Chapter Two: Brothers

AN: Sorry to leave you hanging, guys. I've been off for awhile and not been able to write but hey, I'm back now. So, you know the drill, reviews are always welcome, shows that SOMEONE is at least reading these. This takes off about two weeks after the night at Nicky's.

Caleb walked through the halls of the school. Christmas was coming again, and the school had prepared for its arrival.

Green and red banners hang in the hallways screaming "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" to anyone who happens to walk past.

In the dorms, rumors of holiday parties roared through the student body.

And of course, the Sons got invited to each and every one.

Currently, Caleb sat in the library, working on a term paper that was due the next day. He flipped a page and wrote down a few notes.

He heard Pogue walk into the library and up behind him.

"Hey, Pogue."

"Uh, hey Caleb. How'd you know it was me?"

"Heard the ol' clunker outside."

"Oh."

Since Pogue's motorcycle was destroyed, he was driving around in an old 1995 Toyota Camry, so much different from his bike he couldn't stand it.

"So, what you been up to?" Caleb asked as he flipped another page in the book that was laid out in front of him.

"Working like crazy."

"You? Working? Are you serious? "

"Yup. Working over at the Shop. Fixing other bikes. Trying to save up for my own."

Caleb nodded to show he was listening.

"So, uhm...how's you and Sarah?"

"Good. You and Kate?"

"Good. So, have you heard anything about Chase lately?"

"No, uhm. I haven't. "

"Oh, okay then. Well...I better be going...gotta get ready for all the parties, ya know?"

"Yeah. Uh...see ya later."

Pogue walked out of the library and down to his dorm room. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Reid's number.

"Hey, I just talked to Caleb," he said when his Brother answered the phone.

"And...?"

"And, he still seems like he doesn't want anything to do with any of us."

"Well, did you tell him about Chase?"

"No. How do you think he's going to feel when he finds out his brother tried to kill him?"

"Well, let's just hope he doesn't find out."

"Yeah, because that'll go over great." Pogue could almost hear Reid rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, well we have no other option."

"Fine. Then when Chase throws it in his face, Caleb will come to us. He'll ask if we knew and he'll know that we knew."

"And then the Sons are broken up forever," Pogue amended.

"And left vulnerable for destruction."

"Okay, that's a bit dramatic there, Reid," Pogue said as he walked into his dorm room.

"Pogue, think reasonably. Chase will find out and then come for us individually. And the first person he's after is his own brother."

"Okay, so maybe that's true, but what can we do?"

"Convince Caleb that we need him."

"And just how are we going to do that?"

"Tell him about his brother."

AN: So sorry if this really short and weird but I promise it'll get better.

Reviews and criticize! Be honest!
