“This will do just fine.”
“Great, I’ve got to go down and pop in on a few people and find your missing girl(s). Why don’t you two pop in for tea tonight?”
“Thanks. Tracy and I will have to do some shopping today.”
“I’ll see you.” Phillip said, waving good-bye. He shut the door.
“How are we going to work this?” Tracy asked.
“Well, I guess we’ll have to pretend like we’re a family. You know, you’re the only one that is not related here. Kristin is now, legally, my daughter.”
“What does that mean, I get the single bed.”
“No, it wouldn’t seem right. We’ll just keep on doing what we have done.”
“I think you should get the small bed.”
“Well, let’s leave it up to Kristin to decide.” I said, looking distraught.
“Listen, Adam.” Tracy said, coming and putting her arm around me. “What would your parents think, you have a daughter and you’re sleeping in the same bed with a girl that you’re not even married to.”
“Just think what the mobsters will think if they see that my bluff is just that and I don’t want to sleep in the same bed as my alleged wife.”
“You do have a point there.”
“You bet I do. Well,” I started to change the subject. “If we want lunch we had better go down and get some food.”
“Right on.” She agreed. We got into the car I had rented and drove to the nearby car park. Driving on the left side of the road, with the steering wheel on the right sure was different. We pulled into a car park named “Princess Square.” Going down in the elevator, we arrived at the main floor, where they had LEGO displays and other wild things. My wife took me into the grocery store and we bought the necessary items. We then browsed through the candy store and others.
Eating there, we went on back to the apartment and discussed how we were going to capture Sir and rescue the girls. Kristin came home at 4:00 PM. She walked in the room and said, “Boy, I never want to go there again.”
“Why dear, what happened?”
“All day long, they kept asking me to talk so they could here my accent.”
“Is that all?”
“No, if I want to go again, I have to wear this silly uniform.”
“Well, I’ve got a surprise for you. The last time I was here, I had to wear the same silly uniform, and if I’m right, I still have it.” I said, reaching into a drawer and pulling out a navy blue blazer. Imprinted on it was the name of a school, ‘Garth Hill School.’ “I went to the same school, and if you wouldn’t mind wearing your father’s blazer and tie, I’m sure you have a dress shirt and dress that would complete the uniform.”
“I don’t want to go back. They all make fun of me.”
“Not if I’m around, they won’t.”
“You’re coming!?!”
“Yes. I figure I have some catching up to do with the teachers.”
“All right, can I try it on now?”
