OC POV

Dylan simply told Jason that they were going to pick up some games from Walmart and they were gone. It was easier than Justin would have thought. They both got into Dylan's car and were off. They had only been to the place once and it was for about 4 minutes.

During the ride, Justin was nervous. He kept thinking of what their Dad might say. Would he tell them that everything they heard is true? Would he deny it? Would he even tell the truth? Justin was more worried about how Lisa would react if their Dad was indeed lying.

Dylan had many questions of his own that he wanted to ask. That was part of the reason why he agreed to go with Justin. And he didn't want Justin to go by himself. Unlike Lisa, Dylan didn't trust his dad right away.

He wanted to see how often he would come over, or how much effort he would make to interact with them, before deciding that his dad was being honest about his endeavors.

The ride wasn't very long. Probably 5-10 minutes at most. Neither of the boys spoke the whole way there. Once they arrived Justin second-guessed his decision to come here in the first place. Why couldn't he have just left it up to Jason or Jacob?

Dylan and Justin both looked at the place where their Dad lived. It wasn't much of a place, to begin with. "Okay, just stay close," Dylan said getting out of the car. Justin followed suit, making sure to stay behind Dylan. They walked up to the door and Dylan knocked.

At first, there was no sound at all and Justin wondered if he was even home in the first place. Dylan knocked once more and they waited. After a couple of seconds, the door opened, but it wasn't their Dad behind it.

It was a middle-aged woman. She was petite with long dark hair and dark brown eyes. She wore a simple long t-shirt that stopped midthighs.

Dylan cleared his throat. "Um we are here to see Jonathan," he said looking at the woman. She quickly turned around and ran inside. Dylan walked in and Justin followed closely.

After about another minute there were two sets of footsteps coming down the hallway. The woman walked straight out of the house without sparing any of the boys a second glance. Justin turned his attention to Johnathan who in the least bit looked quite flustered.

"Did we interrupt something?" Dylan asked giving his father a once over. "Dylan? Justin? What are you two doing here?" he asked looking between the two. For all he knew they wanted nothing to do with him, so why did they suddenly show up at his home?

"Don't worry we won't be here for very long. We are just here to ask you a simple question," Dylan said looking around the room. Justin studied his features as Dylan spoke to him. He learned a fact during one of his late night gaming sessions.

You can tell if a man is lying just by studying his face, his actions. They will speak louder than any word. Justin was actually learning a lot from gaming. More than any of his siblings care to admit.

"We just want to know how serious you are about coming back into our lives?" Dylan asked folding his arms. Johnathan almost rolled his eyes. He didn't want to seem rude about it, but they had been asking him that question nonstop and he had given them the same answer every time.

"But before you answer that because I already know what you are going to say. I want you to know that your friend came to visit us at school. He says you owe him money. I just want to make sure we are getting the whole story here and you aren't lying to us." By the end of it, Dylan was directly in the front of Johnathan.

Justin watched as Johnathan's eyes slightly widened and he felt his heart sink a little. That kind of reaction could not be good. "I-it's not what you think it is," Jonathan started. "Then explain it to us, because right now it seems pretty clear to me," Dylan said.
