We were on the hunt for brother number one, Lip found their addresses and was driving us to the first house. Jerry Gallagher."Did Steve buy you the car?" Ian asked, breaking our silence. "No, I bought it. Had $74,920 lying around," Lip joked as we parked outside a house. "Ah, money well spent."
The three of us got out of the car and began walking towards the house. Lip held his cell to his ear, "Yo, where are you? Sorry about yesterday all right? Call me back, don't be mad."
"Karen," I guessed, Lip nodded slowly. I felt bad for him, I could tell he really liked Karen, but she was no good for him.
"So why is it, we've never met any of Frank's brothers?" Ian inquired as we approached a gate. "Family reunions are for families," Lip mumbled with a frown.
We walked through the gate and jogged up the stairs until we found the front door. I rocked on my feet as Lip knocked on the door. "And will the guy behind door number one be the twin Gallaghers' ticket out."
"Shut up." The door behind the gate covering opened exposing a man who looked completely identical to Frank. "Yeah?" He asked, opening the gate. My eyes widened as the sight of him.
"Oh my god!"
"Holy shit!"
Frank's twin stared at us, "What do you want?" Lip took a small step forward, "Uh, hi. Sorry, my name is Phillip and this is my sister Alyssa and my brother Ian," Lip told him.
"Yeah, so?" Jerry shrugged blinking. Lip nodded, "Well, we're Frank Gallagher's kids and we're wondering..." Jerry began to close the door as Lip spoke, "If we could talk to you about.." Lip trailed off when the door slammed.
"Off to a good start," Ian muttered, stuffing his hands in his jacket pockets. Lip scratched his face, "I mean, that explains the twin thing," he wore a slight frown, "Hey, did you know dad was a twin?"
"No," I shook my head. Lip clicked his tongue and raised his hand to the door again before he could knock, Ian moved to grab his wrist, "Hey! What are you doing?"
"We should at least talk to him," Lip shrugged, Ian copied his action, "He just slammed the door in our faces!" He hissed.
"We probably scared him." Ian looked at the ground for a moment, "I don't want that dick to be our father, all right," he spoke in a calmer tone. Lip shook his head, "We're here, we should at least find out more about him."
Lip knocked again, there was a reply instantly, "I have a shotgun and I'm not afraid to use it!"
I smiled at Lip, "Happy now?" Lip nodded with a pout. "Okay, let's go."
