Once they were back from Miami, he settles back into his room. His job here was pretty much done and he felt a restless need to wander. Always the loner, it wouldn't be too difficult to just pick up and go. He'd miss the brotherhood, Gods would he ever. But he just couldn't stay where there was no need for him any longer. Besides, he'd made a poor president of the brothers and they'd almost fell apart under his tutelage. It was time to go.

Just like a bandaid, make it quick and get it over with. So he pulls out a pad of paper and begins to write.

"My brothers, my friends, my heart,

With the changing of the guard, I do wish you all the best. However, my time here has come to an end. I shall miss you all. Jaden, lead them well. I chose you for your level head and how easily you get along with your brothers. Gage, even with your hot head, you're a natural born leader. Keep strong for your brothers. Dirk, you're such an idiot, but the freshmen think you're awesome. Keep the blood alive with fresh recruits. And Nate, keep them all safe.

My friend Eddie shall be treated as any other guest here.

I'll not say where I'm going, for I do not know myself. Maybe, someday, we'll all meet up again somewhere. But for now, it is goodbye.

Russell Edward Green."

He places his pen down and waves the paper to dry before folding it. Grabbing up just his back pack, he walks out to the living room and places the note on the mantle. He slides out the door and into the night.
