Bringing The House Down
Chapter 14
Trevor
AN: Thanks for the reviews I own nothing hope you enjoy.
"What the hell did you do out there?" Shane yelled at his younger brother Rick, "I had two guys out there and you blow the damn boat up?" he screamed out making Rick jump back, "Derek and Nick could have been killed by your damn stunt, oh let me see if I can make a bomb too, well guess what you can't," he said.
"But it went off," Rick said.
"About killing us too," Derek said, "Sorry Trevor told us to come in."
"Yes, have a seat, I was about to kill my asshole brother," Shane said before he sat down, "Rick thought it would be funny to play little joke, and I'm sorry, if I had known I would kicked his ass last night," he said.
"So you're the one that gave me the ten stitches," Derek growled.
"I'm sorry man, I didn't know what he was doing with the boat," Rick said.
"I got four brothers, and a sister, our parents died when I was fifteen, been taking care of them since then, Rick and his twins sister Kelly are the babies of the family," Shane said, "Rick and her are seventeen, and they get on my nerves, I mean he loves blowing stuff up and she's trying to get in the weapons business, but they are my siblings, too young for that right now," he said rubbing his forehead.
"We're brothers, get on each other's nerves all the time," Nick said, "I was adopted of course, but still I'm older by month," he smiled.
"However Nick's the one always in trouble," Derek said, "Just please next time keep your brother away from our site, I mean sure Charlotte went up, but we about did too," he said.
"Yes, and I'm sorry, I have a doctor if you need to see one," Shane offered.
"I have one, plus Pen patched me up last night, she's good like that," Derek said, "Now that I know you weren't trying to kill us on purpose we can talk about the next job," he said.
"No, I'm laying low for few days, the cops are swarming everywhere," Shane said, "I'm having a party tonight however, bring Penelope if you like, I promise nothing will happen," he said.
"We got birthday party to go to, one of our weapons dealers' kids, you know appearances are everything," Nick said, "But we'll catch the next one."
"Okay then, and I am sorry about my brother, he's tried this before, about killed me doing so last time," Shane said looking at Rick.
"I'm sorry man, I swear it wasn't on purpose, but damn you two are good," Rick said, "You think maybe you can teach me how you blew that girl so far in the air?"
"Years of practice, and knowing how to make bombs," Derek said, "Trust me, I wouldn't let a kid near a bomb, it's something you don't screw with," he said.
"And you about found out what happens when you do," Shane said, "You even think about making another one I will beat your ass myself, now go to your room and finish your homework," he shouted making Rick jump up and run out the room.
"Siblings," Nick said.
"Yes, and Derek thank you for telling him no, cause I don't want him near a bomb again, I might be asshole, but he's my brother, and you protect family," Shane said.
"Yes you do," Derek said, silently thinking to himself, that's why I saved Charlotte, she might hate me but she's family. He was risking his own life and Nick's now doing what they were if Shane or his family found out they were dead.

"Now that we have cleared up the bomb incident I'm going to get ready for tonight, if you change your mind don't hesitate to come on back, it's going to be fun, I got Trevor bringing in the girls, so Nick, you can have any one you want or more than one," Shane said.
"I found a girl, but thanks, I'm a one woman guy when you find the right one," Nick said, "She's only in for the night though flying back to Paris tomorrow," he lied.
"Well you two have fun with your women, and I'll have some fun with about four them," Shane said before he stood up going to the door.
"You have an uneventful day," Derek said, "The cops were all around the lake when we drove by so just be careful tonight," he said.
"We will, and you two have some fun, live a little, just stay away from boats right now," Shane joked.
"We will," Nick said before they left his office passing Trevor.
"Oh I almost forgot," Derek said handing Trevor something, "We found the body parts and cremated Charlotte, no remains, nothing for the cops to find, but here, that's her hair to prove it was her," he said, "Don't need the cops finding her remains out there now do we?"
"No we don't," Shane said, "And guys, thanks for the clean up, I completely forgot to do that," he said.
"Damn bro you're slipping," Trevor said.
"Shut it," Shane said.
