozzy: *chuckles* I know Marie... but I call her Grams.

Richard: Grams? *thinks* She's Thrax's mother isn't she?

Ozzy: *nods* She used to be in immunity... but Mom messed that up for her... Mom's... a psychopath or something... killed her own children... and what she did to me proves she's capable of it too.

Richard: *sighs* Frank what did I ever see in that woman?

Ozzy: I got no clue... *softly* you're really sincere.. you want a relationship with me don't you?

Richard: Of course ever since I found out Jacqueline was carrying you.

Ozzy: *nods* Look... I really need you to accept that I just... I don't know you... and yeah that's momma's fault but... please accept that Thrax is my father... I mean you are too... But he's the one who I've been able to turn to.

Richard: *nods* I understand. He seems to have taken to caring for you really well.

Ozzy: *nods* he is...I made a promise to him too dad.

Richard: Strange from what I've seen it's like he done this before.

Ozzy: Well... he has... He used to have a wife and kids a while back... *softly* They're dead...

Richard: Hmm. . . tell me was his wife a young virus with red hair, purple skin and crystal blue eyes?

Ozzy: *nods* I think so.

Richard: I remember that she was accused of murder a few years ago and had been on the run.

Ozzy: *softly* I know... Momma started that too...

Richard: *groans* Murder. . . accusing an innocent. *sighs* I sure picked the wrong female.

Ozzy: it's not your fault. *smiles a bit finally*

Richard: Feels like it.

Waitress: *comes over* Can I get you boys any thing?

Richard: A strong black coffee for me please.

Ozzy: Coffee regular please...

Waitress: *takes their order* Alright then. *walks away* *returns in a couple of minutes with their coffee* Here ya are boys. *winked at them and when back to work.*

Ozzy: Thanks. *sips his coffee*

Richard: *takes a gulp of his* It's the only thing that calms my nerves.

Ozzy: *nods* Works for me too.

Richard: *clutches the cup in his hand and sighs* Ozzy please tell me that I made a mistake letting that 'woman' into my life.:

Ozzy: heh.. well... I was born.. that's one good thing...

Richard: The only good thing then again I didn't have a choice into marrying her.

Ozzy: didn't have a choice? *confused look*:

Richard: *nods* Her family saw me a genetic tool. They figured if I married and had kids with her they would have a worthy pawn at their disposal.

Ozzy: *frowns* But how could they force you to marry her.

Richard: *took another gulp of coffee* I would have refuse if they hadn't threaten my family.

Ozzy: Is momma's whole side of the family.... psychotic?

Richard: More like a whole clan of demons. *shudders*

Ozzy: *nods and looks at him* dad?

Richard: Hmmm?

Ozzy: Please... PLEASE tell me you're sane... *smirks*

Richard: *chuckles* Would the FPD hire me if I was?

Ozzy: *laughs softly*

Richard: Ozzy with all due respect I think it would be better if you addressed me as Richard from now on.

Ozzy: *nods* Alright

Richard: I've seen how Thrax is with you heck I think he's done a better job than I ever could.

Ozzy: So... You're saying you'll accept that I call him my father?

Richard: *nods* He's been there for you when I haven't and you've helped him by the looks of things.

Ozzy: We've been there for each other... heh... *softly so that only Ric hard can hear* Even though I get my but toasted on occasion...

Richard: *chuckles* Firm but loving.

Ozzy: *nods* Yeah he is.

Richard: *laughs heartily* A great man just like his mother.

Ozzy: *smiles* Why don't you come have dinner sometime? I'll talk to daddy bout it. *smiles and sips some of his coffee*

Richard: *nods* Sounds good. It's been a while since have had a decent meal.

Ozzy: sweet. I'll see what time... Promise you'll be more civil to him than you were before?

Richard: *nods* Of course. I guess my FPD training and teachings got the better of me.:

Ozzy: *nods* I guess so. I'll talk to him.

Richard: We always taught that harmful viruses and bacteria are to be expelled from the body but Thrax is an exception, *sighs* despite what the city thinks of him.

Ozzy: He's none infectious.

Richard: I agree but this city seems to have Thrax on the edge.

Ozzy: He has been lately.

Richard: Bad memories? *drinks down the last of his coffee*

Ozzy: *nods* Yup.

Richard: *shakes his head* Poor guy would have gone mad long ago if it wasn't for you.

Ozzy: Heh...and vice versa. *smiles*

Richard: *smiles* You've really helped each other for quite some time and each never wishing to leave the other.

Ozzy: *nods* I promised him I wouldn't leave. I don't want to leave him.

Richard: I understand. You truly care for each other and love each other dearly.

Ozzy: *turns red and chuckles, hiding his head in his hand* Good lord you make it sound like we're lovers...

Richard: *chuckles* Sounds like but you both have a loving father-son relationship that's keep you both at peace.

Ozzy: *nods and smiles* Yeah we do.

Richard: *smiles* Thrax sure is a lucky one.

Ozzy: Yeah me too. *smiles*

Richard: *nods* I can tell that he has taken very good care of you.

Ozzy: *smiles* I think so.

Richard: *raises his brow* You think so?

Ozzy: *nods*

Richard: *shakes his head* Thinking is underappreciated. Knowing is understanding.

Ozzy: Alright fine then.. I know he is.

Richard: Better. If he heard you say that you 'think' so he'd be crushed.

Ozzy: *cringes a bit*

Richard: He's devoted to you and saying something like that would make him feel unwanted.

Ozzy: I get it.

Richard: *nods* Good. *sighs* Ozzy I've been watching the news a lot to keep an eye on your achievements and I heard about the attack on yours and Thrax's old home.

Ozzy: Yeah that... that sucked to say the least....

Richard: *nods* The attack, your relationship revealed to the public. No wonder Thrax is a nervous wreck at the moment.

Ozzy: *nods* yeah and he's really... like I mean REALLY protective of me.

Richard: *folds his arms* He lost one family and he doesn't wish to lose another.

Ozzy: *nods* I know...and I know that's why... I kinda like that though y'know.. *smiles a bit* I mean... Seriously... I can't think of anyone who's been that protective of me... feels good y'know.'

Richard: *nods, smiling* He's doing a better job that I would have.

Ozzy: *chuckles a bit*

Richard: *laughs lightly* He's definably like his mother, don't think she's changed a bit since we last met.

Ozzy: maybe I can arrange a meeting.

Richard: If you could I haven't seen Marie since I was trainee.

Ozzy: sure I'll let her know. *drives back to the house*
