Chapter Five

The following day we headed to Vegas. We told our parents good bye, and then we headed off, we decided to take Isaac’s and my Ford Mustangs. Before we left we decided that we would have a race, the girls all rode in my car, and the boys all rode with Isaac.  From where we live to Las Vegas it’s a six hour trip. We all knew that we would have to stop and get gas, and to eat. Since we decided to race it didn’t matter where we all stopped. Of course we each had maps and our tanks were full before we left. So we started the race at the house, and then who ever got to the hotel (which by the way we are staying at Grandpa Brady’s Palm Palace Hotel and Spa. This of course had a spa in it) first and checked in to our rooms (four in all) would win. We also had a bet going so that it was interesting. If the girls won the guys had to do something we wanted, if the guys won we had to do something they wanted.

 On the way to Las Vegas, we girls only stopped twice. Once was to get gas and pee, the second time we stopped we all had to pee and we got something to eat.  The last time we stopped we were only an hour away from the hotel. At that time I called Isaac, and asked him how they were progressing. He told us that they had to stop several times, and that they were about two hours away from the hotel. So I told them we were as well. I hated lying to him but I knew he was lying to me. After that we high tailed it to the hotel, I pulled up to the concierge, they got are bags, and were to park the car. Once I gave them a tip, we girls headed in to the hotel. Once we got to the desk, I asked for our room keys. As I was the granddaughter of the owner we got the highest floor. There were exactly five rooms up there. Four were bedroom the other was a living area and the only way to get in was the elevator and key. It was pretty neat. I asked if my brother had made it and the receptionist said no. I thanked her and asked her not to tell them we were her if they asked. She said she wouldn’t.

After that we headed to our floor. When we got in and settled down I called the guys and had them on speaker phone. I asked them where they were. They told me that they were about ten minutes away from the hotel. Elizabeth told them that we were only five minutes away and they had better hurry. We could hear Isaac start driving faster. It was funny, since we were already here. Of course after I got off the phone I called the front desk to see if grandpa was here, he was and in his office so I headed to go see him. He was my favorite at he was always around when we were growing up.

I was in my grandpa’s office and we were talking, he asked how things were going for me, and where my brother was. I told him that Isaac was on his way, as we raced to get here, and me being the fasted driver, we girls made it first. He laughed at that. He asked what why we had come to Vegas, I told him “the group decided that since we are 16 and all that we wanted to play in Vegas.” Grandpa looked at me and told me that that would be illegal as you have to be 21 to play in the casinos. I of course asked him “have you forgotten who we are? I mean grandpa, really, daddy got us all fake ids but he also gave us some other things. Oh and it is kind of like a graduation present.” “What do you mean a graduation present, you kids haven’t graduated yet?” “But grandpa, we did, we graduated May 30. We were even the valedictorians.  All seven of us graduated, and now we have to think about taking over the family business. Our parents told us last night that it wasn’t a coincidence that we all meet and all the good stuff, but they said that we have the month that we are here to decide if we are or not. And when we get home mom and daddy have something that they have to tell me and Isaac that has to deal with me.” “Oh, so they didn’t tell you everything.” “No, sir. Do you know what is going on as well?” “Well as it is my side of the family that started us all in the Mob and all yes, I mean hunny, why do you think we have all the money and you get everything you kids want. Plus it was all of our (grandparents) ideas for you kids to live behind you parents. That way you don’t see what goes on in the house. Not after you almost walking in on what you mom was doing to some people.” “Wow, grandpa really, Hmm so what should we do? 

Before grandpa could answer Isaac called, asking where I was. I told him I was sitting in grandpa’s office. Isaac started yelling at me, and telling me I was in big trouble. Did I ever mention that he is allowed to boss me around and all that? He was a boss over me, but not in a mean way. When he didn’t get his way he would get mad. But he never went too far with it. This time he told me that he had some words for me, but would wait until we were in private to tell me. After I hung up with him, grandpa told me I had better get to the room, before Isaac got to mad at me. And he never answered my question, and that was when I knew he wasn’t going to answer me.

I headed back to the room, and the guys were there. They were joking around with the girls. I asked them how their trip was, they all said it was good, they were sad that we won, but they knew that they had to do what we wanted. As soon, as they were all through talking Isaac, asked me to go into the bedroom so that we could talk, he never did anything in front of our friends, even though we had all lived together for a year now.  Once in the room, he told me that I should have never lied to him, that it was wrong of me to do. I told him that I was playing with him. He said didn’t care, what if something had happened, how would he know. I told him nothing happened, and we were all fine. He hugged me and told me to never lie to him again. I told him I would try my best not to.  Then he asked if we had made our minds up of what they were to do. I told him yes but we would all tell them after dinner. It was almost dinner time and we all wanted to go out to eat.
