Chapter 10
Let the Games Begin
Steve O'Brien walked outside Adrienne's Club searching for his older sister. He only saw glimpses of her the whole evening, and now that the club was closing Steve had caught wind of a huge party in the brewing. His only problem was that he did not have a ride. He searched the sidewalks, wondering where she had went when he say a flash of red down the block.
"Marie!" He yelled as he began to run.
She turned around and sent him a weird look. "What?" She yelled back.
Steve ran to her side. Steve's brown eyes pleaded with hers, "INEEDTOGOTOKENWALKER'SHOUSEBECAUSEEVERYONEWHOISEVERYONEISTHERE!ITISONLYALITTLEPARTY.WILLYOUGIVEMEARIDEMARIE?" he said in one breath.
Marie toyed with her long brown hair. "Can you toss that by me one more time?" She asked her brother.
Steve took a deep breath and tried again, "I need to go to Ken Walker's house because everyone who is anyone is there. It is only a little party. Will you give me a ride?"
"Let me think about this…No" she said.
Steve stomped his foot against the payment ready to battle. He ignored the fact John and Julie were staring at him oddly. "Why the hell not?"
Marie shook her head, "Because a 15 year old should not be going to a keg party, that's why. Honestly Steve, if Mom and Dad found out, what would they do to me for allowing you to go out partying!" she sent him an aspirated look.
"Oh come on Marie, you know they won't be home tonight! Their social events never end before dawn. Besides you can tell them I didn't tell you."
"Steve, read my lips…NO! Just because you are a selfish brat doesn't mean I should jeopardize my hide so you can be with the in crowd."
"Oh I hate you sometimes!" He cursed. "Why can't I have a normal sister?"
"Why can't I have a normal brother?" She retorted while looking up at the stars. "Anyway, my car is at home. I got a ride."
Steve looked confused. "I thought I saw those two arrive before you." He pointed at Julie and John.
"Well yeah creep. I got a ride from Bobby Drake."
"Bobby gave YOU a ride?" He acted shocked.
Marie sighed. "Is it such an amazing thing?"
"Yes."
Marie felt her head heat up. "Oh, shut up."
Steve looked over to Julie with a pleading face. "Can you please take me there?"
Julie shook her short red hair. "Sorry little buddy. Marie is right." She tried not to laugh at his expression. His face was full of hope and despair.
John just rolled his eyes as he began walking back to Julie's car. They all piled in. Julie started the ignition and maneuvered the SUV onto the expressway. Steve argued with his sister in the back. He tried every tactic know to man: pity, accusations, and threats. Marie just let every comment roll down her back like water off a duck. She was sad to say but Steve would thank her one day. Gosh, she sounded like her mother. She went to get her house key out of her red purse when she realized her purse was missing.
She looked around the floor before she hit her head on John's seat in frustration. John looked back. "What's the matter?"
"I lost my damn purse."
Julie pulled off the expressway. "Did you leave it at Adrianne's?"
Marie growled. "No. I left it in Drake's car."
Julie sighed. "Do you need it tonight because I need to get home soon? I start work at 7 tomorrow."
Marie turned to Steve. "Not if wonder-boy remembered his key."
Steve tried to contain his smile. "Sorry Sis. Left it on the key rack."
"You can always stay at my place." Julie offered.
"Both of us? I don't think so. No, I have to get in touch with Bobby tonight. Maybe he is at home." Marie went to grab her cell phone but remembered that it was in her purse. "Does anyone have a cell phone?"
John handed over his. With one deadly look at her brother, Marie dialed the number Steve told her.
"Bobby, how many times do I have to tell you I did not call the cops?" The teenaged voice answered the phone.
"Sorry? Hello. Umm…I am guessing Bobby is not there." Marie sent her friends an odd look.
"Oh sorry, you would be assuming correctly. This is Ronny speaking. You know Bobby's better looking, smarter, more talented brother. How may I help you?" Ronny said jokingly.
Marie bit her lip. She remembered Ronny from her dreams. Just a coincidence. "Actually I left my purse in Bobby's car and I kind of need it to get home. Do you know where he is?"
"Do you mean physically or mentally?"
"What?"
Ronny laughed. "The last time I talked to my brother he accused me of turning him in to the cops because he could freeze things. Mentally I would say he is in a Sci-Fi movie."
Freeze things. Marie thought. No, it couldn't be. "Actually, I was just wondering where he was physically. I assume that is where his car would be."
"Hold on Melissa" Ronny yelled at a giggly voice on the other side of the phone. "Sorry, umm Bobby mentioned going to Ken Walker's house. He wasn't planning on going home so I guess he is there. Your guess is good as mine where the car is. Oh I got to go! Do me a favor and make sure Bobby boy doesn't drive. He seems to have one to many drinks if you know what I mean!" Ronny's voice seemed serious. "Who am I talking to anyway?"
"It's Rogue. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it." She hung up the phone. Julie raised her eye brow through the review mirror. "What?"
"Rogue? Since when?"
Marie didn't even relies she said that. "Oh, just so he doesn't know I called him. Anyway go to Ken Walker's house. I need to crash a party momentarily."
Steve started to cheer. "Awesome."
"No, I am just going to get my purse and then leave."
Steve began to mutter again while Julie looked at her clock. "Marie I really need to get home. Do you think you can get a ride home if I drop you off?"
Marie nodded. "Don't worry about it. I will call a cab from the house; I have my money in my purse."
Julie managed to U-turn to go the direction of Ken's house.
After Steve and Marie stepped out of the car and waved Julie and John goodbye, they started the climb up the driveway. Steve was so exited he was almost skipping, but Marie was weary of the noisy house and drunken sounds.
She ran her hand through her dark hair. "Let the games begin." She muttered. "Let the games begin."
AN/ No drunken Bobby this chapter but it will happen next chapter! What will happen? Hehe! Keep on reviewing my wonderful reviewers!
