As they arrived home, the front door to there home is surrounded in bowkays of flowers, as they get out Adi asked
"What the hell happen?"
Keller the first to pick one up readiny the note outloud
"Jackson, thank you, my son told me today he's cutting. He said he only has hope to change because of you. Thank you."
Cooper now read one outloud
"Sol, I finely left my husband. He beats me and tell me I'm worthless. Not any more,
if you can move forward, so can I
Thank you"
Sol gasp not really speaking, but try's to use words
"What, I'm it's, these"
Adi giggling saying
"Yeh baby.b, there all simarler, this one is just a thank you"
Cooper asking out loud
"But how did they know to bring here?"
Adi looking at his phone awserd
"It's up on social media, #thankthepepoleshero
And gives directions."
Sol let's out a breathy
"Fuck"
Keller looks to his phone blankly said out loud as he pockets the phone again
"Phone off inside, family meeting"
Cooper just nods and Sol asks
"I don't won't to waste them, can we bring them in?"
Keller softens, looking at Sol saying
"Of course, I'll get a box for the notes"
And walks off while the three left collect the flowers, now the flowers in vasters, the inside of the house now looks like a green house, truly breathtaking.
The family sitting in the lounge room with tea in hand, Sol asked
"Papa, what now, was it me, is it.."
Keller waves a hand and replies
"I wont lie, yes and no. Your video went live, as in it went to TV and radio, it was air lived, you stopped the nation."
Sol sites silently and Keller contus
"People are supporting you, the 3rd hero came out saying he sees a therapist once and week. The 10th hero she in a controlled relationship and doesn't now how to get out. The 7th hero he was raped by his then boyfriend. Three more retired hero say they only retire for image reasons."
Keller taking a pause and Adi huffing out saying lost
"Well shit, what now?"
Sol snots saying with a smirk of amusement
"That's not the 'we'll shit' moment yet, there's more, bad, papa"
Keller node's and continues
"Yeh the 2ed hero, her father death, it was suicide, they coved it up as a hero accident. And..."
Keller taking a moment continues
"Liam Murphy, his dad is the 5th hero was in a Della arranged marriage, Liam came out saying , his the only one left, his mother is dead, suicide after fursed breading and miss carrgiges, one child she killed and the other had a suspicious accident after he turn three and the father committed the Della was 'week in that one' "
Sol numbly said
"And there's the 'oh shit' moment"
Cooper in distress asked a little desperate
"Bab what will happen to him?"
Keller worrying saying
"I'll look into it give me a sec"
And he starts typing away on his phone, a few moments later replies
"Cop station on Gilbert Street, he released the video this morning. His Dad's in prison and Murphy being processed"
Sol stands only saying
"Bullshit, Call them papa, I'll be back"
Adi stands quickly saying
"Oh take the car, we can get Koren on the way home!"
And follow behind, Copper saying to his disappearing son's
"I'll make brownies"
And Keller getting the phone walks off to make the call that Liam Murphy would be staying with them. Sol and Adi arrived home with Liam in toe, Sol yelling out
"WERE HOME FOOD"
turns to Liam say
"Put your bag by the door for now, come eat sweet heart"
Liam only node's before Cooper comes in saying
"Hay, welcom, feel at home"
Keller's voice is suddenly heard
"He live with a pice of shit, I don't think you know home, let's start with comfortable"
As he walks over to the table and sits, family follows and Liam only stand there with his head down, Keller gets up and walks over to him, hugging him tightly for a moment before saying firmly
"This is comfortable kid, ask us anything, now food, come on, site"
Keller let's go and go's back to his chair, Liam take a seat and small talk is shard over dinner, after dinner Cooper claps his hand and said
"OK I made brownies! Let's snuggle in and watch a movie, who wants to?"
Sol hesitate before saying
"I wont to make a quick thank you video, then yeh a movie sound's good?"
Adi stands up
"OK Liam your with me, house tourer"
Liam node's, Keller looks at him and asks
"Tea or coffee"
Liam let's a quiet
"Tea please"
And follow Adi up the stairs, Cooper and Keller set up the drinks with the brownies.
After a while everyone's in the lounge snuggle in, well almost. Keller lean on Max side on the L sofa, Adi snuggle in a blanket in the love seat and on the two seater Sol with Liam, but Liam was curly in on himself looking uncomfortable Sol asks
"You comfey?"
Liam only replied
"Probably"
Sol hmms leans towards Liam and pulled him close, drapes the blanket on him.
Keller pressed play on the movie and the night went by, all in comfort this time.
Over the next few days, the family are just happy to be together, to have each other and Liam of course.
Liam confessed that he was raised well, but by out side care, nanny's and tutors, his father was frivolous with his money, so Liam has nothing to live on or anywhere to live.
Sage and his family all agree Liam would live with them indefinitely, Liam himself didn't won't to impose so compromised that he would be another lost boy to Sage and he agreed as long as he could pay for all of Liam's needs till he moved out.
