*T3 had hit at Tak and his ear flicking before he had gotten to embarrassed to talk* I know what it is *He swiped at Keely's hand too, ears still on fire* Scare me some more bitch *He snapped at her, rolling his eyes before sticking his tongue out at JuJu* Nope disowned. First the hair then this....*He slowed his speech realizing what he had just said. He waved it off before looking at Binx* Oh yeah, defiantly an army. Called my Mom on the way over and she says if you need ANYTHING to let us know. *He grinned at the other kid* You know she makes a mean casserole.

[Keely]

I'll scare you all I want snowflake. *Keely called over her shoulder as Tak and her left as Tak closed the door, Keely thought got the feeling something was coming. WHen he said they needed to talk, she knew it was serious.* Uh oh....I dont need the talk...I've had it..twice. *She shivered at the memory of Uncle Vinny's talk. She knew this was probably not a talk, but she couldn't help the comment.*

[JuJu]

Thank you. *Juju said as she set to opening up the bag of chips. As Stella joined her she gave her a smile.* I dont know....it wont be anymore donuts. You gotta eat a sandwich if you want somethig else. *The mom side of Juju kicked in as she wanted the get to have more than donuts. At T3's comment Juju never missed a beat as she said.* Don't get mad at me cause I do damn good work. It is your own fault you decided to match the carpet to the drapes. *She shot him a 'you're welcome smile.*

[Binx]

*Seeing his chance, as Stella walked away, Binx quickly held the donut to Inline, trying to give her the cue to get rid of the donut.* Tell her thank you and she doesnt have to go through the trouble....although.....her casoroles are amazing....*Binx said with a tried smile.*

[Zane]

*Zane just smiled at all of them. They were definitly a trip to be around. Nothing like he was used to. He cocked an eyebrow at JuJu's comment.* Carpets...and drapes....? *Then it clicked in his mind and he openingly laughed.

[Tak]

More serious *Tak had turned sober as they walked. He stopped in front of the vending machines, turning to look at her* This stays between us. *Amber eyes almost glowed as he looked at the girl* Someone got to Klayton's Dad. He doesn't even know yet. *He watched her for a reaction, not outright blaming her but letting her know he knew at the same time*

[Stella]

*Stella gave JuJu a big baby pout, blinking up at her with puppy dog eyes* But t'ats my favorite *It didn't matter if it was or not* Mama pease

[Inline]

*Inline grabbed the donut from Binx and 'hid' it on her lap, stealing bites every so often to get rid of the evidence. She smiled at him* Close your eyes goof. You sound tired. *She leaned over and kissed his cheek* We'll be here when you wake up. *Half an ear heard T3 and Zane* What? Not that I'm interested in T3's junk but what happened?!

[TTT]

Got it I'll tell her Casserole! *T3 smiled at the kid. Then he heard JuJu and groaned* Why, why, why? *He rubbed his face only groaning again at Inline* I'm finding new friends! *He spit out then reached up and tried to hush Zane by playfully covering his mouth* You shut up. You will only make it worse. Anybody tells Keely and I will personally kill them!

[Keely]

Damn. *She said as he watched Tak. There was no look of surprise on her face as he spoke about Binx's dad. The wolf could probably even see the cold look that flashed in her eyes. It wasnt a look that he would have seen hardly.* I hear karama's a bitch. *Her voice was just as cold as the look she had had in her eyes.*

[JuJu]

Save the puppy eyes, half pint. I'm not gonna have you having a stomachache. *Juju said fixing a sandwich for Stella. She held firm as she held it out to her baby.* This or nothing, including the chocolate milk, if you don't eat this. *JuJu was in full mom mode where no please or puppy eyes would work.*

[Binx]

*Binx was glad as Inline caught on.*Thank you. Im really gratful to you. *He said softly as he gave her a warm smile.* I know you will. *He closed his eyes and began to slip off to sleep.He opened them as T3 made his threat.* I can tell her, you cant hurt me. Im already hurt. *Binx said with a grin.*

[Tak]

Karma's a bitch but blame is worse. *Tak's voice deepened and graveled. He hated that a kid of his needed to be so cold at such a young age but he hated that he was about to ask her to do more* They are trying to pin it on JuJu because no one saw a thing. Someone needs to see something, I don't give a damn who. If she goes to jail at least two of the cops on the take are gone *Keely's cold eyes clashed with his burning ones. She may have been able to kill but she wasn't the predator looking back at her just then. It was the first time she had ever seen him so close to changing, so wild*

