“I know who can help” Billy said. “Seth, he can help.”
“Wait, who’s Seth?” Jim asks.
“He’s my ½ brother. He’s big and smart and old. He’s 16.”
Jims not sure he likes the sound of that but before he could say anything further Billy dropped him back into the bucket and got up running down the beach. The bucket swung back and forth tossing Jim within. It occasionally hit Billy’s leg adding even more turbulence.
A few yards down the beach Billy began yelling out, “Seth ! Seth ! Wait til you see what I found on the beach!” he gasped for air as he reached the spot his older brother was playing with some other boys.
“What do you got squirt ? Some shells?” he asked. Seth was only his ½ brother but after both Billy & Seth’s moms left them both with Steve their dad, they knew they had to stay close even though Seth was actually a very mischievous kid. Be did adore Billy. Mostly because he liked being looked up to. It made him feel strong and powerful.
“Yeah I got shells but something even better too” he shouted and tilted the bucket for Seth to look in.
Seth squinted to look into the bucket, the sun partly in his eyes. He then focused in on Jim. His eyes widened. “What the…….?”
“I know isn’t he cool?” Billy said.
“Is it real?” Seth questioned.
“Yeah go ahead pick him up”
Jimmy tried to dodge the boys hand but it was no use.
