	Chapter Seven: ...And the Days Go By As The Night Grow Long
			      By: Caden Gaige



I killed...Izzy. Dad choked out. I killed him.

A cold hard sober reality hit us head on like a ton of bricks. A young boy,
my best friend had lost his life. We would never get to see him again. The
only upside was that he was now with Maru now in Heaven, a place I would
never see. His blood was on my hands.

It's not your fault, dad. I said. Its mine, I'm the reason he's dead.

He's not dead, very close, but not close enough. A man said from outside
the front door as he stepped inside. He'll be just fine in a month or so.

Who are you? Mac questioned.

Agent Daxter Zahn. The man said as he whipped out his badge. You can call
me Dax.

Why are the feds involved with Izzy? Mac questioned. Did the boy do
something wrong.

He saved my life once. Dax said. Plus he developed special software that my
organization uses.

Will he remember us? I asked.

He will remember everything. Dax said. Don't worry he's the most caring and
forgiving person I know.

How could he... Kyle sadly choked. Why would he ever forgive us?

Do you think it was fate that Maru adopted him? Dax said. He chose her for
a very special reason.

Do you know what that reason was? Lani asked.

He never really told me, but I think it has something to do with his
biological family.  Dax said. She may have been his biological mother or
maybe he found his twin. I really don't know.

Could you ask him for us? Kyle asked. Also could you check into my
adoption, I'd like to know if my brothers are still out there and if they
want anything to do with me.

Only because you've been there for Izzy. Dax said with a smile. If it
wasn't for you guys he would more than likely be dead right now.

He almost was. I sadly said. Because of me and my family.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I know what's been going on. Dax said. Izzy
stays in contact with me almost weekly, for some reason he likes to think
of me as his grandfather.

Do you have any grandchildren? I asked.

Yes, I have two that were given up for adoption and three that are still
living with my daughter and one that passed away.

Did you get to know the two that were adopted? Kyle asked.

Only for a few years of there lives. He sadly said. I wash I could've been
forever, but Tara was still a teenager and I was a federal agent, not the
best combination for a healthy lifestyle suited for children.

Agent Zahn we have to go. A man said from the doorway.

I'll contact you later and let you know how Izzy is doing. Dax said before
he turned and left.

* * * * *

An hour later everyone left.

So what do we do now? Kyle asked.

Why don't we log on to the net? I said with a smile as I headed for the
stairs.

I know a site we can check out. Kyle said. A friend said that there's a
site called Nifty with a lot of stories on it.

We checked all the recent stories and some were okay, but not really
anything to stick with. Kyle had lost interest until I decided to check out
some of the older ones and got the shock of a lifetime.

The Izzy and Ozzy Chronicles. I blurted out as clicked on the story and saw
Izzy's name listed as the writer, Kyle shot forward and stared at the
monitor as I read the story.

>From start to finish the story had our attention. It was one of the best
stories I've ever read.

Unfucking believable! He wrote a story about us. Kyle said. He's great with
fiction.

Only ten percent is fiction. I said still slightly floored by what I had
just read. The rest is true.

Maybe we should write our own story and post it. Kyle suggested.

Only if we write about what happened in the hospital. I said with devilish
grin.

That reminds me. Kyle said with a smirk. I still need to eat.

Don't mean drink someone! I devilishly said I unzipped my jeans to expose
half boned cock.

I'll write while you get something to drink. I said. And remember we're in
Izzy's bedroom and you have to clean up after yourself.

Better yet why don't we both have a little snack! He said with a grin. And
then write about it and the hospital.

"The Adventures of Kyle and Ozzy". I said with a smirk as I typed a title
on the computer screen. "Chapter One: Brothers, Nurses and Doctors at
Play!"

That's bad, really bad. Kyle joked. Maybe we should find out the names of
the doctor and the nurse.

Later, right now we have other things to do! I said as I stood up and
stripped off my clothing, while Kyle did the same.

As he was finishing undressing I reached over and started stroking his
fully bone meat and he moaned with every stroke.

AAAAHHHHHhhh! He gasped as his knees shook while I feverishly pumped away
at his cock.  Faster...faster... I'm coming! AAAAHHHHHhhh!

His knees gave out and he fell to the floor gasping for breath with a look
of heavenly bliss on his face. It was two or three minutes before he said a
word.

What did you do? Kyle questioned. I came so damn fast it was so awesome.

Nothing, I just jacked you off like before. I said. Maybe standing up makes
you come faster and better, or you were to in the zone.

