*The Next Morning*

After Aiden went to go see Ethan, we all headed back home. Dad had called the police to let them know he found us. Dad told them that we do not remember anything, as we did not want to talk to the police right now. After we got some rest, we woke up, and got dressed to visit Ethan. Dad and Mom drove us to the hospital. I was hoping he was awake and feeling better. We arrived at the hospital and went straight to Ethan's room. We walked into the room and realized Ethan was awake. Ethan was sitting up eating breakfast, and Aiden was passed out in the chair.

"Ethan!" Bailey and I screamed.

"Halley and Bailey!" I am glad to see that you two are okay," Ethan said as he pushed the table away.

"How are you feeling?" Bailey asked.

"I am feeling better that is for sure," Ethan said with a big smile on his face.

"Hey guys I am glad y'all came!" Aiden yelled.

"We are glad you both woke up," I laughed.

We all began to catch up with one another. We were all glad to see them both doing okay. As we were catching up with our cousins, Dad insisted that Aiden followed him.

"Hey man, how are you doing?" Dad asked.

"I am doing good. Glad to see my brother awake!" Aiden sighed.

"Yeah I am glad too. What do you think about your Father?" Dad insisted.

"I think he is a sorry piece of nothing!" Aiden snapped.

"I agree with you on a whole different level," Dad mumbled.

"So what are you going to do with him?" Aiden insisted.

"As much hate that I have for your Father, I am not going to kill him. But I will hurt him, not kill him," Dad reassured Aiden.

"Your not going to kill him?" Aiden asked.

"No I am not but I will beat him up for all that he has done to his family," Dad snapped.

"Will my Father ever go to jail for what he has done?" Aiden asked.

"Yes he will after I give him a taste of his own medicine," Dad sneered.

"Mr. Luke?" Aiden asked.

"Yes?" He asked.

"If you did kill him, I would not be mad at you. In fact I don't even want to see him ever again!" Aiden exclaimed.

"I understand Aiden, but it is not the best way to go," Dad sighed.

"Yes sir," Aiden hissed.

"You and Ethan can live with us as long as you need to. But the day Ethan can go home, I will go pay your Father as visit, while you two keep the girls busy," Dad whispered.

"The doctor said he can leave tomorrow," Aiden insisted.

"Then tomorrow night it is," Dad demanded.

*Tomorrow Evening*

Dad had told us that Ethan and Aiden were moving in with us. So Bailey and I got their rooms ready for them, we were excited. Dad went to go get them from the hospital, while we helped mom cook dinner. We put the casserole in the over and they pulled up. Bailey and I took off running to the door to greet them. Bailey showed Ethan his room, as I showed Aiden his room. After we showed them their rooms, we came down stairs to eat dinner. We all ate at the table together, like one big happy family. It was hard to believe that one year ago, I never knew they existed. One year ago, it was just me and my Dad. As I was lost in my thoughts, I looked up and smiled at Dad. He looked around the room at everyone, and returned the smile. We all ate our dinner and headed for the living room. Dad helped Mom with the dishes, as we all picked out our movies to watch.

"I am going to run some errands I will be back in an hour or so," Dad said putting his shoes on.

"Grab some milk and butter please," Mom screamed.

"Of course dear, I will be back soon!" Dad screamed back.

"Bye Dad we love you!" Bailey and I said.

"I will be back soon," Dad winked at Aiden, as he shut the door behind him.

"What was all that about?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah!" Bailey said.

"Oh that was nothing. Who wants to watch movies and eat snacks?" Aiden asked.

"Oh I do!" I said.

"Me too!" Ethan laughed.

We all grabbed our snacks and drinks from the kitchen. Mom cleaned up and went for a bath. We all picked our favorite movies and we watched them. Dad on the other hand, was a different story. Dad headed for the docks as he called his good friend, the Phoenix Pirates. He told them to meet him their, and of course the Pirates owned a boat. They arrived and shook hands, as they unloaded the boat.

They sailed across the water for 30 minutes, until they reached the old factory. The Phoenix Pirates tied their boat up and grabbed their gear. As they walked down the wooded path, they could smell death. Dad knocked on the door, and when he did the door opened. They walked through many, many, hall ways. Until they reached a door that read "BOSS" , on the door. Dad slowly opened the door, as it creaked open. Mr. Jacob was sitting in his big leather chair, as he slowly turned it around.

"Hello brother!" Mr. Jacob laughed.
