Jamey watched as Faz made him coffee. "Thank you Muffin, Usually Jerry makes it for me." Faz gave him a smile as his bright red eyes stared back at him, "I'm so glad I could make it for you" He gave him the cup and made sure that he didn't burn himself. "Thank you for letting me make it for you. I also really do enjoy the nickname you gave me. How did you know I like muffins?" He praised him as Jamey sipped his coffee. "Lucky guess." He answered, making Faz ecstatic. "You have the best luck sir!" Jamey smiled a little. "I do don't I? Well, why don't you make me breakfast while I make a phone call?" Faz bowed. "Of course! Anything for you" he straightened up and left the room. Jamey watched him leave before picking up the phone and dialing a number. ".... Hi! You've reached Jerry Haylel! I'm not at the phone right now, but please leave a message at the beep!"

'Beep!'

Jamey took a deep breathe. "Jerry, I know what you did. If you think it's gonna go unpunished you have another thing coming, you have to come home sooner or later and when you do, I'll be waiting. I'm gonna grab a gun and put a bullet through your head for letting those four bill rats leave this building alive!" He started turning red. "YOU HEAR ME?! THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOUR FACE I'M TEARING YOU A NEW ONE! YOU COME BACK HERE AND I'LL CUT OFF YOUR HEAD AND STICK IT ON A PIKE IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING!" He forced himself to calm down, slicking his hair back. "I just want you to know... I'm very disappointed in you, but I'm also very angry at you. Make your decision" He hung up and took a couple of minutes to calm down, he looked at his hands. His claws were out and his skin was turning red, he growled softly and cursed Jerry for making him so angry. Just right then, Faz came into the room to deliver his food. "I got your breakfast!" Jamey hid his hands underneath the table. "Ah, Thank you so much" Faz set the plate in front of him, "Ah.. and um I apologize for speaking out of turn sir, but I heard yelling. Are you alright?" Jamey put on a cunning smile, "Yes, now that you're in the room" Faz blushed and smiled softly. "You're too much sir. I'm very flattered, would you like me to do anything?" Jamey glanced down at his, no longer red-clawed, hands. "You can let me pet your hair" he asked and propped himself up with his elbow. Faz nodded and scooted closer to him, bending down slightly and presenting his locks of brown hair. Jamey ran his fingers through it, enjoying at how soft they were. He enjoyed the way Faz was leaning into him, purring at every stroke he made and made little noises whenever he'd stroke near his bear ears.

"Sensitive, hm?" Jamey asked and grabbed his bear ear. Faz jolted, but still stayed perfectly still, making Jamey smirk. "Cutie" He let go and Faz straightened himself up again. "Eat with me?" Jamey asked and Faz beamed.

Jerry shook as he held tightly onto Max's arm, they were inside the Wilde building, in their room when they got the message. He replayed the message over and over again. "I knew it" Jerry said as he felt tears slip from his eyes. "He's gonna come and kill me" Jerry started shaking more, he felt so weak and terrified. Max was silent as he listened to the message again, he sighed and looked at Jerry. "Jerry, I'm gonna do something reckless" Jerry wiped his face and looked up at him. "W-what?"  He asked and Max took his phone and snapped it in half. Jerry gasped, "My phone!" He took the remains and looked at Max confused. "Jerry, You're no longer a Haylel" Jerry tilted his head a bit and was about to say something before Max continued. "You're a Wilde now"

Jerry stared up at him. "A-are... are you serious?" He whispered. Max nodded, "Jamey can't hurt what isn't his anymore" Jerry felt tears gush out of his eyes, he hugged Max close. He felt safe and protected around him. Max immediately wrapped his arms around him and held him close, Right now, Jerry was the most important person to him in this room. As they continued hugging they heard clapping. They both looked up and saw Alex leaning against the door frame, slow clapping. "Alex?" Max asked before Alex stopped him, "That was a lovely display Max, but you're forgetting one thing... CHRIS!! You're forgetting about Chris!! What are we gonna do when he finds out we're harboring a Haylel?!" Max got up and shushed him. "I have a plan for that!! Jerry's useful! He has dirt on Jamey and everything about the Haylel's" that made Jerry's heart break. "So I'm only useful when I have information" He said and sulked. Max winced and patted his head, "No no no no. I just said that so you could stay with us. Don't bring yourself down like that" He stroked his hair as he looked at Alex. "Okay, y'see? He knows weaknesses that we don't" Jerry leaned into Max. "Well.. I mean I do and I don't"

Alex looked at him. "What do you mean?" Jerry scratched his head. "Listen, Our Family are straight up psychos. I should know, since I'm the youngest. You need to understand that a lot of us have different weaknesses. I have mine, Jamey has his and well I can't say for the rest of my family" Alex raised an eyebrow, "What the hell does that mean?" Jerry looked at him. "It means that we're powerful demons who all have different weaknesses! Mine is the heart! I'm a possessed demon, once they take my heart out that's it! I'm done and I'm dead. For Jamey.. well that's complicated. He's a higher level demon so killing his heart won't do, he has like six." Max's eyes widened at that. "What about Holy water?" Alex interrupted. "Demons are weak against that" Jerry shook his head. "Lower class demons are. Higher class demons would need a whole pool filled with holy water" Alex bit his finger. "What's Jamey's weakness?" Jerry sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I... I... I don't know"

"What?" Alex said. Jerry winced and pulled at his hair, "I don't know! I've spent years with the man, but he hides his weakness well. I've never once seen the man flinch or hesitate with whatever he's doing. I-It's terrifying!!" Alex sat down on his bed, face in his hands. "I-I'm sorry" Jerry said as he stared at Alex's form. Max got up and went to his Brothers side to comfort him. Alex leaned into Max and sighed. "It's not your fault. It just feels like we're running out of options. We're pulling at strings and Chris is a huge problem becau-" he was interrupted by a menacing voice.

