After the party…

Britney finished hugging Sam, Clover and Alex.

Then she saw Mr. and Mrs. Barrows,

"It was great seeing you two again."

"Likewise Britney."

"Hmm, where's Jason?"

"He's still back there."

"Most likely cleaning up afterwards. Psshh, he's got a work ethic I didn't have at his age." Dylan chuckled.

"May I go see him?"

"Sure."

"Oay"

Almost everyone left except Jason who stayed behind to help clean up. He got a lot of party supplies and is now restacking the chairs. He thought he was alone until he heard somebody.

"Hi…do you have any room for another clean-up person."

"Uh…Sure." Jason

Britney helped take a few of the streamers and supplies into the box, while Jason unplugged some strobe lights from the sockets.

Britney knelt next to him.

"That was a great gift you got for Jerry."

Jason shrugged. "Thanks, I'm glad I got it for him."

"I never saw you here at WOOHP before."

"Well, I've been kind of new here. My dad is a WOOHP agent and Combat Instructor."

Britney knew who Jason was talking about but wanted to ask him anyway.

"That's so cool. What's his name?"

Jason feeling a sense of warmth and trust towards her said, "Dylan Barrows"

"Oh wow!"

"What about your mother?"

"She's one of the scientists at WOOHP."

"Theresa Barrows?"

"How did you know?"

"She was one of my instructors here."

"Ah"

"She told me she had a son, that wouldn't happen to be you would it?" She questioned with a teasing inflection

"I guess that checks off the possibility that I'm her son then." Jason chuckled.

Britney giggled.

"Nice. I'm so sorry that I didn't introduce myself earlier, I'm Britney Akiwara."

"No worries, I forgot to ask" Jason shrugged. "I'm Jason."
