Alan: Wow what a change of time. Last night you were the king and now the tides have turned.

Brad: stop talking like Dorothy and let’s go back.

Brad and Alan reach Brad’s home. Brad’s dad was waiting for him.

Mr. Penn: Brad aren’t you two late for school?

Alan: The session starts from January Mr Penn. At the moment, the students who didn’t pass at the finals at October are regiving their exams.

Mr.Penn: Your best friend is quite smart unlike you Bradd. I will be out for a month. I hope you two will look after the house while I’m gone .

Alan: Well ofcourse Mr Penn. Mrs Penn always treats me like Bradd. I remember I stayed for a week at May. You were gone at your workplace.

Mr.Penn: Your father speaks highly of you.And I heard your sister is at Colorado. Send her my best wishes son.

Alan: Ofcourse Mr Penn I will. She will be happy to know you wished her.

Mr. Penn: She is a bright young girl and so you are. Kids nowadays don’t know what is like not to have a mother. These two of mine have been children since Maggie stayed as a housewife. But you two on the other hands are so disciplined and responsible. (Bradd looks At Alan with a laugh)

Brad: Ok Pops, you must be late.

Mr.Penn: Ya I am. But where is your sister. Maggie will shout me at the phone.

Brad: She is at Dorothy’s.

Mr.Penn: Dorothy. Ahh she is a smart girl. I hope Jane doesn’t irritate her. I wish you would love your sister Brad then she wouldn’t go there. Tell her to go back home. I will leave now. I wish you guys a happy new year as I won’t be around.

Alan: Happy new year Mr.Penn and have a safe journey.

Mr.Penn: Ok Alan bye. Bye Brad. Take care of your mother and sister son.

Brad; Ok Pop. Bye

Mr Penn leaves

Mrs. Penn: Has your father already left?

Brad: Ya mom.

Mrs .Penn: Dorothy called me that Jane is in her house. Is she Alan? ( staring)

Lan: Well sort of.

Mrs .Penn: You know your father was a boxer back at his young days Bradd.

Brad: Come on mom. She will come. She is with her some friend.

Mrs. Penn: Well Alan can you say the truth.

Brad: She is not a child mom. Plus she will bore me if she is caught.

Alan: Don’t worry Mrs Penn we know her friend. We will have breakfast and then go to her friend's place.

Mrs. Penn: Ok I have made bread and omelettes and bacon for you two.

Alan: Jee thanks Mrs Penn.

Mrs. Penn frizzles Alans’ hair as she prepares their breakfast.

They leave the house after they have their breakfast.

Brad: Why did you lie to Mom?

Alan: I had no choice. Your mom was worried too much bud.

Brad: She is used to that always. But dad won’t be home for a month. But if dad found that I lied he will ground me for a week, Last time Jane didn’t come home for 2 days. She was grounded for a week

Alan: don’t worry. It won’t come to that.

Brad: You don’t know my dad very well. His brother Uncle Benn is a sergeant in the police. He will imprison Jane’s boyfriend.

Alan: Well that would be a lovely sight wouldn’t it?

Brad: Cmon.

Alan: Those were the times when your uncle used to scare you. But we are grown ups now not that much as my sister but still we can’t handle such small things.

Brad: Nothing is small with my sister.

Alan: That is true. Jane is troublesome at times.

Brad: What now grammar is it?

Alan: Looks like Im scared. Everytime Im scared I speak good English.

Brad: That is true.( Alan smiles)

They reach the geese and contact Mark, the Geese owner. He knew the whereabouts about everyone that he knew. He even knew Brad and Alan had come back from home.

Alan: Hey Mark, are you available?

Brad: Will you stop fooling. Mark can you tell us where Jane is?

Mark: Well She left with this Jade guy in his bike.Let me call my stooges.

Brad: Stooges?

Alan: Ya Mark has 7 boys who search the city incase someone is lost.

Brad: Well that is a good thing at the time.

Mark(calls someone): Hey Bon, can you find out this Jade Wilson guy.

Alan( seeing Mark hang up the phone): Ok what did he say?

Mark: They are at his home. Do you want me to to go with you kids. If you want to beat him I will be your back up.

Brad: We are actually trying to save him from my sister.

Alan: Cmon Brad Don’t be harsh. She is still your sister. You should be worried.

Mark, Alan and Brad start walking towards Jade’s house which was some 40 minutes away from the Geese.
