Jake woke up to the incredibly annoying sound of HB's horn sawing, trimming whatever you wanted to call it. Jake stood and stretched his achy muscles. He had been in the gym for a long time yesterday. John of course wasn't. 'I have to work on my files.' he had said. Jake knew he was lying. He was watching that video on Liz's file over and over. He had it on a loop. Jake had checked. Besides his brother always made a point of avoiding the gym. He never said why.

After Jake took his shower and got dressed, he went for breakfast. Today he would tell HB what John was doing. His brother was such a perv. And HB wouldn't like that one bit.

Walking into the kitchen Jake found HB and Liz already there. "Yo." Jake greeted them with a smile. They looked over at him. "Morning J." Liz said with a smile of her own. J was her name for him. He didn't mind. That was what everyone called him. "Sleep good?" She asked. "Alright." was the answer. "You?" Liz nodded. "You slept long enough." Said HB with a grin. Jake looked at him with a smirk, "Oh yeah….and you don't?" was his smart respond. HB laughed and motioned for him to come over. "What for breakfast?" Jake asked. "Take your pick." Liz said. On the counter were pamcakes, bagels, bacon, and bread waiting to be toasted. Liz passed him a plate, he thanked her and looked back at the food. He got two pamcakes, half a bagel, and three pieces of bacon. He got a glass of apple juice too. Then John walked in.

John stood there for a few minutes staring at them. He was wearing a white business shirt with black slacks. Again he looked out of place. HB was wearing a black shirt with his usual black leather pants. Jake was wearing tight(but not to tight) black jeans with a purple and black stripped shirt. His hair was still messy, but well washed and dried. Liz had on a dark blue sweater with black jeans. All their feet were bare, while John had on shiny new church shoes. He just didn't fit with them. He was bright and plain, they weren't.

The awkward silence was broken by Jake. "Morning big brother." He said with a smirk that meant, 'I see right through you.' or 'I know what your doing.' It could have been both. But John knew what it meant perfectly well. He nodded to his little brother, "Morning." he stood there for a few more seconds then turned with some muttered excuse about 'work to do.' And he left as quickly as he could without anyone noticing he was rushing. Jake did of course. He turned back to HB and Liz. Now was the time for John to leave. To go back to their mother.

\LATER/

Liz stormed into professor Brooms library. Professor Trevor Broom looked up from his reading. Abe watched her with surprise. Even though you couldn't see it. Liz never acted like this. Well…..only when she was REALLY pissed. She stomped up to the professors desk. "That John Myers HAS to go!" She said loudly, but not loud enough to be called yelling. Broom looked confused, "What's the problem?" He asked. What could be so wrong that Liz would get this worked up. "I'll show you!" She said angrily and stalked back out. Broom looked at Abe. "Come on, lets go see this problem of hers." Abe slipped out of his tank and followed. He was still confused.

Liz had led them to agent Myers, John's office. The door was open. HB and Jake were standing close to the desk in the middle of the room. HB look like he would kill someone, Jake looked tense and angry. He didn't know his brother went this far. No wonder he never got a girl. Liz walked to Johns computer and motioned for the professor and Abe to look.

On the screen Liz's profile video was playing. "Its on a loop." Jake spoke up. "Yeah and look at this." HB said and moved to the back of the desk. He pulled up a large piece of cardboard. It was almost totally covered with pictures of Liz. If anyone else was in one their face was scratched off. "I didn't know you had talked to him." Abe said to Liz. Liz shook her head and spread her arms a bit, "I only talked to him about three times. And all three times were about Red." She motioned to Hellboy. "Look at this. I didn't even know about this." Jake said, and paused the video. He put it down and there was the wallpaper on the screen. Liz sitting on a bench it a park. It was spring, he must have gotten it from snooping around.

Professor Broom was very surprised. He would have to do more background on new agents from now on. He looked at Liz who looked deeply disturbed. "I can promise you he will be leaving. I did not know of this." He said. "You would never know from looking at him." Abe finally spoke. HB looked at him with a skeptical look. "You should have known." Abe looked at him. "I've never had a reason to be so nosey. I will check new agents from now on incase the professor misses something." He said. There was silence for a moment where HB put down the piece of cardboard. Then…."What are you doing?" John was here.

