Outgrowth of the Brain

Although Alf, Bert, and Professor Maurice Masterson play minor roles in the Cloud Brother's lives, their characters are so interesting that I'm compelled to report what happens to them.
Every so often, between the Cloud Brother's main events, I plan to release a free short story. Here's the first, 'Outgrowth of the Brain', in which Alf and Bert find their new duties as private-security guards involves more than brute force and muscle.
