тАЬYou maythink so,тАЭ David said, flashing his teeth fiendishly. He paused at one end of his route and
hefted the backpack experimentally. тАЬGood God, McLean, whatтАЩve you got in hereтАФlead?тАЭ

тАЬYou should know. YouтАЩve been watching me like a bloody hawk ever since I started.тАЭ

David drummed his fingers absently on the shiny metal. тАЬNegatory, my man, you had this thing half full
before I ever got here. All youтАЩve put in since thenтАЩs a pair of stinky britches.тАЭ

Alec ran a hand unconsciously through the soft, neat spikes ofp. 12brown hair he had affected lately.
тАЬWell, if youтАЩve got to know, itтАЩs full of extra clothes, among other things. I have a way of needing them
when we go camping. It inevitably rains, or somebody spills beer on me, or worse. I figured if I packed
stuff that was dirty to start with, maybe my luckтАЩdтАФтАЭ

тАЬDamn!тАЭ David groaned loudly and slapped himself on the forehead. тАЬDamn! Damn! Damn! Iknew
there was something I forgotтАФI didnтАЩt raid PaтАЩs beer stash. IтАФWhatтАЩre you grinning at?тАЭ

Alec patted the backpack meaningfully, his face fairly glowing. тАЬFigured you wouldтАФforget, that is. So
letтАЩs just say that what you so frivolously referred to as lead isтАФhow shall I put it?тАФa little bit more

тАЬYou didnтАЩt . . .тАЭ David began dubiously, his eyes growing wide as Alec nodded and raised two fingers.
тАЬYoudid! Two six-packs? Oh lordy, lordyтАФat the ripe old age of seventeen Dr. McLeanтАЩs only boy
finally becomes a rebel!тАЭ

He sat down on the foot of the bed and fell backward behind the suitcases, giggling uncontrollably.

тАЬThatтАЩs notquite the reaction I expected,тАЭ Alec responded with forced dignity, but the dour facade
dissolved as his gaze met DavidтАЩs and a new chorus of giggles erupted. тАЬSnagged a bottle of bubbly
while I was at it, to toast the quest with,тАЭ he added with a smirk.

David levered himself up on his elbows, his face still flushed. His eyes glistened. тАЬWhat quest?тАЭ

тАЬFor the Holy Grail of Knowledge, fruitloop.тАЭ Alec dipped his head toward the two suitcases. тАЬOr more
accurately, the Holy Shrine of Our Lady of MTV and Saint Shopping Mall.тАЭ

тАЬThat assumes they have MTV in Valdosta, and even if they do, that theyтАЩve also got it at the college

where weтАЩre supposed to be staying. We ainтАЩt roominтАЩ at the Ritz, after all.тАЭ

тАЬWell, itis in south Georgia, but that doesnтАЩt mean theyтАЩre entirely uncivilizedтАФтАЭ

тАЬIt also assumes we can leave campus once we get there.тАЭ

тАЬGod, Sullivan, youтАЩre starting to sound like me!тАЭ
