Tales from the green
Connor Hawke stands in the doorway watching Ollie play with Lian. The four year old was desperately trying to free Ollie of his mustache. Roy comes to stand next to him.
"Connor someone is on the phone for you. Some guy named Eddie…" Connor hand darted out and covered Roy's mouth before he could finish the name.
"When I take my hand away, don't say a word just turn around and walk back into the kitchen. Nod if you understand." Conner voice is low and serious. His eyes bright and focused
Roy drops his head in nod. Connor removes his hand to revealing Roy smirking mouth.
"Do you have to get all crazy commando on me, it's just a phone call…."
Connor grabs hold of Roy's hand and starts them towards the kitchen, calling over his shoulder to Ollie.
"Ollie, Roy and I are going out for pizzas. We'll be back in a few have fun with Lian. Mia should be home at six."
Ollie waves in their general direction with out looking away from Lian. Connor drags Roy in to the kitchen.
"Do you have your cell phone?" Conner serious his eyes keep darting towards the doorway.
"Yeah, why? what's up." Roy tries to keep his voice light.
"Number."
"Connor you're really starting to freak me out and that's saying a lot because well you're you."
"Roy your cell number. Read it of to me now."
"Okay I see I won't be getting any answers from you."
Connor lifts the phone to his ear. Nodding to Roy. "Number."
Roy list off the number, Connor repeats it in to the phone.
"Did you get that?" He talks into the phone.
"Yeah."
"Kay umm call the number in five minutes."
"You should just get a phone kid."
"Eddie five minutes. Bye."
Connor hangs up the phone. Taking hold of Roy arm, he drags him out the front door to stand in front his car.
"Where are we going Connor?" Roy reaches forward and unlocks his car.
"To the pizza store."
They climb in Roy takes off. He's quite for a while giving Conner time to speak up. When he doesn't after ten mitues Roy takes matter into his own hands. "You going to tell me who this Eddie guy is."
"Eddie Fryer. I'm sure dad told you all about him."
"And he's the reason you just jolted out the house like a marine with a secret mission."
"Yeah. Dad and Eddie have a nasty history. They don't get along."
"And you and Eddie?"
"Have a nasty history… we don't get along. …I like him so it's more complicated than just not getting along. It more like we don't agree on the way things should be done."
"And so you kidnap me, my car and my cell phone to hold an outdoor conversation with some guy you like but don't get along with. And you always want to know why people think you're gay"
"I'm not gay Roy. If anything I'm bisexual. I like women."
"Oh he has spoken. He has finally given me the key to understand the great and mysterious sex life of Connor Hawke." Roy adds a high pitch overly shocked tone to his voice.
"Roy do you know how much of a big brother you are?"
Roy flashes him a big smile. "Don't you love me for it."
Connor fidgets in his seat.
"I've got to meet this guy simply to see how he unnerves you the great Connor monk so well."
Conner shoots him a dirty look Roy smirks and taps his fingers on the wheel waiting for the light to turn. The car is quite. Conner fidgets in his seat Roy hum under his breath. The shrill ring of the phone separates them. Roy reaches for it and drops it into Connor's out stretched hand.
"Eddie?"
"Yeah it's me kid."
"Why did you call the house what if dad picked up?"
"I would have asked for you."
"Eddie."
"You still put a lot in to one word. Are you going to meet me somewhere?"
"No…. yes. When."
"Tomorrow good for you?"
"Yeah the house is empty you can come pick me up. I don't feel like running a rat game to find you."
Laughter. "You sound tired kid. You getting enough sleep."
"Eddie… just tomorrow okay."
"Understood. Tell Roy thanks for letting you use his phone."
"Eddie?"
"Yeah Connor."
"I missed you."
"Me to kid."
Dial tone.
Connor moves the phone from his ear. Roy looks over at him.
"That's what you couldn't say in the house."
"Yes." Connor's voice is tight his eyes focused on his knotted fingers.
Roy pulls the car to a stop in front the pizza store.
"I'm going to go in there and leave you out here. Give you some time to think. Do you want anything on your pizza?"
"Whatever the rest of you are having."
"Meat?"
"No."
"Just making sure you're still our Connor."
"Get out of here Roy."
There is a small smile on Connor's face. Roy stands back another job well done. The line in the Piazza stores is disgustingly long, the pimple face teen behind the register give him sass and the pizza takes forever. By the time he gets back outside Roy is more than a bit ticked off. He opens the passenger side door to find Connor curled into himself face resting on his knees. He slabs the door and moves around to his side of the car.
"Connor you're crying." Roy tries to keep his voice leveled but murderous thoughts concerning a Mr. Eddie Fryer move dance this head.
"I know what I'm doing Roy. Give me the pizza get in the car."
"What did this guy do to you Connor tell me. Me and Ollie will figure him out."
Connor gives him a smile and wipes at his face. "I'm fine lets just go home and please refrain from mention any of this to our dad."
"If I see you crying again all bets are off."
"Fine. Home please."
