Part 6: The Secret Society:

Rory took a sip of coffee. Her grandfather and her had been talking for a good hour and hadn't brought the subject of the wedding back up much to her relief.

"Well, I think that's a wonderful topic to write about, Rory. How high school students change upon entering college."

"Yes, it's a good subject, But I'm almost done with the article and I can't, for the life of me, figure out what else to talk about." Richard got a smile on his face.

"You know, when I was at school there was a rumor going. Buzzing along everywhere I went. Everyone talked about it." He saw he had caught Rory's interest by the way she sat up and the way her eyes lit up. Yes, his granddaughter was a born reporter.

"What was the rumor Grandpa?" She asked leaning in as if in conspiracy. Richard leaned in as well.

"Well, it was said that there was a secret society at Yale, going back all the way to when the school itself was founded." Rory leaned back. She had had her own run in with a secret society and it had led her down a path where she hated bells. Any bells, small, large, she hated them.

"A secret society?"

"Yes, I think they were called "The Life and Death Brigade". LDB for short. Rumor has it that they have done so many crazy and illegal things that if the police ever got a hold of their records, oh, we'd be in trouble." Richard smiled, then caught his mistake. He looked at his granddaughter who had a smile on her face.

"We'd? Grandpa, are you telling me you were part of a secret society!"

"Shhh." He said looking around. Rory laughed at her Grandfather as he shifted in his seat. "No need to announce it to the world, there's a reason it's called a secret society." Rory laughed.

"Sorry." She bent down and grabbed her notebook from her bag. "So, tell me all about it." She said positioning her pen on the paper. Richard smiled.

"Ever the reporter."

"You know it." She said.

"Look, I can't tell you anything here. But I've already told you the name. Now I can call some contacts of mine and maybe get you an invite to the next LDB event."

"Really?" Rory's eyes widened in excitement. Richard loved seeing his granddaughter like this and had a feeling she hadn't done it in a while.

"Really. Be ready for anything." Richard said.

"Why do I have a feeling that you said that for a reason?" Richard smiled again.

"Maybe I did. Just be patient, do your research and be prepared." Richard stood up, paid for the coffee and scone and kissed her granddaughter's cheek. "Oh, and remember, your Grandmother is planning an engagement party." Rory winced. "So be prepared to deal with that."

"Grandpa?"

"Yes."

'Do you think we could keep this lunch to ourselves?" Richard nodded.

"Of course, it's the least I could do." Rory smiled.

"Thanks." Richard gave her another kiss

"I'll talk to you later, Rory."

"Bye Grandpa." She watched as he walked out and towards his car. Rory smiled. A secret society. Her Grandpa had been in a secret society, who would have thought. She packed up her things and walked towards her car. She got in and went towards the club where Hep Alien was playing to buy the tickets. She parked in the lot, got out and went to the bar.

"Rory my lady, what brings you to my humble abode looking as hot as ever?" Rory smiled and gave the man a kiss.

Cameron Shanny was the owner of The Hot Rod and had been her friend ever since she started Yale. She had gone out with Paris and Lane and a couple of guys had harassed them and Cameron put a stop to it. They had become fast friends seeing as they read the same books, saw the same movies, and listened to the same music. Everyday he would have a different fashion from baggy jeans to leather pants to fishnet shirt to no shirt. Rory loved him. He had piercings everywhere. Eye, lip, three on his left ear and four on his right, his navel and had the ear gages. And Rory couldn't forget the two nipple piercings. She looked him up and down. Today he had a purple Mohawk, a leather vest with no shirt showing off his red dragon tattoo and nipple piercings and tight leather pants with combat boots.

"Awesome outfit Cam." Cam looked and shrugged.

"I got lazy this morning and put on what was on the floor."

"Oh well, in that case you look like crap."

"Thanks. So what can I do you for." Before Rory got a chance to answer her cell rang. She smiled when she saw the name on the caller ID.

