Carlos will exchange his own buisness card with her,

"Just call my cell. Stay in touch, Jess. Oh hey, one more thing," he'll in close for this one and whisper, "I sort of went and got Amy mad at me and I wanna make it up to her. Any sisterly tips?"

Jessica grinned. "Yeah...don't get her mad at you. She can hold a grudge like nobody's business."

Inside the room, Mike's father looked pale, broken...something so incongruous to his strong and always tough father. The machines hooked up around him, beeping intermitantly. Mike could hear some of the conversation at the door between Jessica and Carlos before she leaves.

OOC: MIKE, CARLOS

The pincipal picks up the phone to call the police and motions for her secretary to go find Jeffery's brother, Malcolm. While they wait, Principal Gardiner asks him if he's up for dealing with the dangers of testifying against Dog Man. Seems that every witness to his crimes have repeatedly ended up dead, execution style.

Meanwhile, as Malcolm and Rosa head out of the English Exam, he finds himself being approached by the secretary. She motions for him to come with her to the principals office.

OOC: MALCOLM,LAMAR

Malcolm looked up from talking with Rosa to see the Principal's secretary approaching him. Malcolm closed the distance to her quickly so that fewer people heard what was said. Man . . . I've got two more finals, yet. Then again, based on how I did in there, maybe this isn't a bad thing. Crap, I hope it's not about Jeffrey, I hope he's okay.

"Yes, ma'am? Is something wrong?" Malcolm asked as he followed her to the office.

"I'll testify, Ma'am" Lamar said. "It's what needs to be done."

Rosa just waved him off as he was lead away to the office. "Go on, man, you're in trouble enough."

Principal Gardiner welcomed Malcolm inside her office and asked him to sit down. Then after making sure he was as comfortable as one could be on a principals office, she had Lamar repeat what he had just told her about Jeffery, Dog Man, the whole story.

"I need to know...what has your brother been up to? Did you know about this Malcolm?" she asked him with a worried look.

OOC: LAMAR, MALCOLM

Malcolm's eyes grow wide as Lamar tells his tale. Although typically quick to come to Jeffrey's defense, the way Lamar tells what happened makes it very believable to Malcolm. Dog Man . . . oh my god!! What has Jeffrey done?!?

"Ma'am, I honesty don't know what Jeffrey's been up to. He's been going through some rough times, hanging with the wrong crowds, and he's been tough for my mom and I to handle. But he's a good kid, and I'm sure he doesn't understand what he's gotten into." Malcolm answers, hesitantly - still soaking everything in, not wanting to believe.

Man, listen to me. I wanna crack him upside the head for what he's gotten himself and us into . . . and I'm defending him!?! And Lamar . . . I haven't seen him like this in a long time, not since Jerome. I asked him to follow Jeffrey - he could have been killed!

"Hold on, Misty," T-Bull slowed with a frown, setting the food on the small kitchen table and unpacking it. "What are you talkin' about? 'Them' - that old man's goin' mad with grief." He shrugged. "I can understand him wanting to get out of here, though. Who's he selling to?"

"I don't kno who's he selling too. But a real fancy-pants. You know the kind that slips off their wedding ring before visiting me. He halved the price he'd pay for the place when Mayes was one day too late. But we shoudln't let him leave. It's Mayes! He's now homeless because otherwise he can't pay the money his daughter needs for medical care!

A knock on the door and secretary poked her head in. "Principal Gardiner? A detective is on the line for you."

The principal nodded at Malcolm and Lamar. "I'll go talk to the police...you just wait here until I return." Moving toward the door, she closed it behind her and left the two boys alone for a few minutes.
