Chapter 6: Pushing up The Daises

 

 

"Wait… you mean Dr. Oak's foster son?" asks the male Doctor. "Yeah…"said Dr.Ernstein. "Wow…I did not know that handsome has problems…" said by the older female doctor. "Honestly… I was surprised, and as usual, the other patients while I will focus on Major Crayton… Anyways… Take on the copies of their records and data as I wait you in Oakward…" said Dr.Ernstein as he goes out. "Okay, mini-boss... Come with us…" said the older female Doctor.

They go to the records room with the assistance of a nurse and a technician. The nurse and the technician can't stop staring at Michelle. "Excuse me? Why can't you stop staring at me?" asks Michelle. "Sorry Doctor…" said by both of them.

 The technician says, "She's hot but it seems she's feisty…" The nurse nods. She looks at Hector's picture when he was young, he looks like a beautiful doll-like girl with short hair. The male doctor looks at it. "Wait… That's… that's Hector right? Man, he looks like a very pretty girl!" exclaimed by him. "Yes, he looks a lot like a girl especially in a bob cut before…" said Michelle. "You know Hector personally?" asks him. "We were childhood friends…" said Michelle.

7:30 a.m., Hector wakes up and go to the gym in the house. The Head Butler sees him, "Good morning Master Hector…" Hector looks at him. "The equipment ready sir… And Master Bruce is here with Lady Sherry and young master Brian…" said by him. "Where are they?" asks Hector. "They are also at the gym... They seem to be waiting for you…" said the head butler. Hector smiles as he walks slowly and enters the room. 

Bruce was in his swimming trunks as he raises the dumbbells slowly with earphones in his head and Sherry was running gracefully in her running attire with an orange earphone in her ears. "Hector!" said Bruce as he comes to him, and hugs him. "Dude! Your all sweaty and naked… get off…" said Hector. 

"Meh… You just miss me!" said Bruce as he hug carry him. "Stop! Stop!" said Hector. Sherry waves at him as she continues to run. Bruce releases him. "So, how's your medication?" asks Bruce. "I'm still starting out… this would be the 2nd day of it…" said Hector. Bruce gets his blue towel and wipe himself with it. Sherry goes to him and fondles his muscles. Hector goes to the pull-up bars. "You know, Hector maybe not as bulky as me, he still have a good body…" said Bruce. 

"Really?" asks Sherry. "Sure thing, but he was sometimes very pale and his nipples are pinkier than yours…" said Bruce as he laughs. "I HEARD THAT!" shouted Hector as he continues the pull-ups. "But it seems, he bulk-up a little…" said Bruce as he shouts, "Hector! Remove your shirt!" but Hector stops and shouted, "You just insulted my nipples, know you want me to strip?! Never!"

"Mye… Dude! Show your body to my wife!" shouted Bruce. "That's weird! That's super weird!" replied Hector by a shout. Hector goes to the thread mill and start to run. "Oh, come-on bro… Show me the muscle!" said Bruce as he flexes his will shaped muscles and bulky arms and chest.

"Well, no… I'm not a strip-ass like you…" said Hector. Sherry laughs out loud.

 

Sherry laughs and says, "You two are totally opposites..." Bruce hugs her and kiss her on the forehead as he says, "Yeah… Even in the shower, Hector wears shower clothes…" said Bruce. "Dude… I only wear my shower clothes If I shower with the presence of other people…" said Hector. "We all use to shower a lot, especially with Pops, Papi and Abel…" said Bruce. "Do Lance and Vens take a bath with you before?" asks Sherry. "Yeah… a few times, they were fostered in later years…" said Bruce.

"How many years ago?" asks Sherry. Mhhh… lance is 27, Vens is 26 now so…14 years ago… The time we buy back the mansion…" said Bruce. "I see…" said Sherry. The sit down and Bruce cuddles Hector. "Please stop doing that…" said Hector. 

"Why not used to it?" asks Bruce as he kisses him in the cheek. Sherry paused for a moment. "Ehh.. Yuck! Yuck!" said Hector as He pushes Bruce away. "Okay.. sorry… I lost my bet to my wife… I have to be homo-bromantic to you for few minutes…" said Bruce. Sherry was blushing and seems to be delighted on what she saw. "No! Yuck!" said Hector. Sherry's cell phone rings. "Okay… That will do it…" said Sherry. Bruce sighs in relief as he releases Hector. 

