Spectacles
Jack checked the desk in his study. Where on earth were his spectacles? He could've sworn he left them on the desk. He checked the little table in the corner, then the bookshelves. Where had he put them? Jack blinked when a thought came to him and he frowned. "Maverick." He jogged out of his study, down the corridor, then into Maverick's room without knocking.
Maverick turned to him, eyes wide, his hands at his collar as he froze. His tie was half undone. "'ello, Jack. What brings you to my humble abode?"
"Where're my spectacles?" Jack asked, irritated and impatient.
Maverick shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe Montarg nicked 'em."
"Why would he do that?"
"'e's gettin' old." Maverick shrugged.
"I heard that, you brat!" They heard Montarg yell angrily.
Maverick glanced in the direction the voice had come from. He looked back to Jack. "Why would ya think I took 'em?"
"You always do." Jack said, turning and leaving. He heard Maverick huff and mutter, "Charming, that is."
Jack looked around the house, lifting jars and looking in vases. He was pretty sure his spectacles wouldn't be anywhere in those places, but he looked anyway. While Jack looked, Maxwell watched him from his place on the floor; surrounded by his toy cars.
Suddenly, Jack came to a stop once he noticed Maxwell sitting there, smiling. Jack's brow creased and he tilted his head, keeping his eyes on Maxwell. "Grandfather!" He called.
"Yeah?"
"Your son is smiling at me really deviously!"
…
The next thing Jack knew, he was fishing his spectacles out of the toilet; smiling at Maxwell. Maxwell clapped in delight and giggled. "Mr. Jack found 'em!"
