“Good.” Gabe said rather ungratefully, as if he’d gotten what had been his by right to begin with.

"Now, I'll give you a ride home and we can talk more over breakfast, alright?" Xander said with a small smile.

“You should call Uncle Frank.” Gabe stared dispassionately. “To let him know.”

"He'll know when we get there." Xander said flatly. The words 'Uncle Frank' had triggered something in his mind; he knew he wasn't going to gain much being nice. He'd have to be at least as stubborn and tow-headed as his son, if not more. He wasn't going to let himself be bossed around, not by his own son.

“Wouldn’t you want someone to call if they found Maddie?” Gabe asked reasonably, only using the nickname because he’d forgotten if her name was Madison or Madeline. “So you could stop worrying.”

"Maddie's my daughter." Xander grumbled under his breah. "Besides, Frank's smart enough to figure out I'm either dead or I found you."

“Uncle Frank’s like my father.” Gabe pushed away from the truck, squaring his shoulders. “And even if he suspects, he doesn’t know for sure. Not calling him would be inconsiderate.”

"I'm pretty sure he's told you what a inconsiderate jerk I am." Xander said with a grin

“Well, I’m not.” Gabe frowned. “If you don’t call him, I will.” And if he happened to ask Frank to come pick him up while he was using the phone, well, all the better.

"Okay, get in the car." Xander said easily. "You can call him while I'm driving. That let's him know AND gets you home to him all the sooner."

Gabe shot him a do-I-look-stupid-to-you look, holding out his hand for the phone.

"Nu-uh, in the truck with you." Xander said with a smirk

“Phone first.” Gabriel didn’t move. “You’re bigger than me. You can put me in the truck if I don’t get in after I get the phone.”

"Yes, but I'm not going to." Xander said stubbornly. "I don't have any reason not to give it to you."

“Maybe,” Gabe frowned. “But I’m more trustworthy than you.”

"You ask your mom about that." Xander laughed, opening the driver's side door. "Actually, don't. At least until she's done being pissed at me."

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Gabe frowned, watching him.

"Get in and call your Uncle Frank and I'll tell you." Xander offered with a grin

Gabe didn’t sigh or frown or do anything that might be interpreted as defeat, simply getting in the passenger’s side like that had been his intention the whole time. He did, however, keep his hand on the door handle even as he held out his free hand for the phone.

Xander had the truck in reverse and was backing up even as he set the phone in Gabe's hand, grin not fading in the slightest