Sherry says, "I can ship that… Let's go hubby…" said Sherry. "Okay… Then that means…" said Bruce. Sherry smiles with her eyebrows dancing up and down as she go upstairs to Bruce's room. "What's the meaning of that?" asks Hector. 

"We were playing cards… Monster cards game… if I win… She will womance Michelle with a ship…" said Bruce.Hector look flustered. Bruce grins and whispers, "Sherry is an expert in many games but I beat her a few times… If I beat her this time, Sherry x Michelle… So bear with it bud, I want to see my wife fondling another woman…" Hector flusters and goes away. Sherry checks them back. "Hubby! Let's shower already…" said Sherry as Hector passes by her. 

"Okay… tsk..tsk…" said Bruce as they go back to Bruce's room. Rex sees them closing the door. Few minutes later, Hector finishes showering in his room with his room. He rubs himself with a towel and covers his waist with it. Rex Barges in and shouts "Hey!" Hectors goes back in the bathroom. 

"What's wrong baby boy?" asks Rex. "DON'T BARGE IN LIKE THAT!" shouted Hector. "What are you a growing teenager? Please…I have seen every part of you, even your two hot dogs…" said Rex sarcastically. Hector goes back with a red shirt and white pants. "Seriously, you have a shirt even in your bathroom… Let's have a father-and-son bonding time…" said Rex. Hector seems to be pouting. Rex chuckles and tackles him to the bed.

 "I don't know why but it seems everyone is cuddling me a lot this time…" said Hector. "Nah… I do this a lot with your dad or sometime your Pops…" said Rex.Hector seems to be thinking deeply. Rex lowers down his position to see him face to face.

 "What's my baby boy's thinking?" asks Rex as he squeezes both of his cheeks. "Nothing" said Hector as he faces back. "Hey! Hey! Face Papa! Face Papa!" said Rex as Hector turns back. "I heard everything from Bryce… man, you actually make quite a punch… but yesterday… I actually felt happy on you calling me daddy… thinking I was Lex… you hugged me tightly as you cry in my shoulder…" as a drop of tear drops on Rex's eyes. He comes closer and presses his forehead against Hector's forehead. 

 

 

"I promise you, I will keep in touch to you and veryone… I won't run anymore … I will bring everything in power to find who did these to you, to Lex and to Helga..." Hector stands up. "Hey! Come back!" said Rex. "I'm going out… I need some sun, I'm too pale…" said Hector. "Yeah, you better get some sun… I'm coming!" said Rex. They go outside and walk a few meters towards the sea. Bryce was sitting in the bench talking to another bearded man. They laugh. 

"Nah… Bryan likes to play around most of the time…" said Bryce. "Your son is so cute…" said by a woman near him. Hector goes to him. "Bryan? No… He's my grandson…" said Bryce. The bearded man and the woman were quite shocked. 

"Really? You look younger than me…" said by the bearded man. "No… I'm 48…" said Bryce as he sees Hector. "Pops… I think you have an appointment?" asks Hector. "Anyways, guys, this is one of my sons, Hector… And that guy is my older brother, Rex…" said Bryce. "Ulala… He's quite a hottie… you two look just like brothers…" said the woman. "I get that a lot…" said Bryce. "They look more like father and son than you two do…" said the man. 

"Well, they are genetically related… anyways… BRYAN!" shouted Bryce. Bryan goes to them. Bryce stands up and hold Bryan's hand. "We will be going…" said Bryce. Rex comes near. Rex looks at Bryan carefully.

 "By the moment, that little boy starts to look more and more like Bryce when we were young… except with black hair and green eyes…" said Rex. "Nah, he will look more and more like Bruce when he grows up…" said Bryce."Papa! Why grandpa Rex look like uncle Hector?" asks Bryan. "He's your Uncle Hector's dad's twin…" said Bryce. "I don't get it…" said Bryan. "It's fine… You will understand someday…." Said Bryce. They stop by a nearby shop with popcorn and ice cream. 

