*Even though this story is already finished some days are missing. As we wrote this story in real time from August to October putting up an episode almost every day, real life would sometimes prevent us from finishing a certain day. So the episode might be a while before it is posted as Day 25 has yet to be finished. What we did with the website was considering we had people voting to evict a housemate between the Tuesday to Friday we would skip over that day that hadn't been finished and continue to the next day. We had a news section saying what was happening inside the house and references in the episode so readers generally guessed what happened on the missing day. So would you rather wait for Day 25 to be finished written - which I might add I don't know when it will be done - or would you prefer me to put up Day 26 but at the top of the page having the news listed as to what happened on Day 25? The decision is yours!*
DAY 24 - 10:24am
Day 24 in the Big Brother house. All the housemates are awake. Liz and Alex make breakfast while the others relax in the lounge area and in the garden.
Maria walks up to the counter as Alex assists Liz making breakfast.
"Guys, I was wondering can we have anything other than eggs today?" Maria asks.
"Uh-huh," Liz nods as she continues to cook.
Alex grins at Maria. "We're having pancakes!"
Maria rolls her eyes as she groans. "If we're not having scrambled eggs then we have omelates, and if we're not having that then we have pancakes! It's a vicious loop we're in."
Alex frowns at her. "Hey, what's wrong with pancakes? They are the best start to a day. They're everyone's favourite..."
"No, Alex, they're your favourite food," Maria says firmly.
Alex glares at her as he continues to help Liz. Maria turns to Laurie as she walks to the counter and stands beside her.
"Laurie," Maria begins. "What do you think of having eggs for breakfast?"
Laurie makes a face. "We're having eggs?"
"No," Alex answers. "We're having pancakes. There's a big difference."
Laurie sighs. "We're having pancakes?" She then sees Alex's look and forces a smile. "Good, we're having pancakes...again!"
Alex rolls his eyes as he turns away. Laurie shrugs as Maria giggles.
"Nice try at cover up there, babe."
"You could have tried harder," Alex calls to them as he puts a bowl into the sink.
Maria and Laurie laugh lightly as Liz shakes her head with a smile.
"I promise we'll have something different tomorrow," Liz says to them.
Laurie and Maria nod. Laurie then seems lost in thought. Maria notices this.
"What is it?" Maria asks.
"Nothing," Laurie says thoughtfully then turns to Liz. "Liz, if we don't have eggs for a couple of days do you think we'd have enough food to have something else?"
Liz nods to her. "Yeah, we've got enough in our shopping to go the rest of the week without them."
Laurie smiles. "Great."
Maria watches her curiously as she walks out into the garden. Laurie talks to Tess and Kyle who grin at her.
"What do you think she's up to?" Maria wonders aloud.
Liz looks out at them as they laugh. "I'm not sure. You can never tell what those 3 are going to get up to these days."
Maria sighs dramatically. "I think Laurie might be getting led astray by those 2."
Liz smiles at her and turns as Alex begins to speak.
"She's just opening up more," he says as he turns to them. "Personally I see that as a good thing."
Maria exchanges an amused look with Liz, and Alex walks outside.
As he walks into the garden he sees Laurie and Tess standing at the chicken coop looking in, while Kyle is inside the hutch.
"How many do we need?" Kyle asks.
Tess looks to Laurie who shrugs. "Just get them all," Tess replies.
Alex frowns as he walks over to them. "What are you guys doing?"
Laurie and Tess turn to him and then exchange smiles.
"We're going to have an egg fight!" Tess grins.
Alex raises his eyebrows. "Excuse me?"
"Laurie came up with this great idea for us to do this competition where we act like we're having a duel then turn and fire the eggs."
"Oh, did she," Alex says as he looks at Laurie who looks at him with a smile.
"We need a judge to make sure that everything is fair," Laurie tells him. "And I was hoping that you'd be it?"
Alex nods with a small smile. "Sure. This should be interesting so I'm definitely in."
Kyle comes out of the coop and hands Tess some eggs.
"This isn't just a ploy to get out of having pancakes is it?" Alex asks Laurie with a smile.
Laurie grins as she looks away. "Well..."
"We love your pancakes, Alex," Tess smiles.
"But there's only so much we can take before we start going nuts," Kyle adds with a grin.
Alex fakes a hurt expression. "Hey, pancakes are..."
