Chapter 1
"I'm sorry; but we have nowhere else to place him." A woman in her mid-fifties stated as she stood on the front steps of Big Poppas Surf Shop.
"I just don't understand how you got my name or my address." A man in his mid-sixties replied as he eyed the women with confusion.
"It's in our files." The women explained simply. "You're under the name of Maddison Fox." The women finished as the man sighed.
"I don't know - " The man began as the women frowned.
"Please!? - " The women began to beg. " - I don't want to beg; but this kid is sixteen going on seventeen and he's been in too many different homes to count and if we don't find him one soon; well, I'm afraid we won't be able to help him anymore." The women finished as the man eyed the women in thought.
"Fine." The man sighed as the women smiled. "I guess; until you can help him; he can come and stay." The man explained.
"Really!?" The women questioned hoping she heard him right.
"Yeah; I don't see why not." The man explained with a smile. "The kid needs somewhere to stay; he's around my granddaughter's age - so that might be good for him; and I figured well, life can be tough; why not try and help as much I can you know?" The man finished as the women smiled. The man however; had another thought on his mind. "I just uh, have one question though." The man continued as he eyed the women.
"Anything." The women replied simply.
"What's the kids name?" The man asked with interest.
"Brady." The women finished with a smile.
"Last name?" The man questioned with an eyebrow raised.
"Doesn't have one." The women began with a hint of sadness in her voice. "Hasn't since he's been with us." The women finished as the man nodded in understandment.
"Alright; I just wanted to know his name." The man finished as the women nodded.
"I understand." The women replied with a smile as a small silence began to form, the women broke it. "Now; Brady will be arriving tomorrow; until then, I will see you around." The women finished.
"Of course." The man finished as the two shook hands.
"Thank you again sir, you have no idea how helpful this is." The women explained with a wide smile.
"Your quite welcome! And honestly; I'm kind of looking forward to this." The man finished with a smile as well.
"Awesome!" The women exclaimed as she turned to leave the front porch. "Until then, see you tomorrow." The women finished as she walked away.
"See you tomorrow!" The man finished as he watched the women walk away.
So; as the women walked away, the man slowly turned back into his home and closed the front door behind him. While walking in; the man came face to face with his granddaughter. Instantly; the man could tell that his granddaughter had heard most of the conversation between him and the women. Suddenly, he smiled gently as he watched his granddaughter Mack, cross her arms.
"Who and what was that about grandpa?" Mack had asked with interest as she raised an eyebrow at him.
The man smiled at Mack, " - It was nothing really - " He began until Mack interrupted him.
"Grandpa; I know your lying to me." Mack explained as the man sighed. "Who was that? And what did you guys mean by "Brady coming tomorrow"? What's going on? And, who's Brady?" Mack questioned with curiosity as she dropped her arms and placed her hands on her hips while giving the man a serious look.
"Um; sit down - " The man suggested as he gestured to a side table in an off room in the house they were in. So; the two sat down. " - Look Mack; in some circumstances; you'll have to make a choice on whether or not you will want to help. Right now; this is one of those circumstances where I had agreed to help." The man explained with a smile.
"Help?" Mack asked once more with interest as she raised her eyebrow at him again. "Help with what?"
"Mack - " The man began as he eyed his granddaughter with interest. " - Have you ever heard of the word Forster Care?" The man asked as Mack nodded.
"Yeah; it's where kids who don't have homes go to so someone can adopt them or help them find a home." Mack explained as the man smiled at his granddaughter. "But I still don't understand? What does a foster care have anything to do with this? Unless - " Mack questioned only to stop in thought. " - That women was from the Foster Care." Mack finished with a frown at the thought.
"Yes; she was." The man simply replied as Mack eyed him in surprise.
"Grandpa; you didn't - " Mack began as she allowed her voice to become softer. " - Adopt? Did you?" Mack questioned with a hint of worry in her tone, her grandpa dismissed the tone in her voice.
"No; I didn't adopt." The man explained simply once more. "I agreed to allow a young man to come and stay with us for a little while until they could find him a permanent place." The man finished explaining as Mack once again eyed him in surprise. Yet, as the man watched his granddaughter eye him in surprise; he couldn't help but notice there was something else shining in it. However, he once again dismissed it, hoping to get his granddaughter to get on board with the idea. "Mack; I know this may be a lot, but this boy needs our help." The man began to explain as he smiled. " - And this isn't permanent like I said it's only for a little while. Besides; who knows; the kid might even grow on us, in fact, I bet you two would even become good friends." The man finished with a grin.
As he finished, a small silence came over the two as Mack continued to stare at him in shock and thought.
"Mack? - " The man questioned as he waved a hand in front of her face.
"But grandpa! I mean; isn't this so sudden!?" Mack questioned with a frown.
"Well, I guess it is." The man replied with slight hesitation.
"My point." Mack stated simply. "I mean; I get that you want to help this kid, but they just came and asked you out of the blue. No meeting; no real phone call, heck; you haven't even meet the kid that your letting come here and stay! For all we know; he could be a criminal in another state!" Mack finished as she flung her hands up in the air to empathize her point.
"Mack! Sweetie! Please, calm down." The man stated as he held his hands up in defense.
"But Grandpa - " Mack began as the man interrupted her.
" - But nothing sweetie." The man replied simply as he watched his granddaughter huff in annoyance. "Look; I understand your concern I really do; it's just, I also understand this kid's problem and I would like to help. However; I would like to have you in on this so we can help this kid together." The man explained with a smile. "Please Mack; I know it is sudden, but I could really use your help with this." The man finished as he gave his granddaughter a pleading look.
Mack sat there for a moment and the two eyed one another.
Finally; she sighed.
"When will this boy be here?" Mack questioned as the man smiled.
"Sometime tomorrow." The man explained.
"Okay; and where is he staying?" Mack questioned once more with interest.
"In the bedroom before yours; the one that's our guest room." The man finished as Mack sighed slightly.
"Sounds good." Mack replied simply before continuing. "But uh; is there anything you need me to help you with before his arrival tomorrow?" Mack questioned with a slight smile.
"Sure; glad you asked because I do have some things that need done - " The man finished as he patted his granddaughter on the shoulder. "Come on." The man finished as he winked and stood from his seat. Together the two walked away from the table the had been sitting at and began their task.
Now all the two had to do; was wait until the kid arrived tomorrow and hope that this whole thing was going to go well...
