Luke's pov

After the meeting, Nick left to carry on planning his mission and Dad left to talk with the spies. I stayed with Marc in his office as he was working his ass off.

I exited Cole's office, after studying for tomorrow's exam. I am a bit worried about Ron. He doesn't sound like himself. He was, I don't know, a bit depressed? He wasn't his cheerful self, maybe I should check on him. I walked to his office and knocked on the door

" Get in." He said

" Good evening sir."

" Good evening." He said as he looked at the papers in front of him," Anything serious?"

Well, something is certainly off with him.

" I just wanted to check on you, are you okay?"

" I am fine, thank you."

That's obviously a lie. How should I help him? I don't want to sound nosey or disrespectful while asking him many times

" Can I help you with work?"

Maybe if I help him he will talk after sometime.

" I don't want help. Why are you so annoying?" He asked as he glared at me

What the hell is wrong with him?

" I didn't mean to annoy you sir, I just let me help."

" Help with what exactly? You just keep butting in."

" I didn't intend to. Can I help you with those sheets?"

" Lucas, go play hide and seek and leave me alone."

" I won't leave till you tell me how I could help you. You are not fine. I don't want to leave you in this state."

" Ugh, what can you help with? The girl that I liked has a boyfriend."

" I-i am sorry to hear that."

Oh, that girl he had a crush on... Okay, everything makes sense now.

" I don't want your sorry. I feel like killing that guy."

" I understand you. But look at the bright side you got to know now before taking a step and getting rejected. Don't worry, you didn't lose anything, one day you will find your real love. The love that will accept you like you are." I tried to comfort him

He chuckled," Look at the kid here giving me some love lessons."

I just gave him an unamused look.

" Thank you for your words but now I don't feel like I am in the mood to process them."

" Can I now work with you?"

" You won't leave it? Okay, take, classify those." He gave me like a multi-million sheet

" Yes sir."

Taking his revenge! The bitch!

" Now, tell me how Heaven is." He asked

" She is fine." I smiled

" You are too little to join old people's meetings."

" I am eighteen, sir, do you know that?"

He is back to the regular Ron

" 18 year old little princess."

The insult! Finally! That's my Ron!

" 18 is an adult. And Marc allowed me to join anyway."

He just smirked," Who's Marc?"

" Marc sir, I mean sir."

I started questioning myself why I offered to help him with those sheets.

" Great, you better keep it that way or you know we can revise the rules."

" No need to, I remember them well sir." I need to watch my mouth so I don't give them space to annoy me with those rules

" Good, and who's your other brother?"

" Malik sir." I am doing my best right now to not roll my eyes at his nice question

" Great and your little brother?"

I blinked at him. Is he serious?

" Pete."

I won't call him sir... Never... On my dead body

" Wrong answer."

" Peter Ace, that's his name sir."

" Let's remember the rules about the boss' family and how we should address them."

I glared at him. I am from this family too.

" I remember but Peter is my younger brother."

Did Pete agree with him on doing that to me or what?

" At home... Not in the warehouse."

You know what if you read minds I just want to say fuck you

" So punishment?"

" No sir, but never did Malik sir or Marco sir tell me to call Peter anything.!So it's not necessary."

" Marco and Malik won't tell you but you have that written as rules so you have too. Take this, revise the rules while doing push-ups." He smirked

My eyes widened. No way I don't have the energy for that, " Let's make peace, sir."

" Ohh so late."

" Ron, is Luke here?" Landon barged in

Thank God. I looked at Lan desperately, sending him silent messages to get me out of here.

" He is."

" I'm taking him."

" He is here to help me." Ron protested

" Well, your work is your problem. We have something more important." Lan smirked

I love you, bro! I wouldn't have been able to take more of his jerkiness.

" Your prince charming, go with him, princess." He chuckled

" Let's go, bye Ron." Lan just shook his head

" Have a good day sir." I said before exiting the office with Lan

" How are you, bro?"

" I am fine, thank God, you saved me."

" Ron annoyed you? What were you doing there in the first place?"

" He didn't really look that well today so I went to check on him but I got stuck there for a bit."

