Gina watched as he left, not etting to tease Jackie's father. "Hehe, Hardy. Your son is such a good kid." "Hehe. He really has nothing going out for him aside from his silver tongue." Hardy chuckled before turning toward Helen and asking tentatively, "So? What do you think, Helen? My son is something of a regional manager. I know you're still close with your ex-husband, but the way your mom puts it... he doesn't sound all that reliable." "Exactly, Helen," Gina chimed in.

Jackie grinned as he strode over and sat down in front of Frank unceremoniously. "Hello. Frank Lawrence, was it?" "Yes. Who are you?" Frank asked uncertainty.
Jackie picked up the glass of water and splashed it on Frank's face, baring his true colors as he glared at Frank's surprised and pathetic face.