[Zane]

*Zane started to say something to Inline but was cut short as T3 covered his mouth. He chuckled as he did. He knew it would make his boyfriend even more embareassed to know what he was gonna say.*

[Inline]

*Stella pouted, even more, tears appearing in her eyes as she was denied her chips again* But Mama *Whens he was handed the sandwich she hmphed, sitting down on the chair with a plop before she began to unhappily eat the food. Even she knew better than to go against JuJu when it came to food. Every couple of bites she would up at JuJu to see if it was enough to get Chips*

No problem, I can eat for you baby *Inline teased quietly, winking at him. She giggled at T3 and Zane* He's got a point, no killing the injured.

[TTT]

*T3 smiled at his boyfriend before sticking his tongue out at Inline, still covering Zane's mouth* No details for you! *At Binx he narrowed his eyes* I'll poke you in the side, don't think I won't *A devious look came over his face, one that reminded everyone of a little mobster* And have other ways of getting back. They sell Monster right around the corner *He grinned evilly. Stella had stolen T3's monster half a year before and lost her mind, creating the permanent ban on energy drinks around the gym*

[Keely]

*As Tak spoke Keely let out a sigh, and pinched the bridge of her nose. She was going to kill Lorenzo. She knew she should have seen to this herself.* //Those dumbasses.// *She looked at Tak again and was a bit taken back by, but she never left mobster mode. This was business and she couldn't help how her temperment was trained when talking business.* I see you and I'll take care of it...*She stopped a minute and thought. Pulling out her phone she held it out to Tak.* You got to cover for me. *She went on to explain.* If I don't go now,T3 won't let me leave, or he'll call Nate.

[JuJu]

*JuJu didn't give Stella and inch. She's take a mile. Juju was chill about a lot of things, but somethings she would not let Stella be spoiled on. She found a mini bag of cheetos and opened them, before putting them down infront of Stella.* Cheetos, no donuts. Dad will bring your chocolate milk soon. *JuJu's eyes flashed to T3, then.* Do it and you'll be permanently bawled, Snowball. *He wuld know she would and could make good on that threat.*

[Binx]

*Binx gave Inline a small nod as she said shed eat it for him. He snorted as Mama Juju made her threat.* SO wouldn't test that one. *He closed his eyes and thought on JuJu's dad comment. He liked her saying it. He hadn't told Stella yet that they would be moving in with Tak. He had always thought of Tak as a father to him and Stella, but now it would be offical and they wouldn't have to see their real father again. Binx slipped off to sleep with that happy thought.*

[Zane]

*Zane gave T3 a wink as he smiled at him, still not saying anything. He just watched them, mainly as his boyfriend still had his mouth covered.*

[Tak]

*Tak nodded taking her phone as he stood up fully, having bent down to look her straight in the eyes* I'll leave it to you. I don't condone what you did and I don't like asking you for more but I can't have JuJu going to jail for something she stopped herself from doing *He let her fill in the blanks. Keely wasn't the only one who could take care of things and just know he felt like she needed to know it* I'll cover, Brother needed some advice at the Deli right?

[Stella]

Okay! *Stella said happily, coming out of the pout as easily as she went in. She grabbed a Cheeto and munched down, much happier now*

[TTT]

Momma I'll take it because that's still better than Keely ever finding out *T3 puffed up a little, pushing out his chest as he spoke* You know how bad she is normally. If she gets that kind of ammunition my life is fucking over *The boy just caught his boyfriend's wink and a smile bloomed on his face. He moved his hands away only to law a sweet kiss on his lips instead*

[Inline]

T3 *Inline warned, not coming close to JuJu's scare factor. She glanced at Binx and smiled as he fell asleep*

[Keely]

Yeah...I get that a lot. *She snorted.* What can I say, cant help it. Nobody fucks with whats mine. *The girl's temper shifted some as she then gave Tak a sad smile.* T3 still won't believe you. * She started to turn to leave but stopped.* Leave out the deli bit. I'll be back tonight. *Keely walked away with that. Shoving her hands into her pockets.
