Where we left: "Hello there, welcome here." Gar said with a smile as he opened the door.
Now with the story…
AT LIGHT SPEED LOVE COMES AND PLANTS ITS SEED
CHAPTER 3
"Well, I certainly haven't been received that way since the first time I came."
"Huh?" Gar opened his eyes, which were closed making his smile bigger, and realized who the one that had knocked the door was "Aahhhaa!"
SLAM!
Gar closed the door with all his might and rested his back against it.
"Who was that?" Rachel asked when she arrived at the door.
"Hey, open up you shorty!" The person outside yelled banging, on the door with their fists.
"Oh, Jason." Rachel said with a tired sigh and a roll of her eyes.
"We can still say we aren't home." Gar proposed with hope in his voice.
"Too late, just open the door." Gar obliged with a defeated sigh, when he opened the door he found a glaring boy, whose gaze sent shivers down his spine.
"Thank you very much." Jason said entering the house along with his companion; his dog.
Jason's dog was a 30-inch male Shiloh Shepherd covered in a solid black, medium length double coat (The outer coat very dense and with straight hair lying close to the body). Its tail was bushy and long, its eyes were almond shaped and very light brown in color; the dog also had moderately pointed ears that opened up toward the front. The dog's name was Red X, but everyone called him X for short.
"It was for X, not for you." Rachel said crossing her arms over her chest.
"And I also came here for X, not for you babe." Jason answered taking the leash away from his dog, which shook its body to take off the feeling of being strapped.
"My name is Rachel, and you know it."
"Yeah, whatever. It's time for X 's vaccines." Gar and Rachel glared at Jason but didn't say anything.
"Sure, to the consulting room please." Rachel said leading the way.
The first steps were in silence, until Gar found something to talk about.
"Hey Jay, I didn't see you yesterday in the park. Where were you?" If Jason was already angered with the green eyed vet, now he was trying not to punch him. He hated being called 'Jay', and Gar knew it, and he also hated to be left out of things, and Gar knew it too.
"I had more important things to do than hang out with a bunch of losers."
"Were you invited?" Asked Rachel smirking.
"Garth told me he was going to the park with all of you, and I just don't like you." Jason answered evading the question.
"You weren't invited." Rachel stated taking her lab coat from the hook next to the consulting room door.
"I wouldn't have gone even if I was invited; I'm way too good to be playing around with you kids."
"Of course you would have gone," Gar continued teasing "Any chance to see Kori is a good enough excuse for you."
"A chance to see Kori is good for any straight man." Jason stated as matter of fact.
"But you, just like the rest of them, can only see and not touch." Rachel said as she called X up to the examination table.
"Oh yes, who would like to be in the 'most hated people' list of our old police agent?" Asked Gar with a grin.
"Would you just shut up?" Jason asked exasperated "I came here so you could attend to my dog, not for being teased about."
"You owe us that, how many times have you come here just to annoy us?" Asked Gar, walking over to the dog and taking hold of its neck to keep it calm as Rachel injected it.
Jason was Garth's brother, yeah, the one I told you about two chapters ago, remember? Anyway, Jason was a boy with Roy's height and complexion, black hair that reached the nape of his neck, grey eyes and white skin. He had studied Computer Sciences and was a quite qualified administrator at Wonder Enterprises; he had had the day off and took the chance to take Red X to receive his vaccines.
Jason also had a crush on Kori, but she never seemed to be interested in him and knew he would never have a chance with her after he found out that Roy had asked her to be his girlfriend and she had accepted. And the saddest thing was that all the boys of his gang were also rejected by their crushes; Rachel had rejected one of his friends sometime ago.
"Are you done yet?" Asked Jason to Rachel after he decided not to answer the question Gar had asked.
"Almost." Rachel said preparing to apply the first vaccine to Jason's dog.
When the needle touched the dog's hind leg it whimpered a little but Gar managed to hold him in place. In silence, Rachel did the same with another vaccine, this time X didn't move.
