"It went out on the email list and text messaging." Kendall explained carefully. "But your new address was just added this morning. And Boost is not actually in THIS section. Kathleen got him to watch their oil and mineral properties that are miles away. She knows about Vipers."
"I would guess." Kamui was answering, when she heard a bit of a commotion in the corner.

"Does she also know that Vipers also need to have strong family ties to prevent territorial disputes, even between siblings?" Ebony asked sharply, "I've been trying to have one with Boost, but now that's been cut short by this stupid watching. I really don't need this kind of abuse right now."
*****
Delfina noticed Kamui's attention shift. "It's just Ebony. She usually gets like that whenever she feels that something doesn't sit well with her."

Kamui sighed. "I'm not without some personal experience with Vipers. We had such a family for neighbors up in Canada for a while. Three teenage boys in the house, all feeling their territorial urges at the same time!"
It was at this time that Boost decided to check in with his sister and touch bases, and punched in her cell number...

"That had to be rough," said Delfina, "but I think that this is more of a phsycological problem for Ebony. She's had to suffer a lot of emotional damage, as well as physical, in the past and she's just now starting to pick up the pieces. I can't imagine how hard it must've of been for her to keep all those emotions bottled up inside for so long."
*****
Ricardo, along with Phoenix, had also been watching Ebony's outburst, concerned, but keeping their son out of the way.
Ebony paused when her cell rang and she answered it with a rough, "Yeah?"

"Sis?" Boost spoke back. "I was just checkin' in with ya... is something wrong?"
"It's gonna take more than one person to help her sort out all that baggage." Kamui concurred.

Delfina nodded, "Yeah, and not to mention that she's just reunited with two members of her family, a mother she hasn't seen in years and a half-brother whom she didn't even know she had, until she had encountered her deadbeat father."
*****
Ebony held herself in check, promising herself that she wouldn't yell. She replied rather tartly, "I'm fine. Where are you?"

"I'm doing security checks on several pumping sites on some other land the Raven tribe owns." Boost answered. "Shrike is with me. Sis, I know by that tone that you're not happy, and I can guess about what, but we were looking for steadier work and the tribe happened to have those jobs open. The choice was mine, Sis. I take full responsibility for everything. I know, I should have told you earlier. You can cuss me out all you want now, just ease up on everyone else. Please do it for me."
Kamui frowned a little, concerned. "That would be a LOT to digest in a short time." She turned about. "Shroder, get your butt back here. Ebony is NOT going to bite you."
"Uh.... I wasn' skivin' off 'cos a' that." Shroder denied, "I was uh... gettin' ready t' 'ave a look at Shayla's mouth."

"I won't do that because there are children around," replied Ebony, sighing a little bit, "I've just been really stressed, but we should really start getting together more often and just do stuff. I really want to make this relationship work, Boost."
*****
Delfina looked curiously at Shroder. "What's wrong with Shayla?"

"We'll be over in Cortez tomorrow." Boost promised. "We wanna see what Mike and Ondine have set up, and we have our days free."
"Oh, nuttin' that half n' hour wi' a dental rasp can't set right." Shroder replied. "Aircraft teeth keep growin', y'see. They evolved from critters thet usedta eat grass n' grains 'afore they went over t'carbon, an' it's like a 'oldover from that time. They c'n still eat some oil-rich grains n' seeds, loik sunflower n' linseed, it just takes a while for their systems to make it a proper tankful 'o fuel an' they haveta keep eatin' small amounts throughout th' day to keep topped off. But now them ever-growin' nippers have no work t'do, so they don't get worn down, which c'n cause problems if it's not taken care of."
"I think she gets the point, Shroder." Kamui made a cut-off motion with her foretire.
<<< About to call it a night >>>

"Okay," Ebony said finally, "I'm gonna be there with Kendall, Phoenix, and Ricardo too. And because I promised Ondine that I'd come. I'm sorry I got a little angry a few minutes ago, Bro."
*****
Delfina smiled politely. But inside she was thinking, Boy, does he have a funny accent. And he sure likes to talk alot.
"Yeah, humans have to keep their teeth well-cared for too," she added, "We have a few dentists here for that."

"I have a feeling he's gonna be chasing her with a rasp until she submits." Kamui groaned.
"It's OK Sis, I know you've got a lot to work through." Boost said sympathetically, "And so do I. See you tomorrow?"

"Don't know if I want to see that or not," said Delfina, "but she probably needs it."
*****
"Sure, see you tomorrow, Bro," replied Ebony, "Talk to ya later."
She hung up the cell and looked at the others, "Me and Boost managed to fix things up. It's okay now."

"Great," Phoenix said as she rubbed Gryffin's roof.

"Hun, I don't even think the Seekers have that kind of drugs." Daniel rose up, feeling her tummy.

"Sorry about my outburst," Ebony added apologetically, "I've just been a little stressed..."
