Long Lost

Chapter 1: Ricky


Brax walked in the door after placing his board in the porch and his eyes rolled backwards reflexively at the sight that awaited him. He headed towards the kitchen picking up a cushion from the lounge before smirking at the satisfying sound of it coming sharply into contact with his brothers' head,

"Oi!" Heath yelled at the sudden knock looking up only for a laugh to erupt from beneath him,

"You two right?" Brax asked as he opened the fridge. After returning the milk to the door he turned to see Heath pulling Bianca up off the couch a red flush tinging the latters' cheeks.

"Community property" he said bluntly, staring at them pointing his hand at the lounge only making Bianca giggle harder and he shook his head,

"You have a room I'm pretty sure" it was at that point that Casey and Tamara walked in the door,

"How was school" he turned to the two youngest in the room,

"Borrrring" Tamara whined causing Bianca to turn towards her raising an eyebrow,

"Hey I took one of your classes today!" she protested,

"Yeah I hope you set a better example there than you do here Ms Scott" Brax interrupted with a pointed look, gesturing towards the couch for the second time, causing Heath to snort in laughter wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Alright I've got to head to Angelo's" Heath announced, pressing a kiss to the side of Bianca's head before looking up at Brax,

"Covering for Kyle" he offered as an explanation,

"Why what's he doing?" Heath simply shrugged in response and yet his answer came from Tamara who was headed towards her own room,

"Might have something to with Phoebe" she hinted and Brax let his head fall back letting out an exasperated huff. Bianca nudged him on her way past,

"Oh let them be happy" she grinned and he shook his head as he nodded goodbye to Heath,

"Oi bring some dinner back yeah?" Heath nodded following Bianca back to theirs to get changed. Brax turned back to grab the books he had brought back with him to go through and he'd barely sat down before his brothers yell caught his attention.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" Heath's voice rang out causing Brax to turn towards the door. Moving towards it, Casey and Tamara emerging once again from their rooms, he saw Heath with his arm holding Bianca behind him glaring forcefully at the man standing on their doorstep. The kid, now all grown up, that he hadn't seen in at least three years held his hands up in surrender as Brax stepped up beside Heath,

"Guys just….-"

"What are you doing here?" Brax asked sharply his brow creasing as he stared at the man.

"Just hear me out" he said almost pleadingly and Brax's eyes narrowed as he considered the man with wide eyes. His gaze was skittish flicking back and forth between them and the street. Brax sighed there was no way in hell he was going to invite this hell and trouble into his house,

"Get out of here Vincent" Heath said beating him to it,

"Hey Casey" Vincent said ignoring Heath and Brax's eyebrows shot upwards glancing back at his youngest brother before stepping forwards,

"You don't talk to him" he growled. He knew the guy was trouble, over his dead body would he allow him to drag Casey into whatever he was dealing with,

"Whatever you want we're not interested, now get out" his words were blunt leaving less than no room for discussion as he held his gaze. Vincent nodded taking a step back and then bowing his head, running his hands through his hair nervously as if torn. His eyes returned to their street glancing up and down it several times before looking back up at Brax,

"Guys please, it's Ricky"