Al sees them. "Hey yoh!" said Al. "Hey!" said Rex. "Wazzup sweetie pie…" said Al to Bryan. Bryan hides at Bryce's back. "Why,why shy little sweetie pie… It's me, Uncle Al…" said Al. Rex giggles. "What?" asks Al. "Uncle… Uncle Al…" said Rex. "Oh, fuck off!" said Al.

 "Nah, come on Al… Anyways… See ya guys… Me and Al will be going away… See ya men…" said Rex as they go away. Bruce and Sherry go to them. "Pops! It's time… Let's go!" said Bruce. They go away to the car.Hector sighs and he goes near the shore in a double bench. He sighs again and say, "Alone again…" said Hector as someone says the same at the back. They look at each other. "Hector?" asks Michelle. They laugh. "Seriously… Why are you here?" asks Michelle.

 "I was walking, taking some sun…" said Hector. "I was with uncle Al and he goes away…." said Michelle. "Nah, Papa and Al went away then Bruce and Pops and family went there in something… I don't know…" said Hector.

"Anyways… want something to grub?" asks Hector. "Okay…" said Michelle. They go to the popcorn stall. Then they walk even further. Al and Rex was laughing while talking to each other. They see Hector and Michelle waves back. They go away. "Wait… Your appointment with me would be an hour from now…" said Michelle. "Yup… by the way, why are you here right now? Don't you have any work to do?" asks Hector. 

 

 

"My appointments starts at 10:30 until 3:30… Not really that heavy, it seems I am tested for my merit… Yes, it's quite hard, but I can do that…" said Michelle. Hector smiles and say, "I challenge you Michelle for a game…" said Hector. "I think I like how you think… EH-chan…" said Michelle. They sat down in the park. "What will we play?" asks Michelle. "We will play guess the object in the most accurately, bad way…" said Hector. Michelle nods. 

"Rules are simple, explain three objects that you have, after 3 guess, show the answer whether it's right or wrong…Right answer will give one point, wrong answer will give the points to the handler. First 3 points…Describe it badly but sensibly…" said Hector.

"I'll give another one…, the loser will answer a truth and a dare…"said Michelle. "I'm fine with that…" said Hector. Hector picks something from his pocket and hold it. "It's a poisonous, it can cause cavities, the cover destroys nature and the inside has a poo color…" said Hector. "It's a chocolate candy… the poo color give it away… aluminum are mined which destroys nature and it's poisonous to cats and dogs…" said Michelle. 

"Okay… right…" said Michelle. Hector gives it to her, revealing almond seeds inside a candy wrapper. Michelle was shocked and say, "What the heck! I thought I was right!" said Michelle. "It's poisonous to some extent… Plastic came from petroleum," Said Hector as he fidgets.

"From Ores which is mined and releases carbon monoxide in the air... it's covered in dark brown caramel…" said Hector."Well played Eh-chan… Well played…" said Michelle. She takes something from her pocket and shows her clenched fist to Hector. "I wear it in an ear… It's an element in the periodic table. Sometimes it's dangling or not dangling at all… It doesn't have any precious stones…" said Michelle. They laugh. 

"Mhhh…It's a false giveaway… It has an element in the periodic table… thus gives away things… You put it in the ears… Dangling or not dangling… an earphone, earphone has copper in wires predominantly… it dangles with wires, doesn't dangles if wireless…" said Hector.

 "Wow, what did Gerard feed you to be this smart?" asks Michelle. "My Pop's books… I ate them…" said Hector they laugh. "I never anticipated it…" said Michelle. "nah, you are just over thinking…" said Hector sarcastically .Hector takes a leather wallet out. He holds it and seems to be grabbing something inside. "It's not what it seems, but I could kill an animal for it… But I did not…It's not green nor it's yellow…." Said Hector. 

"Your Wallet… It's not real leather…" said Michelle. "Okay… 1 point for you…" replied Hector. "Okay, two pointers for Eh-chan… My turn…" said Michelle. She takes something from her bag and grabs it but not showing it. 

