It took at least an hour for everyone to clean up. There were a lot of people which made it much faster and it took half an hour to everyone leave.

I was upstairs tucking Peter and Tyler on their respective beds to sleep, smiling down at them. Tyler was already asleep as soon as I finished.

Peter was looking at me with his thumb in his mouth as I walked to him about to sing the Peter Panda Song to him when I heard Zoe exclaiming at Shane

"Thanks a lot, lieutenant Loser! Now I'm gonna be the school joke. I don't even know what I'm going to say to my friends"

I rolled my eyes. Shane voicing my thoughts out loud

"You call those people your friends?" He asked skeptically

I looked at Peter "I'll be right back, okay?" I whispered at him. He nodded.

I walked out of their room closing the door so they wouldn't listen to their sister arguing and I leaned against the wall crossing my arms, listening silently

"They have no respect for you. They have no respect for your home. You have no respect for yourself" Shane exclaimed pointing at her.

"I do too respect myself" Zoe countered, incredulously

Lulu peeked her head from her room and I shook my head sighing. She walked out of her room to my side hugging my waist as Zoe spoke. I placed my arm around her shoulders as Seth walked out of the bathroom from behind Zoe

"Company downstairs" Shane ordered "That means you too" Shane added pointing at me and Lulu

"You're not my dad" Zoe stopped him, speaking coldly. "In case you haven't noticed this family is going through a really hard time and you're just making everything a lot worse" she told him walking closer to him as Seth walked towards me and Lulu passing a hand from behind my shoulders. I leaned my head on his shoulder, he pulled me on a hug "You have no feelings. We hate you and you hate us"

I stayed silent, sighing and bit my bottom lip. Seth squeezed my shoulder

"So why don't you leave us alone?" Zoe asked him

Shane looked at her silently for a second, speaking slowly "Don't worry. When your mom comes back, I'm gone" he told her coldly.

I didn't like the tones they were using and Seth knew it as he tightened his grip on me side-hugging me tightly

A crash from somewhere in the house made us look to the side the noise came from.

Shane sighed in annoyance "Now what?"

"Scott" Zoe sighed

Just in that moment a window on the end of the hallway broke and two people dressed completely in black as ninjas stood in fighting stances facing us

I gasped pulling Lulu back as Seth did the same with me.

"Run! Take the babies! Go to your rooms!" Shane immediately ordered pushing Zoe back. I turned around running towards the youngests' room and grabbed Tyler on my arms and Zoe grabbed Peter.

Their room was near the fight between Shane and the ninjas so we ran away to the room across the hallway. As soon as we entered I made a quick head count. My breath hitching on my throat panicking once I noticed I was missing one

"Lulu?" I breathed in panic. I put Tyler on Zoe's arms and quickly walked out of the room for my sister once I heard her voice outside on the hallway

"Lexi!" Zoe called out

"Lulu!" Shane's panicked voice also mimicked mine as I grabbed her arm as soon as Shane grabbed the brooms she was giving him.

He pushed us back to the room as a ninja followed behind him towards us "Get inside! Come on!"

Zoe grabbed my arms and pulled me inside, Lulu secured safely on my arms ignoring her calling to Shane to wait. Shane closed the door, making me flinch because as soon as he did so there was a thud as if something had hit the door

I had my arms around Lulu breathing heavily as I looked down at her making sure she was okay "Are you crazy? Why did you do that?" I asked her incredulously while Seth barricaded the door with a reading chair, the sound of fighting still going on outside the room in the hallway

"You both scared me" Zoe exclaimed pulling us in a hug, which I returned with a hand sighing in relief.

It wasn't too long when we heard the knob of the door moving as someone tried to get inside, we backed away from the door, immediately sighing in relief hearing Shane calling to us saying it was safe.

Lulu was the first one on walking outside as I opened the door with Seth's help pushing the reading chair away from the door. I grabbed Tyler on my arms as we all walked to Shane in worry

Lulu hugging his waist.

All of us bombarding him with questions at the same time.

"Who was that?"

"What'd they want?"

"What happened?"

"Are you okay?"

Lulu looked up at him "Don't leave us!" She pleaded

"What did they want?" I asked calmer but I was freaking out inside.

Shane sighed "They were after the program that your father invented" he told us, pulling a hand away from Lulu and reaching down to his pants' pocket taking out a DVD showing it to us making me furrow my eyebrows in confusion seeing the word GHOST wrote on the disc.

"They were after this"
