Conversations with Mr. V

I consider Mr. V as one of my favorite individuals in the world. He is a special guy. Though some people think he is a bit slow in the head, I consider his principles as uhm, really really good, unwavering, and practical ones.

His everyday task is to bring me to wherever I need be. I like him coz he lets me ?control? the FM tuner to my liking. Plus he feeds me words of wisdom while on the road.

One time, while talking about his famous passengers over the years, he slowly blurted out that he was (still is I think) in the military. Part of some secret force or something. Even showed me his ID and tattoos to prove it and name-dropped Marcos in the conversation. I just smile and nod my head.
And when the topic became LIFE and the influence of money over it, he secretly told me he has a million dollars. One Million. Not Pesos. But dollars. He got it from -----. (I promised not to tell, eh).

Before the end of the day, I was promised of a whole day of shopping, a car, and 5 Million Pesos- when the time comes he gets to deposit it. Some guy tried to deposit it here before, but he got caught. So Mr. V is very careful. And he needs to deposit it in the States. Goodluck na lang.

I know, who would believe him diba? But the scary thing is, I do.