"Done." Rachel said throwing the empty syringe into the trashcan where she had thrown the other one.
"Thanks, that's all I needed."
"Next time could you at least bring your brother? It makes your visits more interesting for us." Gar said letting the dog go so Jason could put him back on his leash.
"Yeah, and I will also be wearing a pink tutu for the next visits." Jason said sarcastically.
"Oh, please don't do that; I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life." Rachel said making a disgusted face.
"Very funny, I'm sure you would love to see me in a tight suit, black so it could match your hair." Jason said making his way to the door with the vets at his side.
"Please, I want to see you only if X needs something." Rachel decided to answer finally.
"Sure thing, I'll tell your old friend 'Hi' for you." Jason said with a grin opening the door.
"If he asks for me tell him I died."
"I just met you yesterday and you already hate me?" Rachel, Gar and Jason looked up and saw a red haired boy standing on the doorway with a Jack Russell Terrier in his arms.
"No Wally, I wasn't talking about you." Rachel answered smiling slightly.
"Well, that's good." Wally said looking at the black haired boy "Who are you?"
"That's none of your business" Jason said coldly "Bye squirt, bye babe; I'll see you… whenever."
With that he walked away, his dog by his side wagging its tail.
"I swear one day I'm going to-"
"Wanna come in?" Rachel asked cutting Gar off and moving back so Wally could enter into her house.
"Sure, thanks." Wally entered and Gar shut the door behind him "Who was that?"
"Jason Dash, he's Garth's brother. But you wouldn't like to meet him; he and his friends are a bunch of losers." The woman explained.
"How so?"
"That's not important, so what does your dog need?" Wally decided not to ask anymore questions about that Jason guy, at least for now; if the vets said he was no-one important, then that guy was no-one important.
"Nothing, just a little check."
"When was the last time you took Flash for a check up?" Asked Gar once they were in the consulting room.
"Well, I don't quite remember." Wally answered truthfully, he was a bit ashamed by his answer.
"Wrong answer, but nothing seems to be wrong with this little guy." Gar said examining Flash, Rachel decided to leave the work to him this time.
"That's good news." Wally smiled.
"Does he have all of his vaccines?" Asked Rachel.
"Yeah, I made sure of it." Now Wally wasn't that ashamed.
"Cool, everything is good." Gar said handing Flash back to its owner.
"That was fast…" Rachel noticed that their new friend sounded a little sad, it was one of his first days staying in the city, and probably he wanted to be with someone else besides his cousins.
"Do you want a cup of coffee or tea?" She offered, Wally's eyes recovered that spark she learned to recognize in them since their incident the last day. Just remembering the embarrassing moment they had at the park made her blush slightly.
"I would love some coffee." At Wally's smile Rachel couldn't help but offer a little smile of her own.
"Why don't you take Flash to the backyard with Raven and Beast?" Gar proposed "I bet they would love to have a new friend to play with."
"Hm, why not?" Wally agreed and Gar led him to the backyard's door while Rachel went to the kitchen to prepare two mugs of coffee and one mug of tea for herself.
Soon Wally and Gar were back at the kitchen just talking and smiling.
"You have a very nice house Rachel." Wally commented sitting at the table along with Gar "Or well, I liked what I saw."
"Thank you." Rachel replied "How was your work?"
"Huh?" The redhead asked dumbly "Oh! It was ok… at least the last part of it."
"What happened?" Asked Gar.
"I'm known for not knowing when to close my mouth, but I'm also known for not being the most observant guy in the whole world." Wally started, the vets didn't quite understand, but they stayed quiet so their friend could continue "Did any of you know that Joseph Wilson, the son of Slade Wilson, was the head of the Jump's Daily?"
"The Joseph Wilson?" Gar asked astonished.
"We had no idea." Rachel continued honestly.
"Neither did I."
Rachel and Gar didn't need another explanation, they knew what had happened.

