Chapter Three

Carter is behind me. He puts his hand on my shoulder to comfort me. I'm glad I brought him with me.

"It'll be okay. I promise." He sounds so convinced it's true but he doesn't know what I'm about to do.

"Yeah, right." He doesn't look convinced that I believe him, but he doesn't pry.

"Okay, let's get this all sorted out." Wow mom really doesn't want to do this.

"Evangelista? When did you get here?" There it is. I swear that woman forgets she has another daughter sometimes.

"I've been here for twenty minutes mom." I try to stay calm. "I was standing right behind you."

"Really?"

"Yes." That woman makes staying calm very hard.

"Angie!"

"Mel, I hated that name when we were kids and I hate it now."

"I have always called you Angie and I always will."

I love my sister but she kills me sometimes. Not literally. I'm the only killer in this family.

"Can we hurry this up? I have better things to do than stand in this cheap living room."

"Shut up, Rich Boy, this place is better than what a lot of people have."

Great, now the guys are fighting.

"You would know wouldn't you, Freak."

"Who are you calling a freak, you idiot?"

"Guys, cut it out!"

My sister swoops in to stop them before they do anything they'll regret. Not that either of them would regret it. If it had gotten any further I would have stopped it. Can't have them kill each other. That's my job.

"Now sit down. Everybody's here it's time to do this." Oh. I almost hadn't noticed when our brother walked in. Mel knows how to calm things down at least.

Everyone listens to my sister, Mom is reluctant but she sits regardless.

"Grayson, did you bring the results?"

"Of course I did, Mel." Grayson seems offended by the thought. "What kind of brother would I be if I forgot the results to my sister's paternity test?"

"Good."

He looks around the room. He looks a bit lost.

"So?" Uh-Oh Mom's getting impatient.

"So, what?" He actually doesn't know.

"Who is it?" Now Mel is involved.

"Who is what?" I can't believe him sometimes.

"The father. Who is the father?" I swear I have to spell out everything for him.

"Oh..." Finally he gets it. "Hold on, I'll check."

He reaches into his bag and pulls out a white envelope labeled 'Jones Results'. Grayson starts opening the envelope. Slowly. Too slowly.

"Hurry up!" I want to know who I have to kill.
