  “Nong, come and have breakfast before you leave for school!” White knocked on Rome’s bedroom door.

  “I’m coming!” Rome said as he finished getting dressed and grabbed his school bag.

  He walked out of his bedroom and saw that not only was White up but so was Black. Black never got up early unless he had a good reason.

  “Good morning phis.” Rome greeted them as he took a seat at the breakfast bar next to Black.

  There was a plate of food waiting for Rome already and White walked over with his own and took a seat on Rome’s other side.

  “Have you spoken with Emma today?” White asked.

  “Yeah, she says she’s feeling better but still feels guilty about what happened.” Rome said as he ate.

  “It was an accident. She shouldn’t beat herself up about it so much.” Black said.

  “We promised to go visit the dog once it’s better.” Rome said.

  “That’s a good idea.” White smiled. “Maybe you could also help find it a home since you did say it seemed to be from the streets.”

  “Yeah, I’ll have to talk to Emma about that though. She’s still scared of dogs.” Rome said and then turned to look at Black. “Um, so what’s wrong?”

  “What do you mean?” Black asked, confused.

  “No offense but you only ever get out of bed before me when something is wrong or you both need to talk to me about something serious.” Rome said. “So what is it? Don’t think I didn’t notice how you two were acting last night when you got home.”

  “Nothing is wrong.” White said. “At least not yet.”

  “What does that mean?” Rome asked, confused.

  “It means that you shouldn’t worry too much about what we’re about to tell you. We’re going to take care of it and nobody will split us apart or threaten to ever again.” Black said.

  Rome stopped eating and put his fork down.

  “Okay, now you’re scaring me. What happened?” Rome asked, looking at both of them. “Does this have to do with why you weren’t able to pick me up from school yesterday?”

  “Nong, don’t worry but…por went to see P’Black and I at the garage yesterday.” White said.

  “What?” Rome asked not expecting him to say that at all.

  Their father hadn’t really contacted them since when all five of them had met up to discuss Rome living with Black and White and telling both him and their mother to leave them alone. Rome definitely didn’t expect Black and White to tell him he had shown up at the garage.

  “Don’t worry. We’re going to take care of him.” Black quickly said.

  “Well, what did he want?” Rome asked. “Did he want P’White to go back to working for him?”

  “No, he did not want that.” White said. “He seems to have given up on making me the perfect son he worked so hard to mold me into.”

  “That’s good.” Rome said relieved their father hadn’t tried taking White from him and Black once again.

  Rome noticed the look both his brothers shared though and that dread returned immediately.

  “Then what did he want?” Rome asked scared to know the answer.