"Boyfriend?" Cam asked

"Maybe." She answered the phone. "Hey baby." She said. Cam smirked.

"Rory?"

"What are you up to?"

"Rory, you take after your mother." The person on the other end said.

"I know, I miss you too." She said keeping eye contact with Cam.

"Who the hell are you talking to?"

"No, what are you wearing?"

"Okay Rory, who's the boy?"

"Daddy?" Cam asked. Rory hit his chest pushing him back and when she pulled back he winced. She laughed as she realized that her bracelet got caught on his nipple ring.

"Oh, just a sec dad, I got my bracelet caught in Cam's nipple ring." She said.

"WHAT!" She heard her dad yell.

"Ha, I knew it was your dad." Cam teased. She unclasped the clasp of her bracelet and let him take it off.

"Sorry daddy. How are you?"

"How are you! Jeez, Rory, you tell me you got your bracelet stuck on some guys nipple ring and you expect me to say fine!"

"It's Cam, not some guy." She could see her father rolling his eyes. "Sorry. I didn't mean to give you a heart attack."

"Damn right, you almost did. You know you got a lot from your mom like your way with sexual undertones." Rory laughed. Cam got the bracelet off and clasped it back on her wrist.

"You keep your hands away from me." Rory rolled her eyes and turned back to her conversation with her dad as Cam went back to restocking the bar.

"So, how are you?"

"I'm good kid, I'm good."

"And Gigi?"

"She's good too."

"Good. So did you want something or did you just want to hear my voice?" Christopher laughed.

"No I wanted to ask you something. The first being how are you?"

"I've been better." Rory admitted.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"No worries. What was the second?"

"Oh, what are you doing this weekend?"

"Well, today is Thursday, my classes got cancelled for the weekend and tomorrow so I'm free. I might just study and work on my new story for the YDN. Why?"

"Well, I have to go away on business and if you're not going to Stars Hollow for the weekend I was wondering if you wanted to go to New York with me. Gigi's sitter got sick and who better to look after her than her own sister, right?"

"Right."

"So what do you say?"

"I say yes. Just as long as I'm back by Sunday night."

"Why, what's Sunday night?"

"Lane's band is playing at The Hot Rod and I promised her I'd be there."

"Got it. Well, I'll be done by Saturday night and if not then we'll figure it out then."

"Well then, sounds like fun. I'm in. I need to get away form New Haven for a while."

"Okay then."

"I'll come by tonight, say sevenish?"

"Yeah, we can leave for New York tonight." Rory smiled.

"Okay, bye dad. See you soon."

"Bye honey." She hung up and looked at Cam who was smiling at her.

"Told you it was your dad. So what can I do for you?" Rory shook her head and went on with their conversation

"Well, I need tickets for Lane's band."

"Okay, I can do that. How many?"

"Well, let's see." Rory took out the yellow legal pad and read the list. "Me, Paris, Doyle, Stephanie, Logan, Colin, and Finn. So that's seven" She said.

"Okay then, the total is one hundred and five dollars." Rory nodded and got the cash out of her wallet and handed it to him. He handed her the seven tickets.

"Thanks Cam."

"Anything for my favorite girl."

"Hey, think I could work here for an hour or so?" Cam nodded.

"Go ahead. I'll go get you some coffee."

"You're a savior Cam!"

"Ah, you say that to every guy who brings you coffee."

"And I only mean it with you!" Cam shook his head and went to the back. Rory took out her laptop and disk and began typing the rest of her article.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cam had kept the coffee coming and had kept her in conversation for a few hours. When she looked at her watch she found that it was already five o'clock. Finishing the last sentence of her article she pressed save and turned it off. She bid farewell to her friend, telling him she'd see him Sunday and strode out to her car. She got in and drove back to Yale. Once there, she walked into the newsroom and printed her article and put it on Doyle's desk. An hour early, she was good. She dug around her bag and went over to Logan's desk She put the four tickets on his desk and wrote him a quick note.

