Errol's black shades eyed the small orange bottle in Noa's hand, he snickered instead of answering verbally. Noa's suggestion about bringing Clem to the next deal earned her a raised brow. [color=fff200]"Naw."[/color] he shook his head [color=fff200]"I want her to find her own path, but I don't want her involved in what we do. I'll take vandalism over anything me and you do."[/color] he said in a serious tone, a rare instance for him.

Letting out a huff through his nose, Errol did find Noa's joke about Clem "bringing the family together" amusing but even he couldn't allow himself to laugh about a situation involving Duncan. The young criminal appreciated Noa in more ways than one, she always knew how to ease his nerves and was able to lighten up any situation. But not only that, she really was like family to him - even more than his own blood relatives. They came up together in the Strays and found solace as young mutants trying to find their place in a world that hated and feared them.

Errol could physically feel his blood pressure lower when he felt Noa place her hand on his shoulder. His tensed muscles relaxed and let out a calm sigh. Grateful for her words, he then offered her a grin when she struggled figuring out the word for hot dog. [color=fff200]"Sausage dog? Really? That's new, even for you."[/color] Errol stepped out of the car and shut the door behind him [color=fff200]"We gotta work on your English, [i]mi estimada[/i]"[/color] he added, flexing his own bilinguality.

There he was, as he entered the precinct Duncan was the first thing he unfortunately saw. Sucking his teeth, Errol approached his older brother and as he drew closer, he noticed Duncan's disheveled appearance. A twinge of concern panged in his stomach but was gone as fast as it appeared. Standing beside him and refusing to make eye contact, Errol placed his hands in his jacket pocket he spoke up.

[color=fff200]"You look like shit."[/color]

Unaware that Duncan was already in the process of getting their sister released, Errol impatiently asked [color=fff200]"Are you getting Clem out or not?"[/color]

The officer glanced between the pair of brothers, the animosity between the two clearly obvious. Clearing his throat, he began to answer "Yes, well... Doctor Fraser was already in the process of--".

Interrupting him, Errol interjected [color=fff200]"Yeah, yeah. I'll pay half the bail."[/color] dumping a stack of cash in the palm of the officer's hand. Finally turning his head to face Duncan [color=fff200]"She [i]is[/i] my sister too. After all."[/color] Errol added.

During the small wait for Clementine, Errol cut the awkward silence with a question [color=fff200]"Soooo, why are you, a distinguished member of society, all roughed up like this?"[/color] He paused briefly and then turned to address Noa, whispering: [color=fff200]"And why wasn't it me."[/color] humurously.

Finally, Clementine arrived in the company of one of the officers and a small smile creeped on his face. A snicker escaped the middle brother's mouth following Clem's comment on Duncan's appearance. She was definitely his sister. Errol returned his sister's hug and squeezed her tighter than she did him [color=fff200]"Hey, Tangerine. Missed you, [i]amor[/i]."[/color]. Errol observed the brief exchange between Clementine and Noa, recalling the time where she thought that he and Noa were sleeping together. Errol and Noa had never laughed so hard at anything in their entire 24 years of life.

Then, Errol turned to Duncan following Clem's question. He was curious as to who would be taking her home this time.
