Sorry I took so long to update… heh, heh… to make a long story short, I'll just say I had a delay… ENJOY!

Later at the bar…
"A toast to Evelyn Mercer! The greatest woman on Earth!" Bobby said and the three brothers and Ally hit glasses and drank down their drinks.
Then, they went over to a table.
"Hey Johnny! Can we get some Jack over here?!" Ally shouted to the bar tender.
"Oh, yeah sure! I'll be right over!" Johnny yelled back to her.
Bobby cocked an eyebrow.
"You think you can handle real liquor, Ally?"
"Hell yeah." Ally shot back. Jack smirked.
"Well, I personally don't want my baby sister to get all drunk. Besides, you're underage."
"So's Jackie, and you're lettin' him drink." Ally pointed out.
"Fine, whatever. Just down come cryin' to me when you're all drunk and sick and you start pukin' everywhere, 'cause I aint cleanin' it up." Bobby mumbled.
As Bobby, Jerry, and Angel talked about finding who killed their mother, Ally and Jack drank almost a full bottle of Jack Daniel's together. Soon, they were both hopelessly drunk.
"Jack drinks Jack! Jack drinks Jack! Jack drinks Jack!"
"That's your brother." Jerry laughed at Bobby.
"Jack likes ass-crack and ball sack." Bobby laughed at his own joke.
"Jack doesn't like ass crack and ball sack! Jack likes boobs! Jack has fans! Jack has lots of fans!"
"Jackie's a boob!" Ally said.
"That's right, Ally. Jackie is a boob." Angel said.
"So are my other brothers." Ally said. This wiped the smirk off of Angel's face.
"Whoa, Ally. Your big brother Bobby's a boob too?" Bobby asked.
"No. My big brother Bobby's a big, big boob." This caused Angel to spew his drink out laughing.
Bobby was silent.
"Ally's a…"
"Ok, that's enough. Don't start." Bobby said as Jack started talking.

The next day…
"Jackie! Ally! Get your fairy butts out of bed! We're goin' to the store where Ma got shot to talk to the guy who runs the place." Bobby said. This was his "rude awakening" that he used to use on his siblings frequently.
"Uh, no! My freakin' head hurts, Bobby. Let's go tomorrow." Ally said through the pillow that she had over her head.
Jack groaned in agreement.
"Hey, I told you not to get all drunk, but you didn't listen to me. Now you're suffering the consequences." Ally didn't reply.
"Screw you, Bobby!" Ally yelled as Bobby flipped her mattress over.
Ally got up and rubbed her forehead. Jack sat up as well.
Bobby left the room.
"Come on, let's get dressed before booby comes back." Ally said. Jack snickered at the comment.
Ally went over to the closet and pulled out a black tee shirt and a white long sleeve shirt and put them on. She held it up to herself and turned to Jack.
"It's fine." Jack said, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Ally nodded.
She pulled out a pair of black jeans with rips on the knees. She grabbed her Converses and tied them quickly.
Jack dressed quickly and was bundled up soon enough for the winter chill of Detroit.
Ally threw Jack his fingerless gloves and slipped hers on.
"Thanks."
"Yeah." Ally replied.
"You two better be ready to leave in five minutes!" Bobby yelled from down the stairs.
"Yeah, whatever, Bobby!" Ally yelled back. She had always been sassy and had a tendency to talk back to Bobby a lot.
"Hey give me some respect, will ya'?!" He yelled back.
"No thanks."
Then, they heard pounding feet on the stairs.
When Bobby opened the door, Jack and Ally were prepared for the worst; instead, Bobby looked at both of them and said:
"It's time to go." He was speaking gravely.
Ally and Jack nodded their heads in response and followed Bobby down the stairs.

At the store…
"Can I help you gentlemen?" The clerk asked.
"Yes. Yes, I believe you can. We're the sons and daughter of Evelyn Mercer. She was killed here earlier this week. You may know her." Bobby said.
"Oh, yes. Evelyn was a great woman. I'm so sorry for your loss, but what does this have to do with me?"
"We're trying to find the guys who killed her." Ally said.
"Oh. You want to see the surveillance tape?"
The brothers and Ally looked at each other and looked back at the man. They all nodded.
While they were watching the video, Jack grew uneasy. When the killers came in and shot Evelyn, Jack winced and started to cry silently and turned away, Ally got a dark spark in her eye that meant she was as mad as Bobby, Angel just stared in unbelief and then grew mad, and Jerry showed no emotion.
Ally walked over and put and arm around Jack.
"You okay, Jackie?" She whispered. Jack just shook his head and closed his eyes tightly. Ally rubbed his back in a comforting way.
"Why?" He asked quietly.
"I don't know, Jackie. I don't know. But, we're gonna find out who did it and kill 'em."
"We're going to get killed." He whimpered.
Ally couldn't answer that, even though it wasn't a question. They might get killed.
Ally and Jack stood by and watched as Bobby talked to the store clerk and asked him something.
Then, Bobby, Angel, and Jerry walked over to Ally and Jack.
"Come on, guys. We know where our next stop is." Bobby said.
