Home sweet home

Dean drives home from work, he doesn’t know what to expect when he arrives. He pulls his car into the driveway, Brooke’s car is there, so her and Richard are definitely back from practicing driving. Alexa’s car is nowhere to be found, she must have left at some point, possibly this morning.

Dean goes into the house and is greeted by no one, the house was relatively quiet. He continues his normal routine of going to the kitchen first thing. Surprisingly there is food ready for him, he eats and listens to see if he can hear anybody or if anyone will join him. Nobody comes and he finishes eating alone.

Dean goes upstairs to his room, he stops at Richard’s closed door for a second but there aren’t any unusual sounds coming from there. He continues to his bedroom, Brooke isn’t there. Where could she be? Dean changes and throws his clothes in his hamper. Dean had a moment of realization, the flash drive!

Dean looked through his hamper checking the pockets of the pants and shorts in there. There wasn’t a lot of clothes in there. Dean thought maybe Brooke took some of his clothes down to do the laundry. He went downstairs to check, he passed by Richard’s door again, no audible sounds.

Dean reaches the laundry room and goes in. He checks the piles of clothes that haven’t been washed yet, no luck. He hopes Brooke didn’t find it in one of his pockets. He checks the washer, nothing in it, he checks the dryer and there are some clothes there.

Dean finds his pants and goes through the pockets. He found the flash drive! He puts it in his pocket and is about to leave but then he heard some noise coming from close by. Brooke’s office?

Dean walks to the door which is closed but not latched shut. He gives it a knock before pushing the door open.

Brooke is sitting at her desk looking through her drawers. She looks up and notices Dean, “oh hi Dean. Is it that time already? I’ve been just so busy.” She continues to rummage through her things. Dean watches her, “You okay?” She looks a bit flustered, “Yeah I just can’t find something...” Dean asks, “I can help, what are we looking for?” He takes a step towards her. Brooke stops him, “No it’s okay don’t worry about it, it’s not important.”

Dean feels the flash drive in his pocket, ‘she must be looking for this’ he thinks to himself. Dean takes a step back towards the door, “Well good luck.” Dean exits and heads back upstairs to his room.

Dean passes Richard’s room again but doesn’t stop, he knows Brooke isn’t in there. Dean collects his laptop from his room and takes it into the bathroom. He takes a seat on the toilet and opens his laptop. He takes out the flash drive and plugs it in.

Dean’s computer won’t recognize it, it won’t show up. He tries to blow on it like that would actually work. Nothing would work. Dean thought about how to fix the issue... the flash drive went through the wash and then went into the dryer. The flash drive was broken, Dean missed the opportunity to have a copy of the porno Brooke made, well there was another copy in Brooke’s office, maybe he could get his hands on that.

Dean closes his laptop and exits the bathroom. Defeated in his attempt to watch Brooke’s sex tape, he heads downstairs again. Richard’s door is open now but he isn’t there.

Dean gets downstairs just in time for Brooke and Richard to turn the corner of the hallway from Brooke’s office into the living room.

“Oh hey, we’re going for another driving lesson.” Brooke says. Richard just stands there and doesn’t say anything. Dean remembers they specifically went earlier today to drive, “Again?” Brooke looks at him with a smile, “Richard’s got to learn how to drive at night silly.” Brooke and Richard try to pass Dean to the front door but he stops them.
