"It's okay Bella. Sorry I wasn't here or I would have prevented all of this myself. At least there's a bright side to all of this, we know one more person that the don won't be giving orders to anymore. Now you just relax, here, take this medicine and put this ice over your eye and the bump on your head."

"Hehe, okay. Let's see, mom had a little to-do list somewhere around here, things that needed fixing. Hmm, oh, I remember where it is, come with me." Reth led the way to the back of the kitchen area where the steps to the upstairs living area were, pulling a little sheet of paper off the wall and looking at it. "Hmm, do you know how to fix stuff like boilers and air conditioners? Then there's two chairs, a table top, and a burned out light. Where should we start?"

Bella smiled and took her medication and put some ice on her eye and her bugle. She smiled at her * Well I really hope I be fresh to my birthday. Ow I still need to speak to drake if I could get the gym to have the party. But I guess no one will train in the night.* She smiled think about what she said about someone leaving she did not really know what she mean about it
Murry took a look at some of the things he did say that need to be fixed. * Well lets make the table first so it is the hardst one to make* he smiled and took the table and show of his big mussels and turn the table around on the flat side so he could fix it

"Oh I'm sure it'll be fine. Don't you worry about it, and I'll start planning decorations and things with the kids. You know how much they love to help, and how this was their idea after all. You'll be ready for the party even if we have to dip into a few little beauty secrets, hehe." Though she didn't exactly use many she certainly had her fair share of tricks and a big box of makeup to take care of things like that.

"Wow, hehe, glad I didn't have to pick a fight with you mr. Murry. You're really good at this too, maybe mom won't have to ask me and uncle Blake to fix everything anymore." Reth was watching and helping when he could, handing his big friend tools when needed and doing anything he was instructed. This was a lot better than his solution to fixing a table, sticking coaster after coaster under the bad leg until it was propped up enough.

*Well hope you will help me. I don't want my mom to flip out because she see I got a hurt eye. She still have not forgive me when I come home and told her I went to a boxing training. She was shouting at me and told me about many boxers that did not have a big brain because of all the hits. And she still will not stop talking about it.* She smiled at her see she still have something from her pancake she took a small bit and it still did smell good even if it cold.

Murry smiled at him* Well I could make you a training program if you want to work on your muscles and maybe get as strong as me* It was nice to show of his talents. And he was Happy to hear nice thing about him. He was always need to be called named and used to do some dirty work. * well you can always call me if things need to be fixed.*

"Oh don't worry, she won't find out about this if we can help it. I know how protective moms can be, hehe, and I also know how sometimes they love to do the exact opposite of whatever you say too. Just hope it isn't at a time that'll lead them to getting into big trouble."

"Really? Wow, I wanna be the biggest, strongest guy around! Bet it'll take me forever to get stronger than you though. So, you'll be around the school and here a lot, that's good. Um... do you mind... if I ask, why that other guy was so mean to you?"

Bella smiled at crimson* Well I can understand her but it is so hard because I really want to try out for the sport and I always tell her that I will use a helmet but she never believe in me. That's why she got so happy that were is no boxing class in the school. Year she is really careful against me and it is not easy because I am her only child so she don't have any other kids to be carefully about.* she giggles and was beginning to fill better about her eyes

Murry smiled at him happy to speak of something he understand. * Well every one can lern to have big muscles and it takes time for every one but I would say that a boy like you max must lift around 60 kg(sorry don't know the pound system) most because you don't want to give to much pres on you body you still have many years to grow. Well Don Millow is not my friend and he has some one he speak nice to and others he don't. I don't have that much in my mind but I can lift things so I always do the dirty work. Speaking of work can you take the hammer and hit on the nails?* he point at some loss nails

"Now that part I don't know as much about, having two living brothers and five kids, never really got to experience the "only child" thing. But I guess I can understand how she'd be extra protective of you that way. No boxing but plenty of other sports that you can enjoy at least, and I bet if you pressured him enough Drake could probably start a boxing group." But it had taken long enough just to get him to include fencing again so maybe that wasn't going to be an easy task.

"Ohhhhh, okay. I guess I get it now. As long as you're happy being you then I guess that's great mister Murry." Reth took the hammer and carefully started hitting the nails in. He'd done this once or twice before and managed to his his paw and wasn't eager to repeat the same mistake over again. "Like this?"

