*After some time passes...the upstairs door opens and Tommy lumbers down slowly with a bottle of whiskey and shits down on the couch staring at the fire and lays back*

Tommy= Sheamus....im done...were done with this

Sheamus= Tommy dont be like that man. just have a drink youll be fine

Tommy= Lissa? ...you around?

Sheamus= I think she is getting changed...came down looking like she was in a storm..

Tommy=right..

Lissa finds a change of clothes and heads down to where everyone is, "...has anyone told Claire yet?"

She sat down next to Tommy. Putting her hand on his knee she said, "it'll be fine. Like I said, it doesn't seem like that right now but it will be."

*looks round...looks at Sheamus and Logan*

Tommy= You didnt see shit!!

*Lunges and kisses Lissa and holding her and then lets go and downs his flask*

Tommy=....uh yea...i suppose

*Logan and Sheamus look at each other and Logan stands up and pounds his fist*

Logan=Dam it fine...you were right!

*Hands Sheamus 20 bucks*

Sheamus= Could totally tell hahahaha!!!!


Tommy=..So..how the hell are we gonna deal with this...seems like all we do in thie family is hide things from people.

*getting comfy and laying back on the couch putting his leg across lissa's as a support*


Tommy=Not us sweety...i mean in general...you know...parents and what not.

Logan=Any ideas...anyone...maybe we can tell Claire he left her an skipped town?

Lissa kisses him back, glad for the opportunity but slightly embarassed with the audience.

She coughs nervously, "uum...yeah..."

"Wait you're not seriously thinking about NOT telling Claire?! You have to tell her!"

Sheamus=Well its kinda hard to tell her.."oh we took your future husband on a IRA operation and made a border conflict near North Ireland."...and your family is responsible for his death.

Tommy=Has a point there dear

Logan=I Dont like lying to my daugher...

Tommy=Ill tell her!

Logan=Not the point!

"Okay, so we tell her that he happened to be in the area of the terrorist attack when it went off and one of the officers shot him, thinking he was one of the terrorists. She's going to hear about the attack regardless and stretching the truth is safer than full out lieing. It's more believable. We just need to figure out what he was doing in the area in the first place," she looks at Logan and Sheamus, "You guys know the area. What could he have been doing over there?"

While she was talking she absentmindedly squeezed Tommy's foot.

Oh no. No no no... Claire...! Oh God Claire! *Puts head in hands and starts shaking.* This is going to kill her. *Shakes head* Seriously going to kill her... *Sits there soaking it in then looks up at Sasha.* We can't let on that anythings happened until after the party. When would be the best time to tell her? *Laughs darkly.* Like there IS a good time...

Alright. *Stands up and moves to the door.* I'm gonna go make sure she has a blast before her world crashes down around her. You go find out what my family intends to do. Give Tommy a hug for me. I'll be see you all when this is over. *Kisses Sasha and gets back to the party with a big smile.*

Sasha= I shall go to your home..and talk to the familys. It will be okay Anna's...Sasha will fix.

*Sasha leaves the party and drives to Logans house and walks in the door*...*then he opens the door and walks in nervously*

Sasha= Tommy..Logan...Anna wants to know what we are going to tell Claires

*Sasha looking at Drews body in the back*

Sasha= Oh boy...this i cannot fix

Tommy=We were gonna go with the idea that Drew was in the wrong place the wrong time ...that he happened to be driving by the bridge during the attack and a cop shot him mistaking him for a terrorist.

Logan= You mean IRA soldier

Tommy= Yea that...we were going to tell her sometime after the party though....let her have her fun.

*Tommy gets up and lights a cig up and walks by the window*

Tommy=Sasha...FYI when we get back to Duedas...were done.

Sasha= I do not think so comrade...i am sorry about this...but my family had nothing in hand with this...if anything you only have yourself to blame. My uncle gave all of your instructions NOT to do anything stupid while on vacation...what do you do...just that.

Sasha= We will not suffer for your in ability to protect people, so shut up...and sit down and do as you are told.

