The Foster troup’s private airstrip was just a stone’s throw on the public one
Evangelate and Wade got there just as two iwanky private jete were touching down
Evangeline was bussing with excitement. Which two of her uncles would be stepping off the planes?
ter uncles had struck out on their own when they were just kids, so even though she was raised by her grandfather, she had not really gotten to know all of them. It was something she always felt a little bummed about.
With her birthday celebration bringing everyone together though, she figured it would be a blast for them and a real treat for Cole.
The planes came to a halt, and as soon as they stopped, the hatch on the plane to Evangeline’s left swung open.
A tall guy in a crisp white outfit and shades made his way down the steps.
On the right, a dude wearing a cool black getup with a hip hop vibe hairstyle stepped off the other plane.
Evangeline saw both uncles disembark at the same time and was torn on who to greet first. So, she just grabbed Wade and decided to wait.
“Hey there, uncles!”
Uncle Holden, the third in line, whipped off his sunglasses and gave Evangeline a once over, cracking a joke, “Evie, can you tell us apart? Are you sure we’re the uncles you’re looking for?”
Evangeline was in a real pickle. The Fosters had their own airstrip, so there was no way she could have picked up the wrong person. Her Uncle Yale had not given her any info on her uncles, whose identities were pretty much a mystery. She did not want to snoop around her own family using her contacts, and that was how she ended up in this awkward spot.
She gave a sheepish grin and tried to play it cool. “Guess I didn’t think this through. Mind introducing yourself, Uncle, so I don’t mess up again in the future?”
Holden caught the embarrassed look on Evangeline’s face and it clicked. He remembered someone who looked just like that. He could not help but laugh out lood
“Even your cops‘ face is a dead giveaway. You’re totally one of us Fosters, no
He nudged the boy next to him, who was decked out in hip–hop gear. “Meet Aemon Foster, the second youngest of us.”
