Day 24

Lillian awoke with jerk. "She dreamt that everyone was gone and she was left alone in the deep dark woods running from scary sounds.

After all she had been through this month no wonder the dreams came.

Jake was not in bed so her safe feeling was gone. She put on her robe and went looking for him. He was standing in front of the big picture window looking out into the garden talking on the Phone.

"Ok, thanks for the update. Have extra security there. Ok. Book a flight out that night no need to keep her waiting. I want you to personally keep her safe."

Lillian walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist and took a deep breath of his scent.

Her shakey body from nightmare faded as the feeling of safety returned.

Jake reached around and pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head.

"Who was that?" She asked.

"Zane, all of my father's and that woman's arrangements have been done. I need to see my brother and sister today. Hana will be easy she is staying at Charlie's new place. My brother Albert is a different matter. I am not sure how to approach him."

"I can go with you. Remember I use to talk to people to get donation for Caring Hands." She smiled up at him.

"My wife is the best." He kissed her before pulling her back to their room

Samuel Redford was reclining on a sofa with two beautiful girls when on of his men walked in with a file.

"Boss here is the information you asked for about Senior Wolf. I think the best time to attack Wolf at the funeral. No one would have tight security at something like that for a man that not many liked. Do we go after the man or his girl?" One of the Red Snakes said.

"We will not underestimate him again. A wolf runs in a pack and he will have his pack near. Let me study the information you got. I will have a plan by tonight. This time no mistakes can be made." He opened the file and started to read.

As he read and scanned an evil smile appeared on his face. He had a plan that Wolf himself would never have expected.

Albert Wolf came home. He had always been disappointed in his family and now a brother he never really known has step up to help.

His father will left everything to his mother and his mother left no will. So everything will be tied up in court. How was he supposed to take care of the bills they still owe. And Hana's School bills. He made a good living but they only had a small savings.

When his phone rang he looked down 'Private Number ' "Hello?"

"We need to talk." The voice said.

"Who is this?" Albert asked.

"This is your half brother Jake. Please can we talk?" Jake asked.

"Sure I'm downtown right now. Where shall we meet.?"

"I have a private room at 'Our Place.' can you meet me there say in 20?" Jake asked.

"Sure" Albert decided to walk it was only a few blocks away and he had a great parking spot.

When he arrived they took him back to the room.

They looked like brothers but never interacted with each other.

"What Can I do for my dear older brother.?" Albert asked.

"What our parents did is between them. I had hoped to be friends. I have looked into the bills left by our father. I will take care of everything. Father did not have much, everything belonged to my mother. So what he does have will go to you. I ask you don't use the money, but put it aside for Gabrielle schooling. I'll help out with Hana's schooling." Jake said.

"Why you doing this?" Albert asked.

"We are family. A wolf pack looks after it's own. There's one more thing. I need your family safe. I have placed a few trust worthy gaurds around your wife and son. I have enemies after me right now. They will try to use my family against me."

"Thank you for telling me. I had decided long ago not to follow in my fathers foot steps. Even though I know he spent more time with me than you he hated what I decided to do with my life."

"I just want to make sure we can be brothers. I would like that." Jake said.

They shook hands and parted ways. That went better then he ever thought of.

Then he headed over to Charlie's with Lillian to talk to Hana.

"Thanks Charlie for setting this up. Hana I am your half brother Jake. I am sorry we never met before." Jake started.

"I've known about you since I was small. I asked Dad once if I could meet you he said that wanted that too but you would never agree to it." Hana said.

"That's not true. I did not know about till I was 20 and investigated my father on his were abouts while growing up. When I found out I confronted him. He said that his real family was none of my business, that was when I started pushing him out of the company." Jake said.

"Sounds like Dad's bullshit he would spout."

"I just left our brother. After our talk I am proud to call him my brother and hope to call you sister. As I told your brother I am a powerful man with enemies and they would not think twice to use my family to get back at me. I will assign gaurds to help protect you. And I know Charlie cares a great deal. I also told your brother that I will take care of all your fathers and mothers bill so the small amount of assets your father left should be set aside for Gabrielle to go to school. There for I will take care of all your schooling."

"What if I want to change my career choice and start over?" She asked.

"I will cover that. Just decide what you want to do."

She got up and flung herself into his arms hugging him tight. "Thank you this makes me very happy. I want to study business and entertainment strategies to help Charlie make his new business grow."

Jake laughed, "Anything for my baby sister and best Friend.

He could not believe that he now had a brother and sister to care about. His family was growing.

As he headed home he thanked God for having something go so right in his life.