"It's 5 to 7 inches… I put it in somewhere…. Closed… and wet…" said Michelle in a very sexual manner. Hector feels awkward. Michelle tiptoes on his ear and whispers very sexually, "Sometimes, It vibrates…. Filled with sticky, bubbly, white, fluids…" Michelle grins and slowly stops tiptoeing. Hector moves away a little with blood rushing in his ears and cheeks. "Uhm… Uhm… uhhhh… I give up! A gentleman must not say something like this…" said Hector. 

 

 

Michelle takes out a vibrating toothbrush. Hector laughs awkwardly. "What are you thinking you… pervert!" said Michelle "Ugh… you take me for an advantage!" said Hector. "Use your mind Eh-chan! I'm going to win!" said Michelle. "Okay… you wanna play like that huh… This one is small, can hurt when thrown… has something lewd written on it about bearded, muscle men…" said Hector as his eyes squint. Michelle was shocked. "Did? Is that? Is that my? No!" said Michelle. "Answer it Michelle…" replies Hector with a smug look on his face. 

"It's… my… Ero-Ero Burusai diary… the small one…" said Michelle. He reads a small pink and magenta diary and says, "Dear diary… I saw Eh-chan… Eh-chan now is a handsome, handsome man… He looks so manly…oh my gush… He has a muscles-muscles body… I love his abs… But what I love to see most… Is his warm nature… He is silent and stoic… He's nice to watch with… I admit his cute, but he's not as BARA as Dr.Bryce… the beard, the hairy arms… MUSCLES!" said Hector.

Hector hisses out of disgust and say, "Are you fantasizing on my Pops?" asks Hector as he reads other lines quietly… Kissing in the kitchen? Pops and… you want to see them kissing in the kitchen?" said asks Hector. "Give it back to me!!!" exclaimed Michelle.

"Woman! They are not gay… Pops has a girlfriend and Papi Gerard…Well…. He and aunt Eleanor… it's complicated between the two of them…" replied Hector as he reads another entry, "Despite I'm not attracted to Eh-chan… I still have the strong urge to hug him… tell him everything is all right…" He slows down and adds, "Like he did to me in that party, where I kissed him as thank you… I love Eh-chan… He was caring…He was strong and mature… I want Help Eh-chan to be happy…" 

He looks at Michelle. Michelle looks like she's about to cry. "I'm… Eh…Wait…You genuinely love me… as Eh-chan" said Michelle. She runs away out of frustration. Hector face palms and regrets what he read as he looks at the small notebook's name as he says to himself, "Ero-ero Burusai… She won…"

"Stupid Eh-chan… invading my privacy journal!" said Michelle. Abel sees her as he sips on a milk tea. Abel she notices Michelle is about to cry. He sits down, few feet from her. "Wow, the amazon princess is about to cry… pretty rare sight…" said Abel as he presses something from his earphone. Hector runs towards her, "Mhh…What an Interesting turn of events." said Abel. "Michelle! It's quite rude of me to take something away… It's just to… to… I'm sorry…" said Hector.

Michelle looks back and take her journal, "Please just don't talk to me… For a while…" said Michelle as she goes away. Abel goes to him, "Pure Hector… Before he breaks hearts politely, now…. He does that like a anti-privacy pervert…" said Abel.

"Dude, butt off…" said Hector. "Wow, It's rare for the great slightly Perverted Gentleman to make the amazon princess cry…" said Abel. "Seriously dude…" implied Hector as he goes away. Other Doctors go to Abel. "Gotta go…" said Abel as they go away. Hector goes after Michelle. "He's really a cutie…" said one of the Doctors. "Can you please stop saying that… You're a guy…" said Abel. They laugh. "I can go gay for a guy like that… no homo…" said by him. They laugh even more. 

 Hector looks around. He sees Michelle near the shore. Hector slowly goes to her. "You're really are persuasive, aren't you…" said Michelle. "Michelle… I'm really sorry… I'm being an ass, But also… Thank you…" said Hector he smiles as he rubs his lips. 

