Chapter 275: Box dye P.O.S.
Eventually, Kellen’s Mother did exit the room looking thoroughly chastised, and relatively calm. Kellen wondered what his Dad had said, but at the same time, preferred to never know. Some things were better left in the dark.
She closed the door behind her, her eyes closed for a long moment before she sighed, opened them, and looked around at the people waiting there for her.
"I won’t do anything rash." She finally said, and Kellen felt his whole body relax.
"Really? You mean it?" He asked, insistent and she chuckled.
"Wow. I’ve really damaged my reputation if this is how my son is behaving. Yes, Kellen, I’m not going to charge in. At least not until we have all the information, and I’m not hurting what you are planning to do. Your Dad was quite upset with me that I wasn’t being considerate of you children. I hope you’ll forgive me for my behaviour." She said, bowing her head slightly. Kellen went to move, but Gwen beat him, hugging her Mom tightly in her arms.
"Oh shut up." Gwen muttered. "I get it, I do, and I’m sure Kellen does too. We were just worried you’d do something stupid. I’m still a baby in the grand scheme of things and trying to track down someone like you would take all of my brain power." Gwen told her and their Mom laughed.
"Right. Of course. They would have to send you out to find me, wouldn’t they?" She said, a bit of a smile in her voice as she looked over her daughter. "Ugh. I can’t believe I forgot that. I can’t be putting both of you in trouble." She muttered worriedly and Kellen chuckled, his grip on his cane tight.
"Then think about your actions some more, would you? Dad’s awake now, and like those fuckers said, they aren’t going to stop. You’ll need to be around him 24/7 until we clear them out of town." Kellen’s Mom smiled at her son, her eyes still purple.
"You sound so sure that you’re going to clear them out Kellen. You need to remember, they’re in every city across the world pretty much. What do you think makes us so different?" She asked and Kellen smirked.
