Jupiter opened his eyes a crack and sighed. He looked at the phone on the bedside table and narrowed his eyes at it. He didn't know why he was angry at the phone, but he was. Maybe it was because he had a whole other day until he could talk to Carmen on it.

He was paranoid that something had happened to her. He would have swung by in his sister's car if he knew even what section she lived in. But no. She didn't even know. Which wasn't good. Does she even know her street name or house number? He groaned and sat up, running his hands through his hair. Suddenly the phone rang.

Jupiter stared at it for couple rings, not sure whether it was his imagination or if the phone was actually ringing. The phone went quiet for a minute and Jupiter shook his head. "What…" The phone started to ring again and he snatched it up. Pressing talk he lifted the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" he asked. "Jupiter?" Jupiter groaned. "Yeah Lais it's me, who else would be answering my phone?" Lais chuckled on the other end of the phone. "So, you're still in Las Vegas?" "No shit Sherlock," Jupiter muttered. "What was that?" Lais asked. Jupiter sighed. "Yeah, I am." There was silence on the other end of the floor. "When are you coming back? Dad's kinda pissed that you just left without a reason," Lais said. "I thought you said you'd cover for me!?" Jupiter exclaimed, jumping up. "Bro chill I did! But he's not buying it! Even he knows that you don't have many friends outside of Niki."

Jupiter sighed and paced across the room. "Tell him…" He sighed. "Tell him I'm visiting my girlfriend." Dead silence on the other end of the phone. "Tell him… what?!" Lais shrieked. "Lais please!" Jupiter shouted. "Make it sound convincing please!" He could hear Lais breathing heavily on the other end of the line. "Lais?" "Jupiter you're insane. He would buy it more if I told him that you were there picking up hookers and smoking pot while banging some humans!" she hissed.

Jupiter groaned. "You had to go there…" he muttered. "But you see my point don't you!" Lais yelled. "Yeah! Yeah I do! You do realize that if I don't do something now he's gonna fry my ass when I get home!" Jupiter snapped. "Please Lais; you have to help me on this one!" "Bro, I am. But you have to help me help you." Jupiter sighed and leaned again the door. "Fine then… if that won't work then… Just… Just don't tell him anything. Let me talk to him." "You're going to talk to him?" Lais said sarcastically. "Sure bro, sure you are."

Jupiter stood up, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, I am. And by the time I'm done he won't bug me ever again." "Don't try another suicide note, please not another suicide note. That didn't even faze Dad but it freaked the hell out of Mom," Lais begged. "No, no. Don't worry about it Lais. I've got this covered." "Well good luck and I can't wait to see that results. Call me after you're done with this wonderful plan of yours." Jupiter laughed. "Will do sis, will do. And could you do me a favor?" Jupiter asked. "Sure…" Lais replied slowly.

"Take a picture of his face when he gets it." Then he hung up.
