Ch. 3 two weeks later
Clay and Josslyn broke up at least for time in two weeks. I never really cared for Clay because he was cocky, and annoying. He would flirt with any girl that would show off. The problem was Josslyn loved to show off just to get a few guys looking her way. The girl was trouble and she didn't care. You would think I would be like that because my parents but I'm not which I find weird. It might be because my dad was once Jason Quartermaine the preppy, nice guy but Jason Morgan, all around bad boy. I have to have some kind of wild strike because of my aunts and my mom. But I can't find it. This sucks.
Today my mom is teaching me how to drive or at least helping me get ready to take my driver's test that was in a few days. You would think my dad would teach me since he has patients however, with me his patients' runs out real quick.
Sam looks behind the car and sees a line of people honking their horns at Cassie because she was holding up the slow lane.
"Honey speed up some," said Sam.
"But I'm doing the speed limit."
"If you were doing the speed limit you wouldn't have people honking their horns at you or passing you."
"I'm afraid to go any faster."
"Cassie you're not going to pass your driver's test on Wednesday if you don't do the actual speed limit."
I started speeding up and the cars behind me stopped honking their horns.
"That's better. " I can see mom looking at me at the corner of my eye.
"Just say it mom."
"I'm just thinking something must be on your mind because you're normally driving a lot faster than this."
"I just have a lot on my mind."
"Well were almost home so just wait until we get there."
"Fine."
Just when we pull up into the drive way I see Lucky Spencer and Dante talking to my dad and Johnny this can't be good.
I put the car in drive and step out of the car. mom looks like she knows what's going on if she doesn't she's going to find out soon enough.
"Hey Sam, Cassie,"said Lucky.
"Hey. What's going on," asked Sam.
"That's what we like to know," said Dante.
Johnny rolls his eyes and dad looks at me like I did something. when I just pulled into the drive way.
"it seems someone has been coming over to my house and taking files," said Lucky.
Did Lucky just now figure this out? Dude seriously Brandi has been stealing from you for months.
"So you came to talk to me?"
"Yes," said Dante and Lucky.
"Ok but what's Johnny doing here?"
"I'm here because you and Brandi are supposedly taking things from Lucky's office," said Johnny.
"Why would you accuse me? I've never been too your house before and I don't think that's going to change."
"You have never come over to the house to see Jake," asked Lucky.
"Why would I see Jake? He's three years older than me?"
Mom and dad look at each other then look at Lucky.
"Because he's your brother Cassie,"said Jason.
"You're just now telling me this!"
"We did tell you but you must not remember."
"Did you tell me when I was five or something because I really, really don't remember anyone saying that Jake⦠Jacob Martin Spencer. Wow now that should have been a clue other than the fact that we have the same eyes. Does he know?"
"Yes he knows," said Sam.
"Really because he doesn't act like it. I have a brother that lives in the same town but doesn't come and see me or any of his family members."
"Because Elizabeth and I did not want Jake to be a part of the "business" let alone the life that comes with it."
I should have known.
"What business? Coffee importing does not have include a dangerous life cop life however might be a different story."
"Cassie,"said Jason.
"What's the point Lucky," asked Johnny.
You got to love it when someone changes the subject I know I do.
"the point is either your daughter or Cassie has been stealing files from my desk or it's someone else."
"it's not me because I don't like Lauren."
"I'm aware of that Cassie. I'm also aware that Brandi and Lauren are friends."
"Well it wasn't Brandi either at least not that I know of."
"are you sure," asked Dante.
"yes. Brandi doesn't steal." Ok I'm sticking my neck out and Johnny knows it but Brandi is going to say it was probably me which is why Lucky and Dante are here.
Dante smirked a little then said, "That's funny?"
"What is, "asked Sam and Jason.
"Because that's why Brandi said about you Cassie, so either one of you is lying because you both could get access just by Spinelli getting on the computer and Brandi by going over Lucky's house. My guess is Brandi."
"So now you are back to accusing my daughter. You never think that it might not be Brandi or Cassie. It could just be someone else?"
"Like who?"
"I don't know pick one there's lots of psychos' out of the loony bin pick one."
Lucky and Dante look at each other.
You may have a point Zacchara but your daughter is our prime suspect until further notice.
Lucky and Dante got into their car and drove off.
"I really hate cops especially those two," said Johnny.
That make's two of us," said Brandi.
I looked at Brandi standing by Johnny.
"Where did you come from," asked Cassie.
"I was behind the bush. Thanks for covering for me. I owe you."
"you don't owe me just cover your tracks next time."
"I already did cover them. Don't worry I didn't put the blame on you I pointed it to Lauren since she was the last person to come out of her dad's office."
I rolled my eyes. It's amazing what kind of skim she can come up with that's just itching to bite her in the future. I walked into the house, up the stairs to my room and started looking at family pictures.
I couldn't find anything that had Jake but one picture. Jake must have been six because he was holding me. I kept looking for more pictures of him but there wasn't any. Mom and dad walked in my room.
"We really thought you knew about Jake," said Sam.
"I only have one picture of him and me. I have tons of pictures me with Michael and Morgan that I would call my real brothers but Jake really?"
"It's complicated."
"Then explain it to me dad."
"Elizabeth and Lucky were fighting a lot at the time so Jake would come and stay with us until you got Jake got sick. Elizabeth called one night and said Jake need stem cells and she wasn't a match and either was Lucky. Steve (Elizabeth's brother) tested everyone and no one was a match the last person was you so we had you tested and you weren't a match. It turned out that Lulu was a match but I really didn't get why so I researched it. It turned out Jake wasn't really mine after all. He was Lucky's."
"Then why did Lucky ask if I would go over to his house to see Jake?"
Lucky doesn't know that Jake is his son. Elizabeth never told him. At least that's what we think. If he does know then he might think that you would come over to see Jake. "
"Actually I think it's because of Lauren and he just said Jake. But that's my opinion."
"That's why I think too. "So how about we change the subject like what was bothering you," asked said Sam.
"well I decided that I'm not cut out for parties like I thought I was so I'm just going to stay with going to movies or the mall because parties have too much drama."
"I agree."
Sam and Cassie look at Jason.
"don't look at me I don't remember being your age."
