Phone Calls (Bruce)

Side note. I always do some quick research on other cultures when including them in my stories. So, I looked up what they speak in the Netherlands, Dutch, then played around with translators to see what words are and am utterly in love with the language. It just looks fun.

One phone call, ignorable. Second one in a row, annoying. Third one means it is time to answer.

Groggil, Erna answers, "Evran Visser."

"Hello. Bruce Wayne. I have a scheduled call with you. Were you asleep?" The man sounds disappointed.

"Excuse me? Do you know what time it is here? You were supposed to get in contact with me seven hours ago. When I was awake." Erna angrily replies.

"What? The scheduled time was 9 am to 4 pm. It is 4 pm." Bruce says confused.

"Read it again." Erna demands.

Silence on the line.

"I'm very sorry. I misread it. My I call tomorrow to handle the business?" Bruce says softly.

She sighs, knowing she needs this job, "Very well Mister Wayne. Call at 10 in the morning your time sharp. I'll be waiting no more then ten minutes."

"Why so specific?" He questions.

Erna sighs, "Goodnight Mister Wayne."

She sighs and goes back to sleep. The next day Erna gets her paperwork from the last job finished with ease.

At 5 pm her phone rings, bringing a smile to her face as she answers, "Erna Speaking."

"Bruce Wayne as you requested." He says.

"What is it I can do for you?" Erna questions.

"I was hoping to have a recovery job done in the cape." He asks.

"You are aware of the price for this correct?" She questions.

"Not a problem, as I'm sure you are aware." Bruce casually.

"If I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me, I wouldn't need to run this business. Anyone with more then a mill thinks they are famous." Erna teases, "So I will need the money upfront. I'd I can't complete the task, you'll get a refund of 90 percent. The 10 percent covers legal fees to accire the permission and permits as well as time spent getting them."

"You don't know who I am? Bruce Wayne, top batchelor of America for almost a decade and more money then needed?" He questions.

"Congragelations? Listen, my job is to know how to perform recovery ops and on occasion travel to find something for someone in another country. I don't have time to keep up with who has the money to do it. I'm more interested in knowing history and the land." Erna explains.

"You travel to find things? Like treasure hunting?" He asks.

"For the right price. Which will be 5 million for your job by the way." Erna changes the topic.

"Transfering it now." Bruce says.

"Great. I'll let you know when the search begins. I will then ship to you all that we recover." She explains.

"Thank you. I hope to hear from you soon." Bruce says and the line goes dead.

The next day Erna receives  a call from Bruce and answers, "Hello Mister Wayne, is everything alright?" 

"Yes, just fine. I was hoping you had time to chat." He explains. 

Confused, she agrees. Over the course of the next month they spend more time talking about history and interesting facts then they did work. They started getting to know each other personally personally and enjoying the conversations.

The day for the stuff to be handed over finally comes.

Erna gets dressed up more formal then usual for this exchange, hoping to make a good impression. She rather likes Bruce.

When he finally arrives, she walks up with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Mister Wayne."

"The pleasure is mine. Though perhaps we could go eat after loading my get up?" He asks with a smile.

"I'd like that." She smiles back.
