It pained Jeff to see his brother like this, helpless, defenceless, ALONE.
Matt was meant to be the strong one, full of wisdom and courage, and yet, he was stumped. Jeff wished he could take this away, carry Matt's burden just as he'd done for Jeff so many times.

"Matt, don't give up, it's her word against ours, we will find a solution."

Matt looked up at Jeff, his chocolate brown eyes full of hurt and pain, but one thing that hadn't been there earlier, HOPE.

"Thanks for all this Jeff, I couldn't do this alone."

"It's the least I can do for you Matty, after everything you've done for me."

Matt smiled weakly and Jeff helped him to his feet.

"We'd be out with Ad' and Jay now if this hadn't happened" Matt said unhappily, "Jeff, we have to have as many people on our side as poss. The more who are against Trish the better our case, right?"

"I guess, but there aren't many peeps here, it's gotten quite late you know."

"Jeff, I wanna go home, think things over, I want you to go try an' find as many people who don't believe Trish as possible, right?"

"Cool, I get to play spy guy!" seeing Matt's serious expression, "alright, chill, I know it's important, I'll be sensible, try and relax ok?

"Ok, but I cant promise anythin'." Matt gave a small grin, and he already looked better, some of the warmth and cheer back to his face.

"Thats the spirit, have a nice night, to quote Mick... sorta."

Matt gave his little bro a playful shove and said "Go on then, get goin'!"

"I know I know, places to go, people to intimidate!"

And Jeff turned and ran down the corridor.

Matt watched Jeff go, so thankful Jeff was with him on this one. Eventually as Jeff was outta sight, Matt turned and headed for his locker room, he needed to get his stuff before headin' home.
********************

Trish watched Jeff go and swooned at Matt through a small crack in her door.

*So close and yet, so far* Trish thought bitterly. *I could have sworn that my plan of enticement would work, but he pulled away, damn him, how could someone I care for so greatly, hurt and dispise me so much?! I'll make him love me, if I have to follow him to the ends of the universe and back, he's just playin' hard to get!* And with that in mind, clomped over and slumped on her couch and drained both glasses of champagne.

Jeff stepped into the chattering bar in the center of NYC where the guys came after shows sometimes, the music loud, the chatter louder.

A small hush gathered when a few saw him, but the regulars and stars were used to 'celebs' like himself.

He sighted Farooq and Bradshaw of the APA sitting with Jackie and Adam and Jay. He picked his way through the crowd and said "Hi guys." Loudly above the noise.
They turned to look at him and only Jay said Hi back.

Jeff pulled him to one side as the others resumed talking.

"What's up with them?" Jeff queried.

"Oh well' Ad is just peed 'bout Matt and Aimes, Jackie on Amy's side of course and APA are slightly drunk and pissed with Matt too!"

"God, Jay, he didn't do anythin', Trish set him up, tryin' to steal him from Aimes."

"I'd love to believe you boy but, your his bro, you'd stick up for him no matter what!"

"Actually, I was as pissed as you guys but when Matt explained-"

"You kissed and made up" Jay finished

"Why are you bein' like this? Matt is one of you and Adam's best friends!"

"I know but Ad has always had a thing for Amy and if Matt was two timin' her it hit's too close for him."

"Why can't you guys give Matt a chance? Let me explain..."
********************


Matt reached his locker room and pulled out his key, he swung the door open and slumped into a chair, exhausted from the events of the day. As he reached for the sports bag with his stuff in it he saw a note attached to it.

I know Trish's secret, and I think I can help you Matt. If you are interested, meet me in the parking lot at 12 tonight.

"What the?" Matt trailed off.

*Guess it couldn't hurt*

He looked at his watch "11.30 I should get movin'." He pulled on a new T-shirt and picked up his bag. He headed out to meet the mystery note leaver.
