Chapter song: Treat me like somebody by Tink G
Caleb had just finished putting the fifth suitcase in the back of the car, he turn to go back inside but Ty's palm planted firmly on his chest stopped him. "Ty…..what…..?" "Your wife says that you've sexual feelings for my wife. Is that true, brother?" Ty asks in a cold tone.
Caleb was about to snort and dismiss what Ty had just said but something in his brother's voice told him that wasn't a smart idea, so after taking a deep breath he said in the most sincere tone he could muster. "No, that isn't true, brother."
But when Ty slowly lifts his eyes to him, Caleb could read, 'I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.' In bold capital letters. He opens his mouth to deny it again but closes it again when Ty narrows his eyes at him. So after taking another deep breath he spoke again. "Alright, you already know that I treat Janice a little more delicately than others because of all that she went through before she got here. She's more mysterious than the damn Bermuda triangle, how the hell she ended up with the body of a sex goddess and a killer virgin attitude to boot, is beyond me.
So do I like her a little more than I should, yes, but brother, you know me and you know that's one line I would never cross?" He states in a serious tone.
"What do you mean by, you like her a little more than you should?" Ty asks. "What do I mean, well, apart from mom, Janice is the most loving, caring, warm-hearted woman, I've ever met, and yes, she's a human being, not an angel but I swear to you, no matter how hectic my day is or how frustrated I may be feeling at the time, I just have to be around her for five minutes
And I would feel calm and at peace, she has this aura around her that surpasses anything I have ever encountered in my life and just so you know, even if you or I hadn't come to her rescue, that piece of shit would never have gotten to actually rape her because I got her panic signal the moment she realizes she was in danger and if I wasn't near, I would've sent someone to her rescue." Caleb sighs heavily before he continues.
"And not because I like her more than I should but because she's my little brother's wife, the mother of his kids, the woman that makes him happy, the woman he deserves and has been searching for his entire life and there is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do to keep her safe," Caleb said in such a loving and sincere tone, it brought tears to Ty's eyes.
Ty grabs Caleb's arm and drags him into a hug. "I love you, brother," Ty said as Caleb slaps his back lovingly. "Love you too little bro." "Alright then, I'll see you when I get back," Ty said pulling away. "Oh, you'll be seeing him a lot sooner than that," Fabian said walking over to them.
"I'm going to miss you, little bro." "Miss me? I hardly ever see you, dude." Ty laughs. "Yeah I know, my pregnant wife, work, and Anna talking my ears off on a regular basis keep me very busy." He laughs. "Anna has the habit of talking everyone's ears off, but that's what baby sisters are for right?"Caleb laughs. "True that." Ty nods.
"Let's not forget that our baby sister is now almost twenty years old, which means she's old enough to get married, so cherish these moments boys, they may not last for much longer." Fabian chuckles. "Bite your tongue, any man that wishes to have our sister's hand in marriage will have to go through me," Caleb smirks wickedly.
"Alright, I have to leave in half an hour so both of you just shush and back up a bit. Fabian, you said I'll be seeing him sooner than I think, why is that?" "Well because our bro here is on his way to Atlanta to personally thank Jared for organizing the whooping of Edwards," Fabian smirks.
"I still can't believe Jared was responsible for that, I mean, come on, never in my wildest dreams would I've ever thought….." "That underneath all those designer suits is a criminal mastermind?" Caleb asks cutting Ty's statement short. "Yeah, just goes to show, you never really know everything about a person," Ty said.
"True, I'm very grateful for what he did though and I want him to know it, speaking of which, Jared isn't the only one with hidden talents, did you two see the sketch Chris drew, and only from what Janice could remember of the man?" Caleb asks.
"That was a bloody good sketch, I mean I know he could draw but damn." Fabian nods in admiration. "And now I'm going to give it to a friend of mine at the station and let them run it through the system, see if we can find out who this punk is," Caleb states.
"Baby, we're ready," Janice said from behind him. "You hear my kitten, got to go guys, see you soon," Ty said waving goodbye. "Hey, you flying commercial or private?" Fabian asks. "Commercial, first class." "So, um…where's Samson and his jet?" Caleb asks. "Last I heard they were both in Hong Kong but hey we're not talking any chances, one of her doctors will be flying with us." "Alright bro, be safe and since the jet isn't available, I need to go book a flight." Caleb waves at them but as he turns towards the house the pleasant look on his face was replace by one of anger.