* Well year I be happy to speak to him and don't have to be at my first year but could be nice. Or ells I have to try out for some other teams. And year it is a lot of protect by her. It is like she having a dog collar on me and she is holding me really tight. So I can't run around doing dirty tricks. But I guess it is just like whit all the mothers are like that* He smiled at her beginning to get better and could slowly fill the pain in her eye getting of so she could open it a little bit.

Murry smiled at it as he take the big hammer. * Well I can hole the nail so it don't fall down and if you hit wrong you only hit my fingers and not your fingers.* he hold the fingers on the nail and try to hold it still so it not was to shaky

"I can say it from experience that moms are always protective, heh. It just depends on the child and situation on how much a mom gets to be like that. Just give it a little time and you can show her what you can do, hehe." Crimson did have a pretty wide variety of experience from her own kids, each of them being so different from one another.

"Aww, I don't wanna smash your fingers either. Okay, guess that means I gotta be extra careful when I do this huh?" Reth took his time and carefully made each swing, trying hard not to miss or to hit it too hard. Even if Murry was big his fingers weren't, they could still be hurt pretty bad with a really terrible swing.

Well you are right. But I also think it is a bad idea that I take over the family business. She think that I will end up in prison or ells I will get kidnapped. But it is hard to say no to it after all the things that hat happened to me. But she also know I can be a tuff girl.* She fill the bugle was loosing a little bit of it's sice.

Murry smiled at him as he begin to hit harder on the nail. * You don't have to hurt my fingers I can take a lot of hits.* He let go of the nail as it begins to go deep into the the table and making sure it stay in it so it will not break

"Well that second concern of hers is already starting to look like it's true isn't it? And having plenty of trouble with that one fellow around here, maybe that'll all stop when your family comes by for your birthday and he sees them around?"

Reth smiled, finishing the job as best he could, avoiding any accidents and getting the nails in properly. "I did it! So table's all fixed now? What's next mister Murry?" He was happy to have some support and someone around who knew what he was doing, and could help him with all these little chores that'd take him forever to finish normally.

*Well the hard one will be my daddy I think he still will be like."I'm you father do as I say and if I say you are going to take over the mafia you are going to do it." He is tuff to turn around but I can understand him because it is a pride for him to have the mafia and would be really sad if he see the mafia going to break.* she was a little bit confused abut what to do really. She could run the business for the old man so he will not get mad the day he give her the job. But she still did not like it being a mafia boss

Murry smiled and flip the table over and took at look at the chair he could see some of the bolts was missing. * well I need some new bolts and.... what is it called .....the thing you use to get the bolts on?* now he sowed that he was not one of the smartest guy. He did not know what it was called but he know what it look like and used for

"Well at least he can come around. I'm sure even if you end up running everything you'll be good about it. And hopefully nobody's going to challenge you." She didn't know much about the whole business or anything but she did know that she'd do her best to keep Bella out of trouble.

"Oh uh... um... the uh... the whatsitcalled, yeah. I'll go get them, be right back." Reth ran off to a storage closet and found what he needed, running back and handing everything to Murry. "It's these right? Yeah I dunno what they're called I just know what you were talking about. Terrible at putting these things in."

Bella smiled at Crimson. She sure could give her some great idea. * Well I could sure do some of the thing but it is not the hole thing but some of the jobs are not something I like. But I could maybe do it and turn things around.* She smiled eat the last part of the pancake

Murry smiled at him well he think he got the right one. *Well sure I think it is the right one you want to help me. you can start and I do the last turn to make sure that it stay tight against the legs of the chair*

"You never know if it'll work until you try. And hopefully you won't have to try very hard, but the way that don fellow's been acting he's going to continue to try and give you trouble. Maybe you can just buy him out or something, get him to leave you alone and still feel like he won?"

"Okay, sounds good mister Murry. You tell me if I'm doing it wrong kay?" Reth started working on fixing the chair. He wasn't the best at it but he wasn't making it worse either so he kind of looked at that as a good thing. Mom had really needed someone around that would be able to fix things and he wound up with the chore but he was still learning, and now she could just ask Murry instead.
