again. Jase gritted his teeth and his hand went to his belt where his handgun waited.
    “… I’ve got to go.”
    Jase finally spoke, “You’re not going anywhere.” He entered the room fully and closed the door as the two heads on the sofa whipped around in shock.
    “ Oh, fuck,” said Eag and tears rolled down his cheeks. Fucking pathetic.
    Nicole looked at him wide eyed as she stood up. She ’d clearly been sleeping until not too long before as she only appeared to be wearing an over-sized t-shirt. His eyes couldn’t help but run up her bare legs to where the bottom of her t-shirt hung. Goddamn she looks amazing. He gave her a tight smile before turning his attention back to Eag.
    His voice was low but harsh. “You’re going to tell me every-fucking-thing . You got that?”
    Eag whimpered and began to speak, explaining the entire mess he and the Doctor had created.
    Jase considered asking Nicole to leave, but she’d heard most of it already. And it was, after all, her room. As Eag was speaking she made her way over to him, and soon she stood beside him, her arm wrapped around his waist, her bare thigh pressed against his jeans. It felt good to have her back.
    As Eag finished outlining his story, Jase turned his head to the ceiling. “Fuck!” He shook his head.
    Like a knee-jerk response a voice immediately came from the hallway. “Yoo-hoo! Nicole!”
    Jase glanced down at her. She raised her eyebrows, rolled her eyes and shook her head in exasperation.
    “Sorry Belinda! I didn’t realize it was so loud. I’ll turn it down!”
    Jase grinned at her.
    “That didn’t sound like tee-vee-ee,” Belinda sing-songed from outside.
    “ Well it is. Sorry! Good night Belinda.”
    “ Can I come in?”
    “ Uh. I’m tired. Good night!”
    The door began to open anyway, slowly swinging towards them.
    “I’m naked!”
    The door slammed shut again. Jase looked down at her and grinned, shaking his head. He whispered into her ear, “Who wouldn’t want to see you naked?”
    Nicole let out a quiet laugh before whispering, “I don’t think she swings that way.”
    Jase spoke to Eag, “We need to speak. Alone.”
    Eag shook his head. “You’ll kill me.”
    Jase pulled out the gun. “I’ll kill you if you don’t talk to me.”
    A tear trickled down Eag ’s cheek as he slowly rose to his feet, having no choice in the matter. “Please, Jase. Please. I didn’t have to come here. I could have just gone.”
    “ But you didn’t.”
    “ Please, I—”
    “ Do you want to live?”
    Eag nodded.
    “Then come take a walk with me.”
    Jase looked at Nicole. “I’m so sorry.”
    “ It’s okay. I’m sorry I didn’t answer your calls.”
    Jase shook his head. “Look at this mess. You probably shouldn’t answer my calls. Fuck. Look what I’ve gotten you into.”
    She shook her head, then placed both her hands in his shoulders. Jase looked down at her. She rose up on her tiptoes and planted a sweet kiss on to his lips . He smiled down at her. She took his head into her soft hands and pulled it down, placing his ear next to her mouth. “Please, if you have to, do it off campus.”
    He pulled her ear close to his mouth and whispered, “I didn’t lie. I’m not going to kill him. I need his help.”
    She smiled up at him.
    “Goodbye Eag,” she said.
    “ Let’s go.”
    Eag exited first with Jase right behind.
     
     

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
    Nicole
    When he came back I was lying in bed, my eyes open, thinking about what Eag had told me. It seemed I’d been drawn into the inner workings of the club now, whether I liked it or not, and at a time of crisis at that. I should probably have been afraid, or nervous. But no, instead I was excited . I was waiting for Jase to come back to hear what had happened and how he’d dealt with Eag. And what would he do about the Doctor?
    I sensed rather than heard the door open silently when Jase returned. A whoosh of air passed over me and my eyes flicked over in the dim room to his
