Hayley looked in disbelief.
Standing in the elevator was her younger brother Drake.
"Why are you here?" She asked, still shocked by her siblings presence.
"Because I have some bad news" His voice wavered and began to break.
Oh, this can't be good
Hayley motioned towards the sofas, but Drake shook his head. Several saints were hanging there, including Shaundi, Pierce and Oleg, who were playing chess. Well, Shaundi wasn't but Pierce and Oleg were.
"ok, we'll go to my office then" She sighed, making to walk up the stairs, checking Drake followed her. He didn't know the penthouse because he wasn't a saint, he was in a small time street gang in Stilwater...it was so well known, it didn't even have a name.
"Ok, what do you want?" Hayley sounded so much older than the last time they had met...she looked different too. Her hair was now bleached properly, so you couldn't see any of her natural hair colour (auburn), and she had a tattoo on her face, as well as her legs and Drake was sure he could see one on her back just coming out below her biker chic jacket. She also had a nose stud now as well as her eyebrow pierced, but she'd taken out her lip ring.
"M...Mom and Dad died..." Drake looked at the floor; clearly no one had ever taught him that men didn't have to act strong all the time.
"Really, you interrupted my day to tell me that?" Hayley shook her head and crossed her eyes, before starting to leave the room.
"Aren't you upset?" Drake was slightly disturbed at how she had such a little reaction to this. Hayley stopped, turned and slapped Drake.
"Course I ain't fucking upset! I hate those bastards and how you and perfect Daxus got whatever you fucking wanted when I had shit! Why the fuck do you think I danced on Daxus' fucking grave when I found out that boat explosion had killed him!" Hayley's expression was as hard as stone. Her eyes conveyed pure anger and evil, so much that Drake thought he should run out the room before she killed him, but she just pushed past him anyway.
Why do you always have to be stuck up about them?
Hayley went and sat with Shaundi and resumed the conversation they were previously having,
"Yeah, one of my ex's said they hate the lube stuff because it doesn't taste as nice as...you know" Shaundi nodded as she spoke.
"Shaundi, we are trying to have an educational game of chess here, the last thing I want to hear about is your sex life!" Pierce groaned.
"Fuck off Pierce, it's mine and Shaund's conversation, not your, mine and Shaund's" Hayley laughed and Shaundi giggled as they continued to talk about sex,
"Hey, you moved 2 pieces...and that queen was not there!" Oleg shrugged and continued to rub his chin trying to interpret Pierce's next move.
"Ah-ha!" Pierce went to move his queen into a position that could only mean one thing: Checkmate, but just as he was about to say the game ending phrase Oleg kicked the table and all the pieces fell over. Pierce just glared at Oleg, maybe one day they could have a decent game of chess where nothing would interrupt it and no one would cheat.
Drake came down the stairs and walked up to Hayley, before yelling a load of obscenities and other things that he was saying so fast no-one could understand. All the saints looked in shock, they had never heard anyone shout so loud, but Hayley just sat there, cool as anything.
"Yo, Drake...I hate to break it to you again but, I fucking hate them both! I couldn't give a single shit if they were dead or not!" All the saints knew Hayley hated her parents, and assumed the deceased in question were them, but she was their daughter, surely she would care.
"You're a heartless, psychotic bitch...you know that right." Drake sounded so cold then, hell could probably freeze over 800 times from the chill, and all Hayley did was shake her head and told him she knew she was. Drake stormed out and went into the elevator just as Hayley's boyfriend vacated it.
"Hey Ben!" She jumped over the sofa and ran into her boyfriends arms,
"Hey babe, what was that about?" He asked, looking down at his girlfriend who was almost as tall as him.
"oh, my brother came to tell me my parents died"
"Oh...I'm so-"
"Don't be...seriously, don't" She pulled away from him and went to her office.
Everyone in the room stared at Ben, who looked entirely bewildered.
"What are you staring at?" He asked, and how he and his girlfriend shared the ability to say one thing and get the gang to do it was anyone's guess. He went upstairs after Hayley.
Man, now is probably not a good time...
What was he planning
