The Hunter Brothers

Chapter Two

The next morning Cage woke up to a loud crashing sound. He jumped up and rushed out to the main room. Looking around he was looking for the cause of the destruction. A scream and a bark told him where they were so he rushed to her. He grabbed the gun off the top of the cabinet and rushed around the corner. Gun pointed at a full grown person's level, he blinked as he seen no one but the mischievous eight year old girl and old wolf hound. Bane was wagging his tail happily and sitting by the young ginning girl. "What the heck is going on here?! I thought someone may have broken in and was going to harm you Amy!" The young girl looked down and moved her foot back and forth. "Sorry Mr. Cage but we just got super excited and we're running but had bumped into a shelf or two. I got scared so I ran in here and Bane scared me when he came around the corner." He looked at them both and seriously thought he was going to lose his mind. "Well now you have to pick up the mess you made and yes Bane knows how to do that trick but don't expect him to do it all. Now get in there and clean it up young lady." Amy nodded and hurried past the aggravated man only to get scolded again. "No running or he will make a bigger mess!" Cage sighed as he heard a mumbled 'sorry sir' and then a bark.

Zex came out and glanced at the mess in his den then went straight into the kitchen where Cage was making coffee. "Do I want to know about that mess in the other room?" Cage tensed then peeked over his shoulder and shook his head. "Didn't think so but then again shouldn't you be the one picking up some of it. Never know what she might stumble upon in there, boy." Then the older man glanced at his godson. "You might also want to put on some pants too. Sorta inappropriate to be in your boxers around a young girl." Watching Cage, the older seen his ears turn red. "Duly noted Zex, I'll go get dressed now. Don't drink my coffee, you know I need my coffee." As he walked out the room his father figure walked over and moved his cup an inch from it's original spot and smiled. He put a few dashes of salt in the other's cup. He fixed himself a cup then sat down and waited for the show.

After a few minutes the young man came back and went straight for his coffee. "What the hell! I told you not to drink my coffee but seeing as it's the same level it rises a question as to what you did to it?" Zex smiled and said nothing, enjoying the spazzing from the paranoid male. Grumbling Cage grabbed his cup and sniffed it then took a small sip. Nothing seemed off so he walked off into the other room. Zex chuckled as soon as the other stormed back in. "Salt, really you had to put salt in my coffee! Grow up would you. Geeze and I wonder why my brother don't listen to me on missions." He poured out the other half of his cup and sat the empty cup down. He glared at the older man as he walked back into the other room to finish cleaning up. Amy came jogging into the kitchen and smiled. "That was funny Mr. Zex. You should keep doing stuff like that or better yet teach me your ways." I'm going to enjoy having this squirt here if she's willing to drive that brat nuts. "I will teach you all my tricks of the trade and you be my successor for once I pass on. Sound good kiddo?" "Uh huh but please don't die Mr. Zex, it would be so boring here without you." Her smile warmed his heart. "No promises sweetie but I'll try my best."

About an hour from then Kyran could be heard grumbling and groaning. "Hey I'm going to go check on Ky behave, both of you." Cage said as he glared at the two trouble makers. Amy looked at Bane and he barked as he looked back at her. As he entered his brother's room, his eyes skimmed over the bed. "Cage I feel like I'm on fire. Could you get a fan or maybe run me a chilled bath." The older of the two sighed and shook his head. "I'll run you a luke warm bath not too cold and I'll ask about a fan for your room. Hang on while I run your bathwater Ky." As he walked away his brother groaned again. "I'm hungry too bub, can I have breakfast in there too?" A scowl marred Cage's handsome features. He acts like he is dying. Once the water was ran he helped his brother into the tub. He then went and made some eggs and bacon with jam covered buttered toast. Cage grabbed a glass of oj and he carried the tray into the bathroom. Kyran was laying in the tub and his face was still red. He has a fever. That could be very bad after his run in with that wolf shifter. Especially since he got showered with the silver and wolfsbane dust.
