"Thank you for this Adam, it meant the world to me, having my brother here" Kim said as she loaded the dishwasher "I mean it, I hated fighting with you"
Adam sat on the countertop, "I hated it too, I'm still scared Kim, Scampanelli isn't gonna let this go" he jumped down from the counter to stand beside her
"I know, and we will be careful" she closed the dishwasher, "Anthony sleeping yet?"
"Sure is, has been for about thirty minutes now" Adam said lifting Kim up on the counter, "we have some business to attend to Mrs.Ruzek" he kissed her.
Only to be interrupted by the doorbell, "you've got to be kidding me" Adam said as his forehead rested on Kim's "I will get it"
"I will be in the bedroom, whoever it is send them away!" Kim teased.
"I'll do my best" he laughed and went to the door, surprised to see his dad on the other side, "what's wrong?" he knew something was wrong just by look on his dad's face and it was obvious Amy had been crying.
"Son, can you get Kim?" Bob asked as they sat down.
"Dad? You're scaring me, what's wrong?" Adam asked again.
"Adam, get Kim" Amy told him.
Adam went down the hallway and into the bedroom "it's about time, I was about to send a search party" Kim said, she turned to face Adam and saw he was as a white as a sheet, "baby, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, my dad and Amy are in the living room, they need to talk to us about something" Adam said as he sat on the bed and waited for Kim to get dressed again.
"He's going to hate me Amy, I know it" Bob said fearfully, "once he knows the truth I'm going to lose him"
"You don't know that honey, but I do know he needs to hear it from you and not Linda" Amy felt that woman would twist the facts to make Bob look horrible.
Kim and Adam returned joining them on the couch, "dad I'm kind of freaking out here, you look awful" Adam grabbed Kim's hand.
"It's about your brother, and how he died" Bob muttered.
Adam felt relieved "shit, Dad, you scared me. I know how Anthony died he was accidentally shot" he couldn't understand what had his father so upset.
Bob felt a lump in his throat, "that's partially right, Adam I didn't tell you the truth that night" a few tears escaping his eyes "I wanted to protect you, you were just a little boy, please remember that when I tell you the truth"
---Note----

As always, thanks!
