"Alright girlies! Hit the showers and meet me back at the bleachers!" Whitey yelled.

"Why?" Nathan asked.

"Smart people don't ask questions. They just listen and do as they're told," he replied.

"Hey dad!" Alex Scott greeted her dad in her usual cheery voice. She had just gotten back from the airport after an unbelievably long flight.

"Who the fuck are you?" Dan asked.

"She's your daughter," Deb answered. "And I thought I told you to stay away from the alcohol today."

"You can't tell me what to do, I don't live here anymore!"

"Dan you're DRUNK! Don't say stuff you and I know you don't mean," Deb warned.

"What are you talking about?!" Alex butt in.

"Nothing." Deb quickly replied. "Your father and I are talking about nothing."

"Okay," Alex wasn't convinced. "What are you two arguing about?"

"Deb, just tell the girl that Nathan and I don't live here anymore, and that she has an older half brother." Dan demanded. "She's gonna find out one way or another."

Deb raised her voice, "Let me guess, you want me to tell her that Nathan took performance enhancers too, or that you're living a lie and you didn't injure your knee permanently in college?"

"ALEX GO UPSTAIRS!" Dan ordered.

"I thought you didn't live here anymore. You can't tell me what to do." Alex said in her cocky voice.

"Alex go upstairs," Deb ordered.

"Fine."

Alex climbed out of her window on the second floor into a tree. She wanted some answers and she wanted them now and she was going to get them. First, she had to go to the high school because her brother probably had practice.

"Okay, I don't care if you're a cheerleader, or a basketball player, or just a person that has nothing better to do this weekend. All of you will be on your best behavior at the conference tournament." Whitey spoke to the cheerleaders and the team. "You will follow all the rules or I'll put your sorry ass on a bus ride home. Now all of you get out of here."

People started to leave in all directions when Nathan called out Lucas's name and every one stopped dead in their tracks.

"What do you want man?" Lucas asked Nathan.

"There you are you mother fuckin liar!" Alex shoulder while jumping on to Nathan's back.

"What the fuck?!" Nathan yelled.
