Chapter 2
Howie and AJ
settled into their rooms. After claiming beds,Howie sank down onto his. AJ gave
him a sympathtic glance. He grabbed the phone and began to dail. Hopefully this
would Howie some energy.
"Who are you calling?"He asked.
AJ smiled."Room serivce! Want anything?"
Howie shook his head much to AJ's dismay. He had no appatite. Why should he?
His life had just been threatened. Laying there he listened to AJ order a beer.
"Aren't you a little young to be ordering that?" He asked, a little
annoyed that AJ planned to drink.
"That's where you come in."AJ explained."You could pass off as
being thirty if you wanted to!"
"I'm only twenty-two."Howie sighed."I'M just old enough
to be legally drinking! You're only seventeen!"
"So."AJ shrugged."Never stopped you."
Howie blushed when he remembered telling AJ about the time he drank at his best
friends Sweet 16 party. Shaking his head he silently cursed himself for that
story.Suddenly there was a knock on the door. AJ beamed.
"Refreshments!"
He got up and opened the door to see a girl standing there holding his beer.
But it was already opened.
"Uh...is that really sanatary?"He asked.
"I could help you drink it."She offered ignoring his
question."Beer is always better with two."
AJ smiled slightly at her offer."Sorry I've got a girlfriend, and she
wouldn't appricate it. Right Honey!"
"Shut up!" Howie's reply was bogged with sleepiness.
"Oh come on."The girl pressed AJ up against the wall. Setting the
beer down she shoved her hands into his back pockets."Aren't you up for a
little fun?"
"Okay you have to leave now."AJ steered the girl for the
door."I'm pretty sure when I ordered this beer I asked them to hold the
prositute."
She glared at AJ as he shut the door in her face. Picking up his beer he walked
into the other room to find Howie curled up in bed.
"That tired D?" He asked in amuesment.
When he recived no answer he flopped down on his own bed. He swiftly drank his
beer. It was his turn to be look out. Hopefully later one of the guys would
come and relieve him.
After a while AJ found himself getting unusally tired. He yawned and laid down.
As his eyes drifted shut he figured if anything happened he would wake up.
***
The young girl stared at the door in disgust. The man who had ordered the beer
couldn't have been much older then seventeen. She looked down at the door key
in her hand with guilt. Why did she agree to be part of this?
"Did you get it?"The deep masculine voice made her jump.
"Yeah."She whispered."Why do you want their room key
anyway?"
"Let's just say the future looks alot brighter for us."He laughed.He
suddenly grew completely serious."Did you put what I asked you to inthat
man's drink?"
"I did that too."She sighed."They are both yours now."
The man started laughing.He was joined by other voices. The lady couldn't find
the others anywhere.One of them managed to choke something out between laughs.
"The future is defently brighter for us!"
