As soon as the bike stopped and M dismounted or more like slid off the bike, two little children came running from the house. M placed the girl around 11 to 12 years old, her jeans hanging lower than it should and her tank top a bit too short for M's liking, leaving her navel exposed. Her head is full of flaming red wavy hair, tossed with an air of i dont give a bull's head about the world, a typical teenager mentality but her face tells a very different story, it bears a silent beauty and the eyes that conveys passion and kindness all covered with heavy eyeliner, dark lipstick and the ever present shadow of antagony to everything. "Gwampa Jack!"
The little boy, M calculated as around 7 because of his dear little lisp.
He is running excitedly, his eyes alight with glee his head equally as fiery as his sister's who is running after him. There are sweet freckles all over his face and a youthfull vibrance around him.
''Gwampa! Gwamps! I weally missed you''
''Hey Mickey''
M forgot about Jack who was standing behind her and now is on his knees as the little boy Mickey hurled himself into a tight bearhug.
The girl arrived to where they were standing ''nice ride.''
M was taken aback by the nonchalant way she was being addressed at.
''oh yes, if you consider it a ride.''
''My name's Carmen, you are?"
''I'''m well, Olivia, my name is Olivia. I am a friend of y-''
''Hey Gramps, mum and dad are out, you want lunch? we can order or whatever..''
The girl walked back to the house without much of a second look.
''Sorry about her manners, she's a stiff britt you see. But this here is my boy Mickey.''
''i will let that one slide Ward.''
M raised an eyebrow Jack only chuckled while ruffling Mickey's hair ''Gwamps! I told you nevew to wuffle my haiw! I'm alweady a big boy!"
Jack raised his hand in defeat, with obvious adoration in his eyes for the little boy.
''Alright, i'm sorry sir. Now be a gentleman and introduce yourself to our guest.''
''Hi, My name is Jacques Michael Palmer, but you can call me Mickey.''
Mickey extended his tiny hand in a very gentlemanly way, M bent all the way to level with the boy and shook his hand ''Nice to meet you young man, My name is Olivia.''
''Are you my gwamps giwfwend?"
''What?"
''What happened to youw knees?"
''I, fell..''
''Can I call you gwams?"
''Well...''
''Did you have sex?" ''JACK!"
M look aghast, and in desperate need of help, she stood up and brushed her blouse conciously.
''That's enough interogation agent, now run along.''
''owkay..''
The boy, mindless of the squirms that he caused bounced towards the house leaving two very experienced agents, both in their profession and personal lives, uncomftable and uneasy with shame burning in their faces.
''I want to apologize, but I cant.''
''One laugh out of you Jack Ward and I will have you drop dead right this instant.''
''Not one sqeak maam. Scouts Honor. Now, shall we get inside and face again the jury?"
Jack extended his arm, M took it with uncertainty.
''You can rub that smirk off your face now.''
''stiff britt.''
Jack muttered under his breath.