" Great! Can we have dinner tomorrow? You, Heaven, Julie and I?"

" A double date that sounds cool I will ask heaven first." Also I need to take dad's or my brothers' permission

" Great then. I'll return to work, see ya."

" See ya." I smiled at him

He walked to his office and I decided to go home.

I entered the house. I have to feed the dogs as Pete asked. I don't know, they don't like me.

I grabbed the bag then went to the garden. Koda ran to me and jumped to greet me. This is so nice! I thought I won't ever experience this with any of them.

I laughed and said, caressing his fur," Hey, buddy. Are you hungry?"

He barked a yes as he wiggled his tale happily.

" Let's serve you the food then."

I walked to their house as he followed me. The puppies were there. They ran to greet me too. I liked it. Their mother was friendly. She didn't try to attack me when she saw me patting the puppies. Artimis was sitting on his spot, ignoring my presence. I shrugged and filled each dog's plate with the food. I sat next to the puppies enjoying their antics. Some of the dogs came and started having their food without giving me any bit of attention.

A Dog is a Person's Best Friend. There are thousands of animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some can be easily domesticated and are friendly; while others are naturally wild and savage.

Dogs are the best pets because they are friendly, are intelligent, can protect and detect dangers.

I know from experience that they are one of the friendliest animals any person or family can have. When my brothers, especially Marco and Pete, get home the dogs always welcome them. Sometimes when they are sad, they notice it, and they always try to cheer them up.

I got distracted by a loud growl from behind. I looked at the puppies' father. I rolled my eyes and said," Oh C'mon, join them and leave me."

He barked at me. All the dogs stopped eating and glanced at us. I am sure they will attack me t any moment

" Look, I am not harming them or your wife. I am just being nice."

He and the other older dogs barked at me.

" Why do you guys hate me so much? I am Peter's and Marco's brother after all."

Ugh, I never understood them.

" Here, eat some." I said to the father as I offered my hands full with food, " I won't harm any of you."

He looked a bit suspicious but ate from my hands. I smiled. Calmly and slowly, I tried to pat his head. He barked at me at the first time but in third he let me

" Good boy." I praised as I caressed his fur, " so can we be friends now?"

He licked my face. I laughed, " Well, I guess that's a yes."

All the other dogs turned to have their portions again but Artimis. He kept looking at me and showing me his tusks.

I approached him carefully and raised my hands to show him that I have nothing.

" Look, I am not a danger. I just want to be friends."

He growled at me.

" Do you think I am stealing Peter from you?"

He walked away, ignoring me even more.

" Okay, listen up, he is just my brother, both of us can have some time together."

He barked loudly. I guess he doesn't like that.

" We will share him, he will still be your Pete and my baby bro."

I grabbed his plate and approached him slowly. " Let's choose peace, can't we? You eat some of this delicious food here."

He started eating his food, giving me suspicious looks from time to time.

" Thanks for lowering your guard." I put my hand on his head in an attempt to pat him and he surprisingly let me. " Wow, I didn't expect that."

He barked softly as he wiggled his tail then put his paw up. I put my hand up and made it touch his paw.

" So friends now right?"

He replied to my question with a soft bark and gave me a High-five. I giggled. This is so sweet!

However, the most important trait a pet can have is the ability to protect their owner or detect potential dangers before they happen. Some detection dogs are commonly trained to sense the smell of illegal drugs, and help discover illegal activity going on. These dogs are important because they help protect the lives of children and adults from people who could be dangerous. Some dogs are trained to be medical detection dogs. These dogs are trained to detect changes in people with diseases such as diabetes, epilepsy, allergies, and etc.. The main condition a trained dog can detect is cancer.

Pets are amazing! This reminded me that I have to search for Carmel and feed him too.

After I fed all the pets in this household. I put their lashes on and took them on a walk.

After the walk, I left them to rest and I went into the house. No one is here. I felt lonely and bored here alone.

I took my phone and called Destiny, " Hey Dest?"

" Hey, bubba."

" How are you, beautiful?"

" I am okay, you?"

" I am good too, where are you?"

" I went with mom to her company."

" Ohh that's great. Have fun. See you."