 

Michelle looks at him. Hector holds his shoulder out of insecurity and guilt and say, "I always push people away because… I was afraid that I might hurt them physically and especially, emotionally… That's why most of my friends… Stop being friends with me… The soccer team, college friends, I just don't want to stop being friends with people I care about, I do care about you…I'm sorry." said Hector sincerely .Michelle goes to him and hugs him. Hector blushed. 

Rex and Al see them from a far. "Is there a development we did not know?" asks Al. "You tell me... " said Rex as he grins, "I honestly think they would be good for each other…" said Rex. Al looks at him, "Dude, I don't want to be your in-law…" said Al. 

 "Dumb ass! It doesn't mean marriage…" said Rex. "Yeah… I am… Let the kids decide…" said Al. He looks at his clock. "Dude… We got to go! We still have investigations to " said Al as they walk away. "This… this feels awkward…" said Hector as he blushes even more.She releases him. "Since I win… You will answer me one truth and you will come with me tonight…" said Michelle. The Brown van stops. "They're here…" said Hector. Bryce pushes the horn. 

Hector goes in the front sit while Michelle at the back. "It's pretty rare to see you driving Doc." said Michelle. "Nah, I drive my kids all the time when they were young… So, Dr.Holmes…" said Bryce. Michelle seems to smile as Hector looks at the front mirror. 

 "Yes Doc…" replied Michelle. "Please take care of my son…" said Bryce. Michelle seems to blush as he stops in front of the Oakward. "Take care… Your Papi Gerard is waiting as a guardian, I'm sorry… I will be gone the whole day…I'm going to the police…" said Bryce as he opens his arms. Hector hugs him and Bryce taps his back. They go out from the car and proceed inside the ward. Hector looks at the garden, full of different colored tulips and lilies.

 He smiles and says, "They're still here…" said Hector. He goes to the garden and seems to be delighted touching it. He sees the couch under an apple tree as he smells the light red tulips. "I forgot, they bloom this time of the year…" said Hector.

 A tall, army-like, blonde guy, with hazel green eyes and clean shave removes his sunglasses. He smiles, and go to him. "Wow… You really do look like Lex… I'm Zach… I'm… Actually Helga's Stepbrother… you got her eyes…" said by him. "Oh! Zachary Wissex…I… I never seen you before, I'm… One of her 2 sons…." said Hector. "Can I sit here?" asks him. "Sure… Sorry… I kinda feel awkward…" said Hector as he laughs nervously. 

Zach removes his leg, revealing it was a prosthetic. "Oh..Oh! You're a Patient here! Going back to service soon too?" asks Hector. "Nah, I leave my soldier days behind… But your Mom and I and Lex and his brother was in the army…" as he puts his hat and shades. 

"How stupid Helga was going there, just to chase Lex… Maybe both of us are stupid… I do the same… I, I was in the army to chase a part of my heart too…and I did… Lex looks like you a lot… But you got your mom's eyes…" as He touches Hector's face. Hector moves a little. Zach puts hi foot back. "Anyways… nice to meet one of my step nephews…Regards me to Stepdad…" as He goes outside, "And Tell your Pops, I said Hi!" said Zach as he goes to the shores.

Gerard goes out. "Oh… Where's my boy?" asks Gerard. Hector goes to them. "Let's go…" said Gerard. They go inside the hall with chairs in a circle with people sitting next to each other. The army veterans on the right, some with prosthetic arms or foot, Civilian looking people some with scars.

.

Hector seems to catch the eyes of everyone around him. Making him self-conscious and backs of a step. "I'm not sure if He's Lex's or Rex's son… He moves likes Lex though…Maybe Lex's…" said by an Older Veteran. "He's… That hoy guy in a business magazine… like 5 years ago…" said by a girl. "I… I think am gonna go…" said Hector but Gerard pulls him back and put him in a chair near the Veterans and 2 chairs away the girl group of 5. The veterans seem to look at him as the girls do. 

Hector's shyness grows even further. A he-man Veteran, looks like as old as Gerard with prosthetic arm, rugged face and bukly stature. He wraps Hector around his arms. "Hey, you Rex's boy or Lex's boy?" asks him. "Lector's…" said Hector. The veterans start to converse happily.

