Lorelai knocked on the door, her mother came quickly. "Come in and hurry. Richard seems to have some news and I do not want to miss it."
Lorelai and Rory looked at each other both knowing this was a little strange. They walked in and saw Richard on the telephone and Emily standing behind him. "Really?"
"Really, what Richard what is he saying?"
"How did he do it?"
"How did he do what?" Emily said.
"Well thank you, that was an event I would not want to be out of the loop about. See you at work." He put down the telephone.
"So what happened?"
"Yes, the world has stopped just to hear what you have to say." Lorelai said with a smile.
"Well talk about it at dinner. That's why you are here any way." He got up and walked into the dinning room all three of them followed.
Rory whispered to her mother. "Isn't the suspense just killing you?"
"It's like a bad horror movie." They both laughed.
Everyone sat down at the table. Emily looked impatient. "Richard, will you please tell us what is going on?"
"In a minute Emily these girls came to eat and I would like them to get something to eat. Can you do that?"
She calls in the cook and they all get their food. "Ok we have her food now can you tell us what happened?"
"With pleasure, it's seems that a business partner of mine was robbed of all of his money by his son."
Emily looked shocked.
"How did he do it?" Rory asked interested.
"It seems he'd been taking the money the whole time little by little, the old men didn't realize it till yesterday."
"Who was it, Richard?"
"The old Du Grey fellow, Rory I think you know his grandson."
"Yes, I do I go to school with him. You said this all came out yesterday."
"Well they didn't actually tell anyone till today. You know I think it was the kid you know who's father it was."
Rory got pale. "Are you sure?"
"I think so, the guy said that he had a son named Christian? I think."
"Tristan?"
"That's it. Rory are you ok? You look pale."
She got up. "I will be. Mom, can I borrow the keys to the jeep? I need to go some where's, now."
"Um... sure. Rory, are you sure about what you are doing?"
"I'm sure that if I do not I'll regret it."
"Ok, well take the keys. I'll call Max, he can take me home."
"Thanks." She left.
"Where does she thinks she going?" Emily asked annoyed that she just got up and left.
"To follow her heart." Was Lorelai only answer.
"So what is it that you want me to help you with?"
"Well first this coffee sucks. You should try something different."
Luke got mad. "Who are you and why do you think you can tell me how my coffee should be made? People seem to like it."
She turned around and waved her hand to the few people in the place. "Yes, I can see the few people in the city are lining up around the corner just to get it."
"Friday is a big night in this town."
"Right, look let me try something and I promise you'll like it and so will the three customers you have."
"Ok, try it. I mean what do I have to lose."
Rory walked up to the door of the Du Grey mansion. It was one of the biggest houses she had ever seen and it looked like no one was home. She knocked on the door. A maid came to the door. She looked upset. Rory could hear screaming in the background.
"When were you going to tell me what was going on? I'm just your wife, it's not like I should know that you are a cheating scumbag!" She said sarcastically.
The maid looked at Rory worried. "You sure you want to come in here?"
"I'm just here to see Tristan."
"Come in, I'll try to get him, if I can."
She could still hear the scream.
"You are no better then a common place thief! You know your father is going to disown you and what do you expect me to do? I bet you expect me to take Tristan. Well he's going to end up just like you and I'm do not want another scumbag with me."
Tristan walked into his parents' room. "Can you two stop! Nothing else has happened yet and mom you do not know grandfather is going to disown him."
"You stupid fool! How can you think he will not do it! He has no reason not to and I have no reason to stay!"
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
"I'm leaving. I am not going to be left broke when your father's world comes crashing down. But do not worry about you, you are grandfather will probably take care of you."
The maid comes in. "I'm sorry to interrupt but Master Tristan has a visitor."
"You idiot! You invited someone here. Do you want everyone to know what is going on?" His mother said.
"Mom, I didn't know any one was coming. I didn't tell anyone I promise."
"You liar!" She slapped him.
His father grabbed her arm. "Get out!"
"With pleasure." She said as she left.
She passed Rory on her way out. "You are stupid to even think to get involved with my son, he's no better then his father." Then she slammed the door.
The telephone rang. His father picked it up. "Hello? Father, yes… Look…. What you can not…. That is not fair… You are not taking him… What do you mean it is your duty! He is my son…" Tristan looked at his father worried. "Your grandfather would like to talk to you.
"Grandfather, what… but I want to stay here with dad… What do you mean I can not… You can not come over here, now… What!" He slammed down the telephone. "He said he's sending some to get me. Dad I do not want to leave."
"Tristan, you have to go. You do not want to be with me I am just a broke thief. I want you to make more of yourself and your grandfather will make sure of that." He hugged Tristan.
"Do you think you can leave me alone for a little but, I'm not good at long good bye's." His father said.
Tristan nodded and left the room. He walked down stairs and was shocked to see Rory sitting on his couch.
She went over to him. "Take me away from here I do not want to be here when my grandfather comes."
"Sure." They headed off towards the jeep and drove off if they had stayed a second longer they might have been able to stop what was bonded to happen.
