When Brandon arrived at their spot twenty minutes later, he saw what he had hope to see. Both of the Jacob siblings with a bag each. He knew they didn't own very much but, he was going to change that one day.

As he climbed up to the tower, Jude spots him first.

"Brandon!" The younger boy ran up to him and wrapped him in a hug.

"Hey buddy. You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just hungry. I haven't eaten since yesterday. Can we get something to eat before we go over to your house?" Brandon looked up to Callie when he heard the confession from the twelve year old. He knew something had been up in that house, other than what Callie had told him. She looked away from his gaze giving him all the answer he needed. He turned back to Jude.

"It's almost dinner time at my house. We are having baked ziti. You like that?"

"Yeah. Anything sounds good at this point. Except carrots, I don't like those." Brandon cracked a smile at that, even in the very serious situation they were in.

"Alright then buddy. My car is over there. It's open. Put your bag in the back seat and we will be right there in a second." With that Jude ran off, leaving the couple by themselves. She wouldn't look at him as Brandon wrapped her into a hug. He held her tight for a few minutes before taking her bag and walking her to the car.

"It's going to alright, Cal." He gave her a quick kiss on the side of her head as he opened up the passenger door for her. Once she was is, he put her bag in the trunk and leaned against the back of the car.

Brandon sighed as he took out his phone to call his mom. He knew the backlash would be a heck of a lot worse if she didn't get a heads up. That fact didn't ease the pit in his stomach as he heard the phone ring in his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom."

"Brandon what going on? What's wrong?" Crap, he was caught. He should know better by now having a cop for a mom.

"I need a favor. I need you not to be upset with me right now." Brandon said in hopes this will go over smoother than he anticipated. "You know how I haven't been around as much the last year or so. Well I have a girlfriend and she..."

"Brandon since when do you have a girlfriend? How long have you been together? Why haven't I met her?" Stef was now rambling angrily. So not what Brandon wanted right now. He interrupts her quickly before she could get to the point of actually demanding answers.

"Mom. I will explain all of that but, I have her brother and her in the car. They are in trouble and I need you to help me, please. I'm bringing them over now but, I thought I would call first. This is serious."

He heard her sigh on the other side of the phone. "How serious Brandon. Did they..."

"No they didn't do anything. They are not in a good living situation right now. Look, I'm freaking them out by being on the phone this long. The two of them are not the most trusting so please don't scare them when we walk in."

"Alright. You have my word." He cut in quickly before she hung up the phone.

"Mom also don't bombard them when they walk in. The people they have been living with haven't fed them in a few days. Let me get food in them first before we start this talk." He could hear in intake in breath as his mother understood the seriousness of the situation. This wasn't just teenage trouble they were dealing with but actually real life abuse. He heart went out to the siblings she hadn't even met yet.

"Alright Brandon. I will see the three of you home soon then."

"Mom. Thank you. You have no idea what this means to me. I'll see you soon." Brandon then hung up the phone and entered the car.

Before starting it up, he looked over to his girlfriend in the passenger seat. She had signs of hunger all over her. Something he didn't have ability to pick up the night before. Today was not the day he planed for them but, if this is what it took to get them in a good home then so be it.

He grabbed her hand and gave her a small smile before turning to Jude in the back seat. "Alright who's ready to get out of here?"

The response that I have gotten for this story is unbelievable. I am very thankful to all of you. Next chapter is the Jacobs meeting the Fosters. It will be interesting I'm sure.
