Chapter 52

The rest of the work week for Alondra went without a hitch. Brian didn't pull any pranks on her, for fearing her wrath. He tried not to get into trouble with her with suffering the possibility of getting hurt by her. Come Saturday, Alondra had prepared for her and Will's moved to Collinwood. Brian came early to pick him up for the boat ride. He also gave her the gifts that he and Angelique had picked up for them.

Will loved the model boat that he got. Alondra was reluctant to accept the gift, but she did for trying to keep some sort of peace with everyone. She looked at it, and saw that it was pretty in its own way. She decided to put it on, and at that moment, she really did not feel that hostile towards Angelique. She did not know how this happened, but she seemed to accept her more willingly. She told Brian to make sure that he brought Will back to Collinwood at a decent hour. He told her that he would make sure of it.

When the two of them left, she continued with the packing while waiting for the movers that David had hired for her. She could not wait to move into Collinwood to try to get Brian to forget Angelique. The movers arrived soon after, and she told them what was going to the new location and what was going to the storage facility.

Brian and Will arrived at the pier where his father's boat was. Quentin greeted them with a smile and gave his grandson a hug, and missed up his hair. Will laughed at him and gave him a hug as well. They then went on to the boat and got ready to cast off.

Will asked his grandfather why the boat was called 'Jenny'. Brian had now knew why his father named the boat that, but how would he explain that to his grandson. Quentin told him that he named it after someone that he knew from a long time ago. Will then asked him about if they would do any fishing today, and Quentin told him that they would have to come out here very early in the morning for that. He told him that maybe in a couple of weeks they could do that. Will got excited over that, he had never been fishing before, and was looking forward to that.

Quentin stopped the boat at his favorite spot, and dropped the anchor. He saw that it was near lunch time, and asked Will if he was hungry yet. Will said that he was getting hungry, and saw that his father had his head over the side of the boat. Will asked Quentin what was wrong with his father, and Quentin told him that Brian forgot that he suffered from seasickness. Will asked him how did he forget something like that, and Quentin told him that since he was living in New York City, he probably forgot all about that, and now he had his head over the side throwing up.

Will went over to his father, and said to him that he hopes he feels better soon. Brian told him that he should be alright in a little while. Brian saw the waves again, and started to throw up again. Quentin came over to him and said that it should pass soon. Brian told him that it will if the stupid boat would stop rocking up and down like a roller coaster ride. Quentin smiled at him and left him to his misery.

After he was done, Brian went into the cabin of the boat to see his father and son eating lunch. Will asked him if he wanted anything to eat. Brian told him just water for now. Brian was thinking of maybe taking the boat out before the full moon would rise so he could not kill anyone again. Brian asked his father in not so many words of the possibility of bringing the boat out here on 'certain nights'. Quentin reminded Brian about the Coast Guard wanting to know why he was out here at night time, and would come out to investigate the boat, and that would not be a good idea. Brian was disappointed in this, but he knew that his father was right.

After lunch, the three of them went on to the deck of the boat to look at the ocean and the surrounding area. Quentin gave Will a pair of binoculars to look at the landscape, and the far reaches of the ocean. Will was happy with being with his father and grandfather on a day like today. He looked through the binoculars and saw a lot of people walking along the beach. He then looked at the ocean, and saw some ships that were far out. Brian was smiling at his son, seeing the happiness of being with him and his father. He just hoped that they would be cured soon, and not suffer like he was.

Quentin saw that it was getting late, and told Will that they had to get back to shore for today. Will was not happy about this, but both Quentin and Brian reminded him that in a couple of weeks, they would be coming at here to fish. Will calmed down then about being reminded of the fishing trip with them. Quentin piloted the boat back to the pier without Brian getting sick on the way back. They then went home to Collinwood to see if Alondra had her stuff moved in there.

When Quentin parked the car in the garage by the house, Will opened the door and was going to run into the house, but Brian told him that he should not run into the house because it was impolite and rude. He also reminded him that he needed to stay with them until they were inside. Will obeyed his father and then went into his new home.

Hallie was in the foyer looking over the mail that had arrived earlier, when she saw Quentin, Brian, and Will come into the house. She saw that Brian still did not look so good from the boat ride. She asked him if he was alright. He replied that if he was alright, he would not have this lovely shade of green with me still. She laughed at him, because she knew that he had forgotten about his seasickness. She then left them to get Alondra.

She came in the foyer, and asked Will about his day out on the boat. He told her that he had fun on the boat, and that his grandfather and father were going to take him fishing soon. She told him that if he caught a fish, he would have to clean it himself, because she was not going to do it for him. He looked up at her with his eyes looking sad. She saw this, and she knew that he had her beat on this. It reminded her of what Brian would do if she was going to get angry with him. Brian tried it on her, but she told him that he could clean his own fish if he caught any. He said spoilsport under his breath. She asked him what was that he said. He was starting to get 'THE LOOK' from her, and told her nothing, and left the foyer. Quentin was about to leave the foyer as well when he saw that, but she told him that he had nothing to worry about. He smiled at her and left before she changed her mind.

Maggie saw both men leave as fast as they could, and asked Alondra what had happened. She told Maggie about what Brian said under his breath about being a spoilsport for not cleaning any fish that he should catch in a couple of weeks, and gave him 'THE LOOK'. She told Maggie that Quentin was afraid of her as well, and left also. Maggie laughed at this, and told Alondra that was one of many ways to get back at them for things like this. Alondra agreed with her as they both laughed about it in the foyer. Will did not understand what was going on and asked his mother about this. She told him that when he meets a girl when he gets older, if he gets her mad at him, she was going to give him a look that would make him very scared of her. He told her that he was not afraid of any girls. She told him that's what he says now, but that will change later on in his life. He was still confused by this, but decided to forget about it.
