Hope you don’t mind if I share your number with my brothers.

BTW, stole your number from Michael, in case you’re wondering. Don’t worry. We’re safe.

Who in the world was DW? Someone who knew Michael, so…

BW

Hey, Ethan. Let us know if there’s anything we can do. I’m good at research, if that helps.

Ethan was trying to figure out how to respond when another text came through.

GW

He is good at research. I’m decent at tactical. I can help with a plan, if you need one.

GW? Ethan’s first thought was Gavin, but he didn’t think his father would be on this Signal thread.

BW

When he says “decent,” he means, “I can maim with a look and kill with a butter knife.”

Ethan chuckled. What in the world⁠—?

GW

Don’t give away my secrets, bro.

MW

I leave my phone for two seconds…

That had to be Michael.

DW

Mwah-ha-ha

GW

Is that supposed to be an evil laugh? I hear whining.

BW

DW

It was obviously an evil laugh.

DDW

I apologize for my idiot brothers. Gavin tells me you’re a physician. Good to have another person with a brain in the family.

Wait. Who was DDW? Apparently, not the same person as DW.

BW

[clearing my throat] PhDs are just as smart as MDs.
