Later on that night, Jack heard Bobby coming in. Jack went downstairs searching the darkness for his brother. He tripped and hit the ground with a thud. He was still getting used to the newly renovated house.

"You fucking idiot! Kids are sleeping!" Bobby hissed at Jack helping him off the floor. "Cover that shit up" Bobby growled, pointing towards Jack's boxers, "looks like a fruit is coming out of the loom!"

"What are you doing here? Weren't you going to your apartment? I thought you'd-" Jack

started but was cut short by Bobby's impatience.

"Yea...but Serena and I got to talking. She lives close to where I live anyway I always drive

past here at night to make sure no idiots decided to break the fuck in and I saw two guys out 'round back. In fact, I've been seeing them a lot lately. But they never do anything. I have this feeling they're waiting-"

"For you" Jack said dryly finishing Bobby's sentence.

"Yea..for me. So what are you doing up?"

"Can't sleep. Haven't been able to since...you know" Jack said opening the refrigerator trying to hide his face from Bobby. Jack could feel tears forming in his eyes.

"I know. Sometimes I think even though I was here the longest, maybe it was harder for you. Especially after all you've been through. But I'm here for you" Bobby consoled, pulling Jack closer. "Now enough with this sentimental shit. Since you're down here you can wash the dishes. I'm heading upstairs. I gotta speak with Angel."

"He's busy" Jack said smirking.

"I don't know who's worse...Angel or Sophie! Fucking nymphos!" Bobby said agitated making Jack laugh. Bobby headed towards Angel's room and when he didn't hear any noise he figured it was safe. He opened the door and found Angel messing with his keyboard.

"Shit! You scared me!" Angel said snapping his head around. His skin was a rich, dark color in the moonlight. Angel nodded his head as way of asking what's up.

"Have you noticed any guys around here lately?" Bobby said getting directly to the point.

"Sometimes. There were these dudes that came in yesterday asking about you. I knew you didn't know them so I said to fuck off. Kinda reminded of the Vic Sweet bastards. Except their not." At the mention of Vic Sweet, silence and remorse filled the room.

"Look I don't know why anyone would be looking for me. But if they come around again you let me know. I want to see who's looking to fuck with me" Bobby said turning to leave.

"Oh by the way, Alessandra stopped by this afternoon." Angel raised an eyebrow as Bobby's eyes widened in a childlike manner.

"Are you fucking serious?"

"As a heart attack" Angel said carefully observing Bobby's peculiar manner.

"God I haven't seen her since that one time in the airport. I had a bruise that lasted a month!"

Jack was fumbling around in his pocket and pulled out three sets of keys. He placed each one into the lock until he found the right one. He was about to open the door when he heard the voice of a woman inside Bobby's apartment. Jack tried to listen but couldn't identify the voice. He let himself in and found found Bobby and Serena on the couch together.
