Glen woke up to his alarm going off. Thomas was curled into the side. He untangled himself from his little brother and got out of bed. He went to make sure Zach was up before going to make coffee. Zach had fallen asleep in his clothes last night. Poor guy has been working so hard lately and now this new stress is being added on.
He shook Zach awake, "good morning sleeping beauty, did you sleep well in your jeans?" he teased.
Zach looked at how he had fallen asleep and chuckled. "Ugh I need a shower, could you start breakfast for the demons?" he mumbled as he rubbed his face trying to wake up.
Glen laughed "of course take your shower, I'll take care of breakfast after I wake those demons."
Glen was able to rangle the boys up without much fuss from any of them. Once he determined that all the boys were moving, he went downstairs and made himself a cup of coffee before starting breakfast. During breakfast the boys were pretty quiet, they usually are after a spanking and Glen couldn't remember how long it had been since all three earned a spanking In the same day. Glen broke the silence of the morning when he addressed Thomas.
"Thomas, I may need you to do dinner again tonight. Not sure if I'm working late."
Thomas nodded, "that's fine I can take care of it."
The normal hustle and bustle of the morning continued as always. Thomas drove the boys to school since he taught at their high school. Zach had been busy going over paperwork on his current case when the crime lab called him.
"What? Are you sure? Oh wow um thanks Katie for running that sample for me," Zach shook his head in disbelief
"Of course, anytime Zach, I'll have your glass here in the lab when you have a chance to pick it up," Zach hung up and saw he had a text from Glen.
He had dropped Glen off at work that morning since they planned to go talk to Steve when Glen was through with his hospital rounds. The two brothers drove in silence, neither was sure how they felt knowing soon they would be face to face with the women they both despised. Zach pulled into a side street and jumped out of the car.
"I'll be right back" He shouted as he headed into an alleyway. A few moments later he came back with Steve. The man got into the back of Zach's car. The tension in the car was thick
"Glen I wanted to apolo...," Steve started before Glen cut him off.
"Save it for someone who gives a shit" Glen snarled.
Steve sat back in the seat and was surprised when he saw Zach mouth I'm sorry in the rearview mirror. They pulled into a parking lot and the three got out to talk. Zach asked Steve to tell them what he knew about Claire. Glen glared daggers at Steve while he talked.
"Well I know she goes to school around here and your mother is still entertaining men in and out of her house all the time." Steve looked at Zach the whole time he was explaining what he knew.
Glen was sitting on the hood of Zach's car and suddenly jumped off and got in Steve's face.
"Wait, do you know where they live?" He growled.
Steve stepped back to give some distance between him and Glen. He blew out a breath before speaking.
"Um ya I followed them home one time, They live 20 minutes from Claire's school," he confessed.
Zach jumped in with a question that took Steve by surprise. "How were you able to follow them home when you are homeless and don't have a car?"
Steve looked back and forth between Glen and Zach and just as he was going to speak Glen's phone rang, "hello.....what happened?....okay we will be right there" Glen looked at Zach and sighed
