Outsiders HQ

Joey was sitting on the couch (feet up on the table, of course) in the Outsiders' living room, watching TV and drinking a beer. All together, it had been a pretty good day. Slept until noon, Baywatch rerun marathon on the tube, fresh jalapeno dip from the fridge, new bag of potato chips, and all the beer he could drink.

His cell phone went off and the caller ID told him it was his mother. He flipped it open, muting the TV. "Hey, Mom. What's up?"

If he still had anything like blood, it probably would have gone cold right then. "Dead? You're sure?"

"No, look, Mom, I didn't mean it like..."

"Yeah, okay. I'll be home soon. Just hold on until then."

"Love you, too."

He flipped it closed, looked at the beer bottle in his other hand and frowned. With a grunt, he threw it against the wall, where it shattered.

	Joey frowned. "Maybe it's nothing. I dunno. But my old man was an idiot, but he wasn't, ya know, stupid. Some old industrial accident shouldn't've been enough to kill him." He rubbed his chin. "It don't all add up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian nodded. "It does sounds a little fishy, Joey. I mean, he has the same abilities as you, right? And there's not really much that can hurt you, either. Did your mom say what kind of accident it was? An explosion or some machine going haywire and causing some kind of havoc?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She didn't say. Dunno if Grandpa told her," Joey admitted. "Either way... it don't add up." He kind of shrugged helplessly. "I'm hardly the old man's biggest fan... but even I didn't want him dead. Only... I don't really know how to go about findin' anything out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