Logan,
Here are the tickets. The concert is Sunday night. Meet me at The Hot Rod at seven.

Rory.
PS You still owe me sixty dollars!

Rory hoped that Logan would come to the newsroom before Sunday and get those tickets. She walked out and towards her dorm. She opened the door and saw Pairs and Doyle cuddled up on the couch watching TV.

"Don't you two look cute?" Rory teased.

"Shove it Gilmore." Paris said. Rory laughed.

"Doyle, I left the article on your desk." Doyle checked his watch.

"An hour early, I'm impressed." Rory rolled her eyes.

"Thanks. Look Paris, I'm going to be in New York for the weekend with my dad. I'll have my cell on in case, but don't call unless it's an emergency."

"You mean me and Doyle have the dorm all to ourselves."

"Yes. Feel free to sex it up all you want. Just stay out of my room and off my bed." Rory warned. "If I see any of Doyle's little men on my bedspread, there will be hell to pay." Paris looked up at her and smiled knowing that Rory was kidding.

"You got it." Rory smiled back and went to her room to pack." Twenty minutes later, a record to be placed in the Gilmore's Hall of Fame for the quickest time to pack, Rory walked to her car and put her bag in the trunk and got in the car. She smiled at the thought of seeing her father and half-sister. She pulled out of the Yale parking lot and made her way to Boston.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Logan knocked on Rory's dorm room. He wanted to see if she wanted to go out for some coffee or dinner. When no one answered he knocked again. The door opened to reveal Paris standing there with a man's button down shirt that ended mid-thigh.

"Hey Paris. Sorry to interrupt."

"We were just getting started. What can I do for you, Huntzberger?"

"I was wondering if Rory was here."

"If she were here you think I would be answering the door in Doyle's shirt?" Logan mentally cringed at the visions going through his head of his fiancée's roommate and his editor.

"Right. Do you know where she is?"

"New York with her dad." Pairs answered.

"Does she have her cell."

"Yep, but only using it for emergencies. Now if you excuse me I actually have a chance of getting laid tonight." And with that said she slammed the door in his face. Logan turned around and pulled out his cell dialing Colin's number.

"Hello."

"Hey Colin, pack your bags and tell Finn to pack his. We're going to New York for the weekend."

"Ok." Colin said not needing to be told twice."Hey Finn! Start packing. We're going to the Big Apple!" He shouted then hung up. Logan shook his head and called his father.

"Huntzberger."

"Hello father."

"Ah, Logan. What do I owe this pleasure to?"

"I was actually wondering if the apartment in New York was empty?"

"No, it's not. I lent it to a Christopher Hayden and his girls. He's doing business with me. But if you want I can call and tell him to expect you and I assume Colin and Finn." Logan smiled.

"Yes, that would be nice."

"Okay, I'll make the call and get back to you."

"Thanks dad."

"You're welcome son." Logan hung up the phone and made his way to his dorm. He was on his way to New York

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The minute Rory stepped out of the car she saw her father at the door to the two storey house. She smiled and ran to him giving him a hug.

"You broke a Gilmore girl rule." He whispered.

"Oh yeah? Which one is that?"

"Thou shalt not run." Rory laughed.

"You're an exception."

"How are you kid?"

"I've been better."

"You want to elaborate?" Chris asked seeing the weariness in his daughters eyes.

"Why don't we get everything in the car first. I have a feeling that after I tell you all this you won't want to go to New York." Chris frowned, but nodded. He grabbed the bags from the doorway and put them in the front of his car. Then got a sleeping Gigi and buckled her into the car seat. Rory put her bags in the car as well and sat up front. Her dad made last minute rotations making sure he didn't forget anything or leave anything on, then watched as he got in the car and backed out the driveway. The minute they were on the freeway. He broke the silence.

