By Kara Paige

March 29

Kara : Hello, Mr. Sinclair. Thank you so much for coming down.

Sinclaire: Long look before shifting eyes to Everly Hawthorne. I still don't understand why the fuck we're here.

Everly: Baby, be nice. She's just trying to do her job.

Sinclaire: Job? She's a journalist. They don't have jobs anymore.

Everly: All the more reason to give her our respect, hmm?

Sinclair clenches his teeth.

Kara : Laughs nervously. Well, how is it teaching freshmen how to ice skate?

Sinclaire: It fucking sucks, what do you think?

Everly: Honey.

Sinclaire: Baby, I'm answering her question. It was just a shitty question.

Kara : Well, okay, rumor has it Alexander Wolfe bought an NHL team and they're voting this summer on whether it gets to be part of the league.

Sinclaire: Is that your question?

Kara : Said rumor also says Mr. Wolfe is eyeing you as coach of that team.

Sinclaire: smirks No comment.

Kara : That's not an answer.

Everly: Actually, it is.

Kara: looks at Everly.

Everly: Um, I'm not trying to be rude or tell you how to do your job. But he did answer. Nowhere does it say he has to answer, in fact.

Sinclaire: Best tone down that look on your face. Just because you're dating the assistant coach doesn't mean you're untouchable.

Kara : Are you threatening me?

Everly: Cooper.

Sinclaire: I'm not threatening, just making a statement.

Kara : clears throat I noticed that your ex-fiancee recanted everything she said about you.

Sinclaire: She did.

Silence

Kara : Well, um, do you have a comment?

Sinclaire: No. There's nothing for me to say. The lying bitch admitted she's a lying bitch.

Everly: Language.

Sinclaire: Sorry. The lying cunt.

Everly glares.

Cooper smirks, softening.

Kara : Right, well, your brother was recently sanctioned and had to miss an important playoff game against Lakeshore because there was evidence he might have killed two frat boys a couple of weeks ago.

Sinclaire: You're pretty shit at your job, aren't you? I didn't hear a question.

Kara : Do you have a comment?

Sinclaire: Is Damien arrested currently?

Kara : Well, no…

Sinclaire: Then, there's nothing I have to say.

Kara : Okay, well, Mr. Sinclaire, your father –

Sinclaire: I'm not here to talk about my father.

Kara : exasperated Then what are you here to talk about?

Sinclaire: How much it sucks to teach freshmen how to skate.

Everly, knocking into him.

Sinclaire: Well, most freshmen. He grins at Everly before glaring at Kara . We done here?

Kara : so done with Titan shit Sure. It's not like I had anything else.

Sinclaire and Everly leave, hand in hand

Saint : popping in Want me to hit him?

Misty : He took out half a frat house. I think he could take you.

Saint: Rude.