"Your other brother?" Nick asked
"I'm his older brother," Trevor said, "I'm the one that runs this show, Shane's just the one doing the business stuff, on this end," he said, "The girls are mine, and Penelope was mine as well, but after last night's performance and my asshole little brothers' mistakes, you can keep her as an apology for what they did," he said.
Derek kept a straight face, but he wanted to kick their asses, "Are we going to be doing business?" he asked instead.
"No, like I said Shane does all that, but I run the show, and as a way of showing our trust, the next take out we need, you can do alone, no back up less you ask, and none of our boys will be there," Trevor said.
"Okay, that sounds like a deal," Nick said before they shook on it, "We won't let you down," he said.
"I know you want, you two are the best ones we've had in years," Trevor said, "And if that birthday party doesn't go for long come on and join us, we go to the late hours, early mornings," he said with smile.
"Will do," Derek said, "You need us just call, we don't sleep much," he said before they left.
"Okay, so four brothers, one sister, and Trevor, who apparently is the oldest of them runs the show, Shane does the work," Nick said, "This is going to be a long job," he said.
"You're telling me," Derek said.

Penelope was watching something on TV, she'd convinced Derek to get some of the Star Wars movies so she'd have something to watch, because she was bored to death all day. Charlotte was in the bathroom taking a bubble bath, she claimed she had to get the dirt off her, but she'd took a shower that morning, what dirt had she gotten on her.
She wanted to like her, but so far it was hard when she just wanted to screw Nick and sleep. Pen was about to go see if she wanted to talk when the guys walked in, "Hey baby," she said going to Derek.
"So, you were Trevor's property not Shane's?" Derek asked.
"What, huh?" Pen asked stopping before she got to him.
"You were Trevor's property, you know Shane's older brother, the one that runs things." Nick said.
"I hadn't seen him in months, I thought he left," Pen said, "He told Shane to lock me up or let the guys have me," Pen replied, "Was he pissed?"
"No, you're ours now," Nick said, "He told Derek that you were his property, but since his brothers fucked up we could have you now," he replied.
"Why didn't you just tell me?" Derek asked.
"I just did okay, I mean jeez, if you want to yell at somebody go yell at Charlotte, you know your cousin, yours not so much," Pen said.
"Why would I yell at her?" Derek asked.
"Because she was fucking him," Pen said.
"What?" Nick asked, "Wait that's the boyfriend she broke up with, a fucking drug dealer, who runs more than drug ring?" he asked.
"OH I'm going to beat her ass," Derek said before he moved passed Pen going to the bathroom kicking the door open scaring the shit out Charlotte who was putting her make up on.
"DEREK," She yelled out.
"Don't you Derek me, you were fucking Trevor, Shane's brother?" he asked.
Charlotte swallowed hard looking at the anger in Derek's face, "I…"
"You what, thought since daddy's out town I can go screw who I want to, my brother's under cover, he won't be around to know either?" Derek asked.
"Don't yell at her man," Nick said trying to take up for her.
"NO, you stay the hell out this, and you how dare you do that, a fucking drug dealer, what the fuck?"
"I'm not you Derek I don't fucking have the know all to know this guys are bad," Charlotte yelled back.
"Derek chill," Nick said, "I'll yell at her," he said.
"Oh no, you two are sleeping in separate rooms for while, and I'm taking you tomorrow to see a doctor," Derek said before he left the bathroom, "And you're not going no where might well stop putting the make up on."
Charlotte couldn't look at Nick she just went to the bedroom shutting the door and locking it crying. She hated Derek, all he did was crack on her, and her dad let him, it wasn't fair she was twenty four years old, she could date who she wanted, go where she wanted drink what she wanted, but no not with Derek around.
Jeff being the captain of the bomb squad, and her dad was hard enough, but Derek was her cousin, but he was more of a big brother she'd looked up to till she was seventeen, he arrested her for underage drinking, possession and indecently in public that was the last time she talked to him without screaming.
He could let her off, but no, he took her in, sure maybe if she hadn't said all the stuff she'd said when he put her in the car, but she was drunk, and wasn't thinking. She hadn't been doing drugs, she'd just been drunk, but it was her car and her guy friend was using. She'd been sitting on the hood drinking with one her other friends and they'd been making out.
