- I guess that's them - I said to Will, but he didn't answer. - Hey, I said...
- I know. Shut up. Should we go there, or wait? I'm freaking out... That's my son. That's my boy...
I sighed and just started walking. Will after a confusing mont of attempting to move, stoping, and finally looking at , followed.
- I didn't know what to say! - he strained through clenched teeth.
- You will figure sothing out. Just follow.
We didn't have to wait long for a reaction from them. They spotted us quickly as we were the only people moving towards them with intent.
- Dad?! - yelled the boy.
He had jeans and a white shirt with a black tie. Standard pot haircut of brown hair, and facial features similar to his father.
- Dustin! - shouted Will.
The boy reacted imdiately, separating from his mother, and ran straight at will. Will did the sa. They t after few ters, and the father grabbed his son, then picked him up, hugging tightly. I kept moving, to assu a position two steps behind Will, slightly on his right side.
The guys in suits, Elaine, and the new boyfriend followed. He looked like a family man with a checked shirt, glasses, and short haircut.
Elaine had a nice light blue dress, a white hat covering her brown hair, and pair of sunglasses. She looked at , while Will and Dustin chartered about how much did they miss each other.
- Hi... Uhm... I didn't introduce myself the last ti... I'm Elaine - she extended a hand, and I shook it.
- Peter.
- Josh - her boyfriend did the sa, thing, but I ignored him.
He awkwardly retracted his hand. She noticed that but did her best to ignore it.
- This is agent Wolf Linton - she pointed to one of the guys in suits.
He had dark blonde hair, a bit longer, and wavy. He was tall and I would risk calling him handso.
- And this is agent Zander Grant - she continued, turning and pointing politely with her whole hand at the second guy.
He had short dark hair and a very squared face. He was slightly taller than his partner and better built. Had broader shoulders.
- Agent Wolf Linton, CIA - the first one introduced himself extending a hand, which I shook.
- Zander Grant, also CIA - said the second, ad did the sa.
- Peter.
- You are the guy who was outside during the first days of gate appearance, arent you? - asked Wolf.
- Yep, that's .
- Might we ask what were you doing? - asked Zander.
- Sure.
There was an awkward silence before they caught that they actually have o ask the question.
- So what were you doing? - asked Wolf
- Magic - I winked at him and turned to the boy. - Do I have to wait a whole day to finally be introduced to you son?
- Oh, yes - said Will. - Dustin, this is Peter, my friend. Peter, this is Dustin.
- HI, Peter.
- Sup, man - I high fived him.
- Are you a wizard? - he suddenly asked . - I've seen you on TV doing so strange thing in front of the gate.
- Yep. I'm a wizard.
- Can you show so magic?
- Why don't you ask your dad to show you magic? He can do so cool stuff.
- Can you, dad? - he turned to Will.
He dropped his son and used 'Telekinesis' to make him levitate in the air, then moved him around a bit. The kid was amazed. His eyes got wide open, just like his mouth. Will was gentle, and flew him around so more, before putting him slowly on the ground.
- That was soo cool, dad!
- I told you. Your father is a cool man - I said to him.
- How about you show us around? - Elaine spoke to Will.
- Yeah, sure. First of all, you need to go there - he pointed towards the offices I noticed earlier - and receive a permit.
- We will show them - said Wolf, and with a gesture invited the family to follow him.
Josh grabbed Dustin's hand and went after the agent. The two of us stayed and waited for them to return.
- I think it went great - I said to Will after they were far enough to not hear us.
- Yeah... Thank you, Peter. I was so damn afraid...
- No worries. I'm here for you. By the way, you want to get rid of the dude who stole your family?
He turned to look in the face.
- Don't joke like that. Especially when Dustin is around.
- Ok, fine.
Will sighed.
- I'm gonna win my son back fair and square.
- What about the wife?
- I don't know... I think it's too late for that...
- Ok. If you need anything, like for example to get rid of Josh, then just say a word.
He looked at again, ash shook his head. I noticed that he was slightly smiling, though.
- So... What's the plan? Are you gonna show them around, and then Velvet Lotus?
- Yeah... Sothing like that.
- You should definitely show your kid your sword stuff. Right now he needs to focus on how cool you are, rather than the fact you weren't around for quite a while. You need to buy yourself ti and be around him.
He nodded.
- I know. I'm not gonna fuck it up for the second ti.
- As I said, if you need anything, just say a word.
- Thanks, Peter.
The door from one of the offices opened, and all of them stepped outside holding tal badges. The family went towards us, surrounded from both sides by the agents.
- We have the badges - inford Elaine. - By the way, this is Josh. We are together.
- Hi, I'm Will. I used to be Elaine's husband - Will extended a hand, and Josh shook it.
- I know. She told about you a lot.
Will nodded. The situation beca a bit awkward.
- Ok, let's go sightseeing then - I had to step in. - I'm not the best tour guide around, but I'm sure Will can show you everything interesting in the city.
- Ark - said Josh.
- What?
- We voted on the city na when you were... Away... - explained Will.
- Oh. Ark, huh?
- We were saved by this place, so the Ark seed like the right na. Anyway, let's go. How about we start with the main attraction, the device?
- Yes! I want to see it! - shouted Dustin.
Elain quickly covered his mouth with her hand, but the kid still kept talking.
- Follow then - said Will, and we left the hall.
