"I hate it when I am in the center of a conversation. Especially when both sides want me too choose them!" TumTum thought too himself.
"Alright, Tum. We have given you enough time. We need an answer- Colt is almost finished eating for God's sake!" said dad petrified.
"I wanna stay here. I grew up here, my mother and grandfather died here, and, well, I do love my brothers even though sometimes I wish I don't. But, dad, I will call you and all, but, well, please don't be mad. You do understand, right?" TumTum said.
Slowly his father got up and said, "Yes, and I am going to miss you. I have to leave, otherwise I am going to miss my plane. And you two," he said facing the two eldest boys, "If I get even one complaint from Michael here, I will have all three of you in my hands, got it?"
The boys were shocked. The last time he called them by their names was when they came home from a summer with grandpa with their new ninja names. That was also the time they were kidnapped! With out further questions, their father left.
