Chapter 8

"Kane," a voice called out from behind. He turned around to see Akito walking towards him with a teenage boy in a black hoodie. "Akito what brings you here," Kane asked. "Are you able to go on break right now we need to talk," Akito asked. "Uh yea just a second. Hey Keighley im gonna go on break now you got the register covered," Kane yelled. "Yea go ahead," Keighley shouted back. Kane followed Akito and the boy outside. "Alright im on break what did you want to talk about," Kane asked. Akito looked over at the boy who then took his hood and mask off. Kane looked at the boy and froze, a tear rolling down his cheek. "Kane," the boy said softly. "Axel your alright," Kane said. Axel hugged Kane tightly as Kane hugged him back. "I never stopped looking for you after you disappeared," Kane said. "I knew you wouldnt give up," Axel said quietly. "How did you find him," Kane asked Akito. "It wasnt easy. I had help in the search," Akito replied. Axel broke the hug and turned towards Akito. "The people who took me what happened to them," Axel asked. "One got away the others wont bother you anymore. No need to worry about them. Where your living now is safer than anywhere else," Akito replied. "Hey Kane im sorry to interrupt you guys but i need your help in here," Keighley said standing in the doorway of the store. "Alright I'll be right there," Kane said. "We can pick you up when you get off work," Akito said. "Alright then i guess I'll see you in a few hours," Kane said then went inside. Akito took Axel back to the house. Once they entered Aktio made lunch then went upstairs to get Ezra, Atlas, Mila, and the twins. When they came downstairs they saw Akito handing something to Axel. "Akito who's he," Zena asked. "Zena," Mila said. "What i was only asking a question," Zena said. "That's alright. This is Axel Heroux," Akito replied. "Heroux why does that name sound familiar," Mila asked. "It's Kane's last name," Atlas replied. Axel looked up at them as he took a bite of his food. "Wow he looks kinda like him," Ezra said. "I'm his younger brother," Axel said quietly. "Didn't know he had one," Ezra said. Axel looked over at Akito then back at the others before continuing eating his lunch. "Leave him be and come eat," Akito said before walking away. Axel got up and went to Akito. Akito was on the phone in his office while looking at a map. "I told you id call you later. Im busy right now Bones," Akito said. "Sorry sir but we really need your help. The SlitThroats have taken Riot and we cant seem to get to him. We sent you a map," Bones replied. "I'm looking at it now. I'll call you when i figure it out now i have to go," Akito said then hung up. He looked up and saw Axel standing there. "How long have you been there," Akito asked. "Long enough to hear the end of tour call," Axel said softly then shut the door. Akito sighed then sat back in his chair. "I take it the others dont know," Axel said. "No and i want to keep that way. What i do is dangerous and you guys can get hurt," Akito said. "From what i heard one of ur men are missing," Axel said walking over to him. "Yea," Akito said looking at the map once again. Axel looked down at the map then picked up a marker and made a few marks. "Try goin in like that. Your man is most likely in here," Axel said. "Okay. We should go get Kane now. He gets off in 10," Akito said then stood up. He folded the map and put it into his pocket.

"Kane where's Akito," Ezra asked walking into the room. "He left last night and didn't come back," Kane replied. Axel sat down beside Kane with a couple cups of juice. "He said something about helping his brother's," Axel said. "Oh so he's with his brothers," Ezra said. "Yea Why'd you ask," Kane askes. "I need his help with some work from our class. I guess im gonna go bug Atlas til he has to leave for work," Ezra replied then left. "Kane, Kane come play with me," Zena said running into the room. "Alright I'll be there in a little bit. Where's your brother," Kane asked. "I dont know i think he went outside," Zena said before running off. "I'll look for him. You go play with Zena before she tries to beat you again and put make up on you," Axel said before standing up. "Alright," Kane said then got up and left the door. Axel went out the back door and over to a tree where Zenith was sitting. "Zena is looking for you," Axel said crouching down next to him. Zenith looked at him and shrugged. "Alright we dont have to talk. I'll sit here as well," Axel said. Axel pulled out a sketch book and began to draw. Zenith saw and looked over to watch. "Your good at that," Zenith said quietly. "Ive been drawing for years. Its helps me to calm my mind," Axel said. "I like to write when im tryin to calm down," Zenith said. "That helps as well. Here you can keep this," Axel said handing him the drawing he just finished. "You can tell your Kane's little brother. You're kind jsut like him," Zenith said, "oh and thanks for this. It's really good." Zenith went inside and into his room. Axel continued to sit under the tree drawing.
