The narrator tells us that eight years have passed since he left for college. He's now a novelist, and he's just finished a book about a guy named "Indy Jones" and his apprentice, "Jones" . The narrator says that the trip he took with the bookseller was like a "world trip" for him, and that a publisher gave him a book deal. The book was a hit, and the adventures of Jones and Indy became a series. He also says that he works as a consultant for a company called "sensei" , which means "friend." He says that his boss, the president, always talks about "men of the motheren," and that's why he works for the company.
