"Well, the guy was getting pretty old," Seth said.
"Seth! Have some respect please," Sandy said as he tried to comfort Kirsten unsuccessfully.
"I'm just saying that the guy was pretty old. Plus he had this nasty little vein that used to stick out of the side of his neck which really creeped me out." Seth said, rambling on.
"Seth, please leave. We'll talk about this later," Sandy said, with anger in his eyes.
"I'm sorry about the um loss," Ryan said awkwardly as he and Seth left the room.
"So the old man's dead huh?" Seth said, thinking.
"You're not even the least bit upset about this. I mean the guy was your grandpa," Ryan said as they went back to the living room.
"No, not really. You got to admit, that guy was pretty twisted," Seth said as they entered the room.
"What was that all about?" Summer asked.
"Oh, Caleb er I mean grandpa died like an hour ago," Seth said.
"What? Caleb died? How, I mean, what happened?" Marissa stammered.
"He had like a heart attack or something. Was it a heart attack?" Seth looked over at Ryan who nodded, "Yep, heart attack, it'll get ya every time,."
"I better get over to the house. My mom is probably freaking out," Marissa said in a hurry as she walked over to the back door.
"Wait. I'll go with you," Ryan said, concerned for Marissa.
"Yeah Coop, we'll all come," Summer said as she pulled Seth toward the door.
"Hey! I nev—"Seth protested.
"We're ALL gonna go with Coop, aren't we Cohen," Summer said in a forcing voice.
"Alright," Seth said under his breath.
"Ok, well, I'm gonna try to call Mom on her cell," Marissa said as she grabbed her cell phone out of her purse. She held it up and dialed the number. ring. ring. ring. hi, this is Julie Cooper, leave a message. "She's not answering."
Sandy and Kirsten came out from their bedroom. Kirsten wasn't crying anymore, but her face was still red. She say all the kids starring at her and she gave them a weak smile, and went into the bathroom. "Where are you guys going?" Sandy asked.
"We're trying to get a hold of my mom," Marissa said as she put her phone back in her purse.
"Well, that's the thing. See, no one's heard from or seen Julie since she made that phone call," Sandy said cautiously, trying not to scare the kids.
"What?" Marissa said, panicking.
"She's only been gone for about an hour, so we can't file any type of police report. I don't know if I should be telling this to you guys, but all of Caleb's bank accounts are empty." Sandy said, almost in a whisper.
"Whoa! You mean Julie fled with all of Caleb's money?!" Seth said loudly.
"Shhh!" Sandy said, as he looked at the bathroom door. "Your mother doesn't need to be reminded of it. She's been through so much over this past hour or so."
"I, I just can't believe it. She was so nice to be this afternoon. I guess it was all an act so I didn't suspect anything," Marissa said, her concern for her mother now turned into hate.
"Hey, are they sure it was even a heart attack? Maybe Julie put something into his drink and poisoned the old man," Seth said with wide eyes.
"Because of the circumstances, they are performing an autopsy on him in a few hours. Until then, we have no reason to believe it was something other than a heart attack," Sandy said.
Marissa stood there and shook her head. She knew her mother. She couldn't believe that she was so stupid as to believe the act Julie had put on. "I knew my mother was a gold digger, but I wouldn't imagine in a million years that she would kill someone over money."
"Coop, they don't even know that she had anything to do with it," Summer said, trying to say something to make Marissa feel better.
"Come on Sum! You know how my mom is," Marissa said.
Summer stood there and looked at the floor. Marissa was right and everyone knew it, but no one wanted to admit it.
"Marissa, if you want to stay here tonight you're more than welcome," Sandy said, patting her on the back, "You too Summer." "Thanks Sandy," Marissa said. "Yeah, thanks," Summer added.
"No problem. Me and Kirsten have to go do some legal stuff which will take awhile. We might not be back until late," Sandy said as he walked to the bathroom. He knocked on the door. "Kirsten! Come on, honey, we have to go." A few seconds later Kirsten opened the door and they left.
"I don't know about you guys but I sure am tired!" Seth said as he yawned.
"Cohen, it's only 8:30!" Summer said.
"Yeah I know, but it's not like I was planning on sleeping," Seth said with a sly smile.
"Eww you perv!" Summer said as she playfully slapped Seth. "Looks like I'm not gonna get much sleep tonight," Summer said as she rolled her eyes. The two of them walked upstairs to Seth's room and were gone.
Ryan and Marissa stood there awkwardly. "So are you um, tired?" Ryan asked.
"No, not really," Marissa said.
"We could go in the poolhouse and well, talk or something like that," Ryan said.
"Ok, sure," Marissa said as they walked into the poolhouse.
"So are you ok?" Ryan asked as they sat on the bed.
"Yeah, I think I'll be ok. At least I get to move back in with my dad," Marissa replied.
"Yeah, that'll be cool," Ryan said, careful of what he said so he didn't upset Marissa anymore than she already was.
Marissa laughed. "Why are we wasting this opportunity talking about my mom?"
"Huh?" Ryan said, unsure of what she was getting at.
"We're in the poolhouse, alone. No parents to walk in on us. Seth and Summer on up in his room doing well, you know. And we're just sittin here talking about my mom..." Marissa said in somewhat of a seductive voice.
"Oh..." Ryan said as he went in for a kiss. Marissa pulled back and unbuttoned his shirt. She smiled at his abs and chest. He threw his shirt on the floor and kissed Marissa for awhile longer and he put his hand up her shirt until before long her shirt was on the floor with his. Marissa started to unzip his pants. "Are you sure?" Ryan asked. They had done this many times before but nothing ever got past no shirts. Marissa just smiled. "Yeah, I'm sure." and she a few seconds later his pants were on the floor. And a minute after that, her pants lay on the floor. There they were, making out in nothing but their underwear, each silently daring the other to make the next move. Ryan finally gave into temptation and took off her thong which led to his boxers going off. Ryan and Marissa then made love to each other for the rest of the night. And then finally after both were exhausted, fell asleep.
"Hey!" Seth said as he and Summer walked into the poolhouse. "I made some killer scrambled eggs and—"Seth stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the two of them in the bed and the clothes on the floor. "Who taught you how to walk Cohen?" Summer said as she pushed her way into the poolhouse only to stop cold next to Seth when she saw the same thing he did.
"Ever heard of knocking?" Ryan said as he pulled the blankets over himself and Marissa.
"Ever heard of locking the door?" Seth said sarcastically.
"Give us a few minutes and we'll be in ok?" Ryan said.
"Ok," Seth said as he and Summer walked into the house. Ryan and Marissa got dressed and went into the house and ate some of Seth's eggs.
Sandy walked into the kitchen. "Smells good," he said as he put some on a plate.
"So Dad what's going on? What did they say about the old man? Was he poisoned?" Seth asked.
Sandy was surprised to be asked this so early in the morning. He put his plate down. "They found traces of a substance that could have been some type of poison that caused the heart attack. But the truth is we never will really know if that's what killed him or not. The medical examiner said that the amount of poison in a younger person wouldn't have caused a heart attack, but in an older person it could have. So there you go."
"What about my mom? Have they said anything about that?" Marissa asked.
"Yeah, they found your mom late last night. The police told us she dyed her hair black and had all of the money from Caleb's bank account with her. They said she was probably trying to flee the country and go to Canada."
"Seth! Have some respect please," Sandy said as he tried to comfort Kirsten unsuccessfully.
"I'm just saying that the guy was pretty old. Plus he had this nasty little vein that used to stick out of the side of his neck which really creeped me out." Seth said, rambling on.
