"Oh man, I forgot about the note" Milton whispered to Javan
"It's cool, I took it before I went back to bed last night" Javan replied. The house is empty. Riley, the dog raced ecstatically to the door, climbing on Milton, licking his face
"I'm happy to see you too, big boy" Milton grinned. An hour later, the boys played a bit The boys stopped in exhaustion and rested on the garden chairs
"Bro, you smell and I murked you on a different level!" Javan barked ecstatically [MURKED means "beat" or "defeat" or "accomplish"] of basketball in the back garden. The sky was slightly dimmer than before, with no sunshine present. Javan wore a Royal blue coloured vest, Royal blue coloured, baggy trousers and his old, Dark Orange/white coloured Nike Air Maxes.
"Don't gas in my eardrums, you're a cheater. Two of my three point buckets should have been allowed, but you called for a foul" Milton spat. Milton wore a Pale Pink coloured XXXL t-shirt that hung loose, white coloured three quarter length shorts, and his old blue/white Nike Air Force Ones.
"Anyway, now that you know your ethnic background, what's the plan?" Javan asked as he wiped the hot sweat off of his forehead
"I need to find out her name. I need to. But I've got to go from here. Coming here only stalls me from what I... Wait a second. Was that your plan?" Milton asked
"Course not" Javan hesitated
"Gasman! You're so gassed its unreal" Milton spat [GASMAN is someone that suffers from verbal diarrhoea of the mouth. GASSED means "not making sense"] "I'm still going"
"And what are you planning to tell Mum and Dad?" Javan asked
"I don't know yet, but I'm leaving tonight" Milton assured Javan as he wiped the sweat from his forehead
"Ok fine, but again you will need all the help you can get. I'll tag along" Javan grinned as he walked into the house through the garden door, throwing the basketball on the floor. Milton soon follows.
Milton and Javan sat at their dining table to discuss the plan. Milton had a book of the world map opened, with the page on The Netherlands. Javan types on his HP laptop
"Alright. So I think we should go to the Netherlands first. I strongly think Holland is a real option" Milton suggested, looking at information about the Netherlands.
"That's cool. Our Dad's younger brother, Uncle Arthur, lives in Holland, init?" Javan asked
"That's right, you know. But we have to find out where, because we've never been there" Milton declared
"That's true. There's got to be a way... Oh! I got it, star!" Javan said speed typing at the keyboard "Yes, I'm on this ancestor website. I've got the address" Javan grinned
"Ok. I think the earlier we leave for the Netherlands. Doesn't Romone's brother's friend own that ferry?" Milton asked, closing the atlas
"Do you think my man is going to let us ask his brother for that? After forking out over £500 to replace the tyres and that glass window on his car, Romone most probably rinsed out most of his bank account. And that was a friend discount" Javan declared, writing down his uncle's address, closing his laptop
"Look, he's a safe guy. He will understand how important this is for me" Milton declared [SAFE in this sense means "loyal" or "good"] "But I'm actually thinking hard whether or not I really want to do this" he said as he got up and entered the kitchen for a drink. Nathan then entered the room. Javan quickly hid the paper he wrote his uncle's address on.
"Are you alright son?" Nathan asked in his very low-pitched voice, as he closed the front door.
"Yeah I am" Javan replied, as he got up with his laptop
