Fallbrook

Jack stayed with his parents last night, but things with his father were not on good terms. His father was not happy with his decision to leave for the city. His father wanted him to stay and help him with the family farm. Jack was living in an apartment near his parent's farm. Jack wanted to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a detective. His dream is coming true. He takes the boxes with him outside the house, sees that his father is burning some boxes in front of the farm, and Jack walks up to him. When he comes close to him, he sees his father burning his grandfather's case file among them.

Jack started screaming and pulling the files out of the fire.

It's his life's work, "Dad." Why did you do it? Why "dad" Jack says, "How can you do that?"

I burned it because of this. "He never came back to us," "Jack." His father says, "I don't want to lose you. I can't let you go down the same path he did. He lost the way. "

You are crazy, "dad," you are crazy. Do you hear me? " "Dad, "Jack says while putting water on the fire.

Jack and his mother stopped the fire from spreading. Luckily, Jack saved some files, paper, and newspaper cuttings from the fire and put them in one of the boxes.

Jack puts them in the car. Jack drives off. He arrives at the apartment building. He saw a woman standing in the parking lot. She was looking upset, but Jack went inside the building without talking to her. He got inside the apartment. Jack sits on the chair and stares at the boxes. He didn't know when he fell asleep. An hour later, he gets up from the chair and sits on the floor. One by one, he is taking things out of the box. Jack saw a newspaper cutting in the box. He takes it out of the box and looks at the newspaper for a minute. He gets up and goes to the computer table. He turns on the computer and starts browsing the internet. He did not find anything on it. Meanwhile, he hears knocks at the door. He goes to the door and opens it. His mother was standing outside the door.

What are you doing here? "Jack asks her mother."

"I can't come to the apartment," Mrs. Stone says to him.

Come on, you know what I mean, "Jack says to her,"

"You didn't ask me to come in," Mrs. Stone tells him.

You know, "mom," do you think you need permission to come to my apartment? Why are you here? "Jack says" to her.

Mrs. Stone says to him, "I know you are upset with your father, but you know he has very mysterious ways of telling you that he loves you."

I don't need his mysterious ways. I want him to tell me that he loves me as normal parents do. Anyway, why are you here? " Jack asks her.

I just want to check on you and how you are holding up, and I want to remind you that some of the clothes in those boxes did not fit you, "Mr. Stone says to him.

Seriously, mom, I know you didn't have to tell me. Why are you here? "Jack asks her mother again."

"I brought your favorite cookies," Mrs. Stone says to him.

While they are talking, someone again knocks at the door. Mrs. Stone goes to the door. She opens it. Jack tries to stop her, but it is too late. Leah goes inside the apartment. She did not bother to greet her mother. Mrs. Stone looks at Jack and smiles.

"She is hot," Mrs. Stone says to her.

Mom, can you please tell me why you are here now? Actually, I don't want to know. "Can you leave now?" Jack asks his mother.

I have planned a whole day for us where I will stay here with you, cook healthy food for you and meet your friends or girlfriends. "By the way, I am this nice young man's mother, and you are," Mrs. Stone says to Leah.

My name is Leah. I am not his friend. I just live in this building, "Leah says to Mrs. Stone."

"Mm,.. my mistake, so you are living here alone or with someone?" Mrs. Stone asks her.

"Yes, I am living with my boyfriend, Oli, but he dumped me," Leah says to her.

Enough of this interrogation. You said that you are here to make healthy food for me, so there is the kitchen. "Go and surprise me," Jack says to her mother.

Jack pulses her hand and takes her to the kitchen. "Jack places Leah in a corner and apologizes for her mother's actions." Leah drops to the floor and starts looking into the boxes. While she was taking things from the boxes, Jack comes to her and stops her.

What are you doing? "Jack asks Leah."

I am here to welcome you to your new home. "Jack," Leah says, "people didn't bring their mothers, but I think you are unique." What is she doing here?

I think it's not concerning you. I want you to go home, "Jack says to Leah.

Jack takes her outside the apartment and locks her out. She screams and calls his name.

You are making friends really fast here. "Jack," his mother says, is a beautiful young girl. Do you know his boyfriend? "

She was my college friend. She has lived there since graduation. Jack says to her mother. Oliver is my best friend. He told me about this place. I was having trouble finding accommodation. "

Why did he dump her? " "Jack, "his mother says," Don't look at me. I am just curious.

I don't know. "Tell me why you are here," Jack asks his mother.

You are upset because of the incident. "I am angry too, but he doesn't want you to be hurt," his mother says to him.

Everyone told me that my grandfather left my dad and grandmother when my dad was in high school. "Mom," Jack says, "I don't understand. He is gone because he doesn't want to be with his family. So why is he blaming his job for it?" My grandfather was a good policeman. He solved many cases, and you remember how he saved your aunt, Casey when everybody lost hope, but he brought her home safe.

Yes, I know, he was a hero in our town. "Jack," his mother says, "Everybody loved him." Why was he so angry with him?'

Did my dad hate that he was a police officer? " Jack asks for her mother."

I don't know. He never discussed with me the family drama. "Jack," his mother says, "I also don't want to make your father sad. I was there the day he left, and that day broke him. I am going to sleep in the other room."

"Yes, we will talk later," Jack says to his mother while lying on the sofa.
