The group of boys who were messing the Nick and Teren froze up. Although some of them were taller than these men, they were, after all, just your average school bullies. They amount nothing in front of gangsters.
"Nick," Nathan walked in, ignoring the bullies and pointed, "Uncle Jo, I don't know if you remember but this kid is my brother."
As he wrapped his arm around Nick though, he pulled him away from Teren.
Respecting Teren's wishes not to be known, Uncle Jo, Nathan, and the rest all looked at Nick as if they were there for him.
"H-huh?" Nick gulped and froze.
Nathan then glared at the group of boys.
"But who are you people?"
"U-umm..." the leader of the bullies didn't know what to answer. All he knew was that they need to get out of there.
He looked at his friends and learned that their thoughts were just the same.
