Secrets, Lies & iMPACT

(Arrival at the iMPACT Zone)

Parking my rental I climbed out and got Tyler sqaured away. Getting Tyler's Spiderman backpack and my bag from the back, Tyler jumped out with a huge smile plastered on his face. Chuckling I closed the door and locked the car before holding Ty's hand. Walking into the iMPACT zone we walked down a few coridoors before Tyler spotted two of his wrestling uncles. Breaking his hand away from mine he immediately sprinted towards them with me chasing behind. For a three year old the boy's fast. Thank god I was wearing my Vans and not heels.

"UNCLE AJ...UNCLE JEFF!"

As I rushed around the corner I saw AJ pick Tyler up in his arms and lightly tickle him. That child's gonna be the death of me I swear.

"Tyler Joshua Allen what did I tell you about running off. You know its dangerous back here with all the cables and wires. You could've fallen". I started folding my arms.

"Sorry mommy I got a little excited. It won't happen again promise". Tyler said sad.

"Come on Lex give him a break its only his first offence". Jeff returned pleading a little.

"Yeah Lex, he won't do it again". AJ chipped in.

"Fine I'll let you off this time Ty". I gave in.

While Jef was tickling Tyler in a tickle war AJ and I were talking.

"So where's Brad?" AJ asked.

"He took our cases to the hotel, he should be here in five". I replied not taking my eyes off Tyler incase he decided to start a race again. "So how are you AJ? How's Wendy and the boys?"

AJ sighed which immediately made me take my eyes away from Ty and give him my full attanetion. AJ's one of my best friends and I could tell when something was wrong and there was definately something wrong.

"What's going on Allen?" I asked using his real name to show my seriousness.

"Its a long story Lex". He shrugged looking down at the floor.

"Hey Jeff can you watch Ty for a while?" I asked as he nodded.

Giving Jeff Tyler's bag I put mine in my office before AJ and I sat down and had a heart to heart.
