Here is an extract near the beginning of the book which shows the three brothers, Michael, Lucian and Nate:
***
Nate’s spoon rattles, falling from his hand into his cereal bowl, mouth agape. Glancing over, Lucian sees Michael pale considerably.
“Holy crap!”
“Nathaniel,” Michael reproaches with an absent frown as he switches off the T.V., despite Nate’s roar of protest.
Clearing the table in silence, Michael avoids their stares. “Don’t believe everything you hear on T.V. guys. It wasn’t all they make it out to be.” He flicks a nervous glance towards Lucian before returning to the sink.
“You saved lives,” Lucian says, keeping his voice low, “Mine included. Everything they said about you was true.”
“He really saved you, Luce?” Nate asks.
“Sure did Natey. Like Superman to the rescue.”
Michael blushes, shaking his head, and Lucian smiles, enjoying seeing his older brother squirm for once.
Nate rockets from his chair, “Wait till my friends hear about this! Were you hurt?”
Lucian nods and pulls up his shirt.
“Wow!” Nate exclaims, enjoying the extra gory detail. He leans in, hand outstretched to touch the injuries.
Swatting a tea-towel Nate’s way, Michael groans, “Lucian, for crying out loud, don’t encourage him.”
Turning to Nate, Michael says, “Go grab your school stuff. We’re heading out soon so if you don’t want to walk, you better move your butt.”
Nate opens his mouth to argue but Michael cuts him off with an emphatic, “Pronto mister.”