Well, you did put me into a zone I've never been to before. Kyle said with
a smile. I hope you can do it again next time.

Now how about you do the same for me! I said as I reached down and grabbed
my erection.  What the hell, I cam and nobody even touched my dick, that's
not fare.

How can you just cum and not have someone at least touch you? Kyle
said. Maybe we should check it out on the net. We might find some other
stuff we can try as well.

We roamed for two and a half hours and found a lot valuable information and
lot more stuff and places we could try to have sex in.

* * * * *

Boys, come down and get your stuff. Dad yelled from the bottom of the
stairs.

We quickly wiped ourselves off and dressed and went downstairs to gather
our things.

Ozzy, for now you will stay here with Kyle until the end of the summer and
then we'll decide where you stay after that. Dad said. Your mother's in
agreement.

It doesn't matter what either of you think. I said matter-of-factly. Both
you and mom have demonstrated that you can't take care of Kyle or me, so
Mac has emancipated us.

That'll only be temporary for both of you. He said in return. And then
you'll both be home where you belong.

Maybe Ozzy will be there with you two, but I will be here. Kyle said. As
long as I'm not wanted by her I will not be around her.

She'll get better, I'll make sure of that. Dad said in slightly unsure
tone. We've just got to give it a little time.

We'll see. Kyle said as he looked dad in the eyes and extended his hand so
they could shake on the deal.

I'm not going to lose you, either of you. Dad said as he shook hands. I'll
let her go before that happens.

Can you? I sadly questioned. You've had her longer and loved her more.

If it comes right down to it, then yes I can kick her to the curb. Dad said
with tears filling his eyes. You two boys are the reason I am trying to
snap her back into reality.

Even if we get her back, dad do you think she'll at least try to be nice to
Izzy when he comes home and remembers everything. Kyle asked.

I hope so for all our sakes. Dad said. Especially for Izzy, he was for lack
of a better way of putting it; our son and much you two were sons of Maru.

Then we were a real family? I questioned. But why did we go all savage on
Izzy, mom and I hurt him and you and Kyle nearly...

Don't finish saying it. Kyle pleaded.

Should we go see a shrink? I asked with out thinking. So we don't hurt him
again.

That's a great idea. Dad shot back. I'll see if I can find someone good in
the phonebook.

What about asking Turner or Mac? Kyle said. They should know who the good
ones are.

We can check with them tomorrow. Dad said with a smile. Right now I've got
to get back over to your mother.

Dad then left and Kyle and I grabbed our stuff and headed for the guest
bedroom to put our things up. It didn't take long, so we went back to
Izzy's room and typed up our story, it took us almost two-hours write the
three pages, but it was still a great story. Maybe we'll add more as we
explore life.

* * * * *

So what do we do now? Kyle asked. This is the first time either of us has
technically been on our own.

I know, it feels kinda strange. I said.

Especially now that we don't have to answer to mom and dad for anything and
everything.  Kyle said.

At least as far as you're concerned. I said. Remember I still have to
answer to you cause you're my kinda like my new dad.

Never thought about that. Kyle said with a smirk. I guess I am your new dad
in way, so I can tell you when to go to bed and you have to do it or
else...

Or else you'll what... I said devilishly. Spank me and send me to bed
without a midnight snack.

Snack. It's way bigger than a snack. Kyle shat back.

Not by much. I said with a grin. And dad's probably tastes better anyway.

Kyle then tried to tackle me for my last comment but missed as I ducked to
the right and was able jump on his back.

Giddy up horse. I said as I smacked him lightly on the ass. Or I'll poke
you with my hot branding iron.

A hot poke that sounds good. He said throwing me to the ground and mounting
me from the front. You wanna try!!!

Only if I get to do you after you do me. I said.

Okay! He somewhat choked. Let's go find some hand cream and take quick
showers.

We both raced upstairs and headed for the shower and mentally agreed to
jump in and cleanup together. It was hard for both of us wash our bodies as
we were both super boned at the thought of what was about to happen, it
would be wonderful, something magical to remember for the rest of our
lives.

* * * * *

As I leaned forward to climb on the bed Kyle stopped me.

Stay just like that. He said as he leaned forward and spread my cheeks
apart. I wanna try something else.

He then licked at my hole, it felt hot, wet and wonderful. I didn't care if
he ever stopped.

That feels... I tried to say while he was driving me over the top and into
heavenly bliss. Sooooo AAAAARRRRRHHHHHH...

I shot the most intense load I ever had shot as I collapsed on the bed.
 