"...the best start to the day," Laurie, Tess, and Kyle finish in unison.
They then laugh as Alex rolls his eyes. "Okay I'm in," he says as the girls smile at each other.
11:01am
All the housemates apart from Michael and Isabel are out in the garden. The group organize the egg dueling competition.
Alex sits on a deck chair in the garden. Tess and Laurie stand back to back to each other while the others look on.
"Now according to the rules you've got to walk 10 paces about turn and fire," Alex tells them in an official voice.
Maria frowns as she watches him. "He's really taking this whole judge thing seriously isn't he?"
"Yep," Liz grins.
Kyle tosses an egg lightly and catches it. He looks down at the egg that he holds and smirks. Liz sees him as he then looks mischievously at Alex.
"Kyle..." she says in a warning tone.
"What?" Kyle grins innocently at her.
"I know what you're thinking."
"Hey, I'm just going to help him lighten up," Kyle smiles.
Brody laughs while Liz sighs.
"Well, just make sure you don't hit him too hard," Maria tells him.
Liz's eyes widen. "Maria!"
"Well, he's right!" Maria says defensively. "He sounds like Big Brother over there!"
Liz looks at Alex who looks serious as he tells the girls the rules.
"Okay but remember not too hard and make sure his hand isn't touched," Liz orders him.
Maria turns to Kyle. "Yeah if his hand gets hurt then I will be kicking ass!"
Kyle nods to them both as he walks away. Liz, Maria, and Brody watch as Kyle slowly slips around to the back of Alex without being noticed. Tess looks at him with a frown and Kyle holds up the egg and points to Alex. She giggles lightly and nods. He moves around a little more so that he is in Laurie's view. She looks at him curiously and again he holds up the egg and points to Alex. Laurie laughs lightly as Kyle grins.
Alex frowns as he sees the girls attempt to stifle their giggles. He looks at Maria and Liz who are watching him curiously. He shrugs as he continues.
"You know I think they're all going to turn on him," Liz says to Maria.
Maria nods. "Well, if they do we've got plenty of eggs sitting here to make it more of a fair fight."
Both girls exchange wicked smiles as Brody folds his arms as he watches with a grin.
"Okay," Alex says looking at Tess and Laurie. "Let's begin. 1..."
Tess and Laurie begin to step away from one another with their weapons held up. Kyle now raises his egg as he stands behind Alex in the perfect postion as he is close enough to get a good aim, but far away enough so that the egg won't hurt once it makes impact.
"7..." Alex continues as he watches both girls.
Maria takes 3 eggs from the bucket beside her and hands one to Liz and Brody.
"9...10. Fire!"
The girls turn and Alex's eyes widen as they aim their eggs at him. He yelps as he feels the impact of an egg hitting him on the back of his shoulder, while an egg hits him on the front of his leg, and another hits him on the chest.
"Ready," Maria commands as she, Liz, and Brody aim their eggs. "Fire!"
They fire their eggs at an unsuspecting Kyle, Laurie and Tess who put their arms up to protect themselves as they are fired upon.
Kyle looks at them as he dives for more eggs. "Hey, you guys weren't playing!"
He grabs a handful and fires them at Liz, Maria and Brody before quickly retreating to stand beside Laurie and Tess. He hands them a couple of eggs each and they stand looking at the others.
Alex looks at them and shakes his head. "You turned on the judge! That's against the rules..."
Kyle throws the egg up in the air and grins at him, "You were a lousy judge. You were just begging to be pounded."
Alex looks at him and raises an eyebrow. "I was not a lousy judge."
Kyle looks at him and smiles. "You had bored us before we had even started pacing!"
Alex picks up an egg and throws it at Kyle who easilly ducks out the way but it hits Laurie who looks shocked. Alex smiles shyly and Laurie grins at him before throwing an egg back at him, which he jumps out the way of as the egg flies past him and smashes into Brody.
Brody looks at her and grins. "You guys looking for a war? Because you will lose..."
The others reply is to send another egg flying over towards Brody's head which smashes on impact. Liz looks at them disbelievingly and see's Kyle, Tess and Laurie cheering. Liz picks up some eggs and smiles at Maria as she sends an egg over straight at Kyle.
They all look at each other and they begin to move about trying to get into postion to get a clear shot. Egg's fly all over the place and all the housemates are laughing loudly as they get covered in eggs. Michael walks out and he see's the others all scowering about the garden. Maria immediately dives behind him as she is pursued by Laurie. Michael looks at Laurie as Maria tries to stay behind him.
