Duncan stood up as he looked at her. His eyes were a little wider than he would have liked but the disgust that radiated from her memories still hung thick on his tongue. He narrowed his eyes as he

looked at her.

"What did you do to yourself?" Michelle's eyes narrowed.

"What? I thought you would like it? I wasn't bad enough for you before!" Michelle growled and marched over too him. Duncan put his hands up keeping her at arms distance away.

"You look like shit."

"Well at least we match."

"What the fuck is your problem?! We broke up and you go and turn poser?"

"I'm not a poser!"

"Then what tattoos do you have?"

"…" Michelle narrowed her eyes. Duncan nodded and pushed her backwards.

"That's what I thought. Go back to church, Michelle. That's where you belong. Or maybe therapy." He snorted and walked back to sit down on the couch only to meet a pair of pissed off brown eyes.

"Not bad enough for you? So is that a game of yours? You take good girls and make them bad or leave them if they aren't bad enough?" Courtney accused as she stood up. She stomped her foot and walked over to stand next to Michelle. "We deserve an explanation." Duncan's nostrils flared as he looked at Courtney. He shook his head and plopped down on the couch.

"Look at her. There's your explanation. SHE is crazy. She used to have beautiful long brown hair, and perfect skin. Now she looks like she got into a fight with a weed-whacker and a pin cushion." Duncan snorted.

"And what do you look like?" Michelle growled. Courtney shook her head.

"I don't like this. When did you break up with her?" Courtney asked folding her arms over her chest.

"What does it matter?" Duncan shook his head. These women were going to kill him, well if he didn't kill them first.

"Just before he left to come on the show." Michelle replied and looked at Courtney, who's face turned red.

"So you broke up with her just to be on the show?" Courtney growled. Duncan shook his head and rolled his eyes to look didn't have to explain himself to her or anyone else for that matter. Especially if it meant airing some of his, and her, dirty laundry on national television.

"He broke up with me because I was holding him back! He wanted to be a career criminal and I talked him out of it! " Michelle's voice cracked. Duncan shook his head and stood up. That was the final straw. He could stand the fact that she was there. He could even over look the fact that she had lost her mind, but he wasn't going to stand by and let her make him look like the bad guy of the relationship. He was a bad guy but not in that situation.

"Why don't you tell them the real reason I broke up with you?" Smart ass Duncan was gone. He was just mad. He wasn't going to hurt her, but that didn't mean he didn't want to. And while he was at it he wouldn't mind wrapping his hands around Chris's smug little neck either. He walked over and grabbed Michelle's arm. He jerked her arm down to show Courtney the row of horizontal scars that lined the inner part of her arm. He pointed to the top one.

"She didn't make head cheerleader." He pointed to the next one down. "She got a B in math. This one she got a dent in her car, this one her ex boyfriend called her a bitch. This one just because she was

bored." He looked at Michelle and shook his head. "You wouldn't get help. Then you went over board. That's why I dumped your ass." He snorted and threw her hand down. He turned to look at Courtney and shook his head.

"Well…At least you broke up with her and aren't still seeing her." Courtney said as her cheeks lit in embarrassment. Chris laughed. Everyone turned to look at him as he doubled over laughing.

"I don't see anything funny!" Courtney informed the host. Chris shook his head and stood up wrapping his arms around his stomach.

"You haven't met the other one yet…" He said and started laughing once again. Duncan's face paled as his pupils shrunk to pin points.

"What other one?" Duncan, Michelle and Courtney said in unison with three different emotions filling their voices.

"The other one you DIDN'T break up with! Duncan, my man, I would have never guessed." Chris smiled as his face took on that evil smirk of his. Duncan could feel all eyes on the entire set burning into the back of his skull.

"Oh fuck this, I'm leaving." Duncan turned around only to have Courtney and Michelle blocking his path. Behind them the rest of the contestants were shooting him the evil eye. That didn't matter. He just wanted to be somewhere else immediately as far away else as he could possibly get.

"What is he talking about Duncan?" Courtney growled.

"That would be me, sweetie." Duncan froze at that voice. Chills went up his spine and his head suddenly felt light headed. The way he looked at it, he had two options: one being to turn around and face the confrontation like a man would or two let the girl's work it out on their own. He chose the latter. His eyes rolled back as he 'passed out' and hit the floor.

"Oh hell no. You?!" Michelle's eyes widened as she looked at Caleb, who was leaning against the door frame. He blinked at her and arched a perfectly trimmed eyebrow.

"You are the one that actually surprises me. I didn't know my Duncan had that bad of taste." Caleb pushed himself away from the door and walked over to where Duncan was passed out on his stomach. He knelt down and looked at the boy. He stuck his pinky in his mouth and pulled it out. Seconds later, Duncan was wide awake wiping his ear from where Caleb had assaulted his ear canal. Duncan cussed and glared at the green eyed boy. He was always able to tell when he was faking sleep or unconsciousness.

"Excuse me? Your Duncan?" Courtney asked her mind not being able to catch up with the events that were transpiring. Heather shook her head and grinned.

"Romantic thriller, Chris? Are you sure you didn't mean Jerry Springer?" She smiled, wishing she would have brought a piece of paper to write all the dirt down on.

The other contestants sat in silence with wide eyes staring between Caleb and Duncan. No one wanted to say anything, and they didn't know whether to laugh hysterically or point out the obvious. Lindsey was the first to break the ice, choosing to do neither.

"Oh my god! Look at your hair! I love it, it's soooo soft and shiny!" She ran over to Caleb and studied his hair. Caleb blinked at her then looked to Duncan as he picked himself up off of the floor. He looked back at the blonde headed girl, batting her hands away from his hair and put on his best smile.

"Give me ten minutes, honey, and I can have yours the same way." Caleb stated rather flatly. He turned back to look at Duncan. "Did you miss me?" Caleb let his green eyes lazily turn to look at Courtney. "I guess not. You stayed pretty busy, huh?"

"You…are …dating a …guy?....You…" Courtney's face turned red as the vein in her forehead threatened to explode. "YOU WERE DATING SOMEONE ELSE AND STILL HIT ON ME!?"

"Hey, princess? We aren't dating, remember? You are disgusted by me."

"We are so dating! Don't you know coy banter when you hear it!? And besides, you are a cheater! That is one of the most detestable, vile, loathsome things you can be!" Courtney screeched. Chris smiled.

"You are getting all this right?" Chris asked the closet camera man. Once he got a nod in reply Chris pointed at the door signaling the camera man to follow.

"Who the fuck are you to talk?" Vitani's voice was laced with repressed laughter. Courtney turned around and narrowed her eyes. She took on a serene calm that was almost unnatural.

"Oh this is getting good! Any one got popcorn?!" Owen laughed.

"I am not a cheater. I broke up with you fair and square." Courtney said with her face blank of all emotion. Duncan looked from the guy back to Courtney. He grinned.

"Ah, you were yelling at me because you do the same thing?" he said but Courtney ignored him as she watched Vitani light up a cigarette.

"Like hell. You didn't break up with me, you put us on fucking pause until you won your damn money, remember?" He said as he took a long drag. She didn't move, didn't answer just stood rigid as she watched him. "Besides you need to quit this game show shit, anyway."

"Oh and why would I do that?" She hissed through clenched teeth. His black eyes looked up at her as he let out a puff of smoke.

"It's bad for the baby."

"Dun dun dun.." Izzy added with a smile.


So is she or isn't she? Is this some sort of ploy to throw Courtney off, or is little Miss CIT not as 'goodie goodie' as everyone thinks? And is Duncan ever going to explain the Caleb situation? And who else is hiding some dirty little secrets?
