ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON 15

Episode 98

" Don't tell that brother of yours any of this. "

Winston cut his eyes over at Joe as they sat up in their bed that night. Winston on his laptop and still mentally pondering what to do with the Gaines Investigation information. Joe reading the latest People magazine while wearing his nightly facial mask.

" I have to, Joe. It's Spencer's campaign. He wants to run a nice clean decent honorable campaign. "

Joe laughed. " Which is exactly why you should not tell the man. He's a rank amateur to the world of politics. Unlike you and I who grew up there. It's dog eat dog in that world. Only the very strong can survive. And the strong survive because they know all the secrets and how to use them. "

Winston took off his reading glasses and stared directly at his husband. " Are you telling me you actually want me to release all this? That your father is sleeping with Buckley Van Owen's wife? That his son is gay and in the closet? I don't think I can even if Spencer approves. Especially not the boy. "

Joe took the glasses from Winston's hand and put them on the nightstand. Winston's laptop soon followed. Then he pressed a kiss to Winston's mouth. " I don't care what you do to my sperm donor. The man hates me because I had the mere audacity to be born. I'm impressed he can still get it up though. " He laughed casually. " And , as for the boy .... B.J. Van Owen is not you. Besides maybe it'll be the push he needs to finally fly from his molding closet and be truly free. "

" Push or not, I can't do it to him ," Winston mumbled as he leaned over onto his husband and closed his eyes.

" Fine. Do it to my father. And , the wife. Nobody wants Van Owen as mayor of Hyattsville. Expose his hypocritical little life to save us all from his puritanical plans. I've met his campaign manager Jackson Holmes. Holmes would not sit on any of this for a second. And, neither should you. If you really want your brother to win use every weapon you get your hands on. "

Winston sighed. He hated it when Joe was right. He reached for his phone and dialed a number hesitantly.

After a couple rings it was answered swiftly.

" Sands. "

Winston replied," I have some information for you and The Washington Reign. But it can not be traced back to me. Or Spencer Norland-Lane. "

Scott stopped pacing about in his and Alexi's bedroom. " You want to be anonymous. Fine. What is it ? If it's credible I may be able to make tomorrow's edition. "
