It was already 9:30, on a warm summers night, Kyle wished he had arranged cover for him at Angelos this evening so that he could have pizza and watch the footy game with his brothers. Surfing, fighting, heavy weights were not the way that Kyle spent time with his with his brothers, they hardly shared any interests, in this case Kyle was eager to go home. Having asked the new head chef to lock up, he started off home with four warm pizzas in his hands.

…

Back at the house the boys were getting ready, brax got the beer out of the fridge, casey tidying his school books away, health jumped on the couch. Bianca and Ricky had gone on a pampering retreat which meant the boys felt likes kings of the castle, a little far more than they should.

"Where is he, I'm starving"? Whined Health, he clearly didn't care much about Kyle coming just the food and his stomach.

"He is probably chatting up the new barmaid". Winked Casey.

"Oh she is quiet, good eye candy… but Kyle needs to be careful of the quiet ones"… Brax asserted, though Brax felt that he never really has to worry about Kyle as he never brought trouble to his doorstep since he had come to live with them in Summerbay.

"Shh the footie is starting" Health gestured whilst clipping his fingers at Brax and Casey.

"What a terrible mascot, how can he wear that with pride?" Stated Brax

Knock on the door**

Casey questioned whether Kyle had forgotten his key, Health his hunger getting the better of his sprang up to answer the door.

"About time"… mumbled Health, however this wasn't Kyle, this man was much bulkier in size, bigger than Heath but a good match for Brax. His appearance, was questionable he looked like an older generation of the River boys where you could tell he had trained and won many fist fights and bear scars on his face to prove it. People would say he resembled the Braxton boys father, however he was dressed in a suit, unlike any river boy unless they were going to court.

Brax and Casey didn't take their eyes away from the TV and Health looking furtherly disappointed stated he wasn't interested and began to close the door. Though the door became jammed, Health looked down and noticed a foot at the bottom of the door. Health rhetorically asked "you alight!"

At this point all attention was at this man at the door,…

"Hi I am Owen Blake, I'm looking for Kyle Bennet, do you know where he will be", the man raised a calm smile, he had relaxed shoulders, nothing looked too menacing, though appearance was something the Braxton brothers were hardly afraid of.

"So are we", exclaimed Health before he got tapped by Brax who now decided this was a good time to go to the door. Brax examined this man and came to the conclusion that this man was not a threat though he questioned "what do you need him for?"

"Well I'm his uncle, just came from Melbourne for a visit thought we would have a catch up" said Owen

"Kyle said he didn't have any uncles!" Casey giving a confused look, he was certain that Kyle mentioned he had no family which is why he ended up in Care.

"Why would Kyle share his lifestory with you?" laughed Owen

"Because he is our brother, now is there anything we can help you with?" said Brax firmly.

Owen realised he needed to be careful with his new found company to get them on side.

"Hey look I have just traveled a long journey, and I am glad I did, Kyle always wanted brothers, he was a good kid, always did right, the social made it difficult for me to see him growing up"

"Right" replied Brax. Goal was scored and Brax felt he wanted to make a decision about him.

"Ah the footie! I always laugh at the mascots, they look ridiculous". Owen realised that this was the way he would be able to get the brothers to feel comfortable with him. "Can't I wait here for him, watch the game?"

Yeh alright you have travelled long, come pick up a chair from the kitchen table and bring it here. suggested Brax.

Owen sat down pretending to feel tired but in the inside feeling pretty smug! Casey gave him a beer.
