The Ambush
Dave and Javier drove away once they were done with their talk. Jasmine was cool. They didn't think she would get along well with them but to their surprise, things turned out better than they expected.
Dave drove while Javier played games on his phone. In front of them, they could see another Jip which had Jasmine, Max, and Beau in it. " Are you alright? Things didn't quite go as we expected it to be." Dave's voice broke Javier's concentration. He looked up from his phone.
" Since I have done all that I could, I have no complaints. I am grateful that he gave me a chance to explain myself. I expected too much from our meeting. Both good and bad. Alas, I shouldn't have had any expectations. He is no longer the little guy I fell in love with."
There was a sense of loss from the tone he used. Javier recalled Beau's face when he spoke to him. There was no trace of emotions. He had thought that Beau would at least hate him. Yet, even that was too much to give.
