Apologies and surrender

Jones mansion.

" How dare you lie to me?" Grandpa Jones shouted slamming the table in front of him.

" Dad calm down." Jackie said before holding his fathers shoulders which were trembling out of anger.

William took a deep breath and said," He was in his college all the time."

" And what makes you think that I'll believe you?" Grandpa Jones shouted.

When William did not say anything, Grandpa Jones said," Your son nearly killed someone and yet you are trying to hide his crime? Instead of punishing him and thrashing him and making him understand that what he did was wrong and bad, you are trying to protect him?"

" He is still small and it was a mistake." William said trying very hard to keep his son away from the mess.

" So you know what he did." Grandpa Jones said.
