POA8

Brooke woke up to the violent screaming of her cell phone. She jumped up and picked it up.

"Hello?" She said groggily it was 5:00 AM

"BRYANT! You didn't call!" Jimm said loudly through the phone.

"Oh Oops I forgot" Brooke said and smacked her palm on her forehead.

"Don't let it happen again, Bryant." Moor yelled.

"I won't"

"Ok so any news so far?" Moor asked. Brooke pinched herself to wake herself up (as if his yelling wasn't enough)

"Umm I talked to the girlfriends. They seem harmless but i'm not ruling them out as possible suspects just yet" Brooke said.

"Yeah one of them could be his inside look"

"exactly"

"Anything else?" Moor asked.

"I talked to one of the group members but nothing. No one tells me anything. They all want to know about me or Riley!" Brooke said frusterated.

"Well yeah you can't expect them to spill everything to you within the first day!" Jim said.

"Nah Really!?!" She said sarcastically.

"Don't get cute with me Bryant!"

"Yes Sir, (lol I love Pearl Harbor that's where i got it from) Now if you'll excuse me I have to go get ready we leave in an hour." Brooke explained.

"Ok Bryant I'm expecting a call tomorrow."

"Yeah whatever" Brooke said and hung up.

"Jeez 5:30 in the freakin' morning" She said to herself.

Brooke took a nice hot shower. when she got out she went to her suit case to find clothes. What would I give for a pair of black sweats Brooke though as she pulled out a pair of jean capris and a pink shirt to match. She quickly dressed, dried her hair and did her make up. By the time she was done it was 6:00. She got her purse and headed downstairs where she was told to go.

"Hey Riley!" Jill and Sade said as they saw her walking down the hall.

"Hey!" Brooke said that fake smile once again plastered on her face.

"Cute outfit" Jill commented.

"uh thanks"

"Hey" Lance said when they arrived downstairs.

"Hi" The three girls said.

"Have you guys seen Katie?" He asked

"Nope" Sade said

"Ok Thanks" He said and walked away.

"I'm hungry... lets go get breakfast before we have to go" Jill said

"Ok" Brooke said and followed.

They walked into a large room with tons of food setup in large tables. JC, Chris, Joey, Alexis, and Justin were seated already eating. The three girls quickly grabbed food and headed over to sit down. Brooke felt akward sitting with them. She said 'Hello' To everyone and tried not to talk much. She didn't want to say something she would end up regretting.

They ate breakfast and headed to 'Good Morning America' and then 'Regis and Kelly'

"Ok Guys next we're going to Madison Square Garden to get ready for the show. Then tomorrow morning the buses will be here and we'll be heading to Chicago." Johnny informed everyone.

~*~At MSG~*~

"Hey Riley, Do you wanna see the show?" Alexis asked.

"Um sure" Brooke said.

"Come on we got the VIP box up there" Alexis pointed.

"Um ok"

"The show starts in like 10 minutes so come on" Alexis said and pulled Brooke along.

The show started and Brooke watched completely mezmorized. Each had a different personalitly (atleast from what she had seen) on stage. Their energy was unbelieveable. Never had she seen such an energetic show and such dedicated fans. Brooke's eyes caught on Chris. Wow look at him go She thought. His words of how tours were hectic but shows were great ran through her mind. He was absolutely correct.
