"My uncle?" *Matty shrugged and looked into the fire. It was like pulling teeth to get a hold of his uncle.*
"He still has himself locked away... takes care of his kids but has... pretty much checked out. He has his men out looking for my aunt but he is just dying to go looking for himself."
*It pained Matty to see his uncle like that. Trying to still do the motions of life but slipping away a little more each day. Matty knew that his uncle wouldn't leave his kids Emma and Noah to nannies. Even though it was never said or asked the second Matty was home from school Gabben would go looking for Kayla. He couldn't blame him though, if Marie went missing Matty would search past the ends of the earth to find her.*
"He knew I would ask you sooner or later. He gave me his blessing last year after your birthday. A couple months ago he sent me the ring."
*Matty smiled.*
"Just in case."
