(Bucky and Jo went grocery shopping)

Jo and I went out shopping for some groceries. When Brock and Jack will arrive soon, we need to stock up on food.

When we were browsing for cereals, I heard someone called him..., by his first name. Jo turned to see a small boy running at us.

"Hi James!", it was Georgie and he was smiling and cheerful.

"Hey, Georgie", I greeted him.

"Who's this?", Georgie pointed to Jo.

"I'm his sister. My name's Jo", Jo said with a smile that I know it's sincere.

"Jo? Isn't that a boy's name?", asked Georgie.

Before either of us could answer, another boy came along. He was tall and skinny.

"G-G-Georgie, c-c-come on. M-Mom and d-dad are calling", said the other boy.

"This is my big brother, Bill", Georgie introduced us and Bill just awkwardly waved at us.

"Run along now, you two. Don't want your parents to worry now, talking to strangers", said Jo.

"You're not strangers if I know you're name", said Georgie.

Jo actually chuckled. Perhaps, Georgie reminded her of someone she knew. I've never seen her like this - all soft and motherly like.

"Well, we gotta go. Bye!", said Georgie, waving at us.

"He's a cute kid", said Jo, when we were driving back home.

I look at her, afraid of what she might do. I simply nodded. "Are you gonna report this?", I asked.

"Do I need to?", she asked as we pulled into the driveway.

"Please don't", I said, but it was more like a whisper.

"Then, I don't need to. This stays between us, got it?", she said.

I nodded, but I'm confused. Why was she allowing this? Was this a trap? I watched as she picked the brown bag full of food and walked in. I grabbed the rest and headed inside.

Brock trusted her. So, what she's doing must be for the greater good? If not, why would Brock entrust her with me? If Brock trusted her, I should do the same then.
