Protecting Mr. Wimp

Chapter 27

“Mrs. Travis, wait up!” Gina called out to her, walking in quick steps to catch up with her.

Mrs. Travis stopped and turned around, giving her a warm smile she waited as Gina came up to her and stood in front of her, "Is there something wrong, dear?"

Gina smiled at her and shook her head, "No, Mrs. Travis, I just wanted to ask you something. If you're not busy?"

"No, I'm not. What did you want to ask?"

"Well, do you know what makes Michael mad?"

Mrs. Travis was stunned to hear her question, "Why would you want to know that?"

She sighed exasperatedly and suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, why does everyone ask her the same stupid question? Can't they just answer her with a real answer instead of answering her with a question of their own?

She forced a smile, "Just curious." She didn't want anyone to know her plan, and it looked like they didn't want to give up.

She gave her a nod, accepting her reply, "Okay. Well, there was this time when this boy..." Her expression changed into a thoughtful one, "I don't really remember his name, but... he usually got Michael really mad. I don't know what he did to get him mad, but that's all I remember."

She internally gritted her teeth in irritation and was almost ready to yank her hair out. How the hell was she going to find out about 'this boy'? Did anyone knew anything at all?! They were living with Michael since he was born, yet still they didn't knew him at all! Even his own mother?!

She forced another smile and said through her teeth, "Okay, Mrs. Travis, thanks."

Mrs. Travis smiled at her, as she turned and started to walk away but not before hearing Mrs. Travis call out to her again, "Wait a minute, dear!" She turned, "You could ask Matthew about this boy, he knows about the boy that was in Michael's high school and I think Matthew can help you contact him too, if that helps."

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, now who the hell was Matthew? "Alright..."

Mrs. Travis noticed her confused expression and let out a short laugh, "Oh, how could I forget? You don't know who Matthew is, do you?" She shook her head, "It's Mr. Travis." She smiled at her.

Recognition flashed across her face and she beamed at her, "Thank you, Mrs. Travis!"

"Anytime!"

Still grinning she turned around, excitement bubbling up inside her. Now she's getting somewhere, maybe 'this boy' can actually help her! She almost let out a squeal. This was just fantastic! Maybe her search will finally come to an end! Let's just hope Mr. Travis actually remember's something about 'this boy'.

Time to hunt down Mr. Travis.

"Hey, Mr. Travis!" She chirped.

He abruptly spun around and sighed in relief, "Goodness dear, you almost gave me a heart attack." She has been doing that a lot hasn't she?

She let out an awkward laugh, "Sorry,"

He smiled at her, "It's alright. But, is there something wrong? Did you want anything?"

She blinked at him, a bit shocked, "Yeah, um, I actually wanted to ask you something."

"Well then, go ahead."

"Is there something that makes Michael mad? Mrs. Travis said that there was a boy that used to infuriate him a lot, but she doesn't remember her name. I was hoping that you knew something about him."
