This takes up where Chapter 5 part I finishes, or shortly after, If you didn't read Part I, this may not make sense... Just take it as read that Scott got very misled...

Double Trouble

Chapter 5 part III – The Party's Over…

In the clapboard house across town another screech is heard, a door slams open and a dishevelled Carol bolts down the hall, crying and wiping hysterically at her damp shirt. She runs out into the backyard, her agitation gaining the attention of her friends, "Carol what's wrong, what did he do?" Anja asks. Distraught Carol just sobs as she continues to wipe at the mess across the front of her shirt.

Dominic looks at his friends in panic, "Where's Scott?" he runs into the now much quieter house quickly followed by Phil and Lex. They race from room to room trying to locate the missing Scott; finally they reach a bedroom at the end of the hall where they find Scott slumped across a bed, face down. Phil quickly rolls him over and checks that he is breathing, relieved his friend appears to be well but unconscious, Phil sits back. "Lex put the light on would ya." With the light on the circumstances of Carol's departure become apparent, Scott is lying in a puddle of his own vomit; his t-shirt, pants and face are smothered in it. "Ok." Phil looks at Lex and Dominic, "Just how much punch did he drink?" Dominic crouches beside the unconscious Scott, "Too much…"

"Yeah well I can see that!" states Phil with grimace, he shakes his head. "We'd better get him home."

"Scotty, Hey Scotty." Dominic lightly taps Scott's face. Brushing the offending touch away Scott tries to roll over only to fall off the bed with a resounding crash. Woken by the fall Scott pushes himself up to his hands and knees. "Ooooh." He groans, he looks foggily at his friends, "W'ad happ'd? W'd amb I?"

"Com'on Scotty, we need to get you cleaned up and home." Dominic drags his friend to his unsteady feet, Lex catching his other side as he slumps between them. "I told you we'd have to carry him out." Dominic grouched at Lex. Hefting Scott solid form more securely on his shoulder, Lex grunts, "Yeah well just keep moving, before he chucks again." Phil leads them out of the house towards his car. "You OK to drive?" Dominic asks. "Yeah, I didn't touch the punch." Phil replies "… and I didn't really drink the Vodka either." They bundle the sleepy Scott in the back of the car and climb in beside him, "We taking him back to his place?" Lex asks, Dominic and Phil look at each other then at Scott. "His dad will kill him if he sees him like this!" Dominic states. Phil nods in agreement, "My place, Mom won't even notice." He starts the car and drives off into the early morning.

TBC...

Well there you go… Scott really got him self in a dangerous place then didn't he? I wonder if he's learnt his lesson. He probably won't trust people outside the family quite so much anymore.

Hope it wasn't too much, but I wanted Scott to really go off the rails, to give a reason for why he is so hard on his brothers later in life… and wary of females bearing gifts.

Thanks for reading.
