Episode 12
Thrax; 8had gotten up near dawn and headed out for a jog8
Maria: *was up ahead doing her jogging as well*
Thrax; 8hung back, not wanting to be seen8
Maria: *could hear jogging footsteps behind n turned ard to see who it was, only to see Thrax* Oh, it's u
Thrax; 8stopped8 I'm not here for trouble.
Maria: Yeah well, I'm just deciding to change my route of jogging to here. Didn't expect to see u either *continued jogging*
Thrax; 8kept back in pace8
Maria: *jogged for a while, then asked, not facing him* Off the record, virus. Why did u choose this city?
Thrax; We needed one one that was young and fresh.
Maria: To infect?
Thrax; To start a new.
Maria: Wht happened to ur old city?
Thrax; 8sighed and told her8
Maria: *listens to everything* I see. Since u havent reli stirred up much trouble, I'll take ur word for it
Thrax; Believe me I don't want any trouble for my family.
Maria: *jogged again in silence before saying* U said u met Ricardo. Where?
Thrax; Around. ~Not like you care.~
Maria: How's he?
Thrax; Seems to be doing well.
Maria: *nods quietly* I...nvr reli meant wat I said in the PD yesterday
Thrax; 8stopped and twitched his ears8
Maria: *hears him stop n stopped as well, bt still not facing him* Abt Ricardo. I nvr reli mean it tht badly
Thrax; 8snorted and kept his ears pricked8
Maria: *glared at his snort* He IS still my brother after all
Thrax; Then why haven't you helped him8
Maria: I couldn't. It was my colleague's paychk he stole. It was too incriminating. And...because I was embarassed
Thrax; Pathetic.
Maria: I am a cop, for Hector's sake! I swore an oath to serve n protect! If there is any law broken, evn by my own family, I must not be biased! I take my job friggin' seriously, unlike u guys!
Thrax; That's because my family matters more than my job.
Maria: Typical stereotype of a wuss
Thrax; 8snarled but the sound of trash cans falling caught his attention8
Maria: *whips out her plasma gun* Who's there?
8trashcans fell to the ground as whoever is was ran off8
Maria: Freeze! Immunity! *gave chase*
Thrax; 8ran after her after getting the scent8
Maria: *due to her training n physique, caught up with the person running n pounced on him* Alright, buddy! Hands in the air!
*the person does so, holding his hands up. The day started to get a little brighter n they could see each other*
Ricardo: M...Maria...?
Maria: R...Ricky...?
Thrax; 8skidded to a hault8
Maria: Wht are u doing here??
Ricardo: I should ask the same abt u
Antonio; Get away from him. 8swayed at Maria8
Maria: *aimed her gun at him* You! You're a virus! How the Hec did u get here?!
Ricardo: No! Maria! Stop it! How many times do I have to tell u to stop pointing ur gun at everything tht moves?!
Thrax; 8swyped at her8 Leave them.
Maria: *gets off Ricardo* Wht is going on here?
Ricardo: None of ur business, Maria. I'm off the family, remember? Wht goes on with me has nothing to do with u
Antonio; 8gathered the rotting food8
Maria: Are you...Are you guys eating garbage?
Ricardo: Like I said *gets up n hugged Antonio's arm* None of ur business
Antonio; 8whispered8 Let's go.
Ricardo: Cya, Maria *left with him*
Maria: Wait, Ricky! *too late to stop them as they've ran off*
Thrax; 8bit his lip in worry8
Maria: I...I didn't knw he...Wait, is he dating tht virus?
Thrax; 8remained silent9
Maria: U knw something I dont, virus. Spill it!
Thrax; 8didn't speak and started to walk away8
Maria: Hey, hey! *followed behind* Don't turn ur back at me! Look at me wen I'm talking to u, virus!
Thrax; 8held his head high8
Maria: I knew I couldn't trust you! You viruses are all the same! *kicked at his shin n jogged away frm there*
Thrax; ~Bitch~ 8he headed home8
Ozzie: *was preparing breakfast* Hey, love. Ur jog is rather long today
Thrax; Ran into trouble.
Ozzie: How so? *passes him his coffee*
Thrax; 8explained as he drank it8
Ozzie: Oh dear. It reli is a little troublesome. *sigh* If tht Maria can cut loose n dont treat her job like it was the Holy Bible, she would've been a reli nice girl
Thrax; Most Immunity's like that.
Ozzie: Was I tht way? *grins*
Thrax; You wish,
Ozzie: Would you like me to be tht way? *mischievious grin as he nuzzled noses with Thrax*
Thrax; 8kissed him8 I prefer you the way you are.
