Prompt #17: Aging neighbor calls police thinking pot is being grown

Pairing: JeRyan <3

______________________________

Jerome's PoV:

Ahh. Another peaceful day. Ryan at work, and the twins were playing in the backyard while I tended to the garden. Yes I said garden. I had to occupy my time somehow.

Amelia had since come over, and was looking at the pretty flowers I planted just for her. "What are those ones, daddy?" She asked, pointed to a row of flowers that hadn't bloomed yet.

"Those are marigolds, hun. They need lots and lots of sunlight, and then they'll open up and be beautiful." I smiled, and she looked in awe.

"Daddy! There is someone who wants to talk to you!" Lucas called, and I looked up, seeing him with a police officer and a dog. I stood up, and speed walked over.

"You two go play," I told the twins, and they scampered off. "Now what seems to be the problem, officer?" I asked, taking off my gloves.

He opened up a notepad, and read from it. "Jerome McNulty, we had a complaint filed by one of your neighbors, saying that you were growing marijuana in your garden." He looked at me and I groaned.

"It was Mrs. Heart, wasn't it?" He checked the pad again, and nodded. "Officer, she's been losing her sight for years, and has been going a bit senile. Have your dog go crazy, I don't have any pot."

He did as I said, and after a half hour of combing the backyard, and the house, we came up clean.

"My sincerest apologies Mr. McNulty." He nodded, and left.

"You're damned right you're sorry" I muttered under my breath, glaring at his back, then at the fence separating my yard from Mrs. Heart's.
