A/N: Well here's chapter 7 I knows it took awhile and it's short but I tried. I hope you all like it please review.
Bret and Hunter sat down on the old couch with Shawn again sitting between them. Vince and Eric sat down on some old chairs they found in the kitchen. They decided first to through the pictures that Vince found first to see if they could find any old enough to hold any relevancy to what went on with their dad's. As they went through the old photos they looked over too Bret from time to time too see his face lighting up as he went through memory lane.
"Aww this is from Ellie's 10th birthday man was that a disaster," Bret smiled. "Oh and this is a picture of Biz that's what we called my brother Dean man that kid could make a business out of selling garbage to a garbage man".
Bret kept his smile and sighed as he picked up a picture of him trying to teach Owen how to ride his bike.
The guys (minus Hunter of course) could all see that Bret was hurting as he went through the pictures so Eric decided to change the subject.
"Hey Bret, who this with one of you're brothers." he asked as had seen on of the kids he knew to be Bret's brother on some other photo but the kid next to him was only in this one picture.
"That's my oldest brother Smith and I don't know the kid with him must of been a neighborhood kid,"
They all looked through each and every picture in the box that Vince had brought down but there was nothing old enough linking them to there dad's past. So Shawn asked Eric what he had rounded up in his search of Stu's old office.
Eric just shrugged. "I went through the office and came up with nothing."
"That's alright Eric," said Vince as he rested his hand on Eric's. Vince then turned his attention to Bret."What about you Bret what did you come up with."
"Well I found some old papers in my parents closet that you guys can all take a look at." They each grabbed a few and started looking though the browned paper.
"Ooh I got birth certificates," said Shawn.
"Oh you must have the originals that we couldn't find since me and my siblings all have duplicates."
"Wow 10lbs Bret, look who was a big baby."
Everyone let out a small laugh.
"Hey I can't help it that I was a healthy little scamp." smirked Bret.
They each went through their small stacks of the papers only finding more birth certificates, some old bills, and recipes. But while there where busy finishing up there search Shawn saw Hunter put an old paper in his jacket.
"Okay so that was a bust," said Bret. "So what did you find big nose,"
"Big Nose!" said Hunter getting off his side of the couch "I got your big nose right here," said Hunter as he tried to throw a punch only to be stopped by Vince who caught his arm.
"Hey there will be none of that here," shouted Vince.
"It was Bret's fault he tried to provoke me you all saw," said Hunter with Vince between them trying to keep them apart.
"I'm not the one who broke into my house," shouted Bret.
"Here we go again with this," said Hunter.
"You're damn right here we go you had no right breaking into my property,"
"Well you have horrible security," Hunter told Bret sarcastically. Which in turn made Bret try to break away from Vince and throw a punch at Hunter.
"Will you two stop it!" shouted Vince yet again. "Do you want me to separate you two, you are both acting like children."
"We'd be all good if Hunter just would of stayed away from what 's mine," Bret said trying to calm down.
"Oh really," said Hunter trying to get in Bret face.
"Can we not do this now," said Shawn standing up on his good leg looking at both men who were glaring at one another.
"Okay can we get back on topic here," said Eric who was relatively quiet during the whole spat. "Now Hunter what did you find in the dungeon.
Hunter shrugged. "All I found down there were just some letters etched on the wall."
"Letters," said Bret.
"Yeah," said Hunter as he got out his phone and held it out for Bret to see the letters JMH and SSH
"I have no idea what the first one stands for but the second one SSH those are my brother Smith's initials,"
"Smith huh,"
Vince looked at Bret as he nodded then to Hunter then Shawn then lastly Eric as he smiled.
"Well then boys I believe we have a long ride ahead of us."