: 5:10 pm at Milky Way:
Don't be scared, Milky Way was the name of the Preschool Kori worked at. The preschool was open from 6:00 am to 5:30 pm; they knew many people had work to do, and some of them needed to leave their children earlier or to retrieve them later than the rest of the parents.
At the moment just one girl needed to be picked up, she didn't have a mother and the father was always traveling so the older sister had to go and get her back to their house.
The building also had a Nursery school for younger children; for real babies. There was this little girl's nephew. Kori was taking care of both children and of her own brother waiting for their relatives to come and get them.
"Miss Anders?" Called the girl to her teacher "Do you like being with me?"
This girl was five years old, had blonde hair that was always tied in two low ponytails at each side of her head and wide blue eyes; she was pretty cute. Her name was Melvin Moth.
Melvin's nephew was a baby not older than a year; he had wisps of blonde hair on his small head and eyes just like his mother's and aunt's. His name was Thomas Roberts, but everyone called him Tommy.
"Of course my little child, that is why I am here." Kori answered with a smile to her little companion.
"My sister said you were here only because you got paid." Melvin said with curiosity written all over her face.
"Oh no, I am here because I like to be here, your sister is wrong." Kori reassured the girl.
"My sister says she's never wrong." Melvin continued.
"She can be wrong sometimes, she is only human." 'Or so I think' Kori thought to herself not wanting Melvin to know what she thought of the girl's big sister "But we better keep this like a secret, just you and me, all right?"
"Why?" Asked Melvin curious again.
"Because maybe this will make your sister mad, and we do not want to see her mad." Kori explained with one of her always warm smiles.
"Ok Miss Anders, I won't tell anything. Pinky promise." Melvin said extending her finger to her teacher, which she accepted gladly. Tommy giggled as he watched this from Kori's lap.
Knock! Knock!
Without waiting for an answer, the person at the other side of the door went through it; it was Melvin's sister and Tommy's mother.
"Katy!" Melvin yelled happily running to her sister, who was still in her work clothes having just come back from the dinner meeting she accompanied her boss to.
"Hi Melvin." Kat said to her sister with her high pitched voice that Kori despised so much "Good evening Miss Anders."
"Good evening Miss Moth." Answered Kori rising from the chair she was sitting on in the classroom where they had been waiting Katherine to arrive "You are a little later that usual."
"I went with my new boss to a dinner meeting." Kat answered taking her son from Kori's arms.
Yeah, the same Katherine Moth that worked as Richard's secretary had a son, but she wasn't married. Her boyfriend went to work out of the country for a while so he could get more money, he always sent home some for Kat and their child, he promised her that once he was back they would get married. Kat didn't mind that much that he was away, it was hard to have a son while you worked almost the whole day, but she had some fun flirting with more than one boy each day, and she just was fascinated with her new boss.
"Yes, I know he arrived just yesterday to the city." Kori commented.
"Wouldn't you like to meet him?" Kat asked to the red head trying to make her mad, but there was one thing the blonde didn't know…
"I already know him; he is Roy's best friend."
"Roy?" Asked Kat with a quirked eyebrow.
"My boyfriend, he and Richard are best friends." Kat didn't believe her, and Kori could see that so she continued "We went to the park yesterday with our dogs, he took Robin with him, and he is going to take it to my friend Rachel today so she can check it. I think he must be on his way already."
Kat stayed there shocked, she knew the other woman was telling the truth; Richard had told her what he had done yesterday when they were driving to the dinner meeting, and he had told her he was going to take his pet to the vet after they were done with their appointment.
"Yeah, well, anyway." The blonde said finally "Whatever, I'm going now. I'll bring them tomorrow as always."
"I will be waiting." Kori said glad she had beaten Kat.
Wonder what's with this attitude between these two adults? They have been like this since high school; both girls were the most popular but Katherine was so mean to the others that soon Kori took the crown in the school. Katherine was so jealous that she started to annoy Kori as much as she could, Kori started to hate Kat ever since then.
