Fire and Flames

S6(e15)

I stood in the fbi office with Betty and agent Drake as she rants about her parents.

"So my mother looked the other way and allowed my fathers evil to flourish. she helped him bury a body which rotted under our family dining room table for decades. That's the coopers. Apple pies served over an unmarked grave" Betty says I touch her arm symptomatically

"Like how my mother knew my father was a murder and crook" I say 

"Betty so your father was groomed by his mother to kill wasnt he" our fbi friend agent Drake says

"My disturbing inheritance. Yes." Betty says

"Agent cooper" drake says standing "Betty" drake sits on the desk next to me
"You survived 18 years of trauma in that house and you need to move out asap" drake says

"I agree your still in a very toxic relationship with your mom and you need to break up" I say

"Is there a place you can go to? Boyfriends house or your girlfriends" agent drake asks

"You can come stay with me" I say

"I can't impose on your family" Betty says

"I don't mind, what about arch?" I ask

"Yeah" she says

"Well thank you you guys for the impromptu therapy session agent Drake and Avery" betty says
"We're glad you requested a transfer to help with tbk agent Drake" I say

"Well of course and it's Jillian or just Drake if you two prefer" she says

I go to daycare and pick up Adrian and take him for a walk in the park. I get a call from sweetpea saying Archie is calling the construction crew to help take down pops and put it into storage for tabby since she was denied a historic land and Percival wanted to bulldoze

He was happy about getting another job. He really liked construction

That night after I picked up alec we went home to sweet pea

The next day after dropping the boys off at school I go down to pops to see if I can help out a little bit.

Everyone was inside packing up I go over to tabby and help her pack up stuff at the counter when the gum ball machine falls and breaks open.

"What the hell" I ask and tabby just looked at it

"That hasn't moved in years how did it fall" I ask out loud

"No idea" tabby says

We clean it up and get back to work

Sweetpea walks in in black jeans and a white t shirt and construction belt

"Thought I seen your car" he says and leans over and kisses me

Later after we finish I walk outside to Archie and sweet pea closing up the truck Archie and sweet pea walk over to me

"Let's go inside" sweets says

We sit down at the counter

"Unbelievable and this is what it must have looked like back in the day before it opened up so much potential huh" tabby says

"Well it's like you said tabitha it's only temporary" Archie says and the door opens

"Hello" Percival says

"I'm so sorry to intrude I just I thought I'd check on my property and on this fine crew you've assembled and let them know about a job opportunity I might have for them" Percival says and Archie stands up