Ozzie: *kisses bk* We still need to do something abt ur brothers n Ricardo. It's not right for them to be scavenging ard like some bum
Thrax; 8nods8 But what/
Ozzie: I dunno...I saw a couple of nice houses for sale in the neighbourhood, bt asking Paul to give them citizenship would reli push it to the press on his reputation
Thrax; 8sighed8
Ozzie: I just feel its not right to let them live like tht wen we're nice n cozy here. They're ur brothers, which means they're my brothers too
Thrax; I wish we had more room.
Ozzie: Well, this IS a 3 storey house, and I think we have one extra guest room near the attic. If they dont mind squeezing in...
Thrax; Or we could also turn the attic into another guest room.
Ozzie: *remembers the wedding dress he hid in there* Umm...We'll think abt tht later. Go take a shower, ur almost late for work
Thrax; 8nodded and went upstairs8
Ozzie: *heaved a sigh of relief* ~No way am I gonna let him spoil the surprise~
Thrax; 8soon came down, kissed Ozzy's cheek then headed off to work8
Ozzie: Bye bye, love
Hecro: *came dwn in a hurry, looking like a hurricane just hit his room as he chased after Thrax* Wait for me~!!
Thrax; 8sweatdropped8
Ozzie: Overslept, I see?
Hecro: Kinda *drank dwn the coffee n stuffed a pancake into his mouth* Cya, bro
Ozzie: *chuckles* Cya. Have a nice day at work
Thrax; 8dragged Hecro off8
Ozzie: *chuckles n shook his head as he watched them leave*
Leah; 8watched the two leave as she worked out in the yard8
Ozzie: *sees her* Mornin', Leah girl
Leah; Hey Oz.
Ozzie: How's Maximus doing?
Leah; Still asleep at the minute.
Drix: Morning, everyone *kisses Leah's cheek*
Ozzie: Mornin', Drix
Leah; 8nuzzled against him8
Ozzie: You still going to the campaign?
Drix: Gotta keep up the facade till the debate day. I'm vouching for Maximus tho, saying he's taking a sick leave
Leah; I vink he really needs a break.
Ozzie: Agreed. Well, u take care tho, Drix. There's no telling wat tht little jinx is up to next
Drix: Dont worry. I'm on it *kisses Leah on the lips before he left for work*
Leah; 8waved to him8
Ozzie: So, managed to buy the wedding clothes?
Leah; All set.
Ozzie: Sweet. I heard frm Hecro tht his n Thrax's suit is going to be delivered here later in the afternoon. Cant wait to chk it out
Leah; 8chuckled8
Ozzie: I hope Thrax's bros can make it to our wedding. I reli want this to be like a family event, u knw
Leah; 8nodded8
Ozzie: Speaking of which, Thrax ran into tht uptight cop Maria again *told her wht Thrax told him*
Leah; 8bit her lip8
Ozzie: Like I said, if she didnt take her job too seriously, she would've been alright
Leah; Ja.
Ozzie: *sees Maximus coming out* Mornin', Max
Maximus; 8yawns8 Morning.
Ozzie: Slept well there?
Maximus; 8nodded8
Ozzie: I got some breakfast still nice n warm. Wanna come ovr n have some?
Leah; Sounds good.
Ozzie: *opened the connecting door on the fence to let them in*
Jared: *was already at the table, munching pancakes* Mornin', everyone!
Leah; Hey kid. 8ruffles his hair8
Jared: *offered* Pancakes? Waffles?
Maximus; 8shook his head8
Ozzie: Aren't u hungry, Max?
Maximus; Not really.
Ozzie: Then have some coffee then *offered him one*
Maximus; 8takes it8 Thank you.
Ozzie: So, how goes with u n my brother?
Maximus; 8blushed8
Jared: Oooh~! Are u officially Uncle Hecro's boy~friend~? *naughty grin*
Maximus; 8went redder8
Ozzie: Jared, dont be rude
Jared: Sorry ^^
Leah; 8rolled her eyes8
*the trio had crawled out of their crib n were trying to walk dwnstairs, while the twins n Shane were heard crying in the nursery*
Ozzie: Hey, u cheeky little kids. How'd u get out of bed, hmm? *picked the trio up n nuzzled them before going upstairs to chk on the others*
Maximus; Need any help/
Ozzie: I guess so. You could help me take Shane, since she likes u so much
Maximus; 8blushed and fallowed him8
Ozzie: *once in the nursery, set the trio dwn n picks the twins up*
Maximus; 8went over to Shane's crib and smiled down at her8
Shane: *looked up at him n giggled* Babu~!
