Snap, Crackle, Fall
The murmors that had awoken you, where from Nick, his mother, and two
other men that you have never seen before. One of the men was muscular
and a face like a bear. The other man had really caught your
attention. His brown hair and hazel eyes had stunned you.
Feeling brave you opened the attic door a crack. Hoping you had not
disturbed the people below you. Pushing the door a little more you
peer around the corner trying to get a better view of the clean-cut
man.
Shuffling on the other foot you start to lose balance. You tumble down
the ladder making a big thud at the end. Scared you scramble onto your
feet, finding four pairs of eyes upon you. You blush, and look over at
Nick for some guidance.
"Uh! Dad! this is Helen. My..Uh!"Nick stumbles to find the
right words.
"Stop with the babling! Who is it?" The man said in a fierce
growl.
"My boss's daughter. Yeah that's it," Nick smiles.
Looking confused. You look over at Nick again trying to find the
truth. All you get is a sharp glance from his piercing eyes.
"Exuse me Nick?" The brown haired man said.
"But, Mr. Shou has no daughter. He hasn't been married for twenty
years now."
"Yes, I know that." Nick faces you trying to leave some of
the burden upon you.
You speak up, "I'm adopted." The worry leaves Nick's face as
he scoots out a chair for you. You sit down feeling pleased with
yourself. Your about to get settled down when the hazeled eyed guy
looks over to you.
"So why are you here?"
You wake up to soft murmors in the room below you. Your body
aching from the hard plywood, you get up finding a crack of light
streaming through the attic. Crawling over to it, you peer into the
tiny crack.
