Garrett glanced at Jackson, pointing a finger at him and saying, "Amen to that, my good fellow."  Rule number one: don't mess with Mom.  Ever.  Even if you were a super spy and she wasn't.  Garrett had learned that from an early age.  He wondered for a moment if there was a school for becoming a badass mother, or if it just came natural to some women...

Garrett glanced around, and noticed AJ sitting off, removed from the cluster near the door.  Being that she was quiet enough to have not introduced herself, and also hadn't picked any fights, she was probably worth talking to.  Or sitting in silence with, at the very least.  He stood up, and walked over.  He extended a hand in greeting and said, "Hey.  I'm..uh...Garrett."
