On his way home, Blaze saw a three man standing in front of the next door house looking at a weird car. He asked his bodyguard if he could check it out and he agreed. He was used to being restrained by his previous bodyguards so he is pleased with this one his mother got for him. He is more capable that the one from the past. He got down from the car and looked at the car and thought of something.
" Is this the new energy efficient car that was built a year ago?" He muttered.
" Hey kid, you sure know your stuff. " The new neighbor said.
" My mom has a car like this one but hers is way prettier than this one. Hers is also more advanced. This car has a smaller engine and i think this is probably a knockoff. The logo also seems off. " Blaze said with a sigh.
" This car cost us an arm and a leg kid. Maybe your mom's car is the knockoff. " A man close to the neighbor with a weird buzz cut said.
" That can't be possible. My mom has shares in that company and they always send her new stuff from time to time. Even my mini model is better than this one. Wait here, I'll go get it. " Blaze said running to his house to get his car.
" What a cute kid. " Patrick, Jesse 's friend said.
" Yes he is. I just wish he had a different mother. " Jesse said.
" Oh come on. You still haven't told us why you hate that woman so much. I've know Iris along with her brother Harlow. She is a kind lady and a formidable lawyer. She is also a great investor. What her son said might be true. The owner of this car company is her friend from college. I think you should look into it. Your mother might be scammed. " Patrick said with a smile.
" Maybe there is more to it than we know. How can Jesse be angry at someone for no reason. By the way , don't you think that Iris 's divorce is quite suspicious? I followed the drama all the way and although iris didn't make any statements, she dealt a great deal to her in laws. And considering the fact that she was given a divorce certificate within thirty minutes is also suspicious. It's like someone was helping her in the shadows. I know Martin and that man is ruthless as well as meticulous. There is no way she would have found that much evidence by herself." Adam, the third man said.
" Who do you suspect? " Patrick asked. Both men didn't see the slight tremble on Jesse.
" Maybe someone who wanted to help rescue her. Everyone in our society knows how he managed to marry her in the first place. Plus Martin 's womanizing behavior is well known despite being married. It is a common knowledge that she stayed for the sake of her kid. " Adam said.
" Why are we talking about that woman? Her son is coming. " Jesse said. The other two were not sure what he was thinking.
" Hey, this is the mini version of my mom's car. " Blaze said from a distance.
" How do you know so much about cars at such a young age?" Patrick asked while he examined the small car.
" Uncle Dave used to take me with him to his studio when my mom had exams. He taught me to identify car parts and i was there when he and my mom made that logo. " Blaze said with a smiled like a proud peacock.
" Your mother was taking exams? Why would you be with Dave instead of your father. " Patrick couldn't resist the gossip.
" My mom was young when she had me and still had to go to school. As for me being with my godfather? I don't know. I guess my father was busy with work or something." Blaze answered and shrugged his shoulders.
" Dave Armstrong is your godfather?" Adam asked.
" Yes, he took me to all my go cart races and looked after me whenever my mother went to work. I have seen all the energy efficient car series when they made them and that is not one of them. Plus he hates red. " Blaze said.
" Hey kid, can you give me your godfather's contact details? " Jesse asked a frown.
" I can't do that but i can call him for you. " Blaze said. Adam drew in a deep breath when he saw the model of the kid's watch.
" Alex, Is your mother overworking herself again?" A male voice was heard from the digital watch.
" No uncle. I am sorry to call you at midnight. Someone made an ugly car using your name. " Blaze said causing Patrick to cough.
" Is it red? " Dave asked after a brief moment.
" How did you know? " Blaze asked.
" Is your mother home? " Dave asked.
" Yes she's home. She is baking a cake at home ." Blaze replied.
" Stay where you are. I will send your mother to check it out and can you give me the contact details of the buyer. Judging by the time on your end, you just got back from school, did you do your homework?" Dave asked.
" I did it at school." Blaze answered.
" Is that so? You are not playing with your cars or computer are you? Your uncle Carlton will be there in a day or two. Don't forget what you promised him before. I will call your mom now. Stay where you are and don't run around. " Dave said before hanging up. He quickly sent Dave Jesse 's contact details after he gave him the permission.
" Why do you look so scared when you heard about your uncle?" Patrick asked ignoring Jesse who was in deep thought.
" My uncle is a military commander and whenever he comes back , He makes me train. He made me promise to always get an A average in my grades or he will ship me off to military school. " Blaze said with a sigh. He felt like his world was falling apart at this moment.
" Your mother is here" Jesse said as she looked at the woman wearing thick glasses, she also had on a white dress shirt sporting pink fluffy shoes. Patrick 's mouth was open. He had always seen Iris is formal wear. he thought she looked like a top model in suits.
" Well hello guys. What seems to be the problem? " Iris asked holding a smart phone.
" They bought another fake model" Dave's lazy voice was heard through the phone.
" Not completely. Material is yours but the one who made it didn't know what he was doing. " Iris responded looking at the car.
" That is impossible. I am the only one with the formula. " Dave said. They heard some scuffling in the background.
" Just get your a.., mhmm , come back home as soon as you can. This has your father written all over it. " Iris said.
" I am on my way. Is Jesse there?" Dave asked.
" I am here. " Jesse said after clearing his throat. He couldn't look at Iris in the eyes after what happened this past week.
" Send the car to Iris 's. I will compensate you for your loss. If it's okay, can you tell me how you bought it? " Dave asked.
" I wasn't the one who bought it. My mother did. I will ask her about it later. " Jesse replied. He took the smartphone from Iris and answered most of the questions before Dave ended the call.
" Mommy. Is uncle Carlton coming home?" Blaze asked.
" He should be. Why?" Iris replied. Her eyes still on the car seemingly in deep thought.
" Nothing. " Blaze quickly replied. Adam and Patrick started laughing after hearing that.
" Miss Iris, can i buy you dinner tonight?" Patrick asked. Jesse who was about to return the phone paused.
" Maybe next time. " Iris replied taking the phone from Jesse. She didn't even spare him a look.
" Well, it's about a case. " Patrick quickly said.
" What kind of case?" Iris asked.
" A divorce case. " Patrick said. The two other man paused.
" Well, you can bring this car to my house and we can talk. " Iris said before remembering the pot she left on the stove as well as the cake in the oven. She said good bye before dragging her son back home.
" You want her to take your sister 's case?" Jesse asked.
" I am hoping she does. She is good at her job and currently no one else in the capital is willing to take it. " Patrick said with a sigh.
" I'll go with you. I'll even pay the lawyer fees. " Adam said. The two quickly left Jesse there who looked dumbfounded. He had no other but to ride his car over there.
