“And did you say it back?”
“I actually said it first. But I don’t think it counts.”
She stared at me.
“The punch was spiked and it kind of tumbled out. And then I jumped ship.” As I said it, a horrible thought came to me. “Oh my God. Do you think I freaked him out by telling him that I loved him? And then he ran?”
“That depends.” She yanked on my towel.
“Chastity!” I screamed and tried to grab it, but it was too late. The Uber had just pulled up. And the driver had definitely seen my boobs.
“What?”
“You can’t just pull my towel down on the sidewalk!”
“Well I had to check to see if you were topless under there. And good news, you are. Which means Tanner didn’t run.”
“I don’t follow.”
“Guys don’t run away from naked boobs. It’s literally impossible for them to do.”
“Are you sure?”
Chastity nodded. “I could have taken my top off and kept the firefighters here all day, but I didn’t want the city to burn down in their absence. And the Uber driver is just sitting there staring at us.”
“Hmmm…I guess you’re right.”
“Of course I am! Did Tanner say anything else before he was taken?”
“Uh… He said that he’d known I was special from the moment I started stalking him. And that he liked when I hit him with a door and laughed in his face. And that he loved me. Oh! And that he was done running.”
“I really wish you had told me that sooner. I know exactly what’s happening.”
“You do?”
“Yeah. He’s sending you on a sexy scavenger hunt.”
“You getting in?” asked the Uber driver.
“Hold on,” said Chastity. “We’re discussing something very important here.”
He looked annoyed, but then she flashed him. After that he seemed more than happy to stick around.
“I really don’t follow your logic here,” I said.
“He said he loves you stalking him. And then mentioned running. All the hints are there.”
“Okay…so where do we start?”
“Well I bet Nigel was in on it. Which means the hunt was supposed to begin in that bathroom.”
“Right. That explains how Nigel locked us in. He must have rigged it ahead of time.”
“Exactly. Which means…” Chastity’s eyes lit up. “Oh my God! The firefighters were part of it! We were probably supposed to suck their cocks to earn our second clue.”
“What?! Why would Tanner want us to do that?”
“Uh…because it’s asexyscavenger hunt. What else would we do with a bunch of hunky firefighters?”
