Frank the Angry Sock: Chapter 3 – Good Riddance
Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 2:24PM 
I actually switch Chapter 3 up and added a chapter that shows the concern of the Hospital to get rid of Frank and his family. I thought it only fitting.
The Hospital Staff at Basketville General seemed eerily accommodating to the Haines family. They helped the couple pack up all of their belongings, very quickly I might add; they even threw in the television and remote to Peter’s satisfaction: Anything to get rid of Frank and his demeanor after digesting bleach products.
One Sock Nurse helped Vanessa get dressed, while the Sock doctor helped Peter put on his shoes.
They hospital staff gathered up everything, including the twins and brought in two wheel chairs.
They put Vanessa in one wheel chair and handed her Frank, they put Peter in the other wheel chair and handed him Hank.
They proceeded to hand Vanessa the overnight bag and Peter the television set and remote control.
They wheeled the couple out diligently and they efficiently maneuver the couple and the twins through the hospital hallways.
Each hospital door opened up magically. Peter is astonished by the hospital staffs kindness and generosity.
The two nurses and the doctor wheel them all the way over to their car. They helped them unpack everything from their laps and into the trunk. One nurse left and went back into the hospital; looking over her shoulder the whole time.
The doctor and nurse open up the trunk of the car and noticed two huge boxes in the trunk and no room for anything else.
Peter forgot to hookup the Ankle Sock seats in the back of their car. It is a major violation. He should have had them inspected by the Sock State Trooper, to ensure they were installed properly.
Vanessa notices the boxes and looks over at Peter. He is embarrassed by the situation. She mouths to him “You are a fucking idiot!”
He agrees.
The doctor takes the baby’s seats from the trunk of their car and fast and furiously installs them in the Haines’ backseat.
Peter is again amazed at the situation. Hank and Frank have slept through the whole transition.
Vanessa looks over to Peter and they look at one another in curiosity. “How come people tell horror stories about child births?” The horror stories only increase when you have multiple kids. Maybe this is a method or means of Sock birth control. If the horror stories sink in, maybe the young adults or teenager will wait until they are ready to have ankle socks.
They shrugged their shoulders at one another and smiled at the cute little Ankle Socks all snug in their arms.
The doctor is BANGED and BOOMED his way through the difficult installation of the child safety seats.
He mumbled under his breath: “Where the freak, is the freaking latching system?” “Does this piece of poop car even have seat belts?” “Screw it!”
He quickly ties the remaining unused and unhooked belts together and tugs on the seats to see if they are securely fastened, and they are.
He seemed impressed with himself. He just wanted this couple gone.
The nurse and doctor helped Vanessa and Peter out of their wheel chairs and helped them get the babies into the safety seats. The twin Ankle Socks are all warm and snuggly and slept like babies.
After inserting and arranging the Ankle Socks into their proper seating arrangements. The nurse and doctor turned their attention to Peter and Vanessa.
They guided them into the front seat of the car and doctor took the keys from Peter’s grip and inserted the keys into the ignition and shot him a gentle wink and nod.
Peter and Vanessa were overwhelmed with the caretakers.
The doctor and nurse closed the doors to the cars, simultaneously and shuffled the couple on their way. Waving and smiling at them the whole time.
Vanessa shot Peter a stern look. It is the look of utter disappointment, the one only a wife can disapprovingly give to a husband. The look that makes every Sock man stop in his tracks and rethink the current situation.
Peter finally understood Vanessa thought process and he turned the car off and got out of the car.
The Sock Doctor and Sock Nurse’s facial expressions turned from warmth to beleaguered in an instant. They were nervous now.
Peter approached the two of them and reached into his pocket and pulled out some small Sock bills. He wanted to tip them for all of their generosity.
Vanessa waved approvingly from the car!
Peter said “We really can’t begin to express our gratitude for all that you have done for us. The joy you have brought to my wife and I will be a lasting memory.”
Peter handed over a 10 dollar bill to the doctor and another 10 dollar bill to the nurse.
The Doctor replied “We cannot accept this. This is what we do!”
The Nurse agreed “We do this for every new family that comes to Basketville General.”
They gave Peter back his money and the doctor patted him on the back.
Doctor “Our motto is to treat our patients with the kindness they deserve. It keeps them coming back! Or should I say it keeps them on their back!”
Peter smiled. He then turned to a short period of deep thought.
Peter “What about the television set? Do you give those away to everyone?”
The nurse looked over at the doctor as he stumbled over his response. “Um, ah, um, well we don’t just give those away. Um, ah (a bright light goes off in his sock doctor head) you and you wife just so happened to be the 10,000th couple who delivered a baby here at Basketville General.”
The doctor glanced over at the nurse, then over to Peter, to see if Peter was buying the fib.
Peter smiles wildly. “That is awesome!”
The doctor and nurse smiled back. “I know. I couldn’t believe it either!”
The doctor patted Peter on the back again and ushered him back to his car.
Peter hopped in and started the car and slowly pulled out of the parking spot.
The doctor and nurse continued to wave at them from the sidewalk. The doctor mumbled to the nurse under his breath. “Good riddance, you sockers!”
Peter and Vanessa are now driving past the doctor and nurse and they continued to smile and wave at them as they past.
The nurse giggled. “They are going to be in for a shock, or should I say a sock? When they get home that little freak of nature is going to run amuck!”
Frank the ankle sock POPPED up from his baby seat, breaking through the safety restraints and gave the caretakers a pair of middle fingers in surround sound, as if he heard every last word out of their mouths.
The doctor and nurses’ jaws dropped to the ground.
Frank closed his middle fingers up and balled his tiny little hands up into tight sock fists. He showed them to the caretakers. He showed them his two new friends; death and destruction. His little sock mind already could comprehend the sense of revenge. It appeared to be an instinct to him.
The bleach effect hadn’t fully worn off yet.
The doctor and nurse enter the hospital and put in their two week notice. The doctor had vacation built up, so he never returned and was never heard from again.
The nurse only had two vacation days left and she didn’t want to burn any bridges, so she carefully came to work. Nothing happened within those two weeks, but somewhere down the line, Frank the Angry Sock returns to them. It is only a matter of time.
