A Favor

Ch 1

Eric stood in Merlotte's waiting as Bill talked to Sookie. Pam glanced at the door as Eric shrugged.

"Maybe she isn't coming." Pam said as Eric gave her a glare.

"She'll be here. When I talked to her she said she'd come."

"You trust that witch far to much." Bill walked towards them.

"I'm ready." Pam and Eric escorted him out the of bar as Sookie watched in shock.

"Sookie, are you ok?" Arlene asked.

"I just need a minute." Sookie said turning on her heel and hurrying out back. Eric drove and 20 minutes later they pulled into a large parking lot. Back at Merlotte's a red head came rushing through the door with a young boy holding her hand.

"Is Sookie Stackhouse here?" She asked Sam.

"Sure, let me get her." Sam walked out back to see Sookie pacing back and forth. "Sook, a woman's here to see you." Sookie took a deep breath and hurried back inside.

"I'm Sookie, how can I help you?"

"Eric asked me to come down to help with Bill."

"Eric took him already. Bill said that I couldn't go."

"That's true. Vampires hate humans to be at their trials."

"But you-"

"I'm a witch. Due to Eric contacting me early this morning I had to bring my son. Can you watch him while I go sort this out?"

"I'm workin now I get off in an hour, but if he'll be ok sitting in a booth I'm sure it will be fine."

"I'm Kerrie and this is Declan."

"Nice to meet yea." Kerrie got Declan settled quickly then hurried off. Sam walked over to the table as Sookie went to go check on her other tables.

"Hi little man."

"Hi, I'm Declan." He said looking up from his coloring book.

"Your mom is helping Sookie, right?"

"Yea, vampire Eric asked for her help."

"I'm Sam, Sookie's boss." Declan nodded and looked into his bag for something. "Do you need help?"

"No, thank you." Declan said.

"How old are you?"

"I'm six years old. My birthday was last week. Mommy is taking me to Disney World soon."

"Wow, that sounds like fun." Declan nodded happily.

"My auntie Kayte is gonna go to and nana and pa."

"Your one lucky little boy."

"I wish I had a daddy though. I sometimes call my uncle Danny daddy." Sam's smile faded when he saw the boy was sad.

"What are you coloring?"

"Buzz Lightyear he's my favorite from Toy Story."

"Do you want something to eat or drink?"

"Some juice please."

"Ok, be right back."

Sam walked back to the bar shaking his head. That little boy was a full blooded were and he knew for a fact the women that brought him in wasn't. This was a mystery he wanted to solve while this family was in town.
