Chapter seventy-seven.

Timmy opened the door stepping in, letting Tommy in too. "Uncle Tom! Uncle Redd! We're home!" he chimed.

He twitched his ears slightly. "I think they're not home yet." he told as he shrugged slightly. "Let's go to Resident Services, I think Tom is still there." he hummed.

"I wouldn't be suprised if he was there." Tommy said as he went back outside. Timmy nodded stepping outside. "Yeah, true, let's go." he told as he closed the door.

They went to the Resident Services, and opened the door. "Hey Isabelle, have you seen uncle Tom?" Timmy asked.

The shih tzu looked over to the boys. "Oh, he's in break room." she told with soft smile. "But, he has been there since he came back, maybe he would be happy to see you two." she said.

The boys took glance of each other. "Is something wrong?" Timmy asked as he jumped over the counter, Tommy following him.

Isabelle closed her book. "I'm not sure, he didn't really say anything." she told as she got up.

Timmy opened the door to the break room. He looked over to the couch, Tom was there. "Uncle Tom, is something wrong?" he asked as he went over to him.

Tommy followed his brother. He sat next to his uncle, as Timmy sat other side. Tom let out soft sigh. "Everything is fine." he told as he ruffled the boys hair.

"Your ears are sad." Tommy pointed out. Timmy nodded. "Why you're here? In dark and alone?" he asked.

The older one let out soft sigh. "I just needed some time alone, and away from home for a while." he told, as he got up. "But should we go home, hm?"

"What about uncle Redd? He wasn't home." Timmy told.
He shook his head slightly. "He's not coming home for a while, but you two can go see him if you want."

Tommy tilted his head slightly. "Do you two hate each other now?" he asked carefully. His uncle let out soft chuckle. "Oh, no, of course not, we're just spending time separately." he told.

"Now, let's go." Tom told as he went to the door. He opened the door. "Come now, it's bed time soon." he hummed softly.

"I think we don't even need a bed time." Timmy told as he got up. He gave hand to his brother to help him up. They went over to the tanuki.

"I'll think about it." he told, taking their hands. "Isabelle, I'm sorry for this day. And we'll be leaving, I can lock the doors now." he told.

She looked over to the tanukis. "Don't worry about it." she told. "And that's fine, atleast I don't need to worry about it." she chuckled.

Tom nodded. "See you tomorrow, you should leave soon too." he said as he opened the door, then he ushered the twins out of the building.

Tom let out soft sigh as he made sandwiches to himself and to the twins. Timmy twitched his ears slightly as he picked up his sandwich. "Uncle Tom, are you alright?" he asked.

"Of course I am, why you ask?" he asked as he sat down. "You're having coffee at nine thirty." he pointed, before taking bite from his sandwich.

The oldest placed his cup on the table. "I am fine, just going to do some extra work." he told. "Shouldn't you go to sleep too?" Tommy asked.

"I will go to sleep, yes, but little later." he said. "Now you should eat. You two are still growing, and need rest." he told.

Timmy let out soft huff, as he ate rest of his sandwich. "Fine." he murmured as he got up. He put his dishes away. "Tommy, let's go." he told.

"Um... Good night." Tommy said as he put his dishes top of Timmy's. He soon followed after his brother.

Tom shook his head slightly. He gave slight stir to his coffee, before he took sip from it. He leaned back with sigh.
