DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything from Once Upon A Time In Mexico, if I did I would have a lot more money! This is all from my own head and my imagination, if it resembles any real life incidents it was totally by accident. Any original characters are of my own creation as well…please respect that, thanks!
Megan bit her lip and looked around the room. Needless to say a battle of the minds wasn't what she had expected from this meeting. She watched her dad, casually propped up on the bed. Something didn't seem right, but she didn't know what that something was…not exactly.
Sands could sense that there was shift in the mood, some things you didn't have to see, you just knew. He didn't want Megan reading too much into this too soon, she was a smart, inquisitive girl…she had already proved that. But he didn't want her to find out too much too soon. He would reveal when he was ready.
"How does a kid like you know things about security risks?" He asked conversationally.
"I'm 15.." She said with a bit of bite in her voice. "Besides, it's common sense…especially with the shows that on TV.." She shrugged.
"TV is never accurate." Sands replied.
"You mean 'not always accurate.'" She corrected. "Besides, I didn't say I was getting an education from TV…I simply said there are shows about it on TV.." She countered back.
"No..I say what I mean…unlike some people.." Sands replied. "TV is never accurate.." He said again.
"Sometimes that gets him in trouble..actually a lot of the time, isn't that right?" Jorge butted into the conversation.
Sands 'glared' over at Jorge…and Megan matched his glare with her own.
Jorge shrugged. "Alright already…my work is done…I'll be seeing you around.." He said before walking to the door and leaving. Sands smiled smugly as he left, unfortunately he couldn't see his daughter's expression that mirrored his own.
Megan followed Jorge and locked the door behind him, then came back and looked tentatively at Mateo before cautiously sitting down on the end of Sands' bed.
Sands could sense tension and unease still in the room…he senses were even more acute without his sight. "Oh yeah…Megan meet Mateo, Mateo meet Megan." He said simply. Megan was almost, no she was, offended at his casualness. She thought she had every right to know that he had a son, which she was still convinced Mateo was. And he didn't even introduce her as his daughter…she huffed slightly with anger. She had a very quick temper and very little patience.
Sands didn't know what was going on, he couldn't read Megan's face to see what the problem was and that upset him. He was having trouble adjusting to this change, and one thing he knew was that not being able to read one of the opposite sex, no matter how young or even if she was related, was a very, very bad thing.
Alright, this seems like a good way to end it, I like that last line, so you're just going to have to get by with a short chapter!
