Chapter 7

Mitchum Huntzberger walked to the door of Logan´s apartment in London. He didn´t know what he wanted to do exactly. He just... needed to do something.

He opened the door with spare key he had since he bought this apartment. He walked in and closed the door. He couldn´t say that the view he saw surprised him.

„I should be surprised," said Mitchum.

„Then it´s good that you aren´t, uncle Mitchum," said Emmy, not even lifting her head to look at him. „What do you think, this or this?"

She showed him two pictures of Rory and Logan. Mitchum said nothing, so Emmy continued.

„I´ll put them both. I have enough frames."

Mitchum sighed and looked at his niece sitting among photo frames and photos of Rory, Logan and LDB. Of course she would decorate his office. She would do anything for Logan, if he ask. He was afraid that she would do anything even without asking.

„How did you get in?" asked he and sat on the couch.

„You gave me the spare key, when I decorated theapartment. This is actually my last uninvited visit. I will leave the key here," said Emmy and was still interested in her work.

Mitchum laughed in his mind. She was probably the only person except his father and her mother, who could absolutely ignore him. It was relieving feeling. His brother and Emmy´s father Matt never ignored him. It was their secret deal. Their were kids and were hurt by their father´s behaviour, so they decided whatever one of them do, the other one will always stand by him.

„Where´s Logan, Emmy?" asked Mitchum.

„I don´t know," said she and finally looked at her uncle. He saw in her eyes anger and sadness. „I don´t know."

It was difficult for her. Logan did something confidental and she didn´t know what.

Mitchum smirked. Emmy thought that they should patent their smirk. It could be their trademark. Nobody can smirk like Huntzbergers.

„Ten pounds he´s in New Haven," bet Mitchum.

„I don´t like losing my money, so... no," was her cold answer.

„Em, please, you know why I did that," said Mitchum. That fight four years ago cost him losing his favourite niece. He was regreting it now. He knew he was breaking the rules, by regreting something, but he didn´t mind.

„Yes, I do," another cold answer, but now she stopped choosing photos.

Mitchum stood up. He walked around the living room. Suddenly he saw framed paper with Huntzbergers rules. Emmy´s and Eli´s present at Logan´s eighteen birthday.

Huntzbergers rules

Huntzbergers can do what they want.

Huntzbergers always keep together.

Huntzbergers are never wrong.

Huntzbergers never apologize.

Huntzbergers never forgive.

Huntzbergers never regret anything.

Huntzbergers never cry.

Huntzbergers are never broken.

Huntzbergers never give up.

Huntzbergers never show their feelings.

Huntzbergers never follow rules.

„What did you do to Rory that she hates you so much?" asked Emmy looking at him.

He looked at her, scaning her. She was different than every Huntzberger, but so much though. Her hair and color of her eyes was from Eaven´s side of family, but everything else... clear Huntzberger. She was so much like Logan, thought he. Her green eyes were watching every his move. And those same eyes were absolutely empty. No emotions. His eyes were same. Brown, but total Huntzberger. It was art to be emotionless. It took him 27 years. Emmy was faster, 16 years and people called her cold.

„I told her, she isn´t good enough to be jurnalist."

Emmy was shocked. „You are joking! I read her articles, she´s good..."

„Emmy, you know what I wanted to..."

„Oh yes, I know what you wanted to reach by this, uncle Mitchum. But, hell, she is NOT Huntzberger! In fact, she is little naive innocent girl! She is NOT me!" called Emmy.

Mitchum smiled coldly. „Oh, I know she is NOT you. BUT that was meant as..."

„Are you listening to yourself? You told her she isn´t good enough. Mitchum, she isn´t me. She won´t sit down, furious, and write article that won Darrenson´s prize after you told her she had no talent! How could you?"

„She is editor now! And working for some paper!" defended Mitchum himself.

„Mitchum... that wasn´t the best idea," sighed she and looked at her uncle.

