Chapter 2: Arriving
The next morning,
"Here we are." Sven announced to his friends as he pulled up into a driveway of a very big house.
Eve was lying across the back seat sound asleep. Train was sleeping with his head propped on his hand. He had fallen asleep while starring out the window.
"Eh hem!" Sven tried again.
No movement.
"WAKE UP!" Sven yelled in a megaphone.
Train jerked up and looked around for anything out of the ordinary. Eve slowly got up.
"What's the matter, Sven?" Eve asked.
"We're here." Sven said pointing.
"YOU MEAN WE'VE BEEN LIVING OFF INSTANT NOODLES WHILE YOUR BROTHER LIVES HERE!?" Train exclaimed.
"Yes." Sven said. "I try not to ask him for much. I'm the oldest. Besides, this is my family's house."
"You're rich?"
"I gave it up to go into the IBI." Sven said with a shrug.
The trio got out of the car.
"What does your brother do?" Eve asked.
"He's a doctor." Sven explained.
"Let's go." Train said pushing the doorbell.
The door opened to show a man in a suite.
"Hello Jim." Sven said.
"Master Sven. It's good to see you again." The butler said with a bow. "Master Stephan had not said that he was expecting you."
"Yeah. I forgot to call." Sven admitted a tad embarrassed.
"Your brother will be pleased to see you again." Jim said allowing the trio to enter. "Who are your friends?"
"These are Eve and Train." Sven introduced. "Everyone, this is Jim, my family's butler."
"Nice to meet you." Train said.
"Hello." Eve greeted.
"I will announce your arrival." Jim said leaving to go into the living room.

Just a few moments earlier,
"So you're a sweeper?" Jane asked Saya. "My parents were as well."
"You learn something new everyday." Stephan said to himself.
Saya, Jane, and Stephan were now at Stephan's house getting to know one another.
DING DONG
"Jim will get that." Stephan said. "Please, continue Miss. Saya."
"Anyways, I guess that man was jealous that Train was spending more time with me. I tried to make friends with him, but he injured me. Train stopped him from going too far, but I was hurt too badly. I blanked out after I told him to only use his gun for good."
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in." Stephan said.
"Master Sven is here to see you, Sir." Jim said.
"Sven?" Stephan asked. "I haven't seen him in YEARS."
"Sven?" Jane asked.
"My older brother." Stephan explained getting up to go greet his brother.
The women shrugged as he left.
