Hey wow five reviews and seven alerts. Guess ideas do work hee.
My original plan for this seems a little drastic and maybe out of character so I decided to go a different route.
In Jonas 'chasing the dream' episode Nick says he's three points shy of a genius. So I thought is Nicholas as smart as my man Tim McGee from NCIS?
See Timmy has hacked into the CIA, FBI, you get the idea. So that's the idea and title for this chapter. Hacking can be fun.
Kevin Lucas didn't know what to do. After he had gotten the pain relievers and water for Frankie, he stood like a zombie. He was the oldest, it was his job to make sure all three of them were safe.
He was horrible at it though. Joe was always doing stupid stunts on stage and he just laughed. He laughed and didn't stop him. He blamed himself for the time Joe got carried away and had to get stitches in his skull.
He blamed himself when Nick found out he was diabetic. He wished it was him.
Now Frankie, little sweet Franklin Lucas was getting beat up. He blamed himself for that too.
Nick Lucas was having the same trouble. Not as much guilt but he didn't know what to do either. They both stood there and watched as Joe ruffled Frankie's hair.
He then turned and looked at his younger and older brother.
"You both don't have to keep watch, I think he is going to sleep for a while, poor kid" Joe said after five minutes of silence.
That seemed to knock them both to their senses. Kevin and Nick nodded. They turned to leave and Joe stopped them. "Wait! I need help" he said.
They stopped and Joe jumped off the bed and found a shirt in his dresser.
"Kevin, lift him up gently but don't wake him" Joe instructed and Kevin obeyed. He sat on the bed and lifted Frankie into a sitting position. Frankie stirred but he just put his head on Kevin and continued to sleep.
Joe worked fast and put Frankie's arms through his shirts holes and then slipped it over his brother's head. Then they laid him back down.
Nick went to help but he saw his big brothers could handle dressing Frankie alone so he went to his bed.
He picked up the laptop he kept there and turned it on. When it loaded he had an idea.
"This way mom doesn't see his bruises" Joe was explaining. "Good thinking Joe, guess your brain does work sometimes" Nick said.
"Thanks…Hey!" Joe answered. Nick chuckled as his brother got it. "Hey is for horses Joseph, now keep quiet I have to concentrate" he shot back.
"On what?" Joe asked the insult forgotten. Nick shot him a glare as he looked over his shoulder and the boy backed away.
"Fine be that way" he said. He left the room and went back downstairs.
Kevin sat next to Frankie and gently stroked his hair. "Be strong little brother, I'm so sorry" he whispered.
Nick heard it but pretended not to. He was touched though that Kevin took his role so seriously. All his brothers annoyed him at times but he would never trade them for anyone.
An hour passed and the room was eerily quiet. Joe had walked back in half hour later and tried to strum a guitar but put it away as he was glared at. This time by both brothers.
"Don't wake him, I'm trying to concentrate" both said simultaneously and Joe stuck his tongue out at them but put down the guitar.
With nothing left he went and lifted weights. Kevin went back to the book he picked up when Joe came back.
Another half hour passed before Nick had news. "Got it, come here you guys" he called and the two brothers jumped up and over to his bed.
"All right, I think I found Josh, I narrowed it to a few kids" Nick said when they were behind him.
"How?" Joe asked and Nick sighed. "There are three Joshua's in Frankie's class but I think I can find our little punk" Nick went on, ignoring Joe.
"How?" Joe asked again. "Frankie says Josh's brother is angry at us, I think I recognize one Joshua's last name" Nick answered.
"No Nicholas…how did you know there were three Josh's?" Joe asked and Nick shrugged.
"It's not that hard, hacking the system only took me a half hour" he admitted and Joe's eyes went wide.
"You really are three points shy of a genius" he said. He was impressed and freaked out by Nick's work. Freaked out because he was partially sure what Nick did was illegal.
"Relax Joe, I made sure I can't be traced" Nick said as though reading his thoughts.
Kevin was a little shocked too at Nick's plan but he was too busy reading the names to scold.
"Hutchinson? Why does that one sound familiar?" he questioned. Joe, who wanted to scold Nick looked at Kevin instead.
"You think he's the one?" he asked and Kevin shrugged. "The name just sounds familiar, more than Page and Retch anyway" he answered.
Joe looked at the names and agreed. It then hit him hard like Macy when she was having her fan girl moments.
"Michael! Michael Hutchinson, he's the lead singer of Rebel, his music was actually pretty good" Joe said.
Kevin smiled. "You're right Joey, he was that kid, I remember now" Kevin said.
Nick turned around to face his brothers. "Wait a minute. Are you saying our baby brother was beaten up cause we beat that crazy band Rebel?" he asked and Kevin nodded.
It all then made sense. Last week the Lucas brothers had been invited on to a new talk show. It was their first episode and they wanted a band to play on so they had a contest out for a month to find a good band.
It had come down to Jonas and a new band called Rebel. Rebel was three guys too but they weren't brothers, they were cousins. Mike had given them the stink eye when his band had lost.
"I think we should have a little talk with Mikey, get reacquainted" Joe said getting angry again.
Nick nodded as he shut down the laptop. "It says Josh's dad is rich so he used his money to get Josh transferred to Frankie's school, those two had this all planned out just to get us mad" he said.
"Fine, he wanted us angry, we are, I say now it's time for revenge" Kevin said.
"Maybe we should call Stella and Macy? I'm sure our two best friends would love to help out" Joe said and the two others nodded.
"Call them Joe, tell them to meet us here as soon as they can come" Nick agreed and Joe dialed Stella's number.
While he was on the phone Frankie had awoken and Kevin decided to bandage his wounds.
"No wait, let the girls see him first. After all Macy works best when she is riled up" Nick said and Kevin nodded.
Frankie smiled. "Thanks guys, I can't believe your going through so much for me" he said and Nick sat next to him and pulled him into a small hug.
"We came back on Halloween, cancelling a concert for you, what makes you think we'd let anyone hurt you and get away with it?" Nick asked.
"Nick's right, Lucas brothers stick together" Kevin said and Frankie opened his arm and Kevin stepped into the hug.
Joe hung up and went to his bed. "Stella is calling Macy" he said then noticed the hug.
"I want a hug" he complained and Nick and Kevin held out their arms. Joe jumped in and Frankie grinned.
"I have the best brothers ever" he said and no one could argue with him.
And chapter 2 is complete. Angel of the Night Watchers review gave me the idea for the girls. She is right, Mad Macy is not someone you want to cross.
Review please. I could use ideas. Any suggestion might inspire an update quicker.
