Life Changing Circumstances

Part 9

While he waited for Friday, Brooklyn was extremely anxious. David still gave him the hormones every night. It definitely helped keep more nausea at bay. He didn't have too many issues with it really.

He reluctantly still went on patrol duty as he was instructed to do. He was doing the best he could without letting on about his condition right now.

On Wednesday, Brook was patrolling reluctantly with Broadway. The aqua male wanted some pretzels and they got some. When the red male ate his first one that night, he said, "Hmm! This is so good. Do you think we could get more?"

Broadway looked at his brother quizzically. "That's unusual for you to be asking for more than one."

"I just feel like I want to have some more." Brooklyn replied.

"Alright. I can get us some more if you want some that bad." Broadway stated. He went down to the stand and got out a good dozen of them out of the cart.

Brooklyn gladly took up to six of them from his bro when he got them back up to the rooftop. He began scarfing like he was starved to death. Broadway watched him in surprise to see his red brother eating like he was starving. Brook never ate like that.

"Are you sure you want to eat that many, Brooklyn? I can take back two of them." Broadway offered, thinking it would be too much for him.

Brooklyn growled; eyes glowing. "Okay, okay. I won't." Broadway stepped back. Then he went on eating his own. The red male was having a craving and he was inclined to fulfill that need.

When they were done having their snacks, it was time to set off again. Broadway then asked him, "What was with you back there?"

"You were going to take my food and I wasn't having that." Brook replied grumpily.

"It's just you normally don't eat that many pretzels when we have them. You eat more like only two or three."

"I just felt a little more hungry tonight." Brook declared.

"Okay. If you say so." Broadway said. Then there was an explosion heard a few streets away. They both went to investigate what was going on.

There was a store that had gotten broken into and the alarm was blaring away. "Let's go see who's shopping after hours." Brooklyn declared. He would make sure to be careful.

The two of them went into the store and there were up to six men looting the place, wearing masks. Some were grabbing food and drinks. Another was raiding the cash register.

"Well, well, what do we have here? We have some crooks who are in for a major butt kickin'." Broadway shouted out.

It made the robbers stop what they were doing. "And we have some nosy monsters sticking their noses where they don't belong!" One of the men exclaimed. "Get them!"

Three men moved in on Broadway while there were two that moved in on Brooklyn.

Both of them made short work of the robbers. But the one that had grabbed some money from the register ran out the door. Brooklyn saw him and took off after him. He was faster than his brother. It didn't take him long to catch up with the man and he knocked him over.

"You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you, pal." Brooklyn declared to him.

"Stay out of my business, Monster! Or I'll see that you're dead meat!" The man growled as he got up. He took out a knife.

For a moment, Brooklyn seemed a little too close and the man nearly took a swipe at his stomach and he jumped back just in time. But then he turned and swept the man's feet out from under him again and he fell back this time. Tripping him this time knocked him out. That was a close call. He carried the robber back to the store and left him with the others.
