The Wilsons

"Mr. Wilson to you, John. Now please, be seated."

John took a seat as he remembered the last time he saw Mr. Wilson.

*The whereabouts of Adam Newman were always a mystery to his wife. After their child was born, he seemed to lose all interest in being a father. In those days, the closest thing John had to a positive male role model was Lee., the librarian. Lee was kind to Eve and John, and encouraged John's inquisitive spirit.

One day, on his way into the library, Lee was spotted by John.
"Leaving so soon, Lee?"

"Sorry, John. You won't be seeing me around at the library. You won't even be seeing me much around town. Just remember what I always say."
"Things aren't always what they seem."*

"You know that guy?" Teri whispered.

"He's from my hometown. I'm surprised he made it out to Solomon Hills."

"That can't be right. When was the last time you saw him?"

"Probably ten years ago, why?"

Teri's face changed expressions, but John wasn't sure why. An announcement on the speaker system snapped John out of his trance.

"Will Mr. Wilson please report to the principal's office."

"Hey Newman, is your mom going to give Wilson detention?" Ripper said, Karl high fiving him.

John pondered about that. What was his mom going to do?- - - - - -

The whereabouts of Adam Newman were always a mystery to his wife. After their child was born, he seemed to lose all interest in being a father. Being a single mother was hard, but Lee Wilson made it much easier on her. He was nice to John, but really nice to her. Until one day, when he bailed on her for the east coast with nary a word.

It's taken a while, but she'd finally managed to track him down.

"...Well?"

"Eve. You know, things aren't-"

"Always what they seem? Bullshit. What could have possibly driven you to this boring place?"

"...Have you met my brother yet?"

Benjamin Wilson was a man used to getting what he wanted. He wanted the office of the mayor. He wanted his whiny little brother to come home. And most importantly, he wanted his married assistant.

Tammy Thompson sat on her bosses' lap without a care in the world, their passionate kiss only interrupted by the phone ringing.

"Mayor's office! If you want to speak to the mayor, be sure to book an appointment!"

"Tammy. It's Lee. Our new principal has some questions."