Everyone in the office looked to the doorway. Sure enough, there was John looking surprised and confused. HB looked at him and saw fear as well. "You little freak!" He shouted and rushed at him. John tried to turn and run but….to late, HB's stone hand wrapped around his upper left arm. HB drew him back and flung him on the ground. John had already figured out what was going on. They had found out. Jake, Liz , Abe, professor Broom, and HB moved around him. He was in trouble. Liz spoke first.

"Where do you get off?" She spoke in a loud voice. "I don't even know you!" Now she was shouting. "We only talked three times, and each time was about HB! I don't even consider you a friend!" She went on. Jake looked at her. "Am I your friend?" He asked. She looked back at him. "Of course you are. I've seen your room and your office." She said . "You don't have any weird obsessions….well you do have your video games but that's normal." She said and looked back down at John. HB spoke next.

"I knew there was something not right about you." He said with disgust in his voice. "It's a wonder you don't have any friends. "Who would want to be around a freak like you. I know I'm weird….but you are just….out there." He finished. Professor Broom watched him with disappointment in his eyes. "I thought you had potential." He said sadly. "Looks like I was wrong." He went on. "You will clear out all your belongings, give back whatever you were given or have taken, and you will leave this place immediately and never come back." His voice firm and commanding. This would not stand with him, ever.

John nodded and got up from the floor. Everyone else left the office. Everyone but Jake. John looked at him questioningly. "Why would you do something like this? Is this why you never got a girl? Why you were always to busy to play with me and my friends?" Jakes face was stone as he spoke. His older brother(by five minutes) had taken this to far. Liz was right. John didn't know her at all. He had no idea who she was. Jake had lots of time to learn. "You know what? Forget it, I'll just tell ma about it. Shell sort you out." Jake finished and turned. When he was half-way out of the doorway he turned back. "The Professor is right. Don't ever come back to this place. HB could do you some serious damage." He said, his face was still stone. "Far worse than a bruise on your arm." Jake finished. John tried to say something, but Jake held up his hand. The silver beads wrapped around hi wrist rattled. "Save it for ma. I don't need to hear you pathetic excuse." He put his hand down and walked out. He would find his new friends for right now, he needed to talk to them about this. 'God…..he needs help.'

\HB's room/

Liz paced back and forth in front of Hellboy's bed. HB stared and started counting her steps. '….7, 8, 9, 10, 11...1, 2.…' He snaps out of it when Liz turns to him, her expression…..pissed off. "I don't believe this." She started, "That guy is SICK….I don't believe this." She couldn't find words to say how mad and disgusted she was, what that Myers guy did was just way to wrong. HB stood up and went to her, he gripped her right shoulder with his normal hand. "Hey…if Pop had known do really think he would have let him in here?" His voice and outward mood seemed calm, but on the inside he wanted nothing more than to tear that boy scout clean in half. "Hey." A voice from the doorway.

HB and Liz turned to see Jake. He looked uncomfortable. HB motioned him in with his stone hand. His feet scuffed a bit as he walked to them. There was silence for a minute or two, then Liz spoke up, "I'm sorry….well not really….but I hope they fire your brother." Jake nodded in agreement. 'He'll be made fun of when he gets back there.' He thought. "He's leaving now right?" He wanted him gone as soon as possible. Jake nodded again and decided now was the time to talk. "Look I'm really sorry about this." He kept his head to the floor as he spoke. "I knew about the video…but everything else…I had no idea." He looked up at them. "I really am sorry about his behavior. I'm going to call our mother and she'll defiantly straighten him out."He finished with confidence in his voice. Suddenly bright red lights started flashing, and a siren went off. Clay ran into the room, he was sweating. Gross.

"There's….something….at the…library….downtown." He gasped out. HB looked at Liz, "You gonna stay here for this one kiddo?" Liz nodded. Nodding himself, HB grabbed his coat and started down the hallway. "Come on Jake, this should take our mind off things!" He yelled back. Jake looked at Liz, "You gonna be ok?" He asked quickly, he had to hurry up. Again Liz nodded, "I don't think they'll let your brother near me." Jake nodded and took off like a shot after HB. He needed his mind to be taken off things. Even if it was only for a little while.
