Chapter 5: There's No I In Team
The poolhouse was getting loud as the group of four were having fun. Marissa was starting to settle down after her little scare, Ryan was being the regular guy he always was, and Summereth were getting a little too close for the other's likings.
"So... what do you wanna do now?" Ryan said, trying to break the other couple up. "Watch a movie, play a game...?"
"Erm... I dunno what you wanna do, but I'm having fun over here." Seth was always more confident around Summer, and when he had his tongue down her throat, nothing was really going to get in his way.
"Did you just answer back to Ryan Atwood?" Summer backed off a bit and laughed, as Ryan stared Seth down sarcastically. "I guess under that sweet little cover you have there, there's a tough guy waiting to strike?"
"Well, you know..." Seth started going red, all this attention was too much for him. The other three laughed at his expense, and he just sat on the bed next to Ryan. "How about that movie?"
"I dunno, I'm having fun over here." Ryan joked. He wasn't used to being the one making jokes, but whenever he did, he made them count. "Alright, I guess we can do something else." Ryan jumped off the bed, quickly to be replaced by an eager Summer, while Marissa was being kind of quiet. She was still a bit distressed about the incident with Trey, but she had to get over it. He had gone, Ryan had convinced her that he wasn't going to harm her. And he was probably right. Trey isn't the kind of person to hit people, especially women. The punching area was Ryan's speciality.
"Ahhhh! Oh my god! What the hell is he doing here!?!" Marissa pointed at the door window, where Luke which Luke was banging on. Ryan turned round, and Luke asked him to come outside with a hand gesture.
"What does he want, man? I thought it was just us 4 tonight?" Ryan shrugged, and walked to the door. As he opened it, Luke pulled him outside. He was sweating, and trying to catch his breath. Ryan looked at him, and saw the orange uniform in his hand.
"I needed... to talk... to you..." Luke muttered, while Ryan grabbed the clothes and inspected it. Sure enough, the name 'Atwood' was printed on it, and before Luke got a chance to talk Ryan replied.
"I know, he's here. You saw him?" Luke put his hand on the wall, trying to get his breath back. He looked up, and noticed Summer, Seth and Marissa against the window. They quickly backed down, but when he stopped staring they rised up again.
"He went to... the town." Ryan was a bit shocked at that, but it was typical Trey.
"How come you have his clothes? Was he... like... strieking?"
"No, no man." Luke's breathing had returned to normal, and he finished off the sentence. "He got some new clothes. From... oh man you aren't gonna like this."
"Just tell me."
"Donnie." Ryan grew a fire in his eyes, and threw the clothes against the wall. He then started hitting the wall, until Luke restrained him. The other three, after seeing Ryan's mood, came out the poolhouse.
"What's wrong Ryan? Is it about Trey?" Luke was a little confused about that.
"How does she know about Trey?"
"Trey's in town? Oh cool, I've never met him." Seth had no idea what had happened, but after the Marissa, Luke and Ryan stared madly at him, he realized it was bad.
"Erm, hello? Who's Trey?" Yet Summer hadn't met his brother. In fact, she had no idea who Trey was.
"So where is he? Is he OK, is he hurt?" Marissa wasn't really concerned, especially since she had only met him on the inside of jail.
"He's with Donnie believe it or not?"
"Donnie? Oh no, man. So is he gonna be OK, is he gonna go back to jail or what?" Seth, no gradually realizing what was going on, got involved.
"Erm, excuse me. No one answered my question. Who's Trey?" Summer was starting to get angry, but everyone else was more worried about him, as they actually knew who he was.
"OK, I'll go with Luke and look around town, you two wait here." Marissa had that look in her eye, the one Ryan was familiar with. He answered her before she even said anything. "No, no Marissa. It's too risky. I don't wanna see you get hurt."
"But I don't want to see you get hurt either!"
"It's alright, we'll keep her company, right?" Seth turned to Summer, hands on her hips.
"HELLO! Who the hell is Trey?" Ryan and Luke had already set off for Luke's jeep, so it was safe to say without risking being stared down by Ryan.
"Trey, if you must know, is Ryan's brother." Summer stared as if it wasn't a problem.
"So?"
"Look at these, and try to use all your brain power to figure it out!" Seth wasn't in the mood for Summer's 'lack of intelligence'. He tossed her the convict uniform, and she looked at the name. A quick "Oh my god!" came from her mouth, and she looked at Marissa. She started crying, and Summer hugged her.
"So where do you think we should look first?" Ryan sped up the jeep, while Luke was figuring out where they could be.
"Erm... we'll check the parties on the outside of town. I doubt Donnie would take Trey somewhere near the middle of Newport."
They drove around the edge of their home, with no luck. That was until Luke heard some music from down the road. They backed the jeep up, got out and ran down the street. Sure enough, they arrived at a completely destroyed house. The music was blasting out of the windows, you could hear girl's screams from the back and the front garden was littered with smashed items and empty beer cans. So it was pretty safe to say that they might be there.
"Let's go, man?" Ryan was eager to get inside, but Luke had second thoughts.
"I dunno. You remember the last time me and Donnie met? It wasn't exactly pretty." Luke thought about the possibilities of him and Donnie together. It usually ended up with him getting shot, but the odd result was him just kicking Donnie's ass.
"OK, then why don't you stay out here? If he tried to get away, you can take him down?"
"Yeah, sure man." Luke was enthusiastic about the idea. He was about to get a big taste of what the Atwood family was like before Ryan made it to Newport. And he wasn't to pleased about seeing it. Ryan wanted to find Trey before he did any damage, however. He searched the house, and found him in the living room, drinking with some of Donnie's friends. Ryan started walking to him, until Donnie got in his way.
