As evening turned to night, Kyle used the cover of darkness to slink back into Hillside Villa.

“Juan,” he called out softly while rapping on his room’s window.

The other boy quickly opened the window. “You’re finally back! Did you enjoy yourself today?”

Kyle found himself mulling over the question carefully. In truth, he did not know whether he had enjoyed himself or not. However, he had to admit that his heart had been pounding in excitement when he and Nicole had started beating up that bad guy. That probably counted as having fun, right?

At long last, he replied, “A little. How did things go on your end?”

 

“Smoothly. I met Grandpa and Grandma today and I’d even had a huge lunch! I even brought back some and was hoping to share it with our sisters. Is that okay?” Pausing, Juan handed the card that their grandmother had given him to Kyle. “By the way, Grandma gave me this card. It’s your allowance for this month. Here, take it.”

 

“I don’t want it.”

“They thought that I was you, so this is supposed to be for you. C’mon, keep it!”

 

“I don’t want it. Why don’t you take it?”

Kyle did not even bother to cast a glance at the card.

 

Hesitating, Juan wondered what to do. Technically, Kyle’s Grandma is my Grandma too. A grandmother giving money to her grandchildren is not anything new. Since he doesn’t want it, it would still be fine if I take it, right? Hehehe.

Pleased at his own reasoning, he tucked the card into a pocket for safekeeping.

“I’ll be leaving now!” he told his brother.

At Kyle’s nod, he headed into the kitchen to grab the bag with the take-out containers, lugging it out of there. Even though the bag was quite heavy as Juan was sagged with the weight, he was not deterred as he snuck out of Hillside Villa with some considerable effort.