Maximus; 8scooped her up and nuzzled her nose8
Shane: *squealed in delight* Babu~! *tugged at his hair*
Maximus; 8chuckled8
Ozzie: She reli likes u. U do knw wat she means by calling u Babu?
Maximus; I'm a little rusty on other languages.
Ozzie: No, it's just baby talk, bt basically she is accepting u as her father
Maximus; 8blushed and went wide eyed8
Ozzie: Yeah, tht's why Hecro was embarassed to tell u n wht Jared's been trying to tell u last night. Shane has good tastes. She nvr picks the wrong person
Maximus; 8smiled down at her8
Shane: *smiles bk n hugged his face* Babu~!
Maximus; 8smiled holding her tenderly8
Ozzie: *carries the twins* Alright, kids. Let's all go dwnstairs
*the trio walked n stumbled a little after him*
Maximus; 8fallowed suit8
Ozzie: Jared, go make some soft cereal for ur brothers n sister. I'm gonna feed ur other two sisters here
Jared: Aye aye, Mommy *did as he was told*
Ozzie: *sat on the couch n unbuttoned his shirt to feed the twins*
Maximus; 8smiles8 Guess we should get you something as well angel. 8tickled her chin as he carried her to the kitchen8
Ozzie: *call after him* There's a bottle of milk in the fridge for her. U can warm tht up
Maximus; 8took it out of the fridge then set in the microwave for a few minutes and tested the tempreture8 That's warn enough. 8gives it to Shane8
Shane: Num-num! *drinks the milk*
Jared: Tht's Uncle Hecro's milk ur holding, u knw *grins mischievously as he fed the trio their cereal*
Maximus; 8felt the heat rising in his face8
Ozzie: Jared! Too much information there, boy!
Jared: Sorry, Mommy, bt it's true
Ozzie: I swear, he's just as cheeky as his brother
Maximus; 8shook off the blush and continued feeding Shane8
Ozzie: U seem to get the hang of it pretty well there, Max
Maximus; Thanks.
Ozzie: We saw ur folks' picture. They looked rather good-looking. I'm surprised u didnt have other siblings
Maximus; 8sighs8 I would have.
Ozzie: Why? Wht happened?
Maximus; After I was born my parents were both 'snipped'.
Ozzie: Huh? Why? Why would they do tht?
Maximus; They thought unity should be between cells of the opposite.
Ozzie: Tht's ridiculous. This is what u get if u live in a young city, I suppose. But I thought usually cells can only reproduce with the opposite sex, n only if the other party is a virus then a same sex reproduction would work. Isn't tht right, Leah girl?
Leah; 8nodded8 Though there are special cases.
Ozzie: Then I guess ur folks is one of those special cases then, Max?
Maximus; 8nodded8
Ozzie: How could ur parents allowed themselves to be 'snipped'? I'm sure they put up a fight
Maximus; They did before beind sedated.
Ozzie: Dang! Tht's a little harsh
Leah; 8nods8
Ozzie: Well at least here *buttoned his shirt n burped the twins* We dont see anyone coming up to our doorsteps asking for a snip
Leah; Vankfully.
Ozzie: Which reminds me, we're getting married soon. I'd like to invite u as well, Max. U n Hecro can be our best man
Maximus; 8blushed8 Thank you.
Jared: Tht means u need to get a suit too! Get one tht matches Uncle Hecro, u'll be perfect!
Maximus; If I can find one to fit me. 8he patted Shane's back8
Ozzie: I'm sure there will be. You still got the catalogs, Leah girl?
Leah; 8took them out8
Ozzie: *looks for the catalogs for men's suits n passed it to him* Here, there should be one u might like
Maximus; 8looked through it8
Jared: Pick this one! *points at a suit tht looked like some sort of Bavarian Beer party suit*
Maximus; 8sweatdropped and shook his head8
Ozzie: Silly boy *clapped Jared's back* We're having a wedding, not the Fourth of July
Jared: *laughed cheekily*
Maximus; 8blushed and continued looking8
*the trio leans in to look as well*
Maximus; What about his/ 8points to a tux that looks like something from the 1800s8
Ozzie: Hmm, a little old school, bt quite fitting. I think it might fit. Matches a little with Hecro's suit
Maximus; 8nods8
Ozzie: Then it's settled. We'll get this for u
Leah; 8smiled8
