"Dad, why did you have to drive us here?" B complained to his father.
"I had to make sure it was for real." Max called.
"It's me that you don't trust sir?" Niles responded.
"That's not at all my old man it's….." he sighed. Max's mind: That's it. I don't know why Niles was asked to come instead on Ms Fine. She is the one who is to watch them not Niles and if he asked Niles I think he might be hiding something. So…I have to know. "It's that you have never chaperoned him before."
"Fran hates to bowel so I thought Niles would be better," B answered quickly. "See there's nothing to worry about." He winked over at Niles as they arrived at the bowling alley full of cars. Both of them got out of the car. Max's mind: Something's not quite right. I know but what? I have to go all the way in. Maybe the place is not a bowling alley on the inside.
"How about I walk you guys in."
"Now that's just embarrassing dad." B shook his head. "Having Niles come," he looked over at his butler. "No offence."
"None taken." Niles said.
"Was embarrassing enough for me." B continued. B's mind: what would have been worse would have Fran here to. Then I would never get to go over to the…the strip show. This was hard enough for me. Niles might not tell this time but I'll doubt he'll go again.
"Niles," Max wiggled his finger as a come here at Niles. Niles' mind: Here it comes. He's going to get all over me about doing this. What am I going to tell him? Should I? Niles sighed.
"Sir,"
"Be sure that the two of you get back before 1am. I…I have to leave early in the morning for my trip."
"He will. Now will you go before someone sees you." B shot to his father. Max waves and then finally leaves. Max's mind: I have to trust Niles, I have to trust him.
"Finally that parent left so…."
"Wait." Niles held up his hand.
"What?" said Shawn who, was the one that organized the party.
"Wait thirty minutes."
"We are all here." The teenager cried, "Can you see that old man."
"See parents hang out for at least thirty minutes to see if their kids leave, to see if the party's a fake or not. I know. I got busted more then once in my day."
"No," some of the kids cried out. "Get him out of here." One shouted.
Shawn waved his hands around, the crowd stop talking and paid attention. He sighed.
"The old man is right." He smiled. "We will stay here thirty minutes, then leave."