That's twice now; you've been a bad boy. Kyle said devilishly. A very bad
boy I'm going to have to punish you!

And he did just that as he started licking at my hole again and then
reached between my legs and pulled my cock and balls from under me so he
could lick and suck on them as well. I was pure torture. I was so weak and
helpless to resist, all I could do was moan and groan in bliss while my
brother pleasured me.

After ten minutes he stopped and helped me into bed and climbed right up
beside me as I looked deep into his soul. I knew what true love was now and
I knew I could never let him down for any reason. He touched me like Heaven
kissing the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

Kyle, I love you. I breathlessly said.

I love you too. He said in return.

No really I LOVE YOU. I said to him. Truly, with all my heart.

I know what you mean. He said with a smile. I feel the same way.

Are we lovers? I questioned.

Are you in love with me? He questioned me back. Or do you just love me?

I don't think I'm in love with you, but I love you more than just what
normal brother's have for each other. I said.

What we have is special and always will be. Kyle said. We read about this
on the net, remember.

Yeah, but I don't wanna be fuck buddies. I said. I wanna just be like we
were a few minutes ago.

No, we'll never be fuck buddies. He said with a smile. Because we make love
to each other.

So then we're lovers that aren't in love with each other. I said. We just
love each other.

You don't have to be in love to love each other as brothers or lovers. A
voice said.

We both jumped out of our skin with fright and horror. Someone had walked
in on our conversation and probably had just watched us making love.

Why do you look so mortified? The voice said. You both were talking from
the soul and sharing your hearts with each other.

For some strange reason we both felt comfortable with this person, a
complete stranger.  It was almost as if we knew this person, but we didn't.

Would it help you both if I stopped using mind speak. The voice said.

Mind speak. I said. Are you a ninja?

Let's just say I am a human, an old man. He said as he came into physical
form. I'm here to help guide you for a while at least until your friend
comes home.

His name is Izzy. I sadly said. And I've hurt him badly.

Not to worry. He wisely said matter-of-factly in a loving tone. Ozzy, you
and Kyle are in his life now and he is in yours.

How can we be in his life after what we did? Kyle sadly questioned.

Do you remember the first time you three boys ever met? He questioned.

Maru had just driven up next door. I said as I recalled the events of that
day. Mom and dad were so happy they basically ripped her outta the car.

What about you, Kyle? He questioned.

He looked so sad, like he was never shown love before. Kyle said. We all
quickly became one big happy family within a few days.

That's not the first time you met. He said to our surprise and shock. Nor
was it the second time.

But... Kyle started to say but was interupted.

You first met him as a baby. You did the usual teasing and torturing kids
do like tickling the helpless baby boy up until he turned two. He said. You
enjoyed having him around, he misses that side you so deeply, Kyle. Though
he doesn't quiet remember that time in his life he often has flashes of it
and he somewhat remembers your face.

Why don't I remember him? Kyle sadly said.

Because you were a young child at the time and moved on with your life. He
said. You found happiness with a new family.

When was the first time I met him? I blurted.

The two you fought like cats and dogs, but always made up in the end. He
said. By the time you met him this last time things were very different for
both of you.

How could I fight with him and not know about it? I questioned.

Because you were and still are so much alike. He answered in return.

Do you know why he didn't tell us he was adopted? I asked.

Do you both remember the way you looked at me when you found out I was
adopted as I held my mother's hand for the last time. Izzy said as his
astral self appeared. I do and both of you have looked at me differently
from that day forward, like I was someone that you felt sorry for and not
the person you knew of as a friend.

What do you mean, Izzy? Kyle asked.

You both look at him like he's someone who needs your pitty. The man said.

We don't mean too. I said sadly.

Then don't look at me that way. Izzy said. You don't look at Kyle that way.

How do you know I was adopted? Kyle questioned.

I remember that day Pepper took you away. Izzy sadly recounted. It tore me
apart then and still gives me nightmares that it will happen again.

Izzy you need to heal your body. The man said. You should go rest now.

But, Kyle and Ozzy need me. Izzy said. That is why I'm here.

I know you can feel their need for you to be with them, but now is not the
best time for you. The man said. You being here will only weaken you faster
and cause you to be in recovery longer.

He's right, Izzy. I said. We do need you here with us, but you have to get
well before we can be together.

Not true Ozzy. The man said. He can return in three days when he has enough
energy to astral project without weakening his physical body and he knows
that.

I'll go for now. Izzy said. But you have to help them for the next few
days.