"Anyways boy, this is our men… Well, we go by codenames more or less… I'm Major Arm, yes… Lex was with us in Iraq, all most all of us…I'm actually Vens and Sven's uncle… I was still lieutenant that time… While your uncle? Papa? What do you call Gerard?" asks Major Arm. "Hey Francis… Stop hogging him! We want to know him too!" said by a guy with a prosthetic left foot. 

"As usual… This is Sergeant at Arms, Colonel Foot R, Colonel Foot L, Colonel No hands and me, Major Arm... We knew your dad… fun times… He was 20 that time, well, he was 4 or lesser … He was excited to have a baby… He brought you one time…" said Major arm.

The veterans round him up. "He's quite a charmer, like his dad…" said Sgt at Arms. "He looks like Lector but… Is it just me or he is more handsome than his dad or his dad's twin." said Colonel Foot L. They seem to approve. More people go to the chairs. "It seems about to start… Dude… He's like the barrack's baby… Damn it… You are at the hospital in your Dad and Mom's funeral… We only saw the baby one carried by Gerard … But you… you are the barrack's baby…" said Major Arm.

Hector moves away a little, releasing himself from Major Arm's shoulder. They laugh. "You are acting like Rex… or that beautiful girl Hesviita… Oh, Helga was your mom… Feisty dark haired brunette with yellow eyes, tamed by Lector…" said Major Hand.

Michelle goes at the center. Gerard goes to the other room with the other guardians. "Wait… you must pick a codename…" said Michelle. Hector can't think of any. He hears, Prince Charmin', Gentleman, Handsome One and Pretty boy. Hector says, "Eh-chan…Eh-chan.. Eachann… or is it pronounced Iy-khan… yeah it's pronounced Iy –khan…" said Hector as Michelle giggles. Hector giggles back. They notice something between Hector and Michelle.

"Okay, Guys this is Eachann… You seem to know the veterans… This women are Honey, Lemon, Tea , and Anchovy…" said Michelle. "I don't know… maybe, we should call you delicious…" said Lemon as they giggle. "And these are Speed, Brain and Muscle…" said Michelle. 

"We should call you Face…" said Brain. "Nah, I'm keeping Eachann…" said Hector. "I'm Doctor Holmes… I'm under Dr. Ray Ernstein and Dr.Oak's student. Okay! We will be sharing about your condition… From the Veterans please…" said Michelle. Major Arm stands up and says, "We are The War Veterans… We have the same tragic history … We are all in the same platoon… yes, most of our friends died and we lost few arms, legs and feet… " said Major Arm.

 

 

"I'm Lemon… I got PTSD because I was a rape Victim… Almost all of us in this corner, our stories are parallel…" said Lemon. "My name is Brain, this is Speed and this is Muscle… We are victims of very severe school bullying in high school years…" said Brain. Hector seems to be the last one. "I…I am Eachann… It looks like Eh-chan, but no. I… I am, a homicide and arson survivor, twice in arson…So, I… decide I need help." said Hector. They start to look at him both with curiosity and pity. 

The veterans felt really sorry for Hector. Out of pity, Major Arm holds his shoulder. "Bryce did the right thing that he took you and raise you…" said Major Arm. "Its fine… I will get over it…" said Hector. "Okay, let's start sharing stories!" said Michelle.

The hours passed, the veteran group shared everything happened , especially in the battlefield where Bryce, Gerard and Al's platoon rescued them. They laugh when they remember when Hector was a wee baby. "No offence, but I'm baby Hector's favorite uncle!" said Major Arm. They seem to approve, so don't be shy on us… We're like your uncles… especially me…I'm Vens and Sven's uncle…" said Major Arm. "Thanks." Said Hector with a comforting smile. The Veterans hugs him. 

"Nah despite you, being a full grown man…,you will always be the Barrack's baby…" said Major Arm. The group shuffles again. Hector was with the women's group. They giggle a lot making Hector shy. "He's blushing… he's blushing… so cute…" said Lemon. 

"Don't blush us off handsome… tell us your story…" said Honey. Hector tells his story when a men invaded there house, and how their parents was tied down with him and facing that there would be no escape… he accepted he will die, afraid as a man walks to him, realizing it was Bryce and Gerard saved him. The girls seem to give him a mix of pity and happy look. "Don't be foreign to us… All of us are here together…Don't shy off…" said Anchovies. 

