Chapter 11
Mock looked at his family, his face growing red. His older sister Katelyn and Elizabeth were washing the dishes, and Todd and his younger brother Christopher waited for his reply. His mother was still up in his room, tending to Charlotte, and his father was hunched over his food, not looking up.
"Went upstate."
" You leave us, and dare to come back to our house? GET OUT!"
Mock looked at his brother as if he had two heads, "Ya'd do dat? Youse kick out youse bruddah an his sick friend."
"What brother? I have no brother, since you and Peter went traipsing off with that gang, we've considered you removed from the family."
Mock grabbed Slick's arm and started to drag him to the door, "I'll be back ta pick up Charlotte."
He started to open the door, but a hand on his shoulder forced him to turn around. He came face to face with his father, his tired blue eyes gazing into his own.
"You are, and will always be my son, and you are always welcome in my house." Daniel turned and faced Todd. "Perhaps you removed him, but I never will."
Todd turned away, infuriated that his father would stick up for the one that left the family when they needed him most, and ran to his and Chris's room.
His father brought Mock to the table, Slick following. "How is this girl in connection with you?"
Slick straightened up, making himself look bigger , "Why she's was a part a da Snakes as well! Got kicked out, dough, and got sent ta da Refuge in Buffalo where she met Mockery ova here."
"Why were you in a Refuge and why is your name Mockery?"
Mock looked down, "I'd rather not say."
Again, another short chappie. Sorry! But review!
