When two women scheme...

Arron stayed with Michael for a few more minutes before he stepped out of the room and motioned for Sarah to follow him down to where Greta was sitting. The older woman smiled as she spotted the two of them coming out and after she gave Sarah a warm, and careful hug, she turned and gave him a warm hug too. "Dear, when I heard the news, I had to make sure your daughter was safe. She did a marvelous thing today."

"Your son's the hero here."

Greta shook her head. "No, my son did what any officer does, regardless if they wear a uniform or not. It's in their blood. They can be a cop no less than you can be a mother or your daughter can be a caring person. It's who you are, it's who she is, and it's who he is." She sighed, motioning to the place they were standing. "His father was a cop and his father before him also a cop. It's only to be expected that there would be injuries like this."

"I still feel that there's something we should do to help take care of him, to thank him for doing what he did."

Greta took Arron's hand into hers. "You offered to take care of him at your house, didn't you?"

Arron looked a bit shocked but nodded slowly. "Was...was that overstepping?"

"No, that's really sweet of you. But you just started a job last week at the university, right? You can't possibly do that, take care of your daughter, and take care of my son at the same time. I couldn't ask that of you." Greta leaned forward and whispered with a smile on her face. "There is a way, though...are you a good cook, by any chance?"

Arron wanted to say no but Sarah tapped him on the back. "Mom's being modest, she's a great cook. Aren't you, MOM?"

He wanted to slap the girl upside the head but merely smiled instead. "Y-yes, I love cooking. I'm not sure how great I am..."

"Man's heart is through his stomach. I'm sure if you bring over a few meals every week, he would love that." She took out a small slip of paper and handed it to him. "Here, this is his house's address. I'm sure he won't mind me giving it to you." She winked at Sarah who gave her a thumbs up behind his father's back before the woman gave her a hug to say good bye and stepped into the room with her son.

"That...was unusual..."

Sarah just shook her head and motioned for him to lead the way to the car. "Looks like you need to get cracking for Officer Brady, MOM..."

If I hurt her now, the sad thing is that they would arrest ME....
