||Chapter 24: Some Game Advice||
"So you play a lot of games?"
Robert shuffled the cards at the table,"Yep; Poker, Black Jack and Chess, especially Chess.", Theodore nods,"You can't beat Dad in Chess.", Ike smirked,"Is that a challenge?", Robert laughed,"And I'll take you on that offer Kiddo.", Robert smiled,"You see, Poker is more of a Social Deduction Game, success depends on both game strategic knowledge and emotional regulation abilities, Chess isn't as much but you can tell a lot about a person just from how they play games.", Norman titled his head, the hat sinking and covering his eyes a little,"So how do you play them?", Robert smirked,"Now, I wouldn't want to be revealing my hand or tricks but for me; I play the long game.", he gave out the cards,"By playing the long, I get an idea of who I'm up against and never revealing my hand until the last moment.", Robert smirked,"The element of surprise.", Ike oohed,"Like a sneak attack!", "Exactly; It's not a method I use all the time, usually when it's hard a game.", Norman took his cards, ready to learn about to play black jack.

Quentin dug through his room for his drone, finding it he attached a device to it and decided to take it for a spin.
"Let's see what's happening up there during the day."
And he sent it up to The Weather Station and watching the feed.
. . .
Hoping he had enough battery and signal.

The Chief was grim as he arrived on sight.
"Well?"
"All the fingerprints match Franklin's, and the blood? We have a match, but the problem is they've moved out."
"Who?"
"Leonard ×××××××."
. . .
"One of the kids. . ."
"Yep; One of the kids that were harassing and assaulting the youngest son, ain't looking good but we need more proof but, we'll try and get in contact with that Kid's family."
Whhhhhhiiiirrrrrr
What-
What the fuck-?
"Is that a drone?"
It flew over them, The Chief growled and picked up a brick,"Quentin Gershowtiz!", he tossed it and smashed the drone.
. . .

. . .
Oh no.

"I see."
Cornelius stood at the door, the Chief holding the destroyed drone in his hand,"I'm sorry, but we are in the middle of a very important investigation.", "I understand, will you need me to. . .?", "Pay damages; No, no, Sir. Just make sure your kid isn't using anything to ease drop.", he nods and the Chief left.
. . .
The clock filled the silence.
"Quentin."
"I know. . . Up to my room."
And Quentin retreated to his room.
Cornelius sighed, what was he going to do with that boy??

Ike came home, having learned some new games with cards and even learned a magic trick for Mr Peterson!
But he stopped once noticing the living room lights were off, and he saw his dad on the sofa.
"Dad?"
"Hm? Ike, you're back."
"Yeah. . ."
Ike approached,"Are you okay, do your eyes hurt or, do you have a headache?", "A little Kiddo. . . Think I'm gonna sit in silence for a bit.", silence passed by them.
Then Ike curled by to his Dad's side, eesting his own eyes to give his dad company.
