Chapter Nine

Ten years ago…

"Nice to meet you Tim, I'm John and this is my family, my wife Martha and our son Dick"

"Nice to meet you sir" Tim still gob smacked to be seeing them face to face

"Your father tells me you enjoy our performance"

"Yes sir" Tim smiled brightly

"That's good, what's you favourite part"

Tim didn't need to think twice before answering, "When Dick does the quadruple somersault without a net…. And when he tight roped all the way across the big top" he replied enthusiastically

"Well you seem to have a fan son, maybe you aught to show him a couple of your tricks" John smiles at his son who sat in the background, surprised by how impressed the young boy is with him

"Uh yeah sure, I can do that" Dick replies, obviously not use with the lime light as he is mostly just looked upon as the young one of the team, hardly the star attraction "Come on I'll try and teach you to tight rope" Dick smiled as he waited for Tim to follow, leaving the adults to talk