„I want the best for her, in newspaper world. I´ve got nothing against her. Nothing. But please, she thinks whole world is kind and nice and that she doesn´t have to fight. But the truth is the world is exactly like that! You know it, I know it, Logan knows it. She can be the hell of good writer, but without fighting,the world will savage all of her talent!" yelled Mitchum.

Emmy closed her eyes. God, she knew he is right. She knew it when she won that prize. She was fourteen, the youngest winner ever, the greatest talent Huntzbergers ever seen. But she wanted just praise. Something she would never get from Huntzbergers.

„I know why you did what you did... To both of us..."

„Emmy..."

„Look I think that Rory didn´t deserve it, but..."

„Emmy..."

„...but I want to thank you for myself," ended Emmy her speech.

Mitchum was speechless. He was never speechless. Well, he didn´t expect that.

„I... I... I know, that if you didn´t say that... I would be full of myself and my talent... or whatever that is in me... And I want to say that that speech wasn´t the reason why I am so cold, really not, BUT I can´t forgive you... I was too hurt to forgive you and some of that pain is still here, so..."

„I understand," said Mitchum coldly. It wasn´t forgivness, but from now it will be better. Maybe. And he also know what or better who was the first step to her coldness. Other steps knew only Logan. Mitchum also understood her loyalty to Logan. He and whole family knew that Emmy owes Logan. Mitchum thought that more than once, but he kept his conclusions for himself.

„But I also think that Logan is at wrong place. He should be somewhere in Asia with Rory," continued Emmy.

„Really? Emmy, you don´t know what it is to watch your child risking his life for some pranks. To become somebody irresponsible and cold and crazy. Do you know what it is to watch him lying unconscious in hospital..."

„Yes. I know! It´s me who is always there with him. I´m the one who always stand by him. I cry because I am so afraid I will lose him! I am the one who cares about him! I am the one who get him drunk in order to forget his sorrow! I am the one who is there to listen to his problems! I know!" called Emmy angrily, with tears in her eyes.

Mitchum was quiet. He saw his past. His injuries and his father.

„Why did you do this, Mitch?" asked Matt.

„Why not?"

„You could kill yourself!" called Matt.

„And?"

„I would be alone, Mitch! God, I don´t wanna be alone! I don´t wanna look at father and see his disappointment with me because I´m not you!"

Mitchum looked at his youngest sibling. „That would never happen. If father really cares about me, he would be there!"

Matt frowned. He didn´t like the way his brother rebelled. He didn´t like the person who was becoming from Mitchum.

„You are like him!" said Matt coldly.

„That not true!!! I will never be like him! EVER!"

„Thank you for taking care of Logan," said Mitchum then.

„What?" Emmy was shocked. That couldn´t be Mitchum Huntzberger. That was somebody else.

„I mean it. Thank you," said Mitchum emotionlessly and went to door.

„I sent him there, because I wanted him to grow up!" he explained.

Emmy laughed. Mitchum didn´t understand why.

„Grow up? Grow UP???" yelled she and picked up something from the floor.

Mitchum looked at little box in her hand. She opened it revealing engagement ring.

„Is this enough mature to you?!" yelled she.

„You searched for this ring?" Mitchum was in shock.

„No... Yes. I know he is serious with Rory, so when I was looking for pictures I searched for this too," admitted Emmy sadly.

„Put it back and don´t mention it to Logan."

„I´m not stupid, uncle Mitchum. Sometimes I think he´s too adult, and I miss my cousin. I don´t want him to be Huntzberger," said she quietly. „Uncle Mitchum, I didn´t want to yell at you for that ring. I´m sorry."

Mitchum just nodded and left. Deep inside of him, he was proud of Logan. To stand up to Huntzberger clan, was very brave. But he knew that that girl can make him another cold member of their damned family. One step and he will fall. And that was the last think he wanted for his son. To be like him and his father.
