I pulled album after album off the shelves, flipping through each quickly to see what was inside. There had to be pictures from the War here, they just had to be.
I'd about given up when I pull an older album off the shelf. I've never seen this one before. I throw it open and feel my mouth curl into a grin. There they are; Broom, Red AND Jack, all in one picture. Jack wasn't lying, Red did steal candy from him. Hersey bars, even. Red doesn't even like plain chocolate, it makes it all the more amusing.
I close the album quickly and rush out of the study. "Thanks, Manning." I twist around him and race down the hall to Red's room. I step over the laundry this time, but bash my shoulder a bit on a pile of old Beta Max tapes. Why doesn't Red throw those out, he's got the DVDs now.
The smile falls right off my face when I walk in to see Red glaring at Jack. I know what kind of a mood Red is in, but Jack, I can't quite tell. I can never really tell with him. He's good at hiding things.
God, I hope neither of them said anything stupid.
"Found it." I say softly as I hold up the old photo album.
