Chapter 4: Two Girls Poole and Pizza
Finishing up with our work and waiting for the pizza guy to arrive it was time to get down to what really matters, defending the Messer and Flack Family names in seeing who's better at Pool.
"Are you sure you want to do this Flack?" I asked grinning.
"Bring it, Messer." said Aubrey the competitive spirit as common between us as it always has been with our dads.
"Alrighty, then." I said picking up a queue. "Remember Aub, once second best always second best."
"Whatever Bren, you can break if you want." said Aubrey. "Twenty bucks says I win."
"You know I really hate to take a friends money," I said knowing that odds were on my side, (says the events of "Snow Day" in season 4(before the whole sex on the Pool table thing happened). "But for you I'll be happy to make the exception."
"So what's the story with Sassone?" asked Aubrey after she took her first shot.
"I don't know yet." I said taking my turn. "I guess I'll find out if I get the thumbs up mom and dad."
"Knowing them they'll be doing at least one badge flash" said Aubrey grinning.
"I know right most kids have parents who play good cop bad cop." I said sinking two balls at once. "Whereas what we have is mom cop, dad cop."
"Not to mention the crime lab and prescient, crap." said Aubrey when there was a knock at the door, causing her to scratch. "Sound means its pizza time.
"You grab the cash I'll grab the door?" I asked automatically.
"Sure under the Montana magnet right?"asked Aubrey, walking to the kitchen.
"Yup, same as always." I said opening the door to see an unfamiliar delivery guy.
"Oh, I'm sorry I must have the wrong apartment." said the pizza guy when he saw me and Aubrey.
"Well is that a large cowboy?" I asked knowing what this guy was going through and not about to stop it.
"Yeah the boss said the guy on the phone sounded hungry." the pizza buy stammered oblivious to the joke.
"We're just a couple of girls waiting for that pizza." said Aubrey handing over the twenty.
"I just thought it would be guys." said the pizza guy blushing slightly.
"No problem." I said taking the pizza taking the box. "Tell Tony from Brenna and Aubrey the next time he uses this place in a hazing, we want free pizza."
"I will, have a good evening." said the pizza guy.
"Thanks you to." I said closing the door. "Why is it that this is always where the new guys get sent for their maiden voyage?"
"Two reasons Bren," said Aubrey taking a swig of her soda. "One Tony's known our dad's since before we were born. And two we're the only two girls he knows that eat like growing guys."
"True, very true. Comes with the territory of be Flack and Messer I guess." I said smirking and raising my soda slightly. "So, here's to you Irish, the best friend I could ever ask for."
"Right back at you Cowgirl." said Aubrey lightly tapping her can on mine. "We do make a pretty good team, don't we?"
"The greatest." I said making my winning shot. "Boom, You my friend owe me one Andrew Jackson. Cough it up."
You know one of these days I will beat you Messer." said Aubrey rolling her eyes and handing over a twenty.
"Sure you will. And one of these days Adam Ross won't be a socially awkward geek." I said as I heard the sound of the front door opening.
"Hey now he's our socially awkward geek." said my dad walking in with mom behind him both were grinning. "How you two doin'?"
"Hey uncle Danny, aunt Lindsay you guys close the case you were working on?" asked Aubrey curiously.
"Yeah turns out the maid did it." said mom. "Motive was she was being let go."
"Interesting," I said thinking about the situation. "that would explain why you might not have found signs of forced entry."
"Linds is it me or are these girls able to figure this stuff out a little to well?" asked Dad grinning.
"Well it helps when you have the Detective gene running strong." said Aubrey then added quieter to me. "Are you gonna ask them now."
"Oh Aub you should be heading home." I said with a 'we'll talk later' look. "It's getting kinda late."
"Aubrey I'll give you a lift home." said Mom grabbing her keys.
"Cool, thanks aunt Lindsay, I'd drive but I need to wait a few more months for my license." said Aubrey putting on her jacket. "Text me later?"
"Will do." I said as the door closed behind them.
"Don't think I didn't notice that." said dad grabbing a slice from the box.
"Notice what?" I asked innocently.
"Brenna What's going on?"
