"This is fucked up"
"Not in front of her " Leo mumbled sending Atlas a pointed glare .
As soon as Charlie had confided in Leo he had scooped her up , gotten in their town car and taken her straight home .
He didn't say anything, he just held her as close as possible placing the odd kiss to her forehead.
In the car he had called both his brothers demanding they come home immediately, leaving no room for argument.
The family was now gathered in their large living room discussing what had happened.
"I need you to repeat it too me again babygirl "
Leo was trying to remain calm , he really was but when his five year old sister told him that she was approached by some creepy ass man calling her name and showing her a picture of their deceased mother he wanted to punch a hole in the wall.
However It was when his baby went on to tell him about the ominous comment on how much she was worth , well that was when he wanted to put a bullet in the sickos head.
"I-I don't think I-I can r-remember " Charlie whispered shakily, tears slowing flowing down her cheeks.
She was sat on the sofa, her brothers circling around her protectively as if to block the rest of the world out.
Charlie thought telling Leo would some how make everything better but now the little girl was even more scared , she had clearly underestimated the severity of what had happened.
Leo sighed crouching down in front of the upset toddler , "I know this is scary sweet girl , I really do and I'm so sorry for that . Big brother will make it better, I promise but I'm gonna need your help baby. Please try to remember as best as you can what happened."
Leo gently brought his thumb to her cheek wiping away the fresh tears and placing a loving kiss on to her forehead.
Charlie quietly sniffled using her sleeve to wipe her nose, "I-It was when Oscar went t-to look at more coats " She started looking down guiltily.
"I saw the s-scary man in a mirror and he pointed at m-me to come over , b-but I said n-no because I thought that's w-what you would want me to d-do".
Leo nodded comfortingly as if to encourage the little one to go on .
"The scary m-man then told me to come over a-again , but this time h-he-" before Charlie could finish she burst into sobs breaking each of her brothers hearts a little .
