“I’m not sure if I meant Betty.” Fp shook his head, a hand running down it from top to bottom. “I meant to tell you this earlier, but you got caught up in the whole ‘Trick or Treat’ with the kids.” Pausing ever so gently to study Alices face, he proceeded on. “I pulled your sister into my squad car this afternoon, before someone else had the chance to. Fighting in the abandoned building off Main Street. I gave her a warning and set her free, it’s hard for me to even stop her.” Towing the line between king and Law enforcement was becoming increasing difficult.
Of course, her sister would do something like that. She was upset by it, but she also knew that she came by it naturally. It’s how her mother was and it was how she was. She was ruthless when she was her age as well. She took a minute to process it, running a hand through her hair. “Of course. Who with now?” Oh, she was going to hear from Alice once the night was over.
“Just a few Serpents.” FP knew how hard Alice tried to mother everyone, her care and concern was what held the family together. “She was raised on the street, you can’t teach an old snake new tricks.” Determined. That’s what FP was, he knew the best way to show Alice how much he cared was to make sure he could keep tabs on the things she couldn’t. “I’m watching her Al. Real close. The truth is, she has you down to a T. Remember how we used to spend Halloween?”
