Bray looked up from Amber when Lex barged into the room.
"Don't you ever KNOCK?"
"You wouldn't have answered," Lex shot back bluntly. "Look, I don't have time for this, ok? And, your little girlfriend, or co-tribal-leader, or whatever you wanna call her has NOTHING I've never seen before."
"GET. OUT." Amber growled through clenched teeth, clutching a pillow to herself.
"Look, I have BUSINESS, you two. Or, did you decide that tribal business is no longer important in the face of a good f---"
"LEX!!!" Bray burst out. "Oh, for..." he sighed. "What is it?"
"OK, your brother, right? Mr. 'King of the Locos'?"
Bray sighed, thinking of his brother, formerly known as Martin, now Zoot, who declared himself King of his tribe, the Locos. A tribe of feral dogs, practically. Behind the scenes, Ebony, his lover, was co-leader, and she was pure evil, but she used her exotic beauty to get what she wanted when strength could not win out.
"What about him?" Bray asked, wearily.
"Remember his bitch?"
"Ebony? Of course I---"
"No, the other one. Jaffa."
"Lex..." Amber interrupted, wrinkling her nose.
"Lex, despite what you think, my brother does not go both wa---"
Lex broke in. "We all know the truth about him, Jaffa has even decided to move him from 'King' status to 'deity'. He's started this shit trying to get Zoot to call the Locos 'The Chosen'; so HE can be his right-hand, rather than his left..."
"You're sure about this?"
"Positive. The guy's out of his tree; Ebony doesn't want it, of course. Not because he's nuts, but because he'd be one step above her, rather than below."
Bray groaned, flopping back on the bed. This was just bloody LOVELY...

Later on that day, Lex was walking down to find KC, when he bumped into Ryan.
"Lex, we have to talk."
"Security breech?"
"No, it's KC."
Lex stiffened defensively.
"What about him?" he asked.
"Lex, you're... he's... he just does whatever the hell he PLEASES! He tried to run out of the middle of Sal's class today."
"Look, the kid knows how to read, right?"
"Well, yes, but---"
"And, he knows how to write; hell, he has a better handwriting than ME. He also knows how to count, because he handles money a lot. He's fine. Stop trying to force this shit that won't help him down his throat."
"Lex, if it were the old time---"
"Yeah, well, it's NOT the old time. And, he's MY kid, not YOURS," Lex said, angry. Pal or not, KC was HIS KID, and Ryan needed to realize that.
"Fine, Lex," Ryan said quietly. "I'll tell Salene to let him out of 'detention'---"
"You PUNISHED him?!" Lex exploded.
"Well, we would've the others---"
"The others aren't MY KID BROTHER," Lex growled. "What did you do?" he demanded.
"Lex, he's a kid; once in a while he needs a little---"
"And, that part is up to ME to do; no one else."
"It wasn't a big thing, really..." Ryan said, seeing Lex was pissed enough to knock his block off. "Sal just took the ruler to his palm a bit, and then made him stand in the corner." He admitted, watching Lex for a reaction...
