When Kaitlyn walks in, Xander finally asks, “What’s the letter?”
“Well…”
“What?” asks Kaitlyn. “Good or bad?”
“You know that sweepstakes we entered last month,” she started, “that’d get us 1 million dollars and a trip to Mexico?”
“What happened?” Xander asks.
“And how only one family, four people, would win, out of millions and millions…”
“What about it?” Garrett asks.
“We won.”
The Miller family was much larger than the Bergs, with four children, rather than only two. They had many connections with the Bergs, though.
The father is Colby Oliver Miller. He’s in his early forties, is somewhat skinny, with a black buzz cut and piercing blue eyes. He wears many 3-piece suits, mostly because he’s a lawyer, with his brother Alberto, at Miller & Miller Law. He himself has no connections to the Bergs, though.
The mother, Leilani, is somewhat older than her husband, with short black hair, much like his, and brown eyes and a very smooth face. She never has really been a huge fan of makeup, but wears some when appropriate. She doesn’t wear much jewelry besides her wedding ring, but she does have three ear piercings. She’s a small time fashion designer, and used to work with the Berg’s mother, Larissa.
Malachi, the youngest son, is twelve, and somewhat short and scrawny. He has spiked hair, black just like everyone else in the family. He wears dark colors, baggy sweats usually, and never really socializes. His only friend is Garrett. He’s always been very secluded, and gets in many fights. And by fights, yes I mean fist-fights, not petty arguments.
The next oldest son is Leo Fernando Miller. He’s fourteen, and also dark like his younger brother. In fact, he and his brother are pretty similar all-around, looks and personality. He has brown eyes, and longish black hair, in a bed head cut. He has absolutely no friends, and the only times he socializes is when he plays Drum Hero with Malachi and Garrett, but only does it because of the game, not because of the people. He actually hates the people. He’s dating Garrett’s sister, Kaitlyn, which can cause some uncomfortable moments between them. He has some anger issues, but always refuses therapy and classes.
The second oldest is Kathleen, who is sixteen, tall, skinny, with blue eyes and long midnight black hair. She’s a typical vain teenage girl, always worried about her appearance, worried about who likes who, and all that stuff. She’s the normal “popular” girl. Garrett has a crush on her, and she’s still pretending not to know.
The oldest, a twenty-one-year-old, tall, muscular, well-put-together, brown eyed, black military cut hair, average father-clone, is Gerald Reese Miller. He’s in college right now, studying to be a lawyer. He never really had much of a connection with the Bergs, but is one of the only ones to notice how creepy the connections are. It’s as if, together, they’re the Biller family, or Merg family. He has moved out on his own.
Just like every day, Leilani is on the computer, while everyone else does their thing, and she opens up an interesting email, the subject box saying “Wahoo!” She opens it, and it says the Bergs have won a trip to Mexico and a million dollars, as she’s walking to the front room to tell everyone, there is Gerald at the door.
“Guys, I have some news.”
