Cade, otherwise known as the infamous Confederacy, adjusted the bomber jacket his brother insisted on wearing daily. Why me.
He had never been to one of these world meetings, but he heard stories from Matthew, his slightly older brother. Someone always was hit by a frying pan.
He had one minute until the meeting began. Alfred specifically told him to be late, but Cade hated that. He loves being on time, so he had some time left over to get to know people.
Cade burst through the door, but not too showy so as to not draw unnecessary attention to himself. Quickly he found his seat.
He could feel their stares as he pulled out the notecards Alfred gave him. It's so messy I can barely read it.
"You're early" someone, he was sure it was Arthur, commented.
"Yeah." Cade tried not to be too Southern, but the full force of the accent hit the room anyways. Several people winced. Cade knew that Alfred had a habit of slipping into the Southern drawl when he was mad or very tired. Dammit. There was no way he could win them over with Southern charm now.
Each country started doing their presentations. Cade made sure to take careful notes in that beautiful cursive of his.
Matthew looked over at the notes. "Cade?" He whispered.
"Yeah, its me." Cade replied.
"What are you doing here?"
"Al asked me to come in his place. He promised KFC if I did."
"No one else knows you're here?"
"As far as they know, Cade S. Jones don't exist. To them, I'm my brother."
"Good. They can't know the Confederacy is still alive."
China was next to present. "Everything would be fine, if dear America would kindly pay me back, aru."
Many looked around nervously, as though Cade was going to explode.
"Now listen here, sweetheart" Cade's Southern accent was on full throttle in an attempt to politely threaten. "I ain't got the money nor the econ to pay anyone! So y'all betta lay off!"
Something hit Cade in the back of the head. He turned to see a paper crumpled up on the floor. "Awrigh'" he stood up. "Who threw that?"
The Russian man, Ivan was his name, sat there with an expression of horror. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Damn right, you didn't!" Now he was mad.
All of a sudden, hs found himself tackled to the ground "I got him, aru!" China announced. "I got him!"
Matthew was done. "Leave Cade alone!"
No.
