Ethan Sebastian
It was a round about way to find out his little brother was in town. It wasn't that Hayden had told him. Or even his father, who apparently knew. His father had replied "It's none of your business when it's Atharim business." But Hayden had opened a bar in the Red Light District. Safe Haven or some bullshit like that, another Atharim safe house without all the weapons and gear, just a safe place to spend the night. His father didn't care, Hayden wasn't a great business man, but ran several bars around the world and usually lived above all of them when he was in town.
Hayden had forsaken the name running away from what father had wanted. But he was still in his good graces and Ethan hated him for it. He got everything he wanted and then some and Ethan had to work for every drop of respect. Their father had always loved Hayden more. Even Mia and Ivy saw it, though they loved their little brother.
A meeting ran late, and then there was an emergency phone call and lunch came later than usual. Ethan was more than an hour late and when he called down to the Sebastian House to check if Hayden were still there he was surprised to find that he was sitting at the bar chatting it up with the bartender when he wasn't busy.
Ethan rolled his eyes and pulled on his coat jacket then headed down stairs via the eleveator. It wasn't long before he was waltzing up to his brother "Brother."
"Ethan, nice of you to show up."
"Some of us have jobs."
