Jake Wilder and his Unknown Inheritance

Chapter 2

"I cannot believe you've told him! This is great news!" said Alan pushing his glasses higher up his nose. Alan was taller than June and very skinny. He had that nerdy look, he always wore shirts and trousers and to make it all complete, now he was also wearing a white lab coat on top. They were sitting in a large living room/kitchen. Everything was in a shade of brown and made of wood. The space was divided in half, by the table they were now sitting at. In one side there was the kitchen with few appliances, a microwave and a toaster. On the other side there was a long L shaped sofa, but no TV. On the left of the living room you could see some stairs. The left side was going down and the right side was going up.

"So, dad, what is it exactly that you are doing here?"

"Well... I don't just do one thing. I design, I do reckon, I am always looking for something unusual and I work out."

"You?" and Jake laughed "Working out?"

"Don't be a prick Jake, I can kick your ass if I want to!"

"I don't think that you can, but you can try."

"All right boys?! We have more important things to worry about and to discus. Alan, I was thinking for a couple of months to stay here with Jake and give him some basic training. I want to see if that will help with his blackouts. I've told Miss Aubrey that we will go and see a doctor. I am sorry to bother you when you are working. We will mainly be in the gym. Oh and also, if you have the time, I was thinking of teaching Jake more about his ancestors and our history?"

"Whatever you want to do, June, is fine with me. Oh, Jake we will have so much fun! You didn't bring any clothes for Jake, June? "

"Oh! I forgot! We came here straight from the school. If I go and someone sees me they will ask about Jake or even if they don't, the story has to be perfect."

"Then I will go."

"But you usually leave for your business trips for two weeks. Everyone knows that."

"I will say that you called me and because of Jake I came earlier. We will say he in admitted in a hospital and you are by his side, that I came to bring some stuff for both of you. I will also increase the security inside and outside of the house since we are both out."

"Ok, Alan. Your story is the one we will all use. When do you want to go?"

"Well, if you called me as soon as you left the school, plus the time to tell my superiors, plus the travel time from work to the house. Tomorrow morning. He can borrow some clothes from my room until I bring some of his."

"Did you hear Jake?" asked June.

"Yea, it is fine by me either way."

"No, Jake. You cannot be like this. Carefree and not interested because you will get lost in all the lies and that cannot happen. You will put all of us in danger. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Relax mom I am not that stupid, even me."

"Ok, ok. Are you hungry? What about you Alan? Did you eat anything today?"

"I could eat" said Jake.

"I'm starving. Didn't eat anything today" said Alan "Didn't have the time."

"Alan, you know you have to eat. How else could that wonderful brain of yours work? Please take better care of yourself" said June and stood up from the table. She went to Alan's side and placed her right hand over his left cheek. "You are my all" she said, her eyes were a little bit wet, smiling and looking straight into Alan's. Then she bended over and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. "Let's see what you have in the fridge"