" See ya."

I typed Pete's number and telephoned him.

" Hey spider!"

" Hey, what's up?"

" Great! I fed the dogs. How is your project going?"

" My project? Ohh yeah, great till now."

" How much is left till you finish it?"

" Numerous things."

" Maybe I can pick you up and help you with those things?"

" No, not now."

" When then?" I asked

" I have my car, I can return home by myself."

" Yeah right, I forgot but don't you think you would finish faster if I helped you."

" When I come home, you will help me."

" Pete, is something wrong?"

" No, why?"

" You just don't sound like yourself. Can't you just come home? I will help you with the project so you will finish quickly then we will have fun together. Maybe play for a bit and I will cook you whatever you want." I tried to bribe him

" Actually what's wrong with you? I am studying? Why do you want me to come home?"

" I want to help you, is that wrong?"

I want my baby brother home. What's wrong with that?

" No, but you don't seem like yourself."

" Look Peter, I want you home now. Enough studying for today. You better come or I will pick you up myself, is that clear?"

" So annoying! Don't be a jerk." He whined

I ignored him, " Will you come by yourself or should I come and get you myself?"

" Come and get me yourself... You don't know Mike's house. Have fun searching." He hung up on me

Does he think he won now? I opened my phone and detected his location. It's 20 min away from here.

Time skip™

I exited the car in a hurry when I saw Pete quarreling with another boy and before I approached them Peter punched him in the face.

The boy cried in pain, " Oww!"

He was about to jump on him and punch him again.

" Peter!" I shouted his name to grab his attention.

He looked at me and yelled," What?"

" Why did you do that?"

" It's not your business." He spat at me angrily

I don't have the energy to argue with him now. I said firmly, raising one eyebrow at him, " Peter get in the car now."

He looked at me like I killed his family. He was frustrated.

" Pete, why don't you calm down." Miles said as he held his arm

" Leave me alone, you too." He pushed him away

He stormed into my car and closed the door aggressively.

" Fuck!" Oliver flinched

I went to the boy who was helped to stand up by Scott

" Are you okay?" I asked

" I am, thank you." He said, as he put a napkin on his swollen lip

I looked at the others, " What happened exactly?"

He started yelling at me and hit me." The boy said

" What made him do that?" I am sure Pete isn't the person who will go hit people for no reason

" He attacked me."

" Go lie somewhere else or I'll carry what Pete started." Miles said

Mike pushed him," Go to your mama, hoe!"

" Boys, enough, leave him." I caught Miles and Mike before they kill the boy

He was frightened enough that he ran to his house.

" Can you tell me what happened?"

" Actually, we were in the house when Mike's little brother came and said that Pete is fighting." Scott answered

I heard a beep from my car. My little brother has no patience lately. He was glaring at my direction impatiently.

I sighed, " Okay, I will be going, bye."

" Bye!" They said

I went back to the car. He was visibly fuming with anger.

" Don't Fucking talk to me!" He said as he put his earbuds and looked out the window

What the hell is wrong with him? I will just ignore it for now. Let's talk about it at home. He will be calm enough by then.

Peter's pov

I went to Mike's house after school. He has a little brother named Milan who is 10 years old. He is cute and obedient as I see.

We sat in the garden, and started on the work. I grabbed my laptop and started searching for some videos to explain the topic well as Milo searched for pictures, while Oliver searched for the information. Scott and Mike will choose the slide and arrange the information.

Milan came after a while as he was holding a plate of cookies and 5 bottles of sodas under his armpits.

" Goodness, Milan, you should have called me." Mike said as he rushed to help him

" I didn't want to bother you." He said innocently

Goodness! Is it this cute to have little siblings?

" It's better than having you hurt, bud." Scott helped him too

They put everything on the table.

" Thank you, Milan." I said, smiling at him

" You're welcome." He smiled back

We carried on working. He stood beside the table looking at us.

" Do you want something?" Mike asked

" Can I go play with my friends out?" He asked, hopefully

" Yeah, take care, just an hour." Mike said nicely as he ruffled his hair

" Yey, thank you." He hugged Mike and ran outside

" He is so adorable." Miles said

" That he is. He is evil sometimes too." He sighed

We laughed.

