�Where are they at?� Kevin asked no one in particular. Kevin, Howie and Aj were waiting on Nick and Brian to come back to the studio.
�I don�t know. But I�ll go see if I can get them back.� Aj said as he stood. He exited the studio door and could hear the two playing basketball in the adjoining basketball court. �Hey, Dorkos! Kevin is getting bitchy, come on!� He yelled as he neared the court. They were either ignoring him or they were deaf as both of them never looked up. He walked to the fence and yelled again, �HELLO! Earth to Nick and Brian!�
�WOOHOO!� Brian yelled as he scored another basket. He stopped and shook his butt as he did his happy �I Beat Nicky� dance.
�Come on, Kevin�s getting his panties in a wad.� Aj said waiting for the guys to catch up with him.
�Oh!� Brian yelled as he grabbed Nick�s wallet off the ground. �You owe me 40 bucks. You said I couldn�t beat you. And I beat your butt twice!�
�Hey! Man, that was a one time deal!� Nick said going after his wallet.
�Nope, didn�t say that! Aj CATCH!� Brian yelled as he threw Nick�s wallet over to Aj. Aj wasn�t expecting it and it landed at his feet, opening to the photo section. He reached down to grab it off the ground as he saw the pictures.
�What the-?� He said as the first picture caught his attention. Nick ran and grabbed the wallet from his hands. �What the fucking hell. Give that back.� Aj jerked it back and stared at the picture of Liz and a kid that looked just like him. He looked up at Nick whose face was now pasty white. �Nick,� Aj took a deep breath attempting to keep his temper under control, �Who is this with Liz?� When Nick didn�t answer, he knew. �How fucking long did you know?! And you fucking didn�t tell me?!�
�Aj, I�m sorry man.�
�You don�t have the fucking balls to tell me I have a fucking kid! Goddamn you Nick! You knew how I felt about her!� Aj yelled as he got into Nick�s face.
�What, wait a minute! Aj, what are you talking about?� Brian said stepping between them. Aj threw the wallet at Brian�s chest. Brian caught it and looked at the picture. �Who is this? And who is the kid?�
�Her name is Liz, Nick and I slept with her over 2 years ago. I didn�t know she had a kid.�
�Nick how long have you known about this?� Brian said turning to Nick.
�6 months.� He said quietly.
�6 fucking months!� Aj shoved Brian out of the way and tackled Nick to the ground, punching him in the face repeatedly.
�Get off of him!� Brian yelled as struggled to pull Aj off of Nick. Aj punched him one more time and stood.
�Fuck you!� Aj yelled walking away.
�Nick, why didn�t you tell him?� Brian said as he helped Nick stand.
�It�s not my job. Liz is going to tell him. Where did he go?� Nick said looking for Aj.
�I don�t know. He went toward the parking lot.�
�Oh fuck! He�s going to her house.� Nick said as he took off running.
