Part 32: ************************************************************************* Jenn sat in the passenger seat as Alec drove the rental car through the streets of Louisville. "Do you have a plan?" Alec sighed as she stopped at a stop sign, "Not really. A couple ideas here and there but for the most part I'm winging it. I do plan on confronting her though. Force her into taking a paternity test." "Are you gonna tell her who you are? She might not just talk so openly to a total stranger." "I thought maybe I'd say I was one of Kevin's lawyers. If she doesn't buy it then I'll tell her the truth." "And if she still doesn't?" "Then I'll call David and get him up here to question her. All I want is the truth, and if that little bitch is lieing..." Cliff looked through the file on his desk and picked up his phone, dialing the number on the post it note. "Littrell." Brian answered his cell phone. "Brian, its Cliff. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but its been a very hectic time around here, plus took some digging." "That's okay. What did you find?" "Someone did try to halt your divorce proceedings years ago but they didn't succeeded, thats why some of the doctored pages look rather legitimate...some of them are." "What does that mean? And who tried to stop it?" Cliff flipped through his notes, "He tried to get the judge to stop the divorce from going through but it did, which means you are divorced from Cassie and legally married to Shannon. A Lou Pearlman..." Brian dropped the phone and quickly picked it up, "Who?" "Lou Pearlman?? Why does that name sound familiar?" "He's our...my former manager. Did he give a reason?" "Thought I read something about acting in your best interests...you two deserved a real chance or something. I can dig it up again for you." "That's okay. Would it be possible for me to have a copy of the papers?" "Course." "Great, I'll give you an address and you can courier them over? Just add it on the bill." Kevin and Howie watched as Brian stormed into the house, slamming the french door behind him. Kevin jumped, "What did the door ever do to you?" "I'm not in the mood for your sudden chipperness Kevin. I just found out half that stack of papers Lou gave me was legal..." "Oh god you aren't married to Shan?" Howie asked. Brian put his hand up, "He tried to stop the divorce from going through but wasn't successful, so I'm divorced from Cassie and married to Shannon but Cliff said the paperwork is so messed up you'd have to do a lot of digging to find that out. I'm having him send me the paperwork and then I'm going over to TransCon and having a little one on one with Lou. If you hear I've been arrested, don't worry." Kevin stood up, "Wait a damn minute Brian, if you go over there right now in the mood your in, you probably would get arrested and I don't think I'd blame you but he'd retaliate." "How?? My life's all ready hell." Brian interjected. "He's sadistic enough he'd find a way." Howie stated. E grabbed the ringing phone, "House of Revenge, Backstreet Style." she answered and heard someone laughing. "Hey E, its David." "Hi, so did he break?" she asked pulling the chair out and sitting down. "Oh he broke and broke and broke again." "Yes, what did he say?" "Well he's behind the photos but wouldn't come out and say it but he implied it, Lou is behind it and I got the big prize, the name and the woman in the pictures..." "A Miss Alannah Gray." E cut in. "How'd you..." "Did a little checking on my own. So you told Nick yet?" "Can't get a hold of him at home..." "Lis has his cell number I'll get it for you. Anything else?" "The pictures of Brian and Cassie he took too. All he saw was them hugging nothing else. I don't exactly think Brian was cheating on Shan, but Lou sure as hell wants to make it look that way. I'm thinking of having a meeting with Lou myself." "Are you sure that's a good idea?" "Didn't say I'd convinced myself just said I'm thinking about it. What are you up to?" She tapped her nails on the tabletop for a minute, "Do not tell the guys but we're digging in on Lou's past. Maybe he's got something he doesn't want known." "Need any help?? I think I've done as much as I can from this end." "Yeah, do you want to go through the records of his companies?" "Will do. If I find anything interesting your the first one I call."