"Chris is a huge problem because of what Alex?" All three of them whipped their heads to see Chris, leaning against the doorway in all his glory.

~ before ~

"I'm sending your boys back" Chris talked into the phone. John rubbed his face, "How could they fail the mission? They weren't even able to do anything-" Chris growled. "They didn't pass it either!! They were suppose to bring me back my boy!" He slammed his fist into the table. John sighed through the phone, "I'm sorry we couldn't give you your son back. I'm sorry, we weren't able to help you" Chris took in his words and calmed down. "I'm sorry for yelling" Chris muttered. "I wang him back, safe and sound. I've sent dozens of my men to go after him, they've all met the same fate" he grimaced. "You're lucky to have your boys back. I should go talk with mine and ask why they couldn't even make it to the building" John agreed. "Mel and Flaz won't say anything either, but... thank you" Chris smiled a little. "Take care" he answered and hung up, he was exhausted. He spent days, weeks and almost a month trying to get back Faz. He couldn't risk endangering his boys anymore, he's been so blinded with getting Faz back, he didn't take in consideration of Max and Alex's feelings. They didn't feel like a family anymore and that's what scares Chris the most.

He decided to go and have a stern talk with his sons. He walked out of his office and down the long hallway leading to their rooms. He stopped and took a look around Faz's room, hating the way it looked dusty, hating how empty it felt. He missed how much Fish he had to clean off the floor, he sighed and cleared his throat. No time to get sappy now. He begrudgingly left the room and headed towards the twins room. He stopped at their doorway and froze. "What do you mean?" He heard Alex say. He saw a man near Max, with black curls im his hair. The black hair... looked familiar to him, like an old friend he's just seeing after a long time. The man explained to them the weaknesses and his own weakness. 'Foolish' Chris thought to himself as he leaned against the doorway. He saw how torn Alex was when the man didn't know the Haylel's weakness. Max comforted him like a good twin brother before Alex spoke up, "It's not your fault. It just feels like we're running out of options. We're pulling at strings and Chris is a huge problem becau-" Okay, now's his cue to enter.

He stepped in and spoke, "Chris will be a huge problem because of what Alex?" They all spun their heads towards him and here we are in the same exact spot as before, "Who is this?" Chris asked as he went towards Jerry and circled around him. "Not anyone I've met or known" He glanced towards Max, he could read him like a book, he was absolutely nervous, afraid that he'd find out something he wasn't suppose to. Alex remained the same, unmoving, studying what'd I do next. "Well?" Chris asked and stared at the twins. "He's my new boyfriend" Max spoke up and well, that surprised Chris. "Oh, why have we not met yet?" He asked and looked at Jerry, who waved at him and smiled a bit. "We just recently started dating. This is Jerry" Chris cocked his head to the side a bit, "last name?" Max flinched, but remained in his composure. Jerry bit his lip, "Uh, I... um..." Jerry had no response and Chris was about to say something before Max stopped him, "Wilde. Jerry Wilde. H-he had no last name, so I... I gave him ours"

Chris looked at Max and raised an eyebrow. "I don't like to be lied at Maxmillian" Max flinched at his full first name. "But" Max looked at Chris. "If you're willing to lie for him, then he must be important to you. Why don't we discuss this in the meeting room?" Alex bit his lip and turned to Max. "I-I'll go" Max stuttered a bit, but gave Alex a thumbs up as they followed Chris out. Alex sighed, "We're so dead"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And that's why he's with us" Max finished and watched Chris for his reaction. So far he's been unreadable. "Do you know how serious this is?" He finally spoke. "Harboring a Haylel? You know how bad this is gonna make us??" Jerry looked down and felt tears prick in his eyes, "I never asked to be born" He said. "I was never intended to be bad." He sniffed and wiped his face. "I'm so terrified of Jamey, he isn't the person I once knew, I didn't wanna be bad" Jerry started crying, he hiccuped and buried his face in Max's chest. Max hugged him close and started stroking his hair, a wave of guilt washed over Chris and he sighed. He hated to make people cry, he hated to see people cry.

"Stop, stop, stop" Chris spoke and Jerry glanced at him, his head still in Max's chest. "I'm sorry" Jerry said and wiped his face. "I don't know where else to go. Jamey's gonna hunt me down and kill me" Jerry looked at Max. "I had proof, before this guy destroyed my phone" Max smiled at him sheepishly. "He would've tracked you down here" Chris nodded. "What if you changed your look?" Chris offered. Jerry looked at him, "Change my look?" He pouted. "How do I do that? I'm pretty noticeable" Chris motioned towards himself and Max. "If you're going to stay here, you need to dress and act like a Wilde" Jerry's eyes widened a bit. "You mean-" Max hugged him close and smiled. Jerry felt tears prick up again, "T-thank you, r-really" he leaned against Max happily. Chris nodded. "Now, we need to get you new clothes- No suspenders" Making Jerry pout. "And you should grow out your hair" Jerry smiled. He was finally starting his life with a new family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can you find him?" Jamey blew out smoke as he talked on the phone. "Ha! Can I find him? Of course I fucking can. We're family after all" Jamey could practically hear his smugness. "Just find him, kill him and bring me his heart" He ran a hand through his hair. "Of course sir" the other voice told him. "I'll be sure to make it as painful as possible" Jamey grinned and hung up. He was gonna make Jerry pay for betraying him.
