Chapter 2

Age 8 through 13.

8 years old

Stanford and Stanley are eight years old. Luckily Stanford can use regular utensils. But he does need glasses. And he bullied by kids and even adults give him odd looks. Right now the boys are getting ready to go with Filbrick. He's taking Stanford and Stanley to a doctors appointment. Sherman is coming with then. Because Caryn is off at a book club. Even though Sherman is 13. Flibrick doesn't want to leave Sherman home alone.

Two hours later the doctor just finished with Stanford and Stanley. Both boys are happy, healthy, and caught up on their shots. Filbrick looked at the doctor and said "I would like to talk to you about. Removing Stanford's extra fingers." All three boys heard what Filbrick said. Sherman stepped up by his brothers and said "PA there is nothing wrong with Ford." Stanley nodded in agreement and said "Yeah there's nothing wrong with Ford's hands."

"Mr. Pines we've been in contact with your insurance company. And considering Stanford is fully functioning. The surgery would be purely cosmetic. And your insurance won't cover it." informed the doctor

"You mean to tell me the insurance. That I pay good money for. Won't cover a surgery to remove a couple of fingers. So my son can be a normal boy. And not being picked on by kids and adults." spat Filbrick

"Yes that's right your insurance won't cover it Mr Pines." replied the doctor

"Well I guess Stanford will have to put with the bullying, being a social outcast, and being an abomination." spat Filbrick

Both Sherman and Stanley are shocked at what Filbrick just said. Suddenly Stanford started to cry and is hurt. Buy what his father just said. Sherman wanted to get his brothers away from Filbrick. So he grabbed Stanley's and Stanford's hands. He lead the way out of the doctor's office. Stanley and Stanford followed Sherman. They followed their brother to a park bench. Sherman knelt down and hugged Stanford. Stanley also hugged Stanford and said "Don't listen to PA you're awesome."

"Stanley's right Ford you're awesome. Whoever tells you different is stupid." assured Sherman

Stanford calmed down and followed Sherman and Stanley home. Once at home Sherman called Caryn's book club. And told Caryn what had happened. Not long after he got off the phone. Filbrick got back home.

"Where the hell did you kids go off to?" asked Filbrick

"I got Stanley and Stanford away from you. What you called Stanford was awful." replied Sherman

"You watch your self boy." snarled Filbrick

"Filbrick you leave him alone. Go on Sherman I'll deal with you Father." ordered Caryn Sherman nodded and went to Stanley's and Stanford's room.

10 years old

Stanford and Stanley are now 10 years old. Sherman is 15 and is off at a military school in California. Filbrick sent Sherman to military school in. Because Sherman was challenging Filbrick's authority. And he didn't like that. Stanford and Stanley miss their older brother. But they have each other. It's July and Stanford and Stanley are out on the beach. When they can the brothers get out of the house. And go to the beach and play and explore.

Today the boys are on the beach. The boys took off running down the beach. They're looking for a place to explore. Soon they found a boarded up cave. All kinds of writing are on boards. Even there is a no trespassing sign has been written on. Stanford walked up to the boarded up cave. And said "Wow a mysterious boarded up cave." Stanley stood next to Stanford and looked between the boards. They stepped back and looked at the cave. Stanley punched his way through. Then he and Stanford went into the cave. The boys wrote their names on the walls of the cave wall.

Then they went further into the cave. Luckily Stanford brought a flashlight. So they can see where they are going. Soon the beam of Stanford's flashlight found the wreak of a sailboat. The boys stood by each other amazed. At what they see in front of them. They decided to tie ropes to the wreak. And drag it out closer to the ocean. Once they got the wreak closer to the ocean. Stanley found some black paint and a paint brush. He wrote Stan O War on the side of the wreak. Suddenly a rock hit the back of Stanford's head. The boys looked and saw the local bully. He's known as Crampelter and he called Stanford a six fingered freak. And called Stanley a dumber version of Ford. After teasing the Stanley and Stanford Crampelter left.

Stanley saw his brother looking at his hand. He reassured Stanford then they went home.

13 years old

Stanford and Stanley are now 13 years old. Filbrick is tired of both boys being beat up and bullied. So he is taking the boys to the gym. Filbrick took them to the boxing ring. The boys saw a man standing there.

"Coach Briggs I would like to enroll Stanford and Stanley into boxing." stated Filbrick

"Sure thing Filbrick I'll teach you boys a thing or two." assured Coach Briggs

"PA I'm not sure about this." stated Stanford

"Well I'm tired of you two getting beat up all of the times. You're Pines men and Pines men are tough." spat Filbrick

"Yes sir." stated Stanley and Stanford

As the weeks turned into months Stanley and Stanford went to the gym. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon for their boxing lessons. Stanley is doing well and loves the lessons. Stanford on the other hand isn't doing well and doesn't like the lessons. So after 5 months Stanford dropped out. He still went to the gym with Stanley. So that Filbrick hopefully doesn't find out, That he dropped out of boxing.
