"It ain't nothing but a family thing."

He'd read that somewhere. Or maybe he'd seen it in a movie. He wasn't really sure. Things tended to get fuzzy sometimes and he had trouble keeping the facts straight.

Had he really drank the last third of the scotch or had Sophie dumped it when he wasn't looking? Was the situation with the Princess of Nambia real or was it a con that he had set up? Was he really doing good or was he merely doing what was good for him?

Anyhow, it didn't really matter where he'd heard it. The point was, it was true.

His grandfather had been a drunk. His father, too. And while he'd like to think he wasn't … well, the evidence and reactions of his team seemed to say otherwise.

Was this the fate his son would have suffered, too? He didn't know that either.
