March 16th

The Real Estate Agent arrived and we got out of the car.

Real Estate Agent - Sorry I'm late, I got caught up.

Laura - That's ok, I was just saying how good this house is, it's not too far from Pop's my new favorite place.

Real Estate Agent - That's perfect that you like it. Shall we look inside?

We nod as she unlocks the door. Wow, this place looks huge on the inside. I step outside then inside, back and forth.

Real Estate Agent - Yes, it looks bigger on the inside, but it will be homely once you move furniture inside.

Laura - I'm liking it so far.

45 minutes go by and I love the place, the pool has a spa connected, a waterfall and a slide. The house is pretty cheap for what it looks like.

Dad - Um, why is it so cheap when the place looks this good.

Real Estate Agent - People have bought the place only to put it back on sale because someone keeps breaking in but doesn't steal anything.

Laura - Who was the owner before all the complaints.

Real Estate Agent - That's confidential

Laura - I'm an FBI

I show her my badge. She rummages through the files and gives me the owner's name. Hale Cooper's dad.

Laura - Was the man breaking in wearing a black hood?

Real Estate Agent - Yeah, how did you know?

Laura - It's my job. Dad, it's Mr. Coopers dad. Do you think it was Hale breaking in because it was his childhood home?

Dad - Maybe, but he's in a psychiatric ward for the rest of his life.

Laura - So there shouldn't be any break-ins, right.

Dad - True. We will take the house.

Real Estate Agent - Great. Would you like to pay full now or weekly or monthly?

Laura - All full, now.

Real Estate Agent - Ok that will be $12,350.

She holds out the pay-machine and I swipe my card. It's approved.

Real Estate Agent - Enjoy the house, I'll put a sold sign out the front and let you settle in.

Dad - You did it.

Laura - I did it.

Dad - I can't believe you're 16 and living on your own.

Laura - I can't believe I'm 16 with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Dad - I think you're the richest self earned 16 year old.

Laura - Are you saying the other rich kids get their money from their parents. *gasp* scandalous dad.

We laugh.

Dad - Let me know if you want help with anything.

Laura - Thank you dad.

We go home and I get my stuff packed. Dad helped.

Laura - I'm going to take this stuff to the house, can you drive me?

Dad - Sure thing honey.

Laura - Also, after that, can you take me to Pop's?

Dad - Sure, this weekend you're getting your learners. I can't drive you everywhere.

Laura - Agree. We can do that.

Dad - Ok lets go.

We put the stuff in the car and drop it all off at home. I lock the door and we get to Pop's.

Laura - Thanks dad. See you later. Also, I thought tonight might be the last night I stay home. You know?

Dad - If it makes you happy. Sure.

I smile, kiss his cheek and walk into Pop's.
