Let us find the light

chapter 2

There was a meeting at Skizz's place before leaving for the night. Scar again was off so it was just Impulse, Grian, SKizz and Gem. Gem was late, abnormally late and was not responding to anyone. They had started to continuously call her, hoping even the answer button would be hit, and it was.

"You're on speakerphone with my brother. Sorry, I will be there as soon as possible."

There was a hiss and a small 'sorry' from Gem.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Will be once we get all the glass out."

A voice spoke from the other end that they could only assume was Gem's brother.

"Glass?"

Grian asked.

"Glass liquor bottle + parents = picking shards of glass out of skin-"

He - Gem's brother - hissed.

"Gem!"

"Sorry, big piece."

"Oh my, you two. Do we need to call the police or come get you?"

"Nope."

Both twins said at the same time, there was a loud bang from their end.

"Gemini!"

"What mom!"

"Get down here once you are an insolent child!"

"Gem you can't."

"It will just make it worse if I don't"

Impulse, Skizz and Grian heard Gem retreat out of the room.

"My name's Fwhp by the way, you are Gem's business partners aren't you, the ones that dropped her off that night."

"We are."

"Thanks for keeping her on your team even after she lied. We almost have enough for the apartment we have been looking at. Once we come of age we buy and move, which has been the plan for years."

"Do you have a job?"

"Yeah, it does not pay great. I clean a local robotics lab. Once I am of age I can work with robotics but until then I can't."

"Oh ..... Can by any chance we face call you. I want to make sure you are okay."

Skizz being the eldest said always the parent. The call ended and was replaced with a video call. There was a crash and screams. Fwhip winced, his face was covered in little cuts and a huge bruise covered half of his face. They heard a door open and Fwhip spoke.

"G"

They saw Gem there was blood coming from her nose and temple.

"Could have been worse, Fwhip."

"Could have been, come here let me look at your head."

Impulse, Grian, and Skizz stayed silent and the city before them. Gem had a cloth checking the blood from her nose and Fwhip was wiping down her head. Then Grian spoke.

"Gem you get the night off, we will pull in scar if you or your brother want to come and chill at my apartment or sit in the van you can but I really don't want you working."

"I-"

She looked at her brother.

"We will sit in the van but I can work."

"We will be over in ten to get you, then will swing around to get Scar I will message him, but no Gem I don't want you working,"

Impulse and Skizz nodded.
