"You're lying," Dore stated.

"He's right over there..." I whispered to her, "Lower your fucking voice."

We were at Dore's bar. It was at night time by now. The Ferris boy was at the bar ordering drinks. He was socializing with the bartenders under Dore. Dore had luckily been at the bar and she was freaking out by the new that a Ferris had walked his ass over to the 5 family resort and was just sitting around as though his family hadn't completely gone bat shit when we were kids.

"He doesn't look familiar," she stated, "He could be another Ferris. It could just be some big ass coincidence."
"Did the Ferris have a son that you know about?"

"I'm not sure."

"Dore, I need you to think! These people are fucking dangerous. They killed my fucking dad. They went against the families."
"I'll go find Micki. She'll know. Her and her mother kept up with all the families."

Fuck...

I didn't want to get Micki involved at all. I didn't want to ask for her help.

"What should I do in the meantime..."

"Stall him..don't let him leave."
Fuck.

Dore walked away and I walked towards this Orion Ferris. It could just be one big coincidence. There could be thousands of people in the world named Ferris and one of them could have happened to just walk into my resort. Right?

"Hey thought you forgot about me," he stated.

Hell if his family was a family of Judas traitors that had been banished, at least he was a handsome one. He gave me a smile when I sat next to him at the bar. The bartender came over to me almost immediately.

"Would you like anything Mr. Bah."

I shook my head, "No thanks."

He smiled again, "It must be nice."
"What?"
"Owning something like this."

"Well it happened at a bad time," I stated shaking my head, "My brother was actually the owner. He died and I took over it."

"And your name is Gene right," he said.

He knew my name.

"How'd you know?"

"Moreen Island isn't that big. I came and went a lot. I never stayed too long here usually just came during the summers to visit my family."

"Your family stay here still."

"Oh no...not anymore," he said smiling, "But anyway...I got a lot of friends here actually so it all worked out for the best...and wow...there goes one of them now."
At that moment I saw Jakoby walking up.

"Orion?" Jakoby said.

He looked a little surprised to see the guy Orion here. I was surprised to know they were friends. I mean Jakoby did make friends everywhere he went. It made me nervous though to know that Orion could know Jakoby. I was so protective of Jakoby as a friend.

"You two know each other?" I asked.

"Jakoby and I used to surf together," Jakoby answered.

Orion didn't strike me much of the surfer type but then again looking at him he seemed like he might like the rush of surfing or something. I crossed my arms. This was kind of awkward standing here between these two. Moreen Island was way too small.

"You two know each other?" Orion asked almost immediately after.

Jakoby nodded, "Yeah, Gene is like my best friend."
