shorts is Wolverine,” Boom Boom
says. “The guy in the green shorts is Stingray.”
I watch as Wolverine breaks Stingrays nose. Blood gushes from his nostrils as
he collapses to the mat. The crowd roars as if their favorite team just scored
a game-winning goal. I notice a few people put their heads in the hands and
tear up their tickets. I guess they picked Stingray to win.
Someone slides their hand under my shirt and rubs my stomach. I spin around,
ready to fight. I’m shocked to find a gorgeous, scantily-clad girl standing
beside me, her hand still pressed against my abs. Her long, black hair creates
an open curtain around her bronze face, and her slender body glistens with
sweat from the hot and humid auditorium. She’s wearing a skimpy bikini, and it
takes all my self-control to look into her eyes and not… elsewhere.
“Hello handsome. Would you like a dance?”
I gulp and struggle to keep my voice from cracking. I see her name stitched
across the top of her bra. Ivory .
“Uh… hey, Ivory. That sounds… um…”
Ivory grabs my shades and slides them over the top of my head.
“You have such pretty blue eyes. Why don’t you come with me into the back and
I’ll give you the first dance for free?”
“F… free?”
Boom Boom storms over and shoves Ivory, nearly knocking her to the floor.
“Back off, lady. He’s mine .”
Boom Boom snatches my hand and drags me away yet again.
I crack a grin. “Aww, you’re jealous. How cute.”
“I’m not jealous. We have a mission to complete, and you keep fooling around.”
I wring free from Boom Boom’s iron-clad grasp. “So what are we doing? You’re
stomping around like you’re looking for something.”
“I’m looking for a bookie,” Boom Boom says, adjusting her goggles as she scans
the faces of people walking by.
“Hm. I still don’t understand where all these people came from. I mean, where
are their cars? This factory is in the middle of nowhere. They couldn’t all
have walked.”
Someone else brushes up behind me. I know it’s another stripper when Boom Boom
starts to growl.
“I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation,” the blonde-haired beauty
purrs. “The parking lot is behind the factory, deep in the woods. Did
you guys really walk all the way over here?”
“Er, no,” I say, struggling to find my voice. The way beautiful women can make
me stumble over my words is embarrassing. “We, uh, had someone drop us
off.”
The girl chuckles and leans in so close that our lips nearly touch. She opens
her mouth, and the scent of strawberry gum filters into my nostrils. “You’re
cute. Why don’t we go in the back for a little fun?”
Boom Boom shoves the girl so hard she actually does fall to the floor. She then
drags me off yet again, grumbling about how I’m an idiot.
While Boom Boom searches for someone to place a bet with, I continue looking
for celebrities and politicians. I could totally blackmail half these people.
If the government found out they were here, they’d go to jail for many, many
years.
I continue scanning faces until I come across one that causes my heart to skip
a beat. And my heart nearly stops when the person looks directly at me.
I grab Boom Boom’s arm and yank her behind a concession stand.
“What is it?” she asks.
I place my finger against my nose. “Shhh. I think I saw
