Dom saw the light in the spare bedroom was on as he stopped the car outside the front door.

"Eli's probably in bed," he said, motioning the window.

"Ten quid says he's not asleep." Rex yawned widely and stretched.

"Ten quid says you're in an even fouler mood tomorrow when Tyler Dougherty comes out of the surgery with the use of his leg." Dom smiled.

Rex grunted sourly.

"Bastard." He muttered. "They should cut it off, just to teach him a lesson... And his dick."

"Come on, grumpy-old-man. Let's get some chow and go to bed."

"Do I get sex tonight?" Rex asked, batting his eyelids.

Dom pushed his shoulder as they walked up to the front door.

"Only if Aidy's asleep." Dom yawned.

"Wouldn't have thought that'd matter to you."

Dom laughed.

"I'm not as much of a sex-beast as you seem to think, you know."

"Oh yeah? Then how come every time I come over, Adrian's limping a little because you were overenthusiastic the night before?"

Dom opened the front door and they stepped inside, shrugging off their coats and kicking off their shoes.

Dom had barely closed the door when the heard Eli cry out from the spare room, calling for Rex.

They bolted up the stairs, hearing a loud thump as they ran, and burst into the spare room.

They stopped dead when they saw Eli and Adrian on the floor, a wriggling, writhing mass.

Mia gave a soft 'woof' as they entered.

"Rex, help!" Eli yelped. "He's-" His voice was choked by a burst of laughter.

Rex saw Adrian's fingertips dig lightly into Eli's ribs, tickling him mercilessly.

Dom grinned at Rex, before going over and wrapping his arms around Adrian's waist, lifting him bodily off of Eli.

"Evening, gorgeous." He murmured, kissing Adrian's neck.

"Meanie." Aidy pouted. "He won't apologise now."

"Apologise for what?" Rex asked, grinning at Eli, who was panting breathlessly on the floor, his face flushed, hair tousled.

"I said something about earmuffs," Eli said, waving his hand to close the topic and scrambling to his feet.

He stuck his tongue out at Adrian and danced over to Rex.

"I think we'll need them tonight. Adrian's horny."

Rex snorted at Adrian's expression.

"We can deal with that later," Dom said smoothly, smirking at Eli. "Is there anything to eat?" He asked Adrian.

"Sandwiches... There might be some soup from lunch as well."

The four went downstairs, and waited patiently while Adrian heated soup.

"So, what happened today?" Eli asked quietly when they were all eating.

Rex looked at him uneasily.

"Come on, Rex. Were you planning on not talking about it?"

"I... We talked to Francis. About Tyler."

"That's his name?" Eli asked.

Dom nodded.

"She told us why he... did it. Or rather, why she thinks he did it. He's been in surgery for most of today so we couldn't ask him directly."
