"Are these children yours?" the police officer asked the Mero while he eyed the Twins with curious eyes.

"Of course they're mine. Is there anything wrong with a father taking his children out?"

"No, sir, nothing wrong at all. It's just," the officer once more glanced in the Twins' direction. "I've never seen children that look like that before."

"You haven't seen twins before?" the Mero crossed his arms.

"I wasn't referring to that. Of course I've seen twins. It's just that," the officer's voice trailed off before he cleared his throat. "Ok, never mind. Now about the cars."

Both the Merovingian and the police officer turned to the two cars that looked like a couple of crumpled up coke cans. The backend of the Mero's car was badly scrunched up from where the car the Twins had been driving had slammed into it. The Twins' car looked about the same only in the front. Both men walked around while looking over the damages. The Mero touched the taillight of his car, the red plastic piece falling off afterwards. He sighed and walked over to the officer who was busy filling out paperwork.

"Well. We won't know anything until we find and contact the owner of the vehicle. Until then I'd appreciate it if you would fill out these." The officer handed the Mero several papers and then a pen. He sighed and looked them over then looked up at the Twins who were leaning against the car in silence.

After filling out the papers, the Mero handed them back to the officer then walked over to where the Twins were standing. Two started to run, but was stopped by the Mero.

"And just where do you think you're going?" The Mero turned the scared twin back around and pushed him toward his brother. Two didn't answer. The Mero sighed.

"What am I going to do with you two?"

The Twins lowered their heads.

"The one who is found guilty of driving the car and coming up with the idea of stealing and driving it will be punished severely when we get home."

The Twins raised their heads.

"Now, whose idea was it?"

Two immediately pointed to One, One pointed at Two. Both twins looked at each other's accusing in surprise.

"I did not do it, you did! It was your idea." Two shouted at One.

The Mero rolled his eyes and bent down on one knee next to Two.

"Two," he began.

"He's not Two, I am!" One interrupted.

"No. You're One." The Mero said, surprising the young child.

"Yeah, One, I'm Two."

"Ok, Two," The Mero began again.

"Yes?" both twins said in unison.

"You both can't be Two!" The Mero looked at one and then the other, getting a little confused himself.

"I'm Two." One said.

"No you aren't, I am!" Two frowned.

"I know what you're trying to pull here." The Mero glared. "I'll have you know that I can tell you two apart. I created you, you know."

The Twins lowered their heads again.

"I'm Two! And I didn't drive the car." Two sniveled. "One did it and he scared me with his driving." Two's eyes became watery.

"Tattletale!" One shouted at his brother.

"I'm not a tattletale! It's the truth."

"Well you were with me when I did it so you're just as guilty."

"I wish I hadn't have done it now. You're the worst driver in the world." Two huffed.

"Oh, you're just a big baby. Frightened by anything."

"I am not a baby!" Two came toward One, but the Mero grabbed onto his coat to hold him in place.

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am NOT!!"

"ARE!"

"Now stop it both of you!" The Mero shouted over the screaming. He released Two and looked long and hard at both of them.

"He did it." Two said in a soft voice, again pointing to One.

"He helped." One pointed to Two.

"I've a good mind to punish you both." The Mero finally said.

"What did I do?!" Two looked up in surprise. The Mero ignored Two and walked over to One.

"Get in the car." Was all he said. One slowly did what he was told; phasing into the front seat of the black car the Mero had driven. He looked out of the window at the Mero and Two. Knowing One was in deep trouble, Two smiled to tease him. One stuck his tongue out then sat down in the seat and pouted. Two turned and looked up at the Mero.

"We'll continue this when we get home." The Mero said without looking down at Two.

For awhile afterward, the Merovingian stood and stared at the setting sun in silence, Two restlessly standing beside him. The only sounds heard were the passing of the cars on the main road and the chatting and talking of the people walking by on the sidewalk. Two occasionally looked toward the car where One was. The Merovingian finally looked at his watch then turned.

"Come on and bring your brother. I want to catch the electronics store before they close for the night."

Two ran to the car and motioned for One to follow him and the Mero. One phased and appeared beside his brother and together all three walked to a small electronics store that was a short distance from where they were. The Mero pushed open the glass door and walked in, waiting for the Twins to enter behind him.

"Good evening." A smiling employee came up to the Mero. "Your order just came in this morning. I'll go get it for you." the man said before he disappeared into the backroom of the store. The Twins wandered around the small area and looked at some of the computers displayed on the shelves. While the Merovingian wasn't looking, One started punching the buttons on the computers that he could reach.

The Mero turned around, dropping what he held in his hands when he saw what was on the screens of the computers. Each computer that one of the twins had tampered with was now showing a scrolling green code. He nervously looked around the small store then hurriedly walked over to the Twins who were playing with another computer.

"Get away from those." He whispered while grabbed the arms of them both and pulling them over to the paying counter. "Please! Stay right here and don't touch anything." The Mero pleaded. He walked back over to the computers and nervously tried to make the code disappear before the employee came back, but no matter what he did the code stayed. Just then, the employee returned with a box in his hands.

"Oh, cool looking screensaver." He said while nodding toward the Mero. The Mero stiffened for a moment then nodded.

"Yes, it is isn't it?"

"Here's your package. I think everything's here." The employee opened the box and started dragging out bits and pieces of something that the Mero had ordered. The Mero left the computers and slowly walked over to the counter and began looking over his merchandise.

Several men bursting into the small store suddenly interrupted the quiet atmosphere. There were three of them, each one being tall, dark, and wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses. The first one, supposedly the leader, looked around until his eyes caught sight of the computers. The employee, the Mero and the Twins stood still and silent as they watched the guys. The Twins huddled behind the Mero's legs.

"C-can I help you?" the employee stuttered. The men didn't say anything. The leader of them slowly and gracefully walked over to the computers and started punching buttons until the scrolling code disappeared from the screen. He moved on to the next one and did the same until he had removed the code from each monitor. Finally he turned and looked in the Mero's direction then at the employee.

"We'll be going now." Was all he said, in a cold, slow, and deep voice before turning to the other two waiting by the door. In an instant the men were gone. The Mero and employee exchanged glances then continued what they were doing. The Merovingian knew who those guys were, but he didn't dare say anything to the 'human' in front of him so he had to act like he was as surprised as the other person was at the unusual incident.

"I'll have to be careful next time what kind of screensaver I put on strange computers out in a store." The Mero breathed.
