I looked at the phone, listening to Flower talk about Marco. she was the day before Steven killed him there. She was blamed for his death, but i was more interested in Daniel, my brothers friend. I got told of him before the call, what were they doing at her house. I couldn't wrap my head around it. "Leo, can you add something?" I nodded,"Marco once took me to the boy in the basement to play with us both, and i guess she was the figure in the shadows upstairs no matter where she was upstairs but not seen. i saw her watch once before Marco got angry and beat her," Theo nodded, having me on his lap hugging me. That when i remembered something "T-the boy was related to m-me by b-blood." There was a moment of silence as Xavier looked at me."How was he related?" I shook my head, "brother, i think." They nodded again as flower talked about a different guy i heard of but got told that just the well-behaved go there.

"Thelom i was m-mostly going to he m-made me do worse t-things t-than M-marco," i got a headache as i started to remember little parts of him "T-Thelom w-was ... was s-saying he k-kill Lewis a-and M-Martin i-if i-i did n-not listen," i started to shake thinking about them and that i haven't seen them in many years. I felt someone hug me, making me flinch before relaxing into it. "It's okay, you're safe, you're with us, and we protect you," noah said as i closed my eyes, feeling overwhelming. I started to slip involentirly, starting to cry feeling too small.

I watched Noah trying to comfort Flower when i stood up and sat beside him, pulling her on my lap. "It's okay." Noah went to Lisa, hugging her, "i think we should go for a nap," i said, watching Noah slowly dozing off and Flower closing her eyes from exhaustion. We put them down for a nap as i took the phone. "What does leo know ?" I asked as Lisa glared at me."She just opened up to us," Lisa pointed at Flower "don't fuck it up," she got up sitting down on her desk. "Not much, just things we already know, but the thelom guy we'll look into him," i nodded. "Please do," i hung up, looking at lisa. "i don't want Flower to be like Leo," i huffed as she just ignored me. "I'm sorry, I'm worried about her," i sat down on my desk working.
As time went by, we were sitting in the car driving home with lisa, not talking to me, Noah was playing, but ignoring me as well because lisa was and Flower was just quiet not doing anything and would just answer yes or no questions. I parked the car by our house, seeing Elijahs car already there with Theodores feeling something wrong. "You stay here. I'll be back," i got out of the car, walking to the only house with the door wide open. As i got in, it was quiet. i got my knife from my pocket, checking every room downstairs. Walking upstairs, i heard footsteps in one of the rooms and talking. I opened the door slightly, seeing three guys in there. "What's going on?" I just walked in putting my knife away as the guy i didn't know looked at me, raising an eyebrow. I looked at Theodore and Elijah sitting on the floor, not moving as i looked at the guy again, holding a gun. I didn't show any emotions. "Pretty thing, an M1911 pistol. Where did you get it ? I haven't seen one in a while. " The guy seems to like my interest, "i actually got it from my grandfather," i nodded as he showed it to me, still holding thighly onto it.
