Dynasty nudged her head slightly. Eyes closed, she felt the comfy mattress supporting her. As the memories from last night came flooding back to her, she smiled weakly her herself. Head buried in the pillow, she inhaled, breathing in the sweet scent of the pillow. It was like a dream. Slowly, she opened her eyes and felt Kevin's hand gently squeeze her arm. Groaning happily, Dynasty put a hand on his chest and closed her eyes again. She could feel the sun heating her back at it shone through the window onto the bed. 'What time is it?' muttered Dynasty. Kevin lifted his head slightly so that he could read the time on his clock. 'It's… half past six.' Dynasty grunted before sitting up. 'I've got to get ready for school.'
'We've got hours,' sighed Kevin.
'But it'll take me hours to put on all of my makeup,' replied Dynasty. At this Kevin opened his eyes and smiled at her. Exhaling deeply, he said, 'but you're already pretty.' Dynasty broke into a wide smile. Beaming, she leaned down and gave Kevin an affectionate kiss before getting up and giving him a hushed goodbye.
Making sure that no one in the house, especially Maggie, spotted her, Dynasty made her way downstairs and out of the school house.
'Where the hell have you been?' Exclaimed Barry as soon as Dynasty entered their house. Dynasty didn't answer immediately. Instead she just smirked at him, 'why would I tell you.' Barry clenched his fists menacingly. He didn't like people trying to be smart with him. Nevertheless, Dynasty, who was used to her brother bristling in anger, ignored him and made her way upstairs.
Barry watched her go upstairs, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. Had she been to see Kevin? Barry, who was already dressed, went outside and, making sure that no one was eavesdropping on him, leaned against the garden fence and held his phone up to his ear. 'Steve-O, you there?'
A low growling 'yes' answered him.
Grinning evilly, Barry murmured, 'want to know where that Kevin kid lives?'
'How much will it cost?'
'Give me a 50 and he's all yours.'
Once in the school grounds, Barry walked briskly to the side of the school building, where he'd be able to get Steve-O alone. Rue to his word, Steve-O was waiting behind the building, grinning greedily, 'so, you've got information for me?'
'Cash first,' growled Barry. Steve-O handed Barry the cash. Stowing it away in his pocket, Barry stepped closer towards Steve-O and said in an undertone, 'Kevin lives in the schoolhouse, on the second floor. It looks like him and Dynasty still have unfinished business.'
Snarling Steve-O hissed, 'thanks. They won't know what hit em.'
As Steve-O stalked away, Barry turned around and shouted after him, 'wait, you're not going to hurt Dynasty are you?'
'No promises,' smiled Steve-O maliciously.
'But we agreed!' protested Barry, 'we agreed that you could do what you wanted with Kevin, just so you didn't hurt Dynasty.'
Steve-O didn't reply. He just walked away, leaving Barry standing there, shaking in anger and fright.