You know I will, Izzy. The man said with a smile as Izzy faded from
sight. Always.

Are you a spirit guide? Kyle questioned.

Not really, but I am here to guide you and yes I'm in spirit form. The man
said. So I guess for now I kinda am.

Cool, we have a spirit guide. I said with a smile.

Everyone has spirit guides. He said.

What's is your name? Kyle asked.

No can do. He said. As a spirit guide I can't reveal my name to just
anyone.

Fine then we'll call you, SG. I happily said. It's short for...

Spirit guide. He interrupted. I like it, that's a great name for me, for
now.

How long have you known Izzy? I asked.

For sixty-eight years now and it been a long hard journey for him. SG
said. With and without you two they're by his side.

Is that why you're here? Kyle asked. So we don't royally screw things up
with Izzy.

I am here to help guide you to a better understanding of how Izzy is and
who he is and what he means to you. SG said. And more importantly what you
mean to him.

So if you help us enough then we'll alter the future? I asked already
knowing the answer.

Yes, you will alter the future and Izzy may live longer than his
sixty-eighth birthday.  SG said sadly but matter-of-factly. Hopefully he
will hold out for the next week and see that next birthday.

Did one us of hurt him again? Kyle questioned.

It was someone you both will know very well at the time. SG said with
sadness in his voice.

It's still because of us isn't it? I said knowing full well what the answer
would be.

Yes, it started because of something you two did. SG sadly said. But you
didn't pull the trig...

SG vanished before he finish his last statement, but Kyle and I both knew
what he was going say and that left us speechless until we both somewhat
fell asleep tossing and turning. It was rough knowing that if we didn't
change things Izzy he would be shot because of something we did in the
future.

* * * * *

Come on boys it's 10:30 in the morning. Time to get up. Dad said as he
opened the bedroom door and popped his head inside. We're going shopping,
you'll need food and a few other things.

We'll be down in a minute or so. I said as he shut the door.

You eat in ten and we leave in twenty. He said loudly as he walked
downstairs.

Let's get this over with so we can come back here and crash out. Kyle said.

Sounds good to me. I said hoping that that's exactly what would happen.

We quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. Dad had already had breakfast
fixed so we quickly ate and piled into the car.

What's eating at you two? Dad questioned. You're never this quiet at home.

We just miss Izzy. I sadly somewhat lied.

How do we tell him we're sorry? Kyle half said under his breath, probably
to no one as much as himself.

I don't know. Dad sadly said while thinking on the matter. I'm not sure if
I was in his shoes that I could be as forgiving as we've been told he is.

What if we find his family for him? I blurted without really thinking. He
can't hate us then, can he?

Let's hope not, son. Dad said. Let's hope not.

For the rest of the trip we all remained in deep thought and silence. Our
shopping trip went well we managed to get every on the lists that dad had
made and still had money left over. I think we did very well for being a
couple of kids. Dad didn't even have to help us at all except for providing
us with the money and the car ride.
 
Dad then took us home and helped us quickly put everything away, and then
it was back into the car and off again. This time around we needed to get a
few clothing items and a few personal care items. It was a fast shopping
trip.

* * * * *

All right you two go get your stuff put away and I'll pick you up in an
hour, were eating lunch as a family with your mother. Dad said as he
dropped us off at the front door with our stuff.

I looked over at Kyle and could tell like me he was pretty much half past
dead and just wanted to crash out in bed until sometime late tonight.

Lunch went well I guess we didn't say a single word except to place our
orders and mom acted as if we weren't even there and dad just sat and let
her have her way. Afterward dad dropped us off he and mom headed to her
therapy appointment.

* * * * *

I'm glad I'm gay. Kyle said with a smile. I'll never be pussy whipped like
that.

But it could happen to me. I questioned. I'm bi how can I stop from being
pussy whipped like dad?

I don't know. My brother said in return.

* * * * *

RING... RING... RING...

* * * * *

Hello. Kyle said in the receiver.

Kyle, this is Agent Zahn. Dax said as my brother put the phone in speaker.

You're on speaker, Dax. Kyle said. How is Izzy?

He's doing fine. Dax said with a little hesitation in his voice. But he
keeps calling out for his brothers.

So he did find them? I asked.

Has he said who they are? Kyle added.

That's the problem; he allowed us to put him under two our heaviest truth
scrims and neither of them worked on him. Dax said with puzzlement in his
voice. Those work on everyone. So who ever his brothers are he either
doesn't know their identities or he is protecting them from someone, maybe
even himself.

