Devlin kept his apartment very simple. if only the kitchen and bathroom were not in it it'd look as if the room were a tent. furnished in simple camping gear. folding chairs and a cot in the corner of the room with rustic looking blankets and quilts at the foot of the cot was a duffel bag.
The reason it looked this way was Devlin didn't have any furniture with him or any he owned for that matter.

Entering the apartment slowly Devlin sat down on his cot and slowly began to take his boots of he'd already thrown his overcoat onto one of the chairs and was going to get comfortable before he made that phone call. once he'd finally gotten down to just his trousers and tunic Devlin reached over for the phone all the wall he had to call his daughters and Ginger to tell them the news. He took a deep breath as he dialed the number and listened to the tone.

The girls had raced each other to the phone. It was easy to tell because when the phone was picked up there was a sound of struggle. "Ana" "and" "Emma" "here" The said both apart and together. It was probably a tug-o-war between each other over the poor phone.

Chuckling to himself at their fight over the phone Devlin cleared his throat after a moment "Girls girls calm down it's no one special just your dad." He said knowing how they'd react to it. he hadn't talked with them for a few months so he was going to enjoy the conversation.

"Daddy!!!" The twins exclaimed with excitement. One of the most have pushed the speaker button so they both could talk together without fighting with each other. "Emma your stepping on my sari." Ana snapped. "Sorry." Emma replied back.

Devlin chuckled some more over the phone glad he'd taken the sweaty and hot gas-mask off. "Hey girls calm down calm down, and get your mother i got some news for all of you." he said smiling some he couldn't honestly understand the kind of cloths they wore traditional Indian garb, he obviously proffered a uniformed look which was comfortable and practical considering his past.

"Mom!" They called out together. "Daddy" "Wants to talk to you" The girls called out to their mother. Ginger had little choice but to walk over to the phone. "What is it?" She asked her girls and their father. She was a little bit busy with somethings.

"Well, I have a new job, considerably less dangerous than the last one, and it has certain benefits for the girls." he said drawing it out as he lit a cigarette in his apartment. and took a long drag. "I'm teaching at a very good school, and the principle offered to let Both Ana and Emma be taught here for free." he said after a moment his mild voice having only gotten deeper as the years went by since the last time He'd spoken with all three of them.

"Oh!" The girls said together before their mother stopped their cheering. "What type of school is this? Will they be living with you if we chose for them to go there? What about medical school for Ana and Fashion school for Emma?" The woman badgered her former lover for information.

Devlin smiled "Well, it offers a variety of classes and courses. From the classes I saw offered they will have plenty of opportunity for whatever they chose tin life. "And, they wouldn't be living with me They'll get a dorm to themselves, all be it, I'm not that far away." He said admitting. and clearing his throat, "If its of any importance this is a school for rather gifted people." He said after a moment and cleared his throat crushing the cigarette. "Kind of like Harvard or Yale."

The offer was tempting. They could go to a nice school for free meaning both parents could safe up for something nice down the road for them to buy. "What do you think girls?" Ginger asked her children. "Please can we go?" They asked together. "I'm fine with it."

Devlin smiled "Thank you Ginger." he said after a long moment Wondering how the girls would like the school. "And, from what The principle says he has a daughter and niece of his own around your guy's age." he said hinting at a possible friendship but it was of course all up to the younger people. "And you never know you might meet some other people as well, so when i can expect the both of you?" he asked

"They can leave as soon as they pack their things. So what is the name of this school so I know where to sent them?" Ginger asked Devlin. She hadn't even heard the schools name. There was no way that she would just sent her kids in blindly.

"Reeds." Devlin said slowly after a long moment as he began to pace back and forth in his apartment glad there wasn't any carpet the sound of his boots tapping against the floor calmed his nerves slightly and kept his Hand which held the phone from hurting

"That is a really nice school. I promise to have them there in not later than four days." Ginger promised. The woman would probably have them there by tomorrow evening. She just knew what to do when it came to traveling. "Girls why don't you guys go pack while I talk to your father." The woman said ushering them off.
