| Points of Authority Chapter 20 |
| Everyone was in the 'game room' of the hotel. Justin and Sade were at the air hockey table. Chris, Lance, Katie, JC and Jill were at the pool table. Katie and Joey were very involved in each and kind of a card game. While Brooke was on the phone, even though she was undercover she still had to work. Everyone looked over when someone walked in. It was Heather (AKA Lisa). "Hey!" Lisa said to everyone. Everyone looked up from what they were doing, smiled, and said 'Hello'. "How come you two always win!?!" Chris whined referring to the game of pool they had just played. Katie and Jill as a team won Lance, JC and Chris. "Because, we're better than you." Katie grinned as they walked toward the table where Brooke was on the phone and Lisa had just sat down. "Whatever." Chris mumbled. Just as they sat down Brooke got off the phone. "Who won?" Brooke asked. "Do you really have to ask?" JC said. "Good job Girls!" Brooke said with a laugh. "Why don't you ever play with us?" Chris asked. "Because Sweetie, I suck, It would be far too embarrassing for my liking." Brooke explained. "Hmm" Lisa mumbled sarcastically. The truth was Brooke loved pool. She had spent her share of time in bars and had picked up a few useful skills. They all turned and looked at her. "Did you say something, Heather?" Jill asked. "Me? No, I ws just clearing my throat." She lied with a bright smile. "Oh." They all said. Brooke almost burst out laughing but held it in. Lance reached over for a chocolate chip cooke and offered everyone one. Then he got to Brooke... "Want one?" Lance asked. "She's allergic to chocolate." Lisa said without thinking. Brooke stared at her wide-eyed. "How did you know?" Jill asked curiously. "I thought you just met yesterday." "We did. I had a chocolate bar yesterday and I offered her some and she told me she was allergic and well I'm safety/health first so I kind of just said it." Lisa explained. "Oh" That was close! Lisa and Brooke both thought. The day continued. Brooke showed Lisa around, because supposedly Johnny asked her to do so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So How do you like it so far?" Brooke asked Lisa once they were in the privacy of her hotel room at night. "They're really nice. It seems like nothing's wrong here." Lisa said. "I know! That's what makes everything twice as hard." "Yeah... but B, you and Chris are too cute." Lisa laughed. Brooke just smiled back and blushed. "Oh hey! Did Jim say anything about that letter I got?" Brooke asked. "No, it was completely different from other notes from him. No poetry, no meter, no rhyme scheme, nothing." Lisa said. "Well maybe that's something in itself." "What do you mean?" "Maybe the fact that the letter doesn't follow the normal patterns is a clue." Brooke pointed out. "Hmm..." Lisa thought out loud, "maybe." "B, It's getting' late I should go." Lisa said getting up. "Yeah, ok" "I'll see ya tomorrow." Lisa said as she walked to the door. "Bye.... and Lee... It's good to have you here" Brooke smiled. Lisa smiled back and walked out the door. Brooke sighed and lazily got ready for bed. She took out her blue contacts and started at her honey colored eyes. "Would Chris still love me if I had dark hair, dark eyes, went by the name Brooke and were incredibly sarcastic?" Brooke wondered. "I hope so." She went over to her bed and lay down. She shut her eyes tightly and pictured herself as Brooke once again, with dark hair and eyes, with Chris at her side. She smiled at the thought and went to sleep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brooke woke up the next morning. She groggily got up and stretched. She went t the bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush, then brushed her teeth. Next, she hopped in the shower and quickly bathed. She wrapped a towel around her body and another around her hair and headed to her suitcase. She picked out another cute outfit, which she actually didn't find in the least bit 'cute', but for some odd reason people found a pair of capris pants 'cute'. She quickly got dressed. As she turned around she saw something on the ground. Brooke walked over to it and picked it up cautiously. It was another envelope, this time on it was the word 'Brooke' and Kobe Bryant stickers. "Shit" She said out loud to herself. Brooke opened up the envelope. On 'Lakers' stationary this was written: Brooke: Hi again! You just get prettier everyday. You'll be out of my way soon. As soon as that blonde hair grows out what are you doing to hide behind? Your cute little boyfriend? I don't think so. See Ya soon, Brookie. Love, Me |