"What are you doing?"
He steps around and Maria asks pleadingly. "Michael...please."
Micheal smiles at Laurie before turning to Maria. "Please what? I'm just trying to sit down..."
Maria holds onto his side. "Michael! Laurie's trying to hit me with an egg!!"
Michael looks at Laurie and she nods her head and grins. Michael smiles back and looks at Maria. "So, I'm here as basically a shield?"
Maria nods her head and smiles. "Yes! That's what you are...you know you could play the whole "brother" thing and demand she doesn't hit your girlfriend."
Michael nods his head and looks at Laurie with a grin. "I could...Laurie?" He takes a deep breath and puts on an insincere voice. "Could you please not hit my girlfriend with the egg..."
Laurie looks at him and he indicates with his eyes to give him the egg. She looks confused and hands him the egg she's carrying before backing off and grinning as she says. "Okay, fine. Maria, I won't hit you with the egg..."
Maria ducks her head up and smiles. "Really? Great."
Michael walks away from her and smiles before he turns quickly. "Glad to be of help. Oh, Maria?"
Maria looks at him as he fires the egg he was holding at her. "I really don't make a good shield."
Maria looks at him disbelievingly and Laurie laughs loudly as Maria grabs an egg and runs towards Michael. "Prepare to suffer Michael."
Michael runs backwards and easilly avoids her throw before he picks up an egg and looks at it and then to Maria who is charging at him. "Bring it on Maria..." Before he grins at her mischievously and he runs at her.
Isabel walks out and looks around puzzled. "What..."
An egg lands at her feet and she looks down to see Alex running over to pick it up. He grins at her. "Hi Izzy."
She smiles at him but he quickly gets up and runs towards Laurie where he backs her into the corner and holds the egg a loft with his good hand. "Okay Laurie, I'll give you one last chance to surrender."
Laurie squints as he prepares to fire.
"You aren't even going to defend yourself?"
Laurie looks behind him and then to him and smiles sweetly. "Why would I want to surrender?"
Alex looks at her puzzled as Tess walks behind him and throws an egg at him allowing Laurie to escape.
He turns to look at them both and shakes his head. "You double teamed on an injured man?"
Laurie and Tess smile and nod their heads before they corner him. He looks around desperately before looking towards Isabel. "Hey Izzy? You want to help out? I really could do with some assistance right about now..."
Isabel smiles and picks up an egg and throws it over at Tess. It smashes on impact and Alex cheers. "Nice throw!"
Alex takes the opportunity and throws his own egg at Laurie who is trying to defend herself from an attack from Isabel and Alex. Laurie looks at him and smiles. "Now who's double teaming?"
Alex grins at her warmly. "Well, I am injured..."
Isabel watches Alex smile at Laurie and turns away sadly before turning her attention to Brody who has just thrown an egg at her.
2.41pm
Liz is out in the garden walking along the edge of the decking trying to keep her balance as Maria and Michael lie down on the cushions trying to sunbathe. Kyle, Tess, Brody and Laurie are all in the lounge while Isabel is alone in the den. Alex is sitting reading on a deck chair.
Alex looks towards the den and bounces his leg nervously before looking back towards his book. He looks over the same page for a few minutes before looking back towards the den and sighing. He looks at his page again and shakes his head before putting it down and standing up and walking over to the den. He chaps the door lightly before walking in.
"Isabel?"
Isabel looks up from the back of the den where she has a book reading it. She smiles at him. "Alex, hi."
He walks in and stands inside the door and looks at her. "Hi, what are you doing in here by yourself?"
Isabel looks at him and smiles sadly as she moves forward towards the edge of the cushions. "I...just thought that it would be easier in here..."
He looks at her and sits down. "You want to be alone?"
She shakes her head. "No, it's just weird without Max in here...I'm just feeling a little bit...alone in here, I guess."
She looks down shyly and he takes a deep breath and says gently. "You aren't alone in here..."
She smiles at him. "I know I'm not, I have Michael...but he has his own problems in here..."
He puts his arm around her shoulder and hugs her close to him. "You also have me, I want you to realise that. No matter what happens, you can lean on me..." He blushes slightly as he looks at her. "Please tell me that didn't sound as cliched to you as it did to me?"