"You want to tell me now?" Rory took a deep breath and started to explain to him the events of the past two weeks.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I can't believe they did this Rory! I can't believe this!" Christopher exploded. Rory smiled.

"I know."

"I can't believe your mother didn't tell me."

"Didn't tell you! I went to that dinner thinking I was meeting Grandma's friends, not my future husband!"

"I'm so sorry." Rory sighed.

"I know. How come you didn't know dad?" Christopher shrugged.

"No one told me about this. I should have had a say in this."

"No, I should have had a say in this." Rory muttered. Chris rubbed her back in comfort. She leaned her head on the window.

"Go to sleep for a while Rory. We still have an hour before we get there. I'll wake you up when we're there." Rory nodded and closed her eyes, the past weeks' stress finally getting to her and letting her go into a peaceful sleep. Just as Rory fell asleep Chris's cell vibrated in his pocket. He got it out and answered.

"Hayden."

"Ah Mr. Hayden. It's Mitchum Huntzberger."

"Oh, hello Mr. Huntzberger."

"Mitchum please. My son just called me and told me about his plan to go to New York for the weekend and I was thinking. Might it be all right if he and his friends stay there? Now, I know you have a grown-up daughter, but I can promise you that they will not be in the way. My son is engaged and his friends, well, he can keep them out of the way." Christopher laughed.

"Ahhh, bachelor party before the big day? Of course it's fine"

"No, I don't think that's what it is. I think he needs to get away for a while. Well, thank you. I'll see you at the meeting in the morning."

"Yes sir." Chris closed the cell and put it back in his pocket. Once he got to New York, he woke Rory who smiled at him.

"We here?"

"Yep." He pulled in front of an apartment complex and got a sleeping Gigi out of her car seat. Rory was getting the bags out of the trunk when a man wearing a red uniform informed her he would bring it up to the apartment for her. They were directed to the elevators and towards the apartment. Chris got the key out of his pocket and opened the door.

Rory stepped inside and was at awe. The first thing she noticed was the window at the far end of the room that expanded the whole wall. Then the white leather couches that were centered in the middle of the living room in front of the wide screen TV with DVD player and stereo. There was a glass coffee table in the middle. Then the mini bar off in the corner. There was a hall to her left that she assumed led her to the bedroom, then a swinging door in the corner of the room that she expected led to the kitchen and the dining room.

"Ritzy." Christopher said. Rory smiled.

"Very." He walked towards the hall.

"Hey, just warning you. The guy who's loaning me this place. Has a son and he and his friends are coming. Promised they'd stay out of the way. Just wanted to let you know so that you're not shell shocked at seeing three boys wondering around in their boxers." Rory laughed.

"Thanks."

"You coming to bed?" Rory checked her watch. It was only ten thirty.

"Nah, I think I'm going to stay here and do some research for my article. Hey dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Just wondering, but who are you working for?"

"Mitchum Huntzberger. Why sweetie?" Rory closed her eyes and shook her head. There was no getting away from it, them, him. whatever it was. She couldn't run far enough.

"He's the reason I came down here in the first place." Christopher frowned, then it dawned on him. He walked to the room and laid Gigi down, then came back to the living room to see Rory sitting at the desk against the wall, away from the couches. She was setting up her laptop and waiting for it to load.

"Are you telling me that the son that is engaged is engaged to you?" Chris asked leaning on the desk.

"That's what I'm saying." She said plainly. Chris nodded and let the subject drop knowing that his daughter didn't want to talk about it at the moment.

"Night sweetie, the room at the end of the hall is yours." He said kissing the top of her head.

"Night dad and thanks." She said turning towards her computer. She heard him walk down the hall and heard the door close. She logged onto the internet and typed in Google. It was time she got her mind off her own problems and started her research on her next story. If she was going to go to one of their events she was going to know all there was to know about them. She smiled at herself and typed in Life and Death Brigade in the Google search engine.
