I read the number on the card. I enter it on the phone, then tap another sequence of digits. Darragh's home number. It is 5:00 pm French time, and stupid old Raoul forgot that Brunei time was 7 hours ahead. Stupid, stupid Raoul.
Because guess what? Darragh's parents are ASLEEP at midnight! And Darragh isn't even BLOODY THERE! He's at some party, getting laid.
So i dial the number, and wait for someone to pick up. It rings. It keeps ringing. And... "Hello?" A woman's voice, Dar's mum. Oh yeah, i remembered, one of his house phones is on his mum's bedside table. Oops (at the time though i hadn't yet realised it was 12:00 so i didn't say sorry i woke you or anything).
Raoul: "Hi, can i speak to Darragh please?"
Dar's mum: ...
Raoul: Uhh, this is Raoul...
DM: Oh Raoul! Hey! How are you, i heard you're coming over to visit Brunei!
Raoul: (I'm thinking HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?!) Oh, yeah... i can't wait!
DM: Yeah, Darragh's very happy (sarcasm??)!
Raoul: Haha, cool... is he there?
DM: Oh, sorry, he's at a party or something, getting laid with his boyfriend... could you call back tomorrow?
Raoul: Yeah sure! K bye!
DM: (very sleepy voice) Yeah bye.
*CLICK* [Hang up]
Raoul: OHH SHITT NOO... Mum, what time is it in Brunei right now?
