The Kings Of Cool

He knows his old man.

Knows him in the way that only blood can.

The shared secret code hidden deep in deoxyribonucleic acid.

DNA.

Fathers and sons are really brothers

Twins of the double helix

Fates twisted around each other

Inseparable

Inextricable

He knows his father would not have come unprepared to this feast because he wouldn’t

Knows that his father cannot let it end here

Because he couldn’t

Knows that he now has to do

The one thing

That will cost him more than he can pay

And that he would never do for anyone

Not even himself

But will do

For Ben

Go to his father’s house

And ask

For mercy.
