Among the Stars (On Hiatus/Random Updates)

PT 6:OFFICE TIME FUN?

All previous chapters have been updated. If you haven't read the updates, I recommend you do so, especially in the previous chapter. 

I don't know why you guys read this... I'm not reliable. For those who don't know yet, the Toma team will not be in this story.

Short chapter, but it's something I guess. I try not to half-ass stuff, so I'm honest when I can't do things(I think).

Mk, Imma go now and let you read.

But seriously do people actually read these? I do, I'm too scared I'll miss something.

*Sang POV*

The nervous anticipation of Dr. Green's meeting gets pushed to the back of my brain as I hear Phil over the car's speaker. "Sang, my little dove, what do I owe the pleasure of this early morning call?"

"Good morning, Dr. Roberts." I tease.

He grunts, "When will you start calling me Phil, little one?"

"When hell freezes over." I quip. "Anyway, would I be able to get Uncle's phone number? I forgot to get it from him." Phil hums over the line, letting us fall into silence for a few seconds.

"Alright, the text should get to you any second." As if on command, my phone beeps at me. "I believe you know that Uncle has a nephew?" Slightly taken aback by the question, I try to remember.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I knew that." His topic of conversation confused me, what does Uncle's nephew have to do with me?

"Ah," he hesitates "well, the first time you were here we were aware of one of his nephews." I hear the long breath he takes as if to gain courage. "We have since figured out he has a second." He breaks off again.

I start taping the wheel to a familiar melody.

Phil breaks the silence by clearing his throat. "His nephews are... um... well they..." My eyebrow raises. I've never seen Phil this nervous before. "Luke and North, two of the nine Blackbourne boys, are..."

Knowing the end of his sentence, I cut him off. "Wait! WHAT!" It seems so obvious now, Taylor. It's a common last name, but all three are in the Academy. I should've guessed.

My brain speeds through all scenarios. "Okay, that's... that's not a big deal. I just have to avoid going to Uncle's house. That's easy." Trying to convince myself more than Phil.

I started relaxing again, thinking that was all. "Well, yes. Uncle also opened a diner down the road from your current residence." I nod, keeping silent. "Sometimes, they help out there, so they'll be in close proximity." My muscles tense. It takes everything in me to not freak out, Phil was obviously nervous about my reaction.

"Oh..." I breathe, "that's fine, I'll be cautious."

"Two of the other boys used to/currently live down your street, as well." My eye twitches.

I know about Nathen, but ANOTHER ONE. Maybe I should start looking into good luck charms or something, seriously, how unlucky am I? I'm supposed to be avoiding them, they are nothing but trouble for me!

"Dakota lee's family lives in a one-story, brick, ranch-style house..."

Oh! That's the house I can see from my window. The way the windows face each other could make a great start to a romance novel. Maybe I should grab a story like that, I haven't read a romance-focused book in a long time.

"Nathen Griffin lives in the sprawling brown/beige brick, low-set house. Are you familiar with both of those?"

I stay quiet for a second, "Yeah, I remember the houses. I'll be sure to be more careful when outside. Thanks for letting me know."