Why would he have to protect them from himself? I asked.

I don't know? Dax sadly said. I'm looking into the matter.

Can we talk to Izzy for a few minutes? I asked hoping he'd say yes.

He needs his rest but I think that a few minutes wouldn't hurt
anything. Dax said as he handed the phone to Izzy.

When do you think you'll be coming home? Kyle asked.

As soon as they let me, I'll be outta here. Izzy said in a very weakened
voice. Can one of you tell Mason that I'm sorry I hurt him the way I did
and that I'm sorry for hurting both of you also and that I don't deserve to
be forgiven.

Izzy, we're the ones that hurt you. I sadly said. it's you that needs to
forgive us.

You wouldn't say that if you knew what I did. Izzy said as he began to cry.

What ever you did isn't as bad as what we did. Kyle said. So forget about
so we can all be friends again.

When did we stop being friends? Izzy weakly questioned.

Hey guys he fading fast. Dax said as he spoke into the receiver. He eyes
just rolled back into his head. Talk to ya later.

Bye. Kyle and I both said at the same time.

Should we check his computer later and see if we can find out if he knows
who his brothers are? I asked Kyle.

After we get some sleep. Kyle said with a grim.

I'll take the bed you can have the floor. I said as I took off for our
bedroom.

We both got to the door at the same time and tried to push our way past
each other. We made it through and both collapsed on the bed pretending to
be asleep. In hope the the other one would close the door but our bodies
had other plans and we both fall asleep before the door was closed and we
were under the covers.

* * * * *

Now that almost looks sweet. SG said as he appeared beside my friends.

It looks very uncomfortable to me. I said in return.

What are you doing here? SG asked. You're not supposed to be here until
tomorrow.

It's Izzy... I mean me... My physical body wont listen to me what should I
do? I said.

What do you mean? SG asked.

My physical body knows where my brothers are all five of them. I sadly
said. I need them why won't he at least tell me where my twin is, I know I
have an identical twin.

You have an identical twin! Ozzy said from behind.

Yes and he won't tell me. I said.

Izzy would it be alright if we check your computer and see if anything is
on it before you physically get back here. Kyle asked.

If you do you'll have to be very careful of the hard drive will
self-destruct. SG said.

So we can retrieve any information from the hard drive after it finishes
erasing. Kyle said matter-of-factly.

No, the room will explode and the secret service will be alerted. I
said. You'll both be placed under arrest and charged with high treason.

Izzy, you know who I am. SG said. Don't you.

Yes, I can see your eyes and soul and I do know who you really are. I said.

I need both of you right now before I die. A voice said as a spirit
appeared before us.

* * * * *

Izzy how can you project... I said without finishing before they all
vanished.

We gotta do something. Kyle said.

Let's log on and leave a message on the secret services web site and see if
they can get Dax to contact us.

* * * * *

We left a quick message.

  Agent Daxter Zahn.

    We need you to get in contact with us. It's about Izzy he's in
trouble. Please
  contact us. Something is wrong with the surgery.

          Kyle and Ozzy.


No sooner did we fire it off than the phone rang.

This is Agent Nero with the Secret Service do you know that you can't just
leave a message like that without it being traced and getting into big
trouble.

We don't know what branch Agent Zahn is with but he's protecting our friend
Izzy Nico, he developed some software you use. Just tell him Izzy's in
trouble and to call us.

What dose Agent Zahn look like. He asked.

We gave him a good description.

I know who you talking about and I'll see that he gets your message and if
you ever need to contact him again just leave me a message at the email
address I'm sending both of you.

We will and thanks very much Agent Nero. Kyle said.

The line then went dead. It was kind creepy just like you see in all those
spy movies.

Let's get something to drink while we wait for Dax to call us back. I said
and then headed downstairs.

After we got our drinks and put a couple of pizzas in the oven he went into
the living room and watched TV.

The buzzer in the stove went off thirty minutes later and we refilled our
drinks and took our pizzas outta the oven and headed back to the living
room and in front of the TV.

It was another long night for both of us, this time we just stayed in front
of the TV.  Neither one of us really watched the TV but I don't think that
we would have been able to do much of anything else.

It's 3:45 in the morning I gotta get some sleep. I said as I stood up. I'm
gonna go see if Izzy has any sleeping pills in the medicine cabinet.

Sounds good to me. Kyle added.

We shut everything down and went upstairs and found some sleeping pills and
each took only one because we needed to be wide-awake if Dax called.

We crashed big time. It was the best sleep either of us had had in several
days, if not the whole month.