He moves to the next group as the group shuffles. "Wow… You are handsome, even I'm a guy… you are attractive… no homo…" said Muscles. "So what is your story?" asks Hector. "We are severely bullied for different reasons… I was bullied because I'm more of a nerd… too nerdy…" said Brain.

"I was bullied because I was small and a scardy-cat… I run away quickly when I am bullied…" said Speed. "Well… I am big and strong but I lack common sense… So I was bullied a lot too…" said Muscle. "You remind me of my little brother… He was used to be bullied too… until he fought back… It was thanks to his friends actually… so are you three in college now?" asks Hector. "Yeah… We are also roommates…" said Brain. "Wait, what's your story?" asks Brain. Hector tells it to them.

Few more hours later, they start to interact even more. How they have night terrors, problems with public places… Sleep walking and worst things that happened. Hector starts to feel the sense that he seem to belong. It made Hector quite tired and sleepy. He yawns. Michelle asks him, "Dude, need to rest a bit?" asks Michelle. "Maybe… I'm still quite tired… I'm going to the garden though… I used to sleep there when we are living here for a while…" said Hector.

He lays down under the tree and sleep in the bench. Hector looks relaxed and comfortable as he sleeps. Gerard and the veterans look at him. "He seems to be a very good son to you, Bryce and maybe Rex too…" said Major Arm. "Promise me you won't tell what Rex did to you…" said Gerard.

 

 

"Promise… we don't want to trouble this… I miss calling him baby boy but, he's taller than me.. He did became quite a man… thanks to you and Bryce…" said Major Arm. "Where's the rest of your platoon Gerard?" asks Major Hand. "Some of them are Rex's mateys, Al was still alive… he's not actually in the platoon but we are close to him…" said Gerard. They laugh. "Nah, I know Al is a good guy…" said Major hand. "I heard Crayton's condition are worse than before…" said Gerard.

"He… he knew who killed Lex and Helga… We want to avenge them… but… If I tell you the culprits, promise me you will stay away from them…" said Major Arm. Gerard look at them with a serious angry look. He says, "They are monsters… catching them is not enough…" said Major Arm.

Al and Rex were laying down in the shore, under an umbrella. A police officer goes to them. "Detective Alexander Holmes of the Interpol? Your sources are pretty fine… and spot on…" said the officer. "Well, well… One of my favorite students…" said Al. "Glad to see you sir!" said the police officer. "Much obliged… This is my cohort, Captain Rector Anderson also from Interpol. Anyways, He got a lot… I mean a lot of connections…He needs to know…too…" said Al. The Police gives them a picture. 

Hector wakes up as he notice few animals are around him, sleeping too. Birds and squirrels. Hector stretches, making the animals wake up and some stretches and starts to fly away and look at him. Michelle laughs and say, "You look like a fairy tale princess… with animal friends…" 

"Haha… funny…" said Hector in a very unimpressed tune. "Anyways… The session now is finished…Let's go…": said Michelle. Hector smiles. They go back to the car. "So kids, We will be going in Xavier's house… he's finding you mostly, they prepared tea time…" said Gerard. "Xavier who?" asks Michelle. "Senator Xavier C. Wissex…Hector's other grandpa… " said Gerard. They stop by a luxurious hotel. "Wait… you own this building right?" asks Michelle. 

"My granddad do…." said Hector. Gerard was given a key. "Thanks…" said Gerard.Gerard, Michelle and Hector go to the elevator. Gerard presses the 69th floor. He sees a bunch of people that seems to be high profile. Viktor and a beautiful Japanese woman were talking. Michelle notices that woman. The Japanese woman looks at Michelle. "MI-CHAN!!!" shouted her. "Okasan(mama)!" said Michelle. She hugs her and say, "Oh… the in famous Hector Anderson… nice to meet you young man…"

 "Hector… This is my Mama Mich or Okasan Mitzu…" said Michelle. "Do my daughter miss me?" asks Mich. "I was in Japan a month ago, in your anniversary, remember?" asks Michelle. "Nah… Why not work in the Kaseteru's hospital? So you are near me…" said Mich. 

