Ray's POV~

We head out to a small local grill and bar place to get Oliver some food. As well as us since we ditched the school food for Oliver. I don't know what the hell happened, but I will make sure Michael and Jake find out. Because I will not let this slide. Even if I don't have powers like those two do, I need to do something.

Once we got in, we got ourselves a table and all sat together. Of course Richard sat next to me. Michael and Jake were both sitting next to Oliver, giving him emotional support as Oliver tried his best not to sob in front of anyone. Richard and I both reached across the table and touched Oliver's hand.

"Don't worry. We'll find out what bastard is causing this. You're still new, but the four of us know that the school isn't normally like this. Right, you two?" Jake and Michael nod in agreement.

While rubbing circles on Oliver's back, Michael leaned close to Oliver, setting his forehead against the top of Oliver's. In a whisper, I could hear him speak to him.

"Yeah. The school is never like this. We will find out who did this. Even if I got to work with pupsicle over here."

With an irritated tone, Jake then replied back to Michael out loud. "I heard that, you know. And I admit, we should work together to find out who's doing this. Even if I have to work with the Thor wannabe."

This made Oliver smile and chuckle a bit. Probably because of the insulting names they gave each other since they were pretty silly. This caught the attention of the both of them, making them both hug him gently.

Oliver seemed comfortable in their gentle embrace and lightly rested his head in Michael's arm and held onto Jake's. It was a pretty cute sight, to be honest.

Soon, our food came and we all started to eat together. Oliver got a plate of chicken nuggets as well as a baked potato and some broccoli. Michael and Jake both got a chicken sandwich with some fries and a fruit cup. Richard got a burger with some mashed potatoes and some dumplings. I got a small steak with a baked potato and a small cup of chicken cream soup. We also got two orders of mozzarella sticks.

After we ate, we got the bill which was paid by Michael. After they argued over who would pay for it. And not by saying they should pay for it. They both offered to. Probably because of Oliver. Their crush on him is quite obvious. Innocent Oliver really hasn't seemed to have caught on, however.

We soon left and headed to Oliver's place. When we got there, we head inside. Richard and I already know his parents, so we don't have any problems. Jake and Michael, however, was a different scenario. You could see in their eyes that they were very, very nervous.

Once they gathered their confidence, they walked up the porch steps and headed inside after Oliver let himself in. Once we head in, we sat on the couch. Jake and Michael just stood there awkwardly as Oliver went into his parents bedroom to get them.

Soon, the both of them came out. Oliver's mother and father. Oliver's father was a very handsome man. He was currently wearing jeans and a black tank top, which was a bit uncommon for him since we've only ever seen him in a suit. His mom was very pretty and had the nicest smile in the world. The same smile that Oliver has.

However, the smile soon changed to a concerned frown as she noticed the four of us in here. Oliver's father too was concerned. Oliver set his hand on Oliver's shoulder and asked he went to his room. Oliver was reluctant, but nodded and went up to his room.

This made Michael and Jake both fidget around nervously. Oliver's parents both took a breath before walking over to Michael and Jake. Michael and Jake were very nervous, until they each grabbed one of their hands and began to shake it. Both of their tails wagging fast.

"Hello there! I'm Veronica Samson, Oliver's mom. Nice to meet you and I hope you've been treating my son well." Michael chuckled nervously and nodded.

"My name's Christopher Samson, Oliver's dad as you might guess. I'm glad to see my son made more friends." Jake nodded with a slight smile.

Soon the both of them were pushed onto the couch as they began to talk about how Oliver talks about those two a lot. However, I interrupted the ranting. Those two were always such extroverts, unlike their son.

"Veronica, I'm sorry to interrupt. But we got some... bad news." Her ears went up in alertness at the words 'bad news.' Christopher looked over at me with a slight frown.

"Oh? Did something happen at school?" I nodded my head and let Richard continue.

Richard's POV~

"You see, we went into school today, and things were different. People were staring at Oliver. And not in a good way. They were all looking at him like he did something wrong. And when we got to his locker, it was vandalized. Badly."

Christopher looked at me with his eyebrow lifted in curiosity. "How bad was it?"

I gulped nervously to tell them the news. But they had to know. "There was... threats. Insults. And even death threats. And when Ray tried to find out who it was, he got sent to detention for cursing. And Oliver..."

There was concern in Veronica's voice as she spoke out. "What about Oliver? What happened?"

I sighed. I can't believe I'm telling them this. I felt Ray set his hand in mine as I held it for the emotional support. I leaned my head against his shoulder and Ray finished for me.

"He was suspended for two weeks. Because the teacher thought he did it. And when he tried to explain himself, the teacher refused to listen. But this teacher isn't one to do that sort of thing. So we think something is up."

There was tears in Veronica's eyes as she heard what was happening. Christopher looked down in disbelief.

"There's no way Oliver would do that sort of thing to anyone. He's too innocent to even think such a thing. I hope it stays that way..."

Michael and Jake was alert at the last sentence. Jake asked what he meant out of curiosity. I have to admit, that was weird. He said it as if something happened.

However, after asking, Oliver's dad didn't say anything and just brushed it off. Weird.

Oliver was soon asked to come downstairs to ask his side of the story. And it was just as we told it. However, he also told them what happened at lunch. And what the teacher said after Jake told them he didn't get to eat. They nodded their head.

"Oliver, we know you didn't do this. I'm upset anyone would even think you did. Why were they bullying you at lunch? Did they say anything?"

Oliver looked down and tears started to fall as he walked over to Christopher and hugged him tightly. Christopher just hugged him back as Veronica did too.

Oliver then said what they said. And we were surprised what he said.

"They said you were a mafia boss and that you killed people. I'm scared for you, dad. What if someone tries to hurt our family because of that stupid lie?" Christopher rubbed his back and chuckled.

"We won't let that happen. After all, we have two furs with powers to protect us, right?" Christopher looked at Michael and Jake.

The both of them nod with determination in their eyes. Veronica then walked over to Michael and Jake and hugged the both of them.

"If it isn't too much to ask, do you mind staying awhile? We'll need the protection. And if what Oliver said is true, then we can only really rely on you two. You don't mind, do you?"

Michael and Jake shook their heads no. They both stare at us as we looked back at them.

"Richard, clear my modeling schedule. All modeling will be postponed until we figure out what's going on. And we will be protecting Oliver and his family." I nod my head

"Ray, you heard him. Same thing." Ray nodded and we both cleared their schedules.

We will find out who's doing this. And put all this bullshit to an end.
