Children of the night: chapter 3- Meeting:
The next day, the brothers had managed to find only a little information about them in a web search. Apparently their names where Adam, Bree and Chase but their last name was unknown. He found them in an orphan data base but when he inquired about them, the orphanage said they couldn't (mostly likely wouldn't) help. The lady said that they could die for all they cared as she went on and on about how they behaved and their annoyingly, inseparable bond. Donald could not believe, for even a second, of the nasty and exaggerated things the mad women was saying, so he quickly put the phone down after he thought that he wouldn't get any helpful information out of her or any of the others. He was walking down the road with Douglass after a business deal and was scanning the street.
"Are you even listening to me" he turned to his brother and frowned.
"No not really. Why?" he replied flatly.
He was going to reply but was interrupted by a something running into him and it fell to the floor.
"Sworry mister" the small boy scrambled to his feet as he tried to get to his siblings, who where waiting for him but was stopped by a hand. The boy looked up with hazy eyes as he blinked up at the pairs faces.
Donald bent down and gasped "Chase! Is that you" he asked the little boy as Chase blinked.
Adam came rushing over. "Sorry, we have to go now. Chasey" he grabbed his younger brother's hand and tugged.
"Wait. Are you guys hungry" the man asked.
Adam inspected him before stepping back "no" he answered flatly "we fine" he added. Douglas crossed his arms as he peered down at the three. This wasn't going to be easy.
"Why you lie?" Bree whispered in his ear. He shot her a warning glance and she shut up.
"But he knows Chasey" she argued back after a few tense minuets. He shook his head firmly.
"It's okay Adam, I'm not going to hurt you, I want to help you" he tried to assure the wary boy but he panicked, grabbing his brother and running away. The adults watched after them, confused. They where different all right and does not trust anyone. When he addressed them by name, they seemed to be scared of it. Like they didn't want to hear them. The eldest was protective, they could see that by his actions and very curious for a boy his age. But why couldn't they see that they had tried to help them. The chances that they would run into them was slim but Chase seemed to be struggling keeping up with them. They had a good feeling it was his leg. And he seemed cold in only shorts, t-shirt and a raincoat. The girl was also cold in her dress and denim jacket. The older boy had combat trousers, t-shirt and a a bit long sleeve jumper on. Some more warmth but not enough to keep warm enough for living on the street.
"Well, you handled that like a pro" Douglas scoffed, glancing the way they ran off to.
"Shut up" he grumbled in response, getting up as he thumped Douglas in the arm and walked away.
"What was that for" the other brother whined before following him.

They did not see them for the next week, the nearly forget about them until that fateful Saturday where all there lives changed.
"Eat it" Adam instructed the younger boy that weakly pushed his hand away "why?" he asked.
He looked at the bread before taking it and snapping into two, giving half back.
"No, it's yours" he argued, trying to give the half back to them but Chase refused to take it. Adam needed to eat too! And he wouldn't be so greedy.
Adam sighed and started to eat is well. Bree came back and sat down.
"Anything" Adam asked.
She smiled and handed them two full bottles she had managed to take from the park when the owners had run off, forgetting they where even there.
"Good work Bee Bee" he praised, she smiled as he took one and gulped it before passing it to Chase who had some too, passing it on to Bree.
"Something's wired, at the park" she informed them.
"What's it" he asked, curiously.
"Donno, but show you" Adam nodded and insisted that they went after they had finished eating.
As soon as they where done, they made there way to the park. As they where crossing the road, Chase had slowed down, his leg hurting him a little. He frowned down at it as he suppressed tears of pain. Unknown to them, a car was spading down the road.
"Chasey! Look out" they screamed in usion as they saw the car as the car approached. Something knocked into Chase as he passed out in someone's arms. Looking up at the rescuer, they gasped as they reconsigned the man. He was the one standing with his brother from a little over a week ago.
