Alan peered around the doorway leading into the kitchen. Grandma, Lisa, Kyrano, even Maggie were running around trying to get all the food ready. They were so busy, Alan figured they'd never notice one canapé missing from the platter.

He thought wrong.

"Alan! Keep your hands away from those! They're for the party and you know it!" Grandma frowned at him.

Alan took one look at the wooden spoon in her hand and backed off. "I was just going to carry it out into the other room, Grandma."

"Humph, sure you were. Now, get out of here so we can finish up." She turned back to the stove. "And keep away from that cake too!"

Alan quickly pulled his finger away from the edge of the cake and wondered, not for the first time, if his grandmother had eyes in the back of her head. Muttering under his breath, he wandered back out into the hallway. I'm starving here. Why'd we have to do this all fancy anyway? I would have been happy with burgers on the grill.

"Hey, Al. What's up?" Gordon sauntered up to his brother, a grin on his face.

Alan took a step back. "What?"

"'What?' what?"

"Don't give me that innocent look. What are you up to?" Alan asked.

Gordon batted his eyes. "Me? Up to something?"

"Gordon," Alan said warningly.

"I need your help."

Alan shook his head. "No way. Look what happened the last time I 'helped' you." He held up his hands. "You're on your own this time."

"Alan, you wound me."

"Good."

Gordon chuckled. "Seriously; Virgil asked me to film the party. I could use an assistant."

"No funny business?" Alan asked doubtfully.

Gordon made an X across his chest. "I swear." Alan still looked dubious. "C'mon, Alan, please!!" Gordon pleaded.

"Please what?" Scott marched over to them. "What's going on? You'd better not be planning something. This is Virgil's birthday."

"I'm not planning anything, Scott." Gordon glared at his older brother. "I merely asked Alan for help filming tonight. Why do you always jump to conclusions?"

Scott arched one eyebrow. "Oh, I don't know, Gordon; you tell me." Then he broke into a grin. "By the way, Dad told me to order new furniture for my room."

Gordon looked confused. "And this concerns me, how?"

Scott grinned wolfishly. "Because I get to use your money." He laughed evilly at the stunned look on his brother's face. "Enjoy the party, Gords." He walked back down the hallway.

Gordon glared after him, then turned to Alan with a nasty smile of his own. "Alan, my friend, I think it's time we took matters into our own hands."

"No way! Not again!" Alan backed away in fear. "You do anything at this party and not only will Scott kill us, but there's Dad and Virgil, too!"

Gordon shook his head. "I didn't mean the party."

"Then what?"

"I still have those pictures of Scott. The ones from the other day." Gordon grinned. "Those'll knock him down a few pegs."

Alan burst out laughing. "That's for sure! Blackmail at its best."

"Right! So, are you going to help me tonight or what?" Gordon asked.

"Sure. Let's go get ready and grab the cameras." Together they set off down the hallway.
