DNA Test (2)

Mr. Pickens left us to go find the paperwork while we headed for the exit. Just outside, two familiar faces were standing around, talking. Jack Patterson and his lawyer. The sound of the doors opening and closing got their attention.

Mrs. Atkins shot them a glare before leading me and her husband to a shady spot under the tree. The closer we got to summer, the warmer it got.

"Excuse me." A deep masculine voice said. We all turned to see Jack walking our way.

Mrs. Atkins reacted, taking a step towards him, but by doing so, she was also blocking me. "What is it?"

"I just wanted to come over and introduce myself properly." I heard him say. "I'm Jack Patterson. Uncle to Jeremy."

"And to Jake. You're an uncle to Jake too." Mrs. Atkins stated.

"We can't be too sure just yet." He replied. My heartbeat got loud. "We'll have the DNA tested today so I would like to ask if you could have Jake tested today as well."
