"Hey! Tio!" carina beamed as she bounced twords him using the spanish word for uncle ....she flopped down next to him and he hooked his arm around her...weist as she planted a huge kiss on his cheek... "whats up rina? Why tje hell did you drive all the way here in this heat?" he asked she smiled sweetly at him "icant just visit my loving tio?" she asked...he rolled his eyes just then he hers someone else walk in..he almost choked when he saw who it was..he realized. He turned his wrinkled face and smiled in delight.“Benjamin!” He greeted, “thank god you’re here!”“Morning Mr Daniels,” Ben took stock of all the boxes, and all scrap metal and machine parts that littered the cramped garage. “What uh, what do you need help with exactly?”The old man waved a dismissive hand at the chaos around him. “I’m working on a brand new project and I need all of this cleared away.”“What is,” Ben gestured to the boxes, “ all of this?”“Prototypes, failed experiments…junk, in. Is there some place we can talk privately?”“Of course! Please follow me into the kitchen.”Joe made his way to follow when the woman said to him, “Not you honey.”Joe assumed, incorrectly of course, that since he was only the step father they simply wanted to speak with their mother.Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the officers explained the situation to Carol.“So basically Ma’am, your youngest daughter has been skipping school for quite some time. If she isn’t in class tomorrow morning, she will be. But I'm not totally convinced that she's ready for something like this. I resolve to keep an eye on her. If she's really up for this then that's fine by me. But if she shows the slightest sign of discomfort we'll be taking a cab back to the hotel.I needn't have worried. Those women were having a ball. To make certain, though, I went over to Andrea and told her that if she'd like we can catch a taxi. She doesn't have to do everything these people do. And I made it clear that she better not be.