* * * * *

Time to wake up. A voice said as someone sat on the bed in-between Kyle's
feet and mine.  We gotta have a talk.

Okay, okay. Kyle said from his sleepy haze.

How late did you two stay up last night?  The unknown teenager asked.

Pretty late. We both said in unison as we wiped the sleep from our eyes.

We both then got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to take our morning
piss.

Nice ass, I used to have one just like it. The unknown teenager said. But
things happen.

What happened? I questioned.

Between the fire and one of my younger brothers, I kinda lost a lot. The
unknown teenager said.

How many brothers do you have? Kyle asked.

I have eight all together. The unknown teenager said. The loving and caring
three are half brothers from my father's side of the family and the
coldhearted five are full brothers from my mother's side of the family.

Are you one of Izzy's friends? I asked.

We're very close. I've known him for years and hope to continue knowing him
for many more. I am his friend most of the time, but there are times when I
am his mortal enemy.  The unknown teenager said. I guess you will figure
out more about me as time goes on.

You are Izzy. I said matter-of-factly. You have his eyes.

You are very wise Ozzy; it's ashamed that you don't see me for what I
really am. Izzy said. Maybe one day before it's too late you'll come around
and see the light and learn to trust me.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Kyle demanded.

The same goes for you also. Izzy said. One day you'll understand why I hurt
you so badly and maybe you can at least halfway forgive me.

What did you do? I demanded to know.

I kept you away from your brother to protect you. Izzy sadly said. But by
doing so I caused all of you to lose a mother and friend.

Izzy, are you our brother? I questioned.

When you decide that I am a brother than yes, but most of the time I'm just
an outsider.  Izzy said as he vanished. Nobody important.

Do we really treat him like a brother sometimes and then like nobody
important the rest of the time. Kyle sadly questioned.

For the most part, yes you both treat him like a brother half of the
time. SG said as he appeared at our side. The rest of the time you push, no
you shove him away faster than you would if he were a stranger with in
incurable rash all over his body.

Why dose he keep coming back to us than? I asked.

You are the only connection he has to his past and to his future right
now. SG said. Both of you and Mason are the only family the poor boy has
access to right now.

But he knows where his twin is. I blurted. He has a family, they need him
and he needs them.

And so do you, but yet you still do not see your family as a whole unit. SG
said with frustration growing in his voice. You only see with your eyes and
not your soul.

So we should adopt Izzy like I was adopted. Kyle said in a smart assed tone
of voice.

For your information little boy, your brother beside you was adopted also,
but you were lucky to be reunited with each other. SG said with rage in his
voice.

I was... I choked. Adopted.

And as for you you'll be lucky if you ever find another soul mate like
Izzy, you pathetic piece of shit... SG said while glaring at me as he
vanished into thin air.

A stone cold bone chill hit us, as the room filled with the sounds of what
could have been three or more heart monitors flat lining simultaneously. I
was numb and now partially understood why we kept treating Izzy the way we
did and I could see the Kyle understood now too. We needed to find out how
could we change enough to not hurt him again.

* * * * *

The days flew by fast with dad keeping us busy and or us finding jobs to do
around the neighborhood, the nights however were long with little if any
sleep. It was hell not knowing if Izzy was dead or alive.

It's been two and a half weeks and we haven't had contact with
anybody. Kyle said. We really managed to mess things up worse than ever
before.

* * * * *

KNOCK... KNOCK... KNOCK...

* * * * *

The front door flew open before we could even get downstairs to answer it.

Izzy will arrive in about a half-hour; you need to have his room ready. Dax
said as he pushed his way past us and headed upstairs.

That's is Izzy's bedroom. Kyle said as he pointed his finger toward the
door.

It'll have to do. Dax said as he opened the door looked around the
room. He'll need a lot of help, if it hadn't been for you two he'd be dead
right now. You saved his life by contacting me. His doctors found a hidden
blood clot in his brain.

Why is he coming home so soon? Kyle questioned. Shouldn't he stay in the
hospital longer?

Under normal circumstances someone in his condition would stay in the
hospital much longer but he should be with family. Dax said with
sadness. Just incase the inevitable happens in the next few days.

How bad was he this time? I asked.

According to his doctors he should had been dead on arrival. Dax said
matter-of-factly.  I don't see how that boy survived as bad as they said he
was.

We'll do what ever we can to make him comfortable. Dad said from behind
us. Especially if these next few days are his last on earth.

They won't be his last days. I said matter-of-factly. I can feel it deep
down inside.
