*now where’s the glass of milk*<\/p>\n
Sylum Snippet!<\/p>\n
He folded the newspaper down, glanced at the plate and glass set in front of him.<\/p>\n
Oreos and a glass of milk.<\/p>\n
Every alarm bell in his head went off, something was wrong.\u00a0 He folded the paper set it on the table next to the plate, folded his hands on the table, and then looked over at his grandmother.\u00a0 \u00a0The woman was a Saint, no really … a Saint, she always was damn good at making sure to get her way.\u00a0 \u00a0Stubborn as hell, which obviously runs in the family, considering his own damn stubborn streak.<\/p>\n
“Av\u00f3.”<\/p>\n
“Peter dear.”<\/p>\n
He made the sign of the cross.\u00a0 “Holy Mother come to my aid.”<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes, but laughed lightly.\u00a0 “You are to suspicious my dear Peter.”<\/p>\n
“It’s saved me many times.”\u00a0 He gave her a pointed look.\u00a0 “You brought me milk and cookies.\u00a0 Obviously, what you have to tell me is sudden, or it would be Pastal de nata, and I know the cook is off today.”<\/p>\n
“You love Oreos and I can’t just spoil my favorite grandson?”\u00a0 She reached over and took a cookie and dipped it into the milk.<\/p>\n
“Don’t make me call Wenceslaus.”\u00a0 Peter grabbed his own cookie, pulled it apart and licked the creamy filling.\u00a0 “Just tell me.”<\/p>\n
“Aguilar called,” she paused for a moment then took a deep breath.\u00a0 “Jamie is helping a kid, who according to all his teachers will be an Olympic Fencer.”<\/p>\n
Peter had learned patience over the past few centuries, but so far he had no idea what this had to do with him.<\/p>\n
“His name is Marcus, and he’s a spitting image of you when you were an annoying teenager…”<\/p>\n
“I have a descendant?”\u00a0 He stared at Elizabeth in shock.\u00a0 “Tell me more … “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
