I don't know... I don't really see them off the yard.

Then tell me what they look like.

They're bigger than me. Cameron's got brown hair and one of his friends has darker hair in lots of plaits. Um... Emily o-or Amelia has ginger hair. One of them's really tall and has streaks in his hair.

When you see them next make up the best descriptions you can. Look at them and try and see if anyone at school can tell you their grades. Omega and I are going to fix this. I promise.

Okay. Thanks, D.

I wish you had come to me about this earlier. But we're going to take care of this. And until then... Until then I'll see if we can't deal with some of it by playing the... power game.

Sorry. I just kept thinking Mr Carson would do something about it. What's the power game?

Omega and I had concerns about Carson. He's old, as you know. In fact, he was my teacher when I was in school and he knew about my own hearing and wasn't very good about it. I'm sorry. Just... leave this to us. I promise we'll make it better.

Omega and I will be in to see the principal soon. Don't worry.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, he's old. I don't really like him.

The principal? Does it need to go that far?

Yes Theta, it does if I'm going to get Carson to be a good person and get in touch with the parents of these kids to punish them.

...This is getting a lot bigger than I thought it would.

Theta... What these kids are doing is wrong. It's meant to hurt you, and that's what they care about. It makes them feel big and important. And that's wrong. Very wrong. They can't do this, and you don't deserve it.

So yes, it's going to be bigger, and I'm sorry about that. I know you like things to be quiet, to be peaceful. But there are times, once in a while, when you need to speak up or things will not get better. Omega and I will do that speaking. If we don't they'll keep hurting you until they think it's okay to maybe hit you. They'll think it's okay to act like this all of their lives.

Kids like this can become like the person that hurt Sigma. So we have to make them understand what they are doing is wrong so they can learn from it and be good people when they grow up. And to protect you. Mostly to protect you.

[Very small and scared]

They're not going to take me away, are they?

No! Oh Theta, I didn't mean it like that. I meant for them being mean and bad people. But that's a long time away, and we're going to stop that by showing them how they're wrong.

Theta no one will ever take you from me and our family. Never ever. I swear it. You're MY little brother. Forever.

Okay. As long as we can stop them. There should be any people like that.

Good, I don't want to leave you. Love you and the family.

Well, some day you may 'leave' me a little bit. We're... going to be moving soon, Theta. Which might mean your room could be further down the hall from mine. You'll still love and visit me, right?

[His brother could definitely use the affectionate teasing now.]

We're moving? Where? Why? I'll always love you! Yeah, I'll come and see you. A lot.

This house isn't big enough for our family, and there are things that are falling apart, right? Like the laundry room stuff. And the kitchen is so small. There needs to be more space, for all of us. Don't you think? We don't know where yet, but we're looking for houses. Florida and Tex are helping. It's going to be nice.