Two hours later, we were in the middle of the work minus I was resting a bit. Luke called me and irritated me.

He wants me to go home. I don't know what the hell is going on with him when I am studying my ass off here. I hung up on him and immediately regretted it as I remembered that he can search my location and find me easily then can come and embarrass me here in front of my friends.

He thinks it's cool to pick me up like a baby.

I wrapped my things up, helped my friends a bit then told them that I have to go.

" Why?"

" My brother wants me home."

" Send me the progress on my email, I'll show it to Luke and he will help us."

" Yeah sure."

" Drive safe." Oliver said

I waved to them and went to my car which was parked in front of the house.

I was heading to my car when I was hit by a ball harshly.

I heard giggles. I shot them with a death glare.

" Pete, sorry." Milan said

While the one who hit me with the ball just smirked," Don't cry Peter! I don't want your brothers after my ass."

I looked up at that jerk. It's him! Franklin! The most annoying kid in the school.

He used to annoy the hell out of me by his stupid face and his nasty comments.

He tried to put me in trouble several times but I never fell for it. He is just a psychopath!

" No problem, Milan. Goodbye." I ruffled his hair

" Good bye." He smiled genuinely

I was about to walk on my way when that jerk hit me again with the ball.

" You won't cry?"

" You better stop or I'll make you cry." I threatened

" Just go." He huffed

I shook my head.

No need for troubles. I was about to open my car's door when I noticed a big scratch on the pattern

No, no, no, my baby!

The fuck!

This scratch wasn't here this morning.

" How dare you to touch my fucking car?" I made fast angry steps towards him and seethed

" Well, it's not my fault, you put it in my way."

" You son of bitch!" I grabbed him by his collar

" Pete, don't!" Milan said, shaking with fear

" Get inside!" I told him trying to act cool for the kid

He rushed into the house and in a few seconds all my friends were around me.

" Pete, what's going on?"

" Nothing, he just needs his mommy brother to wipe his tears!" He provoked me

And with that, I punched him hard on the face

I heard Luke's voice as he called my name," Peter!"

I put up a fuss then walked to his car.

The ride home was silent except for the music which I played. Luke didn't try to talk to me for once.

I got out of the car and slammed the door.

" Peter!" He scolded

" Fuck you!" I yelled and headed to the door

He followed me, grabbed my arm and pulled my earbuds," You better watch your attitude."

" And if I don't?" I yelled

" You asked for it." He dragged me inside

" Hey, leave me!"

His grip around my forearm hurt me.

" Yeah sure!" He pushed me to the wall," Face it, when you calm down, come out!"

Is he Fucking kidding me?

" Fuck no! Stop treating me like a 5 year old." I protested

" Stop acting like a 5 year old." He slapped my butt twice harshly," Stay there."

I stayed silent. It hurts a lot! When did he start to hit this harsh?

Jerk of brother!

I faced that horrible corner. It's just unfair. I didn't do anything. Franklin deserves what I did to him. My car, my baby, how dare he ruin it. Luke is just stupid like usual. Why does he even want me home? Can't I do my own things at peace without him butting in?

Ye, I was a bit rude to him on the phone but it wasn't a big deal and he should have minded his own business.

" Can I get out?" I asked

It's getting really boring! And embarrassing!

" Are you calm?" He raised his eyebrows at me

" Yes I am."

I'm calm enough to be out of the corner.

" Then come, have a seat."

" Okay." I said as I sat beside him

" What happened Pete? Why did you hit that boy?" He softly interrogated, rubbing my back

" He hit me with the ball twice, ruined my car and made fun of me." I elaborated

" What? Ruined your car, how?"

" He scratched my car with something, probably a nail, a key, I am not sure." I frowned

" That's bad! And how he made fun of you?"

" He kept telling me to go cry to my mommy brother." I mumbled

" And why not?" He chuckled," Come to your mommy brother." He opened his arms to me

" You are a big jerk." I said as I hugged him

I know that it's kinda childish but after this horrible corner I need a hug from my big brother

" He has no mommy brother to
