In general, Ollie was a patient man. On a normal day, it took a fair amount to get under his skin. The past little while, since his sister had decided that it was a good idea to get involved with a bad decision making Freakboy, had hardly been filled with normal days.
So yes, he was a little bit on edge.
He sat, diligently as ever, in Rae, Elliot and David's sleeping area, which had currently been temporarily re-purposed into Ollie, Laney and Ben's sleeping area, doing what he considered his part in seeing to affairs for a guy that he didn't even like. Part of him was sorely tempted to go through the younger Zimmerman's left-behind belongings, see what good things he had to be traded. If he turned, he wouldn't need them anymore, right? It was an uncharacteristically morbid thought for Ollie, but he'd never been faced with the thought of his sister having legitimate feelings for someone. It was always quick flings and whatever else.
A flicker of frustrating anger bubbled up inside of him and after scanning the area to see if he was alone, he wandered up to one of the bags he'd seen David toss to the floor when they'd gotten to the island.
It was a foolish act of revenge for something David was probably not really responsible for, but Ollie would deal with that guilt later, if it came. He unzipped the front compartment of the bag and looked through it, for something to claim as his own, moving from compartment to compartment when each one turned up empty.
"Don't you have anything useful, Freakboy?" he asked no one in particular.
