Zoot trembled this stranger was attacking his brother. Bray was trying to say something, yet no-one was listening to him. He had to do something, he couldn't just stand here. He might hate his brother but that didn't mean that anyone could hurt him. He watched as Lex as he had been identified repeatedly hit Bray. He shook with anger. He was the King of the Loccos he didn't just stand by and watch this. He wasn't a coward. He stepped forward. "Fight me!" he shouted, Bray's eyes widened in fear for his brother.

"Martin! No!" Bray yelled. Lex and Ryan let go of Bray and charged at Zoot. "NO!" He screamed again and ran towards his brother who had stopped at the sound of his true name. Zoot glared at Bray, he hated people knowing his true as he had figured there were only three people alive who knew it. Bray, Trudy and Ebony. He suddenly thought of something. Where were Trudy and his baby? He wondered if it had a name. He had to admit on some level he was glad that Bray had found her and delivered his baby. At least it wasn't some total stranger. Yet why was it always his brother?

Lex and Ryan reached Zoot first and Lex punched him across the face and drew back to hit him again. "NO!" The scream surprised everyone. Trudy was standing at the foot of the stairs in one hand she held her - no Zoot reminded himself their - tiny baby. "Let him go" Her voice was ragged with pain and fear. She climbed the stairs and Zoot was able to see that her legs were trembling. Bray had been telling the truth. She was really sick.

"Trude!" His voice shocked himself for how weak it sounded. He really was winded. He saw he knees begin to buckle. "NO!" He shouted as she fainted. Lex and Ryan, who had loosened their grip on Zoot at Trudy's arrival, were completely shocked when he pulled out of their grip and was down the stairs to Trudy's side before she hit the ground. Bray was beside him in a minute. He lifted Trudy up and checked her pulse quickly. He nodded to Zoot. She was alive. Zoot took the little child from its mother's arms and held it to his chest. He could feel its little puffs of breath against his neck.

The Tribe watched in shock. Bray carefully shook Trudy a little and then checked her temperature. "Dal! She needs more anti-biotic!" He shouted. Dal hurried over to get them. Amber, Salene and Zandra watched in horror as the leader of the most feared tribe in the city clutched the small child tightly and rocked her soothingly.

"Zoot! Give the baby back!" Amber ordered she was admittedly terrified. The poor thing wasn't even a week old. She could see that Zandra and Salene were willing to tear the man to shreds but didn't in fear of hurting the baby.

"No!" This time it was Bray who spoke. "He doesn't need to. Why should he?" The crowd gasped at him.

"I am not putting her down." Zoot spoke in his most commanding voice. "I am the one who should be mad!" Trudy stirred as if she recognised Zoot's voice.

"Zoot?" The name tumbled off her lips and everyone jumped. Zoot kept passed his daughter to Bray and lifted Trudy into his arms. He glanced at Bray who walked up the stairs to be followed by his brother. They walked into Trudy's room and Zoot laid her on the bed. He kept his arm around her and he sat on the bed with her lying on his lap. The tribe followed them Lex and Amber at the front. Bray passed the baby to its father and turned to face the crowd that had gathered. He stood protectively in front of his brother, child and its mother.

"What is going on?" Lex growled. "I told you we couldn't trust him. Now we have the Loccos coming here."

"They're not coming. They don't know where I am." Zoot spoke but he didn't even face Lex. Instead his gaze was fixed on Trudy. He watched the rise and fall of her chest while at the same time, rocking is baby gently.

"You went to tell him where we were, the other day!" Chloe cried she stepped forward. Her face was tear-stained and she trembled all over. "You" She pointed at Bray, "told me that he wasn't going to hurt us. You said not to tell anyone about him." Her voice was shaking.

"Is this true?" Amber asked.

"Yes." Bray admitted. "However I was only bringing him here for one reason."

"To kill us all?" Lex asked in a bitter voice.

"No. To see my daughter." Zoot spoke in a voice that made Bray think of his younger brother once more.

"Your daughter?" Salene was in shock. She had nursed the baby and know to be told it was the child of one of the most evil leaders in the city.

"Yes. She left the Loccos a few weeks ago. I was worried about, her and then Bray found me and told me that she was ill and my baby was born." Zoot finally glanced at the watching crowd.

"Why did you tell him?" Zandra asked.

"Because he's my brother." Bray admitted in defeat.
