Sometimes the Novaks didn't see Jacob for ages because Jacob was away on trips. Sometimes the Novaks chose not to invite Jacob. One time, Jimmy even lied and told Jacob that they weren't having Christmas.
"Either you're lying or you've been Taken," Jacob said, eyes narrowed as he tried to decide which one was more likely. He took out the airport device and waved it at Jimmy, who rolled his eyes and slammed the door in Jacob's face.
"You lied to Uncle Jacob," Claire accused.
"Sometimes you need to," Jimmy said. "Not you--you should *never* lie. But sometimes, God allows parents to lie to their brother if their brothers are crazy, corrupting forces and they have a child to look after, for heaven's sake!"
Claire frowned. Uncle Jacob was so much more fun than Jimmy.
