Chapter 12 When Things Ain't Right
Kenny was trying not to get involved, he really was. When Rei had called the meeting with Mr Dickenson without Kai Kenny had reaklly thought that Rei had found out. It would have been a relief to know that if the truth about Tala and Kai came out he would not have been the one who blabbed.
But Rei had called the meeting for a different reason.
It was well known that as Voltaire had been taken in to custody and Kai had know living relatives that they knew of Mr Dickenson would become his temporary guardian. It was natural then that Rei would now bring any Kai related problems to him.
So he had brought all of them. The drinking that Tyson had noticed, the eating disorders Rei had seen and the sex poor Max had witnessed.
If ever there was a time to tell the others what he knew it would be then. He wondered how they would take the news. Tala was in love with Kai. He'd nearly had a heart attack and he wasn't nearly as prone to over reacting as Tyson. And Rei, what would he and all of his mothering think of that.
Kenny would not say anything. Not only did he have too much respect for Kai...but well he was just plain scared of him. Besides Tala may be in love with Kai but that doesn't mean he'd think twice about ripping Kenny's throat out.
Bryan was not what you would call the most social of people. He barely spoke and when he did it was always in opposition of some ones ego.
But he wasn't blind. He'd been in the Abbey just as long as Kai and Tala. He'd seen what was growing between them when they were together and apart. He'd seen what it had done to the both of them.
You could see written all over Tala plain as day that he was in love with Kai. More in love than was probably healthy.
What you couldn't see, no matter how hard you tried, was how Kai felt about Tala.
Bryan was not close to his team captain. Bryan wasn't close to anyone. But he felt like Tala at least deserved a chance. He had formulated a plan. With the trusty aid of alcohol (of course) he would find out once and for all if Kai liked Tala. Even if he had to beat it out of him with the bottle.
He hoped he would have to beat it out of him with the bottle.
