#Chapter 193 – Family Reunion

“Nothing’s wrong,” Ian says, shrugging, drawing Alvin’s gaze back to him. “That was just awesome.”

Alvin freezes for a moment and then both boys start to laugh. Brent crosses his arms, not joining in, pissed off to be under these kids’ control.

“You have to teach me how to do that!” Ian says, jumping down from the couch and running to take Alvin’s hand. “Really, what do you do? Is it hard?”

Alvin shrugs. “I don’t know – you just get really bossy –“

Suddenly, Brent lunges forward, reaching for him, and Alvin gasps – spinning and putting his hands up.

“STOP!” Alvin screams and – inches from him – Brent freezes in place, loosing his balance and falling to the floor. But he doesn’t move forward anymore.

Ian looks at Alvin again, scared and wide-eyed, and Alvin grimaces a little. “I guess…I’m still new to it. I can’t do it from far away, not without a megaphone, and I guess…I didn’t realize you had to hold them to it, once you commanded it.”

Ian shrugs, considering. “I think you did a good job.”

“Thanks,” Alvin says with a smile, pleased, as he moves forward to a tied-up Beta and takes a set of zip ties from his pocket. Then, he and Ian move over to Brent. “Hands behind your back, please,” Alvin says, his voice light.

Scowling, the Beta complies, and the boys bind his hands, his feet, his legs, and his mouth.

Then, they run from the room, determined to find their parents.

Evelyn and Victor both turn their heads towards the stairs, hearing the pounding of feet coming down them – but they both frown when they realize that the feet don’t sound…quite right.

Not heavy enough.

Evelyn gasps as she realizes what is happening just before the twins come into view, a ring of keys dangling from Ian’s hand.

“Hi mom!” Alvin says, rushing over to her bars. Ian goes directly to his father’s cell, peering in at him, his face worried.

“Alvin,” Evelyn says, reaching through the bars to take her son’s face in her hands. “How did you get down here?”
