Tim caught himself when he realized who was seated less than ten feet away, at his kitchen table. As if that were okay. Every single part of him froze. Was this really happening? He couldn't believe it.
"Merry Christmas, son."
Tim instantly met his brother's eyes.
"I don't think this is a good idea, Billy. Remember last time, he stole our flat panel and sold it on EBay?"
"I've already thought of that," said Billy.
Tim looked to where the TV used to be. In its place was the cardboard chic.
"Problem solved."
Tim bit his lip. This wasn't good.
