A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long, I don't know... I didn't really know where I wanted this to go after the last chapter. I hope every enjoys this, and now that I kind of know where I want this to go, the updates should be sooner!!

(Hopefully I didn't lose to many readers!)

Oh my god! I just got caught watching porn, by LIZZIE of all people!

I swear to God, if Ed tells on me he will be sorry.

I looked over at Casey and she seemed to have a nervous look about her.

"It's okay Case, I'll handle this."

I left my room and went directly to the games closet where I knew they would be at. I started to bang on the door and yell at them.

"Open this door Edwin. You will be sorry if you don't." Once he opened the door, I pushed him further in and closed the door behind me.

"Oh yeah? Is that so Derek? What if I decide to tell Dad and Nora what you really do on your free time?" Edwin asked.

"You wouldn't." I spat.

"I would, and I could. I could also tell them how we saw you two sleeping together, and how you were on top of her; acting dirty."

"Name your price."

"$100.00"

"Hell no Edwin!"

"Oh DAD, I need to se-" I quickly put my hand over his mouth to shut him up. I got as close to his face as I could and scowled at him.

"$50.00. That's $25.00 for each of you to keep your mouths shut."

"I don't think so Derek. You see, there is something that we want to buy, and unfortunately $50.00 won't cover it." Lizzie finally spoke up.

Derek face was red with anger. "$75.00." He said.

"$80.00, and that's my final offer. It's either that, or get grounded for practically having sex with your sister."

"Step-sister."

"Same thing Derek, now do we have a deal or not?" Edwin said with the same infamous Venturi smirk.

"Deal." I said shaking each of their hands.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you."

"Shut up Ed. Give me a minute to get your money."

I exited the games closet with defeat written all over my face. I made my way back to my bedroom and closed the door behind me. Casey was still sitting on my bed, looking less nervous, but I could still tell she was shaken up by the whole experience.

"So, did you get everything taken care of?" She asked me.

"Kind of, it's going to cost $80.00."

"Those little brats! I wish there was a way we could catch them at something, and bribe them the same way they do us. This is ridiculous. What could they possibly need $80.00 for?"

"Casey, please stop ranting, at least it's taken care of, and they wont tell on us."
"I knew I should have never come in here, and watched porn with you. You are trouble Derek Venturi. T.R.O.U.-"

"I know how to spell Casey now stop. I asked you if you wanted to leave, and you didn't want to. Don't try to put this on me. I was just trying to have some fun with you, but you always, ALWAYS have to turn things around so it looks good for you."

"That's not fair."

"Get out of my room."
"No. Not until this conversation is over."

"It's over now." I said as I opened the door and pushed her out. Now to find that money. I lifted up my mattress and found $4.00. I guess this is a start. I proceeded to my closet and pulled down a canister from the top shelf. I shook it around a little bit and heard the change hitting the side. Once I opened the top, I realized that finding $80.00 was going to be harder than I thought. I emptied the contents of the canister on my bed and began counting.

"$16.82? Okay, plus $4.00 is $20.82. Alright only $59.18 left!"

I continued to tear my room apart looking for various hiding places of money through out the years and came up finding another $27.49.

"Alright so I have $48.31, only $31.69 left to find." I looked around my room and found the mess I had made. There is no way I will be finding anymore money in here. I took a deep breath before I got up enough courage to go to the bedroom across the hall. Her door was closed, but I could here her angry chick music playing so I knew she was in there. I knocked lightly on the door, hoping she knew I came in peace.

"Case, open up I need to talk to you."

She swung her door open so fast it made me almost lose my balance.

"What could we possibly need to talk about Derek? You said our conversation was over, so fine." With that she slammed her door in my face.

"Casey please, it's important."

Nothing.

"Casey? I need your help."

Still nothing.

"Damnit Casey if you do not open this door right now we are going to be caught for what happened earlier."

Before I could even process another thought, she opened her door and pulled me in.

"Talk."

"I need $31.69 to pay them off. I came up with the other $48.31, but I don't have any more money. Could I… I mean… could you… help?"

She grabbed her purse and pulled out her wallet. She pulled out $32.00 and handed it to me.

"Go take care of this, please." She asked.

"Do you want to talk Case?"

"About what?"

"Well, I mean… with what's going on with us."

"No! No I don't. Get out of my room Derek. Just go pay them off."

I left Casey's room and went to Edwin's bedroom door. I could hear Lizzie giggling from inside his door. I got as close to the door with out touching it and put my ear up to it.

"Ed, quit tickling me!" I heard her say. Then I heard some rustling, and then Edwin spoke.

"Okay, okay you win Liz, just get off of me."

"Ed, can I ask you something?"

He was still laughing when he finally responded.

"Yeah?"

"Well, you know how we saw Derek and Casey earlier?"

"Yeah, why what's up?" Edwin asked.

"Do you think they are together…like us?"

Derek was shocked to hear this. He only wished he could go get Casey and still listen to the rest of the conversation at the same time.

"I don't know Lizzie. It seems like they are. But it also seems we are better at hiding it than they are."

Oh please.

"Well let's just keep it that way."

It got really quiet after that and Derek knew what was going on in there. He rushed back to Casey's room and didn't even bother to knock.

"Der-ek! What if I was changing or something?"

"Wouldn't be the first time I have seen you naked… or the last either."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Casey, chill I have way more important things to discus with you."

"Really like what?"

"Like what I just heard in Edwin's room about your sister and my brother."

"Spill." She said as she sat down on her bed sitting Indian style.

"They are dating."

"WHAT? No way! How do you know?"

"Chill Case, chill."

"Well I went by to give them their money, and I heard Lizzie laughing in there, so I eavesdropped."

"Derek, that's not polite."

"Shhh, anyways Lizzie asked Ed if he thought you and I were together… like them."

"Ohh, wow."

"Yeah, it gets better. Then Ed said he didn't know, but it seems like we are together. Then he said it seems like they were better at hiding it than we are."

"What? Us, were not even anything… I don't think…" Casey's voice trailed off.

"Casey, focus, this is not about us right now. Anyways Lizzie said that they should just keep it that way, you know, the hiding of their relationship… but then…"

"Then what?" Casey said getting really serious.

"I can't be for sure, but it got extremely quiet in there. I don't want to say what I think they were doing, but it seems pretty obvious."

"I can't believe this. They are blackmailing us, when they are doing the same thing! Hypocrites, both of them; straight hypocrites!"

"I know. We will figure something out after dinner. We have got to get our money back."
"I think I have a plan. Meet me in my room thirty minutes after everyone is asleep and we will get started." She had said.

"Hey now, I like the sound of this." I said with a smirk.

"Pervert."

Alright, so let me know what you think. Good... bad... just okay?
