Nightwatch Ch. 02: Suburban Bliss

... we'll probably end up there at 8 p.m."

"Very cool." I gushed. I'd read the series, but hadn't seen the videos yet.

"The streets are all great for trick or treating, but we usually travel in a bit of a group and circle back here -- should be in a half an hour or so."

"Awesome, thank you!"

"You know, we've never really seen you two around much since we've moved here a few years ago. Is it safe to say Luca is forcing you out of your comfort zone? Believe me, I'd rather be having a beer and watching college football tonight, but duty calls." He smiled at me with sparkly blue eyes, and I could feel the sincerity wafting from his soul, like a warm, sweet breath.

I smiled back at him.

"Yes. Definitely out of our comfort zone. Suzie has her own company that's based out of our home, and I work remotely for a manufacturer in New York. We're always so busy and sometimes forget when the town get-togethers are. Sorry about that."

"No worries! Sounds like you have your hands full. And now you have a little one at home."

"Yes. A surprise indeed."

I looked in the man's eyes. I hadn't realized a human man, merely forty years old could be so empathetic and wise.

I've been alive for eons more than him, but the way he spoke once again renewed my confidence in humanity and very nearly put me to shame.

"Thanks, Josh."

We walked back to our families.

Suzie and I both bought a raffle ticket. The woman manning the station had her eyes wide open as she recognized us as the creepy couple who lived in a castle on the hill.

Well, if I'd known we would end up fostering Luca, I'd obviously have chosen a more conservative home. As it was though, our century there would have been over in almost three decades. A blink of an eye, really. Then we would have moved quietly to another part of the world.

The backstory I'd told Josh about our jobs was a load of bullshit we'd fabricated when we'd sat down to prepare for the financial responsibility part of adopting Luca. In reality, I'd just been filthy rich for over a thousand years and had caches of money across at least seven countries we could draw from. Suzie had compounded my fortune when we'd met with her genius.

Lying was easier though.

I approached Suzie to take her hand.

"Darling!" Suzie spoke excitedly. "Sandy was saying that she makes a wonderful pecan pie and wouldn't we like to come to ...
