Two years later…
Detective Liam Niles, sitting in his room at his desk, holding
his trench coat of arms button to view it close , thinking of its
symbolic memory as he places it back into his pocket.
Two year old Devon goes to stand next to his father to
observe what’s in his hands.
Liam turns to see his son. “There you are me son. Come
here.” He lifts him up onto his lap. “And what do you have
here? A new toy sword your Uncle Trey and Aunt Lauren gave
you. To slay the dragons with.”
Devon’s innocent eyes upon his father for answer. “Daddy,
what is a ‘kiss mommy’?”
Liam clarified. “Oh, you saw us. Yes me son. When I kiss your
mum, it’s like going into a magical place that I never want to
leave. And in between your mother and me, is where you
came from. A world of loving magic. And, there is a place
called reality that we must live in daily.” He takes the toy
sword to show him. “Then we take up the sword to fight off
the mean dragons. I shall protect you, mummy, grandma and
grandpa, with this castle with my life. And you shall take over
one day.” He kisses his forehead.
Pastor Drake came walking in. “There you are my grandson.”
He picks him up from Liam’s lap. “Grandma told me to give
this to you, a token of God’s love. “ He gives him a small piece
of soft candy.
Devon swiftly Takes it from his grandfather’s fingers, puts in
in his mouth.
Tauna enters into the room, gives Liam a curious look.
Liam showed her the wooden sword. “ I must continue to
fight with my sword.”
Tauna, with a wry smile. “Oh, he showed you his new toy.”
Liam concurred. “Yes, very valiant, I’d say.”
Tauna lovingly looked into eyes. “Just like his father.”
Liam smirks his dimples wide. Gives the toy back to his son. “
Oh, and I almost forgot. My Brother Trey’s new wife is now in
the pudding club. They will be arriving soon.” The doorbell
rings. He gets up from his chair to answer the door. “Brother
Trey and Lauren. Come in, you’re just in time for a new
assignment.”
Trey enters inside with his with wife and grinned. “You know
I’m always ready.”
Lauren stood with a grin.