She laughs gently. "Well, maybe a little..." She looks at him gratefully and leans her head into his shoulder as she adds. "I know you'll be there Alex, you have no idea how grateful I am that you and I can still be friends after everything that has happened."
He smiles tenderly as he leans his head over to the side slightly and their heads touch. He squeezes her shoulder gently and she smiles as he begins to talk. "I'm glad that you know that I'm here for you, Isabel. No matter what happens..."
She nods her head and sighs as she closes her eyes. "I know..."
He pulls her a little closer and sighs deeply as he closes his own eyes for a second before lifting his head reluctantly away from hers.
Outside in the garden Liz is still busy with the decking. She has her arms extended on either side and she is singing gently as she walks along. Maria lifts her head and looks at her amused.
"Lizzie? You have been walking along that decking and singing that song for nearly an hour...are you not bored yet?"
Liz looks up and smiles at her before losing her balance and falling off the decking. "Maria, I was close to completing it that time."
Maria looks at her and grins. "What song are you singing?"
Liz smiles. "Dancing in the moonlight."
Maria nods her head. "Brody has been singing that all day. Okay, we have the song, now why are you walking the decking?"
Liz looks at her like its obvious. "I haven't reached the end yet."
Maria nods her head before she looks at her again. "You've been doing it for an hour and you haven't reached the end yet?"
Liz starts again. She speaks slowly as she takes careful steps. "It's curved and it's a lot of decking..."
"So you're going to walk that until you get right around it?"
Liz nods her head. "Uh-huh..."
Maria looks at her and smiles before laying back down next to Michael. She stays like that for a minute before sighing and standing up and walking over to the decking. She kicks her sandles off and stands with her arms extended and taking slow steps.
"Lizzie? I bet you I will get round all this before you do."
Liz stops half way round and looks at Maria. "What do you bet?"
"Hmm, if I win you give me your sunglasses, and if you win...I'll cook you dinner and I'll cover the first night shift at the Crashdown when we get out of here. That'll let you and Max have a little alone time?" Maria grins at her.
Liz looks at her. "You have been after my sunglasses since we came in here. I can't believe you forgot yours."
Maria looks at her. "But I sunbathe more than you do! C'mon, I'll cover the first 2 night shifts..."
Liz looks like she's considering it before she call's back. "You cover the first night and then the first weekend nightshifts, plus you give me that belt."
Maria looks at her disbelievingly. "Oh come on! All that for a stupid pair of sunglasses?"
Liz lifts the sunglasses of her eyes and sits them on her head. "You know what's great about these sunglasses? They double as a very fashionable hair accessory."
Maria looks at her with her mouth open. "Liz! Come on..."
Liz rolls her eyes. "Fine, if you win you get the sunglasses and I'll work the first night."
Maria grins. "Okay, let's try it. You need to start again."
Liz jumps off and walks over. "You should know that I'll win, I have been practising and I really want the belt."
Maria smirks at her. "You'd like to think that you'd win."
5.36pm
Laurie and Michael are outside in the garden. Tess is drying some washing using the mangle. Isabel, Alex and Liz are all preparing dinner. Maria is sleeping in the lounge. Kyle is in the boys room alone and Brody is playing a card game alone on the kitchen table.
Liz is wearing the belt she earlier won of Maria and is chopping tomatoes as Alex laughs with Isabel. He sighs and yawns loudly as he rubs his injured arm. "Man, I'm tired today..."
Isabel looks at him concerned. "Is your arm still giving you pain?"
He smiles weakly and nods his head. "Just a little sometimes...I think I might have jerked it earlier when we had the egg fight."
Isabel nods her head. Liz looks at him. "Alex? You really don't need to help out..."
Alex looks at her and puts a sad expression on. "You're throwing me out the kitchen? Again?"
Liz smiles at him. "No, what I meant is if you need to go lie down. Me and Isabel can make dinner."
Alex jumps down and hugs her lightly. "Thank you Liz..." Before smiling warmly at Isabel as he walks out the kitchen. He walks a few steps before turning around. "You guys need any help...there's your man." He indicates towards Brody who looks up from the table.
"You what?"
Alex taps him on the shoulder as he passes. "Make sure the girls don't burn the kitchen down, you know what like they are when I'm not with them."
Alex grins at the girls as he disappears. Isabel smiles at him broadly before getting back to to chopping the herbs. Liz looks at her.
