Alex chuckled though it was little more than a soft huff of breath. If there'd been footage, he probably could have used it as blackmail in its own right. The manliest Manes man of them all taken down by his cripple, gay, disappointment of a son. He'd never get over the shame. But then he had something else to pay attention to and his own brows flew up.
"Damn," he muttered. "The old bastard was right after all." Not about Michael. Alex was pretty sure he'd never be able to believe that Michael was some kind of terrorist. But he'd said that Michael was an alien and even though he'd seen a lot of things the last couple of weeks, even though he'd already all but accused Michael of it, it was still one thing to suspect and another to see for yourself.
"I was hoping he wasn't."
Not because it changed what he thought of Michael or Max or Isobel, but because of what it would mean if his father was actually right and compiling evidence. If he'd been delusional, it would have been so much easier to deal with. Of course, if he'd really thought his father was delusional, he would have turned him in at the first talk of aliens.