Jeff was out town doing some training shit, and he didn't get back till afterwards, but he didn't get her off, she was pissed, she was his little girl, but he made her serve the community service time, that was the only thing Derek ever done for her, he got the sentence reduced instead of six months juvenile hall, she got a year community service, which was worse she thought at first, but six months locked up was harder than year serving time at the youth center.

"Derek you can't be this hard on her," Pen said, "Why aren't you screaming at me?"
"You were stuck there against your will, she wasn't," Nick said, "But she's right, you lost Charlotte years ago man, don't lose her even more."
"I couldn't let her off again, Nick," Derek said, "I risked my job over and over for her, you should know you were there that night, you told me to let her go, well Nick, how would that look, I mean her boyfriend or whatever in the car stoned out his mind, she's having oral sex on the hood with some other guy, drinking bottle of Jack Daniels, and I was supposed to just let her off?"
"For me I begged you to let her go, but no you arrested her," Nick said, "Why you think she hates you, and I got her ass off with community service, but I let her think it was you, so she wouldn't hate you so much, I pleaded with the Captain, got my ass in the gun cage for that month too remember, but I wasn't letting her go to Juvie," Nick said.
"She was seventeen years ol with two guys with her, and one them had crack, pot, heroin too, and it was her car, I let her slide how many times Nick, what was it half dozen or more?" he asked, "And I was in that cage with you too or did you forget, I got benched to that damn cage for two fucking months you know why, because I let her slide, I didn't report her having sex, she got off with how many warnings Nick, she was out control, Jeff wasn't there, somebody had to do something, so I did, I turned her in, but I left out the sex part, and that it was her damn car, so don't you dare tell me I didn't do something for her," Derek yelled out.
Charlotte was standing at the door listening she'd heard them yelling and came out, "But I'm your sister I thought, I mean you always said that, but you turned me in Derek, and Dad let you, he didn't get me out trouble."
"Yeah, and did you go drinking, or have sex on your car after that?" Derek asked.
"No," she said shaking her head, "But you didn't stand up for me in the court room," she said, "You weren't even there," she cried.
"You know why I wasn't there, I got my ass in so much trouble, I about lost my damn job because I was taking care of you Charlotte," Derek said, "You take care of family, I was supposed to get promotion that month, but I didn't because I covered up for you again, I didn't put it was your car, or that you were having sex on top of it," he said.
"But, I saw you write it down, you put me in that integration room and you wrote it all down, you made me sign it," Charlotte said.
"I threw it away, wrote a new one, and your dad was so fucking pissed at me, you know why, because I covered, Jeff was tired of you getting by too, you slept around Charlotte, you screwed all those guys, and you got pregnant, you didn't care what happened to you, but we did, we scared you straight too," Derek said.
"I'm sorry okay, I know I was wrong for all those things I did when I was younger, but mom and dad weren't around, he was working, she was at the diner, I got away with stuff," Charlotte said.
"Till you thought you'd get away with anything, if I was your dad I would let you go to Juvie for while, but I'm not, and I got you off, my captain wouldn't let me go to the trial, because that judge found out he would locked my ass up, so this shit with Trevor, why you think I'm so fucking pissed at you?" he asked, "You're my baby cousin, I need go for a run, I'll be back later," Derek said before he left.
"Nice Charlotte, I mean I knew about that night, but the other stuff?" Nick asked.
"I'm sorry, I was a teenager, and I didn't know about Trevor I swear to you," she said.
"I need some aspirins I have a headache," Nick groaned, "And till Fran checks you out we're so not having sex," he said.
Charlotte didn't say anything she just looked down with tears in her eyes, she'd been wrong about Derek letting her fry, he hadn't he'd helped her out, Nick too, but she had known about Trevor, that's why he wanted her dead, but she didn't say anything she went back to the bedroom crying herself to sleep. She'd screwed up so many times, had baby at fifteen, which her parents took as theirs since she was out of control.
Everybody thought Britney was her sister, but she was her daughter, not even Brit knew the truth.
