(GILBERT)

"Hand over the USB the girl was talking about," Zane immediately held out his hand to Master Robin as soon as we entered the penthouse. "I know you have it and I need it on my hands in the next ten seconds."

Master Robin put down his backpack on the floor before fishing out a little black USB from the pocket of his pants. "Here. We did all of that to get it. It's evidence," he said while handing the USB to his uncle.

"Evidence of what? That you let one girl blackmail the two of you?" Zane is getting angrier and angrier by the seconds.

I gasped. "What happened? Blackmail...what?"

"These two," Zane gestured at Master Robin and Blu. "Let Blu's bestfriend get away with blackmailing them both..."

"It was not blackmail," Blu protested the term.

"It is if she is threatening you with something!" Zane waved his hand holding the USB. "Why didn't both of you tell us what's happening? You should have come to us the moment you received threats on your person!"

He is right. I understand why Zane is feeling upset. We go around thinking that the trouble the boys are brewing is nothing too serious. Now we will learn that they were being blackmailed? That's a serious matter.

"You should've come to us. We could have helped," I said. "Now it all escalated to the point that Blu will miss two weeks of school." I couldn't help feeling upset the more I think about it. We could have avoided all of these if they just came to us for help.

Blu winced, "It could have been worse." He said.

Zane's scowl grew darker. "What do you mean it could have been worse?" He asked.

Master Robin and Blu sighed before they nodded at the USB in Zane's hand. "Watch it," Master Robin said. Zane looked at me. I nodded and ran to get the laptop. I set it on the center table in the living room and the three of us kept standing as Zane fired up the laptop and get the USB in it. We selcted the folder from the USB and opened it.

I gasped when I saw the photos. Zane's hands fisted. "You stupid imbecile," my lover glared at Master Robin while the screen freeze on a photo of Master Robin together in bed with Blu's bestfriend. "This happened after the celebration party in the club, am I right?"

Master Robin nodded. Zane took a visible deep breath. "That's the last time I will throw a party for you. Not again until you proved to me that I could trust you. This!" My lover pointed at the laptop's screen. "Could have ruined your whole life! Didn't you know that?!" He was shouting at the end of it.

"I'm sorry, Uncle." Master Robin looked down, properly chastised.

"He is sorry, Zane." I stood by the boys side. Zane stood up as he glowered at me. "They don't deserve your sympathy, Gilbert. They don't deserve anything from us! After all that we have done for them! All our sacrifices! And for what?! So Robin could throw away his life recklessly and for Blu to ruin his life because he chose the wrong friend!"

I saw Master Robin's hands fisting. Blu noticed too as the other boy reached to touch Master Robin's arm.

I want to argue with Zane but arguing in front of the boys won't help anyone. Besides, I know from experience that no one can match Zane's energy when he is furious, so I kept my mouth shut. For now...

"And what about this video Blu was talking about?" Zane sat down again to look for the video. He found it easily and press play. I bit a knuckle as to not make any sound while I am watching Master Robin having a panic attack and kissing Blu.