"How are you feeling Isabel?"
Isabel doesn't move. "I'm...okay, I feel a bit better today than I did yesterday. Alex has been great."
Liz nods her head. "Yeah, he's a great guy. Both him and Maria have been great..."
Isabel looks down at her knife sadly. "What do you think Max's first couple of nights back in the real world were like? I hope my mom and dad are ok."
Liz smiles sadly and sighs as she answers. "I bet he was having fun..."
Isabel nods her head sadly.
Alex walks in the bedroom to lie down and see's Kyle. "Hey Kyle, what's up?"
Kyle looks up from his book and smiles at Alex. "Hey Alex, just reading. What are you up to?"
Alex holds up his arm and sits on his bed. "My arm is a little sore. I think I might have hurt it this morning pummeling you guys."
Kyle puts his book down. "You'd like to think you pummeled us wouldn't you?"
Alex nods his head. "Well, you guys got hammered but it became a bit of a free for all at the end."
Kyle nods in agreement. Alex sighs loudly. "So what are you doing in here by yourself?"
Kyle shrugs his shoulders. "At least in here I can get a little peace without the nippy comments from Isabel and Michael."
Alex looks at him. "They still at it?"
Kyle nods his head. "After I made the coffee earlier, Michael was his usual quiet self when he said to Isabel that a trained monkey could make a better cup."
Alex shakes his head. "They're just upset. I mean, Michael is "Mr. Personality" at the best of times, but Isabel is just upset."
Kyle looks at him. "I was thinking of hiding the tabasco sauce, but that wouldn't be good since then Tess couldn't have it." He smiles shyly as well. "Plus, I must admit to liking it as well."
Alex screws his face up in a horrified expression. "Please tell me you're kidding?"
Kyle shakes his head. "Nope...I'm kinda hooked..."
Alex shifts uncomfortably. "I tried it once, just out of curiosity. Gah...it was the most disgusting thing."
They sit in silence before Alex looks at Kyle. "So, are you going to talk to them?"
"Not if I can help it."
Alex looks at him. "That's not going to help."
Kyle looks back at him. "I tried to talk about it last night but you know what they are like sometimes..."
Alex shakes his head. "I'll talk to Isabel if you want? As I said she's just upset and venting..."
Kyle looks at him seriously. "Maybe, but it's not you that she's venting on. I don't care anyway, as I said to Big Brother, I only really care what certain other people in here think of me..."
Alex nods and smiles at him. "You don't have to put up with crap of anyone, if they dish it out they should be prepared to take it."
Kyle gets up of his bed and walks towards the door. "Yeah, they should. I'll see you later, better go face the music..."
Alex lies down on his bed as Kyle disappears out the door leaving him alone.
Outside in the garden Laurie is talking to Michael. Tess is still busy drying her clothes.
Laurie looks at Michael as she talks. "How are you feeling today?"
Michael looks at her and sighs. "I'm fine."
She looks at him awkwardly. "Are you still upset about Max?"
Michael shrugs his shoulders and looks at her. "I would have rather Kyle went out...he deserved to go."
Laurie sighs at him. "Michael..."
"Laurie you can think what you want, but he should have went and not Max."
Laurie shakes her head. "Fine, you can think what you want, but I don't want us to argue over it."
Michael nods his head. "Me neither..."
Laurie smiles at him and they sit in silence. She turns to Tess and call's her over.
Tess walks over. "Yeah?"
Laurie looks at her. "Are you busy? Because if you're not then I was hoping I could talk to you both about an idea I've been having."
Tess smiles and sits down and Michael sits forward expectantly. "What do you want to talk about Laurie?"
Laurie smiles at Michael and then at Tess as she takes a deep breath. "Well, you both know that I live out in Arizona, the thing is that..."
She looks at both of them and smiles shyly. "The thing is that I don't think I have anything left that's worth living there for, you know, all my family is no longer there..."
Michael nods his head and asks gently. "What do you think you might want to do then Laurie?"
Laurie takes another deep breath as she continues. "Well...I was thinking that I might move, and I was considering maybe moving to Roswell..."
Tess smiles at her broadly and a slow smile spreads over Michael's face. Laurie looks at this and smiles.
"So...what do you two think? You think it could work?"
Tess smiles at her. "I would love you to move closer, it would be horrible if you were living away in Arizona."
