16: My Uncle Joe

After Harvey's investigation into what was up with his Uncle Bobby, he was now sitting pestering Jack, to learn more about his deceased, Uncle Joe.

"When did he die?" Asks Harvey

"12th August 1944, he was a pilot during World War II, he was 29 when he died, I was 27 at the time it happened,"

"Did you get to bury him?"

"No, we didn't get to unfortunately because his remains were never found,"

"So, how old would he be if he survived?"

"He would be 51, this year on 25th July," replied Jack

"Six days until my birthday?"

"Yeah, it is,"

"Even though I've never met him before, Uncle Joe seems like a pretty cool guy,"

"Yeah, he was,"

"Do you have any pictures of him?"

"Why, do you want one?"

"Maybe,". After the conversation with his Dad about his Uncle Joe, Harvey went to fetch his Uncle Robert (McNamara), he entered his office, to his surprise Robert wasn't in his office, so he then started to check the rooms surrounding the Secretary of State's office trying to find his 'uncle', after a tiring search he gave up looking for Robert, he started to wander outside of the building, where he was met with Secret Service agents, who stood expressionless, one stopped in front of Harvey blocking the entrance to the outside, and asked the little boy:

"Where do you think you're going, Master Harvey?"

"Outside," he replied being very specific

"Are you allowed to go?"

"I dunno, I didn't ask,"

"Well, I think you should,"

"Well, I think you should stop telling me what to do, because I live here and you don't," Harvey said sassily, being a little Sass Queen. After the sassy encounter with the Secret Service agents, Harvey managed to sneak outside. Why was he running off? Because he wanted to check if his Uncle Robert was outside if he wasn't in his office. After searching outside to try and find Robert, which to no avail he didn't find who he was looking for, he headed back inside with no luck.
