Inside, Grant and Christina were surprised<br />
by two things. One was that the building housed an<br />
actual archaeological dig “in progress.” And the<br />
other was that Joe was down on hands and knees<br />
busy examining an artifact in the dirt.<br />
“Hey, Joe!” cried Grant, as if they were old<br />
friends. “We found you! What have you found?”<br />
Joe looked up and grinned. With a grimace,<br />
he stood up and brushed dirt off his knees. He<br />
walked over to where the children stood above the<br />
dig. “Hi, you guys!” he said. “Hi, son,” he added<br />
with a nod to Alex.<br />
“Hey!” said Grant. “He called you his son!”<br />
Alex giggled. “Well, why not—he’s my dad.”<br />
“Your dad’s this archaeologist?” Grant<br />
marveled. “I didn’t know.”<br />
“Sorry, Grant,” Joe said. “I guess I forgot<br />
to tell you about my son Alex on the ride up to<br />
<strong>Jamestown</strong> in the Jeep.”<br />
“No wonder you know so much about this<br />
place,” Christina said, impressed. Alex blushed.<br />
“We both hang around here a lot,”<br />
Courtney explained. “In case you didn’t figure it<br />
out, Amy’s my big sister.”<br />
“Wow!” said Grant. “Our family affair meets<br />
your family affair—cool.”<br />
