He got his phone out and used the ‘Find Me’ function. We followed it to the downstairs bedroom that Zak had mentioned. There were two security guards at the door, and I could hear Halle and Brook’s voices through the closed door.
“I said ‘no!’” Halle barked.
“Calm down. I thought you wanted a threesome,” Zander said.
“No, you and your goons dragged us in here,” Brook said.
“Listen, bitc …” was all he got out before it sounded like he was choking.
Fritz and Flo blocked me from going postal.
“You can’t go in there,” one of the guards said.
Fritz wasn’t playing around. He shoved the one on the right into the other one, and Flo drew her gun to cool their jets. The door was locked, and Fritz tried to kick it in. If it hadn’t been so serious, I would have laughed when he about broke his leg. A solid-core door wasn’t easy to break down. I stepped forward, felt above the door casing, and found the key. Fritz gave me a withering look and took it from me.
We needn’t have worried about Brook and Halle. Zander was curled up in a ball as they took turns kicking him. I was glad to see that Brook had been listening to Cassidy when she said to take them down and keep them down. I scooped up both girls to keep them from killing him and almost became their new piñata. As soon as they figured out it was me, they both broke down, crying and clinging to me.
“I knew you’d come save us,” Halle said.
“I knew she shouldn’t be alone with him, but he said he wanted to clear the air,” Brook explained.
Zander slowly got up. I could tell someone had connected with his family jewels by the way he kind of hunched over.
“You’ll pay for this,” Zander hissed.
“David, do you remember when you asked me what you should do if you had a dead hooker in your trunk?” Fritz asked me.
“Does that apply to sleazy actors and their security guards?” I asked.
“Just say the word,” Fritz said.
The scary part was I thought Fritz was 98% serious. Zander must have been a believer because he stopped making comments and quickly left.
I was not a happy boy when Fritz, Flo, and Trip left me to deal with two crying girls. I was never so happy in all my life as when Cindy opened the door and joined us. The Ohio State group must have just gotten here.
“Looks like your usual charms have fled you,” Cindy observed.
“You think?” I asked, which caused both Brook and Halle to giggle, even though they still had tears on their faces.
“So, what did Boy Wonder do?” Cindy asked.
“He saved us,” Halle said.
“It looked like you two had things well in hand,” I observed.
Brook told Cindy about Zander and his previous attempts at forcing himself on Halle. He’d come to the party and told Halle that he wanted to make amends. Brook had gone with her, and when the girls found he was taking them to the bedroom, they’d refused. That was when his security had pushed them into the room, and Zander had locked the door.
Zander had visions of some kinky bondage-related threesome. Brook dissuaded him when she’d punched him in the throat. Halle followed through with a kick to the ’nads that took him to the ground. They then tag-teamed him as they kicked the stuffing out of him.
“It sounds like David saved the day,” Cindy said with a smirk. “Brook, do you think it would be okay to reward the boy?”
“You were always the one who was going to ruin my reputation,” I said to Cindy.
“I’m not sure,” Brook said.
“David, go and do something manly while I talk to these two,” Cindy said.
I was at the door when I looked back and saw Cindy kiss Brook. Mr. Happy almost seized control, but the big brain decided to let Cindy try to corrupt my girlfriend. With respect to Brook considering being with a girl, Halle had already cracked that door open. If anyone could slam that door open the rest of the way and convince Brook that a little girl-on-girl action was more than okay, it was Cindy. I was sure that I would be asked to tag in and participate in the fun at some point.
I almost turned back in to save her until I heard the moan. That was Brook letting me know she was getting aroused. I decided to go grab another soda at the bar. I saw that Zak had brought the food out. My guys and the men from USC were in the process of laying waste to the spread.
My phone buzzed, and I saw there were text and voicemail messages from basically everyone. I’d forgotten that when I sent an alert, it went to all the people who had the app on their phone. I quickly fired off a text to everyone, saying that I’d simply lost Brook and had now found her. Then I heard:
“Check … check.”
It was coming from the back area. It sounded like Jett from Birthrite. I hurried to the back, and sure enough, they were setting up to play. I made the rounds to say hello to Hana, Riley, and Amy. Jett wanted more than just a hug.
“Guess who got a record deal,” Jett said.
“Wow, really?! That’s great.”
“We need to come up with a couple of more original songs, but we started recording a couple of weeks ago.”
“Why are you playing this party if you’re big-time stars?” I teased.
