Chapter 1: Finding Kyle
Brax was pacing the room, eyebrows deepened in frustration, worrying about his little brother's future. Casey was currently in jail – facing charges for armed robbery, the murder of Danny Braxton and for failing to show up in court. He couldn't let Casey get sent down because none of it was his fault – their dad had tricked Casey resulting in his death and then Casey missed his court case when he got kidnapped by Kyle – their half-brother who they didn't even know about – who wanted revenge for the murder of their mutual father.
Heath stood out from the couch and said, "Listen Brax, we'll keep Casey out of jail, don't worry."
Heath was worried for Casey as well, even though Heath teased him constantly, Casey was his little brother and he knew that Casey didn't deserve to spend time in prison because of their dad – who had tricked them all.
Brax stopped pacing and looked at his brother. He wanted to believe him, he did but he had to be realistic. It was his job to protect Casey, it always had been, and he had failed. He let Casey get mixed up with Dad and now they had to face the consequences of Casey potentially spending time inside.
"Heath, the lawyer said it himself. We have no defence because there is no evidence that the reason he didn't show up in court was because he was kidnapped by Dad's other kid. And failing to show up in court just adds to his list of charges!"
Heath adamantly said, "Then we find evidence. We'll find the kid and get him to make a statement to say it was his fault that Casey didn't show up in court. I'm not letting Casey get banged up."
Brax replied, "Do you honestly think that he will just agree to give evidence for Casey at his own expense? He took him to the desert and was gonna kill him!"
"We'll make him give evidence; you don't mess with a Braxton and get away with it." Heath replied.
Heath's words prompted Brax to take action, so he nodded at Heath and left the house, determined to do something that would help him to help Casey.
An hour later, Brax returned to the house and the sound of the door opening made Heath turn his head towards the door. He looked at his older brother who looked like he hadn't slept in days – which he probably hadn't because all he had been doing was worrying about Casey.
Brax said three words, "Kyle Bennett, Melbourne," and then left for his room. Understanding that they had to go to Melbourne to find Kyle, Heath followed suit and went to pack a bag.
Brax re-entered the living room and asked his brother, "Ready?"
He received the sound of a bag zipping up as a response. The two brothers left for Melbourne – hoping to find their half-brother whose testimony in court could change Casey's future.
Brax and Heath walked around the crowded streets of Melbourne as they ate their lunch.
"Listen mate, not wanting to repeat myself but all we've done so far is sight-seeing and stuffing our faces. We need to find the kid and take him back with us so he can testify in court for Casey." Heath exclaimed to his elder brother.
"Heath, I know that and I told you, I'm still waiting on the address. We just have to be patient." Brax replied.
As he spoke, Brax's phone beeped. He fished it out of his pocket and said, "Just in time. We've got an address."
Smiling, glad that they could finally do something, Heath said, "Then what we stood around here waiting for? I think it's about time I met our brother, don't you?"
