Chapter 6 : Noisy

Theo tried to skip lunch because he said he already had a late breakfast. But I know damn well what kind of breakfast he usually eats. It's only a piece of pancake, and that orange juice Rio got him earlier. Yup, I'm definitely not going to let him skip lunch.

Lucky for me, Soap is good at tricking a child. It seems he has so much experience talking to kids. I'm thankful for him because it saves me time bribing Theo about something else just for him to eat. He usually doesn't act like this; he's a good little brother, but I think something has been bothering him to make him act like this. Which I need to know soon or later.

After the maids clean the living room, the atmosphere in the room is very pleasant. It's comforting.

My brother is playing a game with Soap and Gaz while Ghost, like usual, is just sitting alone, watching his surroundings. Ah, right, he's also excused himself to eat alone. I think he really didn't like it when people he didn't know saw his face. I'm going to remember that.

And as you can guess, Laswell, Price, and Rio are talking between themselves. Sometimes I'm also wondering about it: how could they let Rio join in their conversation and not me? If they're going to talk about the CIA or the mafia gang, am I not the right choice? I know Rio is the right-hand man; have been under my father's command, but still, why can't I?

I look down at my phone and open the contact. I was searching for a K, and when I found his name, I clicked on it and pressed call.

I bring it up to my ear as I look at the guys playing with my little baby. It doesn't even take a second, and the caller immediately picks it up.

"Guten Tag, (Y/N)."

I smiled when I heard his voice. "Guten Tag, Kil. Wie geht es dir?" I get myself comfortable on the sofa as I lean back against it while my eyes are still trained on the game my brother plays with Soap and Gaz.

"Gut. Besser, wenn Sie anrufen. Was ist mit dir?" I could sense his smile from his words, and I couldn't help but let out a smile as well.

"Good, good. Theo vermisst dich so sehr. Er fragt sich, wann Sie wieder zu Besuch kommen werden." My eyes wander to look around myself, only to notice now that Ghost's gaze is trained on me. I raise my eyebrow at him. And he only keeps looking at me without doing anything else. Whatever. If you want to look, I'll look at you too.

"Ah ja. Ich mache im November eine Pause."

"Really? Darüber würde sich Theo freuen. Bleibst Du?"

"Ja natürlich. Ich vermisse dich. Wie geht es Theo?" At the mention of Theo, I break eye contact and look at my brother.

"Ihm geht es gut, er spielt jetzt ein Spiel mit jemandem. Willst du mit ihm reden?"

"Ah, you have guests? Who is it?" His voice faltered a little, but I guess it's just because he knows it's been a while since I received guests beside him.

"Just some friends from my aunt. So, do you want to talk to him?" Nevermind, I changed my mind to ask Theo instead. "Actually, wait a second." I slightly lower my phone, then call for Theo.

"Theo, baby, Uncle Kil is here; do you want to talk to him?" At the mention of Kil, he quickly dropped his controller and ran to me.

"Да, да, да! Пожалуйста!" He slightly jumps up and down in front of me. I chuckle at him as I come to ruffle his hair, then give my phone to him. He took a seat beside Ghost and started talking with his uncle Kil in German.

I can't help but shake my head at him. Then my eyes wonder at Soap and Gaz, who are already looking at me. Poor guys being dumped off by Theo. "Let me play with you guys while Theo is on the phone." I get up from my seat and take Theo's place, sitting in between the guys.