Laurie smiles at her gratefully and then turns to Michael who is looking at her happily. "Well, I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't be happy to see you closer, so you could say that I think it's a good idea."
Laurie leans up and hugs him tightly before sitting back down. "Whoo, so I could become a Roswell resident. That's...weird."
Tess smiles at her reassuringly. "I wouldn't worry about it, I travelled right around the country with my guardian as I grew up and that was harder, Roswell was my first real home and it was...it was hard at first, but I soon got used to it." She looks down and rubs her head before she continues shyly. "Well, maybe not that soon, it took a while for people to accept me. But you've already got a whole load of people who like you...so it should be easier for you."
Michael looks at them. "Well, I'm not going to say that Roswell is the most exciting place on the planet." He sighs as he continues. "I wanted to leave it for years...I wanted to go and find things...but now..." His voice becomes quieter. "Now, I'm not so sure. Now, I couldn't really see myself any place else..."
Laurie looks at him and smiles. "So you both think that it might be a good idea?"
Tess nods her head in affirmation. "Definately!"
Michael smiles at her. "If your sure...then I think it's a good idea."
10.08pm
Alex, Kyle and Tess are all talking quietly in the conservatory. Brody and Maria are talking in the lounge as Michael watches from the dining table as him, Laurie, Isabel, and Liz all play monopoly.
Brody is listening as Maria talks loudly. "And she took my belt!"
Liz call's over from the table without looking up. "You lost the bet, Maria."
Maria looks at her. "But you took my favourite belt!"
"You wanted my favourite sunglasses!"
Brody smiles at Maria. "You didn't bring sunglasses with you?"
Maria looks at him. "If you're going to be technical then no, I didn't...but I thought Liz would share more!"
"Maria, you've wore the glasses more than I have...just accept that you can't keep your balance as well as I can and I'll maybe let you borrow my belt sometime." Liz smirks.
Maria turns to Brody. "She was practicing for an hour."
"How long did it take for Liz to win?" Brody asks.
Maria sighs. "She got to the end after what, 50 minutes?"
"Give or take..." Liz call's over.
Michael roll's his eyes. "You two must really suck at that."
Maria looks at him. "It's hard...it's very curvy!"
Brody smiles sympathetically. "Maybe you should try and win the belt back? Liz would give you a re-match."
"No she wouldn't, unless it was for that purple top you have in with you," Liz call's over.
Maria shakes her head and puts on a whiny voice. "Liz!!!"
Michael sighs as he looks at her. "Liz, agree with her before she does that super-sonic thing..."
Liz looks at her and smiles. "I said I'd give her a re-match, all she has to do is bet her top..."
Maria smiles at her before sitting down and looking at Brody. "Do you see that, you wouldn't give those terms to your best friend would you?"
Brody smiles. "Well, I..."
Maria cuts him of. "Exactly." She pats his arm as she turns around to look at Liz. "See?"
Liz shakes her head and Maria turns back around on the chair and sighs as she lays her hand on Brody's arm. "It's no use Brody, Liz is stone-cold when it comes to bargaining."
Michael glares over at them as Maria smiles at Brody. He roll's the dice angrilly and it roll's of the end of the table.
"Nice one, Michael." Isabel says as she picks up the dice of the floor. She hands him the dice and he rolls them again without taking his eyes of Maria and Brody.
"You got a 7." Laurie says helpfully.
Michael looks at his marker and loudly moves it along the 7 spaces hiting each space hard before stopping.
"Bad luck Michael, you go to jail."
Michael glares at Liz as she says it cheerfully. "Liz? You could sound a little less happy about that."
Liz smiles and apologises as Maria laughs loudly from the couch. Michael looks at her and then to Brody who is smiling as he talks to her.
"Hey. Some of us are trying to concentrate here!" He glares at Brody who looks back at him apologetically.
"Sorry Michael, are you winning? Because you don't seem to be moving your...car."
Michael glares at him some more before muttering quietly so that it's inaudible to Brody and Maria. "No, I'm in jail for running amok and killing an annoying Englishman."
Liz and Laurie look at him disapprovingly and he rolls his eyes and call's over to Brody with a false cheery voice. "No Brody, I'm in jail at the moment."
Brody nods his head. "That explains a lot then..."
He sits back down and begins talking to Maria and Michael roll's the dice again while watching the two of them intently.
