Thanks to all reviewers!

"Exactly what is it you two thought you were doing?" Tony Russo questioned fixing the teenagers in front of him with the glare he reserved for rival mob bosses and employees who had screwed up royally.
"…escaping…" Frank muttered.
"I would think that would be obvious even to someone as…" Sofia said continuing the detective's sentence.
"Lacking in intelligence as you apparently are." Frank finished not really caring that he probably shouldn't insult irate mobsters even if they happened to be his estranged grandfather.
"I will not tolerate that sort of insolence." Russo responded with a glare.
"I've taught you better then this." Roger said walking around the desk and grabbing Sofia by her upper arm and pulling her from the chair and toward the door.
"You haven't taught me anything other then how not to behave…" She responded attempting to wrench her arm from his grip. He only tightened it and pulled her out the door.
Tony paused in his lecture waiting for the door to swing shut. "As you are aware I'm now your legal guardian and I will not tolerate disobedience." Tony said with a wave of his hand which resulted in one of his bodyguards stepping forward and pulling Frank from his chair. "Teach him." The mobster continued with a nod to the guard who nodded to his boss and dragged a protesting Frank from the room.
Joe…
"What seems to be the problem here?" The officer who had been sent to the Embassy asked in accented English.
"This man is trying to take my son." Fenton responded with a scowl toward Tosino.
"And why is this?" Officer Tremolo asked nodding toward Tosino to indicate that he should answer.
"My client, Anthony Russo, filed for custody of his grandchildren Frank and Joe Hardy and was granted it. Fenton Hardy lost his rights to both custody and visitation and is refusing to surrender Joe into my client's custody."
"May I see the custodial papers?" Tremolo inquired.
"Yes, of course." Tosino answered handing him the papers in question. Tremolo looked them over before nodding at Tosino once more.
"Everything seems to be in order. Mr. Hardy I'm going to have to ask you to surrender Joseph into the custody of Mr. Tosino."
"No way in hell am I handing my sons over to their whack job of a grandfather."
"I need you to step away from Joseph and allow Mr. Tosino to bring him to his grandfather." Tremolo ordered.
"No way in hell." Fenton said tightening his grip on Joe's shoulder as the teen in question nodded his agreement.
"Fenton Hardy you're under arrest for violating a court order." The officer said pulling Fenton away from Joe and placing handcuffs on him before leading him from the Embassy.
"Let's go." Tosino ordered Joe pushing the shocked boy out the doors and into the backseat of the waiting limo.
Frank…
Frank bit back a groan as the bodyguard's fist slammed into his gut…for the tenth time. The guard seemed to sense that Frank was about to crack and decided to help him along by slamming his fist directly into the teen's face causing his nose to crack ominously before blood began to pour down his face. The guard grinned and grabbed the boy by his hair slamming him back into the wall. "Never. Disobey. The. Boss. Again." He continued punctuating the break between each word by slamming Frank's head against the wall. "Don't make me remind you of this." The man continued pulling Frank up as he threatened to sink to the ground. Frank was dragged from the room to the bedroom he shared with Sofia. He was dropped unceremoniously in the room with the door locked behind him.
"Oh my…" Sofia started launching herself out of the chair she had been sitting in and over toward Frank. "What happened to you?" She questioned pushing his hair back from his forehead to examine a cut that resided there.
"I could ask you the same thing…" Frank mumbled warily.
"It's just a few bruises and a black eye, you my friend are much worse." The girl responded rising and going into the bathroom that adjoined their room. She returned moments later with peroxide, gauze, medical tape, and tissues. "Hold this on your nose and tilt your head back." Sofia commanded giving Frank a handful of tissues. "This may sting a bit." She continued as she began to unceremoniously pour peroxide onto all his cuts.
"Ow." Frank responded with a slight glare.
"Suck it up." Sofia responded giving him a cheerful grin. Frank shook his head at her she really did remind him of Joe sometimes. The door to their room was thrown open ten minutes later just after Sofia had managed to get Frank into a chair on the other side of the room.
"Let me go." The blonde haired person who had been thrown into the room was screaming as he was forced into the bedroom. He was shoved backwards and the door slammed shut behind him. He seemingly hadn't noticed their presence in the room.
"Joe?" Frank asked recognizing the loud voice even if his eyes were closed.
"Frank?" The teen responded getting up off the floor and turning to face his brother. "You're okay!" Joe exclaimed throwing himself across the room at his brother.
"Yes, now please let go. You're hurting me." Frank responded attempting to pry himself from his brother's grip.
"Is this your brother?" Sofia asked eyeing the boy in front of her.
"Yes, in all his obnoxious glory." Frank answered. Joe frowned about to respond to the comment when he spotted the gold ring on his brother's left ring finger.
"You're married?!"
A/N Heh, I'm evil...well not really because I have the next chapter prewritten and plan to put it up as soon as I get reviews. And again sorry for making you wait so long for an update. Review, please.
