Thread: Lights, Action, and Hidden Cameras (Marisa & Swordsman18)

Her father came home at around 12 am, having ended the night early to see if Jacob and Sarah were getting along since he figured that were the only two people were at the house though he did not find either of them when he had arrived home. Sarah had left a note like a good girl and he knew where she was exactly. He knew she was going to be back in the morning so he was not going to worry about it too much. Jacob on the other hand was Catherine's issue to deal with. That boy seemed to be oddly protective of his mother and his family but the way he went about it was odd. For one, Jacob had him lying to both his daughter and his sister. Jacob had not just paid rent for a couple of months, he had paid him enough to cover rent for approximately 18 months and that even included their part of the utilities. He had explained that it was better that Catherine think it was only a couple of months so that she tried to get everything together without falling into complacency. Logan understood that was a good idea but only had one question in return. Where Jacob had gotten the money from. His brain was too fuzzy to think of the response but it was believable and Jacob showed him blood tests taken from just before the move to prove her was not on something or selling drugs. So that was one relief, but still Logan felt it odd to protect your family from the shadows like that and to that degree. Logan headed to Catherine's room to find her fast asleep on her bed, he then put the blanket over her and tuck his sister in before heading to bed himself. When Jacob returned later on that night, he found her note and then the key. He nodded and understood that this was important. It at least gave him a plan for the morning. After reading it, he placed the key in his wallet took a shower and then went to bed. At 7 am, he was gone once more. He went to the town bank, where he opened up an account for their most secure safety deposit box. In it, he placed the key and note that she had given him. The teller locked it up looking at him curiously, Just something important needs to be kept safe. He told her. I understand, people keep all kind of things in safety deposit boxes. He smiled at her, Yes they do, but this thing is not really for me, it is to keep hope alive for a relative of mine. Anyway, can I pay for the next decade for the box? Why yes of course but it is a little unorthodox. She told him as her heels clicked along the vault floor next to him while his steps were pretty close to being silent. Jacob was beaming inside at her little comment on it. Well when you have the funds and something is really important it is always good to get these things done. A small laugh came from the teller as they walked out of the vault and back to the regular business counters where he promptly paid to keep it safe for at least the next ten years. Thank you Sir for your business. Is there anything I can help you with? No that will be all Melanie, have a good day. I may be back next week or so. Jacob exited the bank to head over back to Starbucks where he had breakfast and then got to work on his computer playing some computer games and doing other business to make sure all he was doing was financially sound.