"Bye Miss Anders!" Melvin called back to her teacher waving a hand in the air, Kori waved back.
"See you tomorrow Melvin!" After the trio had disappeared Kori sighed and looked back at her brother who was staring back at her "Ready to go home Timmy?"
"Yay!" Timmy exclaimed holding his favorite blue blanket.

: Back with Rachel:
"And then he said: 'No, but we have lots of lobsters'!" Gar finished his joke and started to laugh as if it was the funniest thing in the world, but Wally and Rachel stared at him sweat-dropping. There were more possibilities of them laughing at his laugh rather than at his joke.
"Is he always like this?" Whispered Wally to Rachel, she shook her head.
"No, sometimes he's lamer."
"Dude! I'm so not lame!" The vet said hearing what his co-worker had said.
"I don't think there's another word to describe you." Rachel retorted.
"Don't be so hard with him Rachel." Wally said making Gar smile "He just can't accept the truth." Gar's smile fell.
"Hey! You're supposed to be supporting me!"
"Why?" Asked Wally.
"'Coz we're men, and she's a woman, you should be helping me to beat her." Gar said pointing to himself and to Rachel as he spoke.
"But it is not proper to oppose to a lady's argument." Wally replied in a fake British accent.
"And so is not helping your friend." Gar retorted.
"She's my friend too Gar." Wally said matter-of-factly.
"Whatever."
Ding! Ding!
The doorbell sounded finishing the argument.
"It has to be Richard." Rachel said calmly.
"Richard!" Wally yelled surprised "What time is it?"
"Twenty past five." Gar answered checking his watch.
"Shit! I should have been home an hour ago!" Wally said "Roy is so going to kill me, I was supposed to watch over the twins while he was away!"
"How could you forget that?" Asked Rachel with a quirked eyebrow.
"I was enjoying myself here, I just forgot about it." Wally replied rounding the table to stand between Rachel and Gar "I'll see you later guys." He said quickly taking Gar's hand and shaking it and giving a quick kiss on the cheek to the unsuspecting Rachel before racing to the front door.
"Flash, let's go!" Flash was instantly rushing through the dog door and at his master's side.
Wally opened the front door to find Richard waiting outside the house with Robin at his side. The red-haired boy ran past him as fast as he could not turning around as he yelled.
"Hi Rich! Bye Rich!"
"Uhh… See ya?" Asked Richard watching Wally disappear in his car.
"Hey Rich!" Richard looked back at the door to see Gar smiling at him "How you doin'?"
"Fine, a little tired but I'll live."
"Hi Robin." Gar greeted the dog, Robin barked in return.
"Come in, we'll start right away." Richard went into the house and looked around "Rachel! Wake up! Richard is here!"
Rachel was still seated on the chair she had been using for the last two hours, her hand was on her cheek and her eyes distant just looking ahead; Wally's action was so unexpected that she didn't know what to do at the moment.
She knew he had kissed her cheek just out of habit, or maybe just because he was in such a hurry to go back home; that had nothing to do with what Gar had told her earlier that day. Wally didn't like her, she was sure of it. Besides, she had to work, she couldn't let herself get distracted by anything or anyone.
The only thing she had to admit was that Wally was a great person to be with, he was funny and all. Sometimes it resulted in it being harder to believe he was Roy's cousin, they were so different…
"Earth calling Rachel!" Rachel woke up from her daze and saw Gar waving a hand in front of her face "We've got work to do."
"Yeah, sorry." Rachel said blushing as she rose from her seat to go and greet Richard.
"Is there some kind of problem?" Richard asked watching Rachel and Gar approaching.
"Not at all, we're glad you came." Rachel answered.
"Just as I promised." Richard replied with a light smile.
"Well then, let's get started." Gar entered the conversation "Follow me please."
Gar led the way to the consulting room with Richard and Rachel in tow. Robin looked from his master to the female vet and felt that something was going to happen there, it was just his sixth sense kicking in, but the dog couldn't tell if it was something good or not.
