Abandoned underground tunnels and buildings that were coming apart at the hinges were the last places anyone would think to take children.

He raised an eyebrow at Avery and her declaration of being invited to his lunch with Emily. That was definitely not decided on.


Ashley was going to pretend he didn't just go stand next to Avery. In her book it never happened and she could focus instead on his pointing. "Noises? Like the kind you hear in madhouses, or just that boring stuff like leaky taps?" Those didn't count. They could be kinda scary but not really and not that much. The idea of the doors did intrigue her though and she was now making plans to yank them all open.

The 9 year old wasn't even going to pay attention to her sister that was lying. Uncle Gavin didn't say they could go with him. Wasn't she listening earlier? Just look how she had Zeke riled up. He better not start acting like some excited little kid. Not like Avery or she would go exploring alone. "She's fibbing." Ashley said, after watching him go into loud protest. Shhhhhhhh! You'll scare the ghosts. Shut up. "Wait, the magizoo?" That caught her attention and for his sake he'd better hope he wasn't lying too.


N-Noises? See? She couldn't stay. There were noises. Avery was going with her uncle and they would have lunch together and she would get cake after and these two could be left here forever and she'd get all the ice-cream ever without them. The girl grinned wide when Zeke made his way to her side, returning the bump. Pity he wouldn't be coming with her, but he wanted to stay here and explore.

"Yuh-huuuuuuuh." She insisted at his protest. It was TRUE! She was going to lu--"You're coming too?" Yaaaaay! Was Ashley the only one staying then? Avery made a face at her sister for saying she was fibbing. It was NOT fibbing because she was going to pout and cry and whine until her uncle got her out of there. "Yeah, can we Uncle Gavin? Pleeeeease? We won't be any trouble! Honest!"

AND THEY WERE GOING TO THE ZOOOOOOOOO!!! "I wanna go! I do! I do!" Why were they whiiiispering? Was it a secret?? ZOO!


Not one, but TWO of them were hooked on the idea of lunch. It didn't change the answer. "No." Nooooo. Taking them would mean having to come back here after the lunch break before heading back to work. It was hardly efficient. "No one's going to lunch with anyone." Not today at least. "Tell you what. You all behave and tomorrow we'll take you all wherever you want for lunch. Sound good?" Because the selfish Senior Undersecretary was not planning to share Emily today. Obviously.

Gavin never trusted whispering children but he was prepared to let it slide...until Avery's outburst. "Go where?"


Zeke shrugged his shoulders, hazel eyes on Ashley. She asked good questions, but he couldn't answer them. "I dunno." He wasn't even sure how to go about explaining the noises, it wasn't as if he knew what madhouses sounded like to begin with, but it wasn't a tap. "I think it's worth investigating," he nodded with perfect seriousness in his tone.

He knew that Avery had the tendency to make stuff up with hopeful intentions, and he was all for that, so when Ashley declared she was fibbing, he was rather quick to dismiss it. He needed hope. Did she not see this room? It was booorrriinnggg, if they made enough noise they'd have to let them go for lunch. It's the way things worked.

"Yeeeeaaaaahhh! Have you been?" He hadn't. Clearly, so he was willing to pull out all the stops to get her to take him. All this talk of being busy and work and blah blah blah, he didn't want to hear it. Another time meant not another time. Tomorrow, this weekend or any date in the near future meant it was a sure thing and THAT was what he was hoping for.

Avery's enthusiasm was hard to miss, but she didn't seem all that confident in the prospect of lunching with Gavin and Emily if she had to ask as well. She was fibbing. This idea was soon put to rest with that resounding no. Poooooop! But with the promise of tomorrow being another day, and if they behaved.. yeah, that might work. Though it depended on the mans definition of behave. "Deal," he accepted holding up and wiggling is pinky finger for good measure. A deal wasn't a deal unless it was pinky!shook on.

His eyes widened a little bit in an effort to communicate to Avery that she should keep her voice down... he had a plaaaaaannn, but it was for him to know and Gavin not to find out. Unless.... maybe....

....

"Emily said we could all go to the zoo, we can, yes?" Putting words in his mouth he was, the yes, Gavin was supposed to nod and agree with that, it was almost like subliminal messaging, only not subliminal at all. Please say yes. It was possible that Emily would ground him for this, conspiring against her and all, but he meant it well. He was positive that she'd like the zoo tooooo.