*Tommy looks at Sasha stunned more for the fact he manage to complete a full sentence than his harsh words*

Tommy= Right..well..*Tommy sips his drink*...then me for them...let them out...and ill keep working

Lissa stands up quickly, "Tommy! Stop it! Didn't you just say that you didn't want to be Drew...and that you didn't want me to be Claire? So why the heck are you suggesting that you should go off and do work for another family while your sister and I sit at home all safe and sound?" she raises her voice to a yell, "NO! Because that means I'd spend all my time worrying my head off about you...you can't do that to me! Or even worse! NOT telling me what's going on until I get word from Alexi or whoever that you 'skipped out'!" she even raises her fingers in mock quotes, "I've told you this before, I'm SO going to be there! Tommy, while you were passed out I told you that I wouldn't ever let you leave. Shoot, I can't and I won't!" she calmed down slightly and in a quieter tone she says, "...you've got to understand that..."

Tommy=Skipped out!!! Skipped Out!!? Id never do that to either of you!...I Jus..

Sasha=Enough!...It would seem that Lissa wants it all or nothing, as in either all of you stay or none of you. And sadly the latter option is not included, now its obvious that she has no intrest in you doing this life and work by yourself. Besides its always alot more fun to work with people you trust...or even love.

Logan=Wheres your accent?

Sasha= heh...none of your concern, the fact remains

*goes and hugs both Lissa and Tommy*

Sasha=We are going to REMAIN....one big happy family ha ha, Now pardon me i have to get back to Anna's party.


Tommy=*with his head slumped down* Im sorry babe...sometimes its the only reaction i know...why do you put up with me again *smiling* hahaha

Tommy=Wow ok we need to figure where we are gonna put Drew...Claire wont think our story is true if he's just laying on the kithen table

Lissa stares oddly at Sasha as his accent somehow manages to disappear. She opens her mouth to point it out but decides that it might be better not to but then Logan did it for her so she just looked at him and shrugged.

"Tommy, he's right. I don't know what you did to put yourself into a situation that you couldn't get out of but I AM saying all or nothing here. And you know exactly why I put up with you," she smiles.

"As for Drew, where would his body be if what we're saying happened really did happen. Whether that is in the hospital morgue or already sitting in a coffin..." she pauses realizing the graveness of her words, "he needs to be there for her to believe it."

((no pun intended))

Tommy=Alright i got this....uncle Logan is there anyone that you may know that works at a Morgue or Hospital thats good for the cause?

Logan=I know a guy at the city morgue...

Tommy=Alright..we have someone call up Claire pretending to be a police officer, seeing as i have a bullet wound ..*looks at himself* ...several bullet wounds i will be in a ...uh wheel chair...with you guys. Just like i got outta hospital.

Tommy=We need someone dressed up as a cop or two...but someone who she has met and not likley to meet again fill out the proper police report. Does he have family ?


Sheamus=No not really, died died when he was 8 and his mother last year...and no siblings

Tommy=ok thats a plus *points to Lissa* ok i need you to get your hands on some real medicl supplys...we gotta make it look real ...like i was at a legit hospital and not patched up here...Well have Franky and Carmine clean up the house to get rid of evindence...and last we give Claire ...Drews share of money, he would want that

"Okay, we don't have too much time though. It would probably be a good idea to have everythingready before she gets back from the shower," Lissa grabs her shoes and puts them on, "where's the hospital? I figure the best place to get hospital looking supplies is directly from the hospital...heh..."

Tommy=No worries shes not upstairs taking a shower ...im pretty sure shes with Anna at the party...ok Lissa *draws some directions to a medical supply store* This has what u will need...and u can buy it with out people asking too many questions, wheel chair, bandages...etc oh oh...and maybe one of them neck brace things too !

Logan= Alright...Me and Sheamus will bring Drew to the morgue and get him preped.

Tommy=make sure they clean him before we show him to Claire, Im going to stay here and wait for Lissa to get the supplys ...ill throw it on...and once Claire arrives here well explain what the deal is...and meet you at the Morgue

Tommy=Crap..Sheamus.....you cant be seen!!! thats right you were on that prison transport and your face is going to be everywhere....crap..what now?!

"Right...that would make more sense...heheh...wouldn't it?" Lissa takes the directions and heads for the medical supply store intending to buy everything they would need. And more if she could think of a good use for it.
