Luke sat in the soft window seat, looking out at the rain, his finger tips lightly drumming on the glass. He’d been there for a while, just staring aimlessly into the night, wondering what his father was doing. The old man had left about five hours ago, supposedly to attend an auction, something that sounded so normal but truly wasn’t. Luke knew what he was really doing and he didn’t approve of it at all. The auction was for human slaves, a secret underground trade that still flourished even in modern times, and his dad was on the hunt for a woman that would tend to his needs and, if his sons were lucky, theirs too.
Personally, Luke wanted no part of it but he’d never defy his father. The man was a brute who beat both of his sons regularly while they were growing up, instilling the fear of god in them. He didn’t like what the man was doing but he wouldn’t stop it nor would his brother. Turning away from the window, he spotted Marcus pacing back and forth in the room and took a minute to study him. Where Luke was lean of body and tall of height, with shoulder length brown hair, Marcus was short and bulky, his body packed with muscles from his football days, sporting a shock of short black hair.
“How long do you think he’ll be?” Luke asked, knowing his brother had no more idea than he did. Marcus simply shrugged and then stopped. “Does it matter? He’s going to do what he’s going to do.” Luke nodded and flopped back in the seat, staring out at the rain again. It was some hours later when he finally saw the headlights cut through the dark; their father had returned home.