"Okasan… Stop babying me!" said Michelle. She looks at the two of them. "I thought Michelle was a lesbian too before when she was young… she was found of this girl… she kissed her at the party. Michelle and Hector blushes as they look away. Gerard clears throat. "Haha! My cute kohai(younger class man)… Nice to see you still ruggedly handsome…" said Mich. 

"You still look like a 20 year old girl…" said Gerard. 'Of course… Despite being a mama… I'm Kawaii as fuck…' said Mich as she walks away back to Viktor.Viktor stares at Hector as he continues to talk. Viktor goes away, trying to avoid Hector. 

 

 

Hector and approve sign. Hector was confused. They go away laughing. Gerard goes away. "Who are those? They look like Rex in a way…" said Michelle. "Well… They are my grand half uncles, Yes, they are twins too…I know… They are just as old as Papi Gerard, quite close too… The other one next to Grandpa Xavier… Oh! I forgot something, I must go to grandpa and tell Uncle Zach said hi…" said Hector. Gerard goes back to Michelle. 

 "Probably…" Mich goes to Michelle and guides her towards Eleanor. Eleanor waves at Gerard to come too. Gerard sighs. He's third cousin looks at him. "Are you our uncle?" asks one of them. "I'm your third cousin, Hector…" said Hector. They run away as Viktor starts to approach him. 

"So, how's… damn…" said Viktor. "If cannot force yourself to actually care… I would like silence between us…" said Hector. "It's actually not that…" said Viktor a he soften up.Hector sighs. "Look… Things have been hard for me lately… None of you two want to manage man Empire… Not even Bruce, not Even Lance… Don't every talk it on that gay one…It's just…I admit it's my fault being to hard on my grandkids… I'm just… I never had this when I was a kid…:" said Viktor.

"Grandpa… I never said I never wanted these.. It's just… I don't want you to treat as like disposable objects…" said Hector. He looks at Mich and Michelle and ask, "What are you brewing up with the Kastle Conglomerate?" asks Hector. He looks at Michelle. 

"So, Michelle… Elle and I agreed to change you from Holmes to Kastle… Michelle H. Kastle. Mitzu Era Kazeteru… No Longer Horamozu" said Mich. "That would sound weird… Why are you here?" asks Mich."Nah… I'm actually here to talk to Bryce… He's seem to be running late though." said Gerard."Maybe I'll crash in his. Your boyfriend is quite an eye catcher… He's more handsome than his dad… Oh… where is the older sister … is she away?" asks Mich.

 Eleanor and Gerard laughs. They look at each pointing and laughing like old couples and say, "No… That's the 'girl' you are talking about…" Mich seems to be confused. "Sorry, Hector was so pretty, everyone taught he was a girl when he was a child…" said Eleanor. Mich just froze.

 "Mama… He's the girl I kissed that night…" said Michelle. Mich seems to smile happily. "So… you two move from childhood sweethearts to real ones…" said Mich. "No… We are just best friends…" said Michelle. Xavier goes to them. "Gerard! Emergency!" said Xavier. They look serious while talking, Gerard takes his phone. "Gerard! I can take Hector if I need too! This is getting off hand!" said Xavier. "Xavier, I appreciate that, and I am capable on protecting my sons, please…" said Gerard.

"Gerard…You need my help!" replied Xavier. "If you want to help, just help Rex and Al…" said Gerard as he stops and say, "I'll say this to you Viktor…" said Gerard as he takes Eleanor and say, "FUCK YOU! VIKTOR! Let's go Hector. Michelle, we're ditching this party…" said Gerard as he tones down.

They go down to the parking lot. "Ugh! Xavier… Why did you just agreed with that Asshole!" said Gerard. "Wait… WHAT!" said Eleanor out of great shock. "Yes! This two are not really aware of the event! Even the Kazeteru Family is here…Now… he returned out of nowhere too… Damn… If this is true… I'll need to even heighten my alert…" said Gerard. "Oh gush! Thanks Honeybear! The party is be like… Eleanor, when will you get married this… get married that! So fucked up!" said Eleanor.
