Kate threw her purse on her bed and walked across the hall to her brother's room.
She rapped on the door three times. "Hey Moosh, can I come in?"

Marshall was sitting at his desk, with his injured leg up on a chair set up across from him. On his desk was his laptop, which was streaming some old black and white movie.
"What's up, Kate?"

"How's my sassy gay friend doing?" Kate asked she pushed open the door and leaned in the doorframe.

Marshall closed his laptop.
"What do you want?"

Kate sat down on Marshall's bed.
"How's your leg? How was school? How are things with James?"

"Broken, Boring." He answered the first two, then paused. Marshall shrugged after his silence.
"I'm sure he's fine, I guess."

"So what, you haven't talked to him since that night at the hospital?" Kate raised an eyebrow.
"Come on, Moosh. He was just trying to help."

"We'll he did it the wrong way... He... He tries too hard." Moosh sighed. He grabbed his crutch, and hobbled over to his bed.
"I'm fourteen, I can lie for myself."

Kate put her arm around Marshall's shoulders and ruffled his hair.
"You shouldn't have to. And in any case, the police did call after you checked in at the hospital. James could've made things a lot less complicated."

"By getting himself arrested? No... It's better this way." Marshall pulled himself onto his bed, swinging his leg up.
"Mom doesn't know it happened. No one saw it happened. It'll all be fine."

Kate sighed and ruffled his hair again.
"Yeah, well, maybe it's better that he's not involved. That kid is seriously messed up. Maddy called last night looking for him; she said he hasn't been home in a few days. Honestly, that boy is impossible."

Marshall got a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach... That maybe Jamie disappearing again was his fault...
"Yeah... Well, if mom hears about all this, she'll probably go Alice..."

"Ugh. I cannot stand Alice." Kate rolled her eyes.
"I'll keep this all on the down-low if it means avoiding her."

Marshall laughed lightly, knowing that he'd sealed Kate's lips. Alice popped out when the family needed some TLC, and this was one of those moments, assuming his mother found it all out.
"Mom's been herself all day though, so that's good."

"Hopefully it'll last this time."
