Between the two, both Derek and Vivian would say that she was the more attentive. Always had one eye on the perimeter, always tracking the exits. Derek had learned at a young age that his sister was the perfect yin to his yang. Where she had natural paranoia and innate awareness of potential danger, Derek was curious to a fault and automatically assumed that everything would work out for the best. It rarely occurred to him that often his sister was the only reason anything ever worked out in his favor at all.
If they hadn't been arguing with each other on the drive home, maybe she would have noticed the SUV behind them, but they were arguing and she didn't notice it.
She did notice the midnight green Rolls-Royce Phantom perfectly parked in their driveway. The playfully sour attitude she had been giving her brother became deadly seriously in a flash. "Behave yourself" She pointed the car as they cleared the tree line.
Derek saw the car and his smile melted into an emotionless mask. "We've got nothing to worry about." He reassured himself.
Vivian snorted and looked in the rearview mirror. "There's always something worry about Derek."
She parked the car on the empty half of the driveway and the SUV rode to a stop directly behind the Volvo.
Vivian and Derek got out of the Volvo as the professional leg breakers got out of the SUV. Derek flipped them the bird on both hands and got no response. Vivian casually dug the Volvo's key across the pristine paint job of the Phantom.
The Phantom's passenger door opened and an older man with chalk white hair braided in cornrows that fed into a mohawk that trailed down his back. He glared at Vivian though custom sunglasses. "Must you?" He sighed with heavy annoyance.
She raised her hand with the Volvo key taking the place of her middle finger. "Paint for peace of mind Triton, If I don't get mine, you don't get yours." She didn't even look back as she stepped onto the porch.
"Bitch" Triton hissed. Derek stopped admired the damage his sister had done. "Oof, this one is gonna be expensive Toni." He smiled at Triton.
Triton glared at Derek. "Bite me pizza boy."
Derek smiled ear to ear. "That's "Prince Pizza Boy" Thank you very much." He gave an exaggerated curtsey.
"DEREK!" His sister shouted from the porch. "Quit screwing around let's get this over with." She growled and walked into the house.
Derek laughed and followed his sister.
