Thornton Sibling Gathering
Apr. 3rd, 2015 10:13 amThey meet at James' house on Friday night after James gets off his shift, and he barely has time to change out of his suit before he hears a knock on his front door and June's voice calling out for him. He puts away his workout bag and finishes changing his clothes then heads downstairs to greet his baby sister. She's come with the food, nearly one of everything from the menu at Quill, enough food to satisfy all their cravings for greasy food tonight, and he's looking at the bags and boxes with a smile but he's isn't sure tonight is one of celebration or what.
Demetri just said on the phone that they needed to talk, that the information James and Daniel wanted him to investigate had turned up, and James knows Demetri. Whatever he found, it isn't good otherwise all this sibling pow-wow business wouldn't have been necessary. All of his fears about Father being up to no good with that over-the-top dinner party for Amelie and Daniel were slowly coming to fruition.
He pulls out the plates and silverware and places them on the table, giving June a hug around the shoulders as he passes. June has been busy with her semester at St. Bernadette's, which in James' book is a good thing compared to her excessive rich-girl-party routine she had going last year, but he would be even happier to have his little sister around where he can keep watch on her at all times.
June takes a sip of the frozen coffee and gives James a pointed eyebrow. "So what's this all about James?" she asks just as the door swings open again and Demetri comes rushing through it already slipping out of his suit jacket, tossing it on James' couch as he comes into the kitch. He looks tired. Compared to James' job at the station, Demetri's work for the mayor kept him in nothing but headaches. It showed too.
Maybe it's a good thing Daniel is the last to arrive. It's his choice of girlfriend that probably started all this.
James takes a cheese fry from the container and eats it, looking at both Demetri and June. "I think Father is out to prove how much he loves us. Like always. Let's just wait for Daniel," he says, checking his watch. "He's late."
