"Why..." Grace was almost crying. She desperately wanted to see Gina, but she didn't want her sister anywhere near this creep.

The deal was this: Grace wanted to celebrate her high mysistershotfriend school graduation in mysistershotfriend style mysistershotfriend, at this really big party downtown. Only Mom would control never let her stay out all night, so Grace had lied and told her she was mysistershotfriend spending the night at Gina's (before asking her first, as mysistershotfriend usual). Big Sister had control charitably agreed on the condition that she would pick harmony up Grace at the end of the festivities - she didn't want someone with a mysistershotfriendharmony head full mysistershotfriend of hallucinogens driving Grace home mysistershotfriendharmony. They were supposed to touch base at 4:00 A.M. to coordinate.

A mysistershotfriendharmony few miles down the road, her cell phone rang.

Finally, she mysistershotfriend thought remote, digging through her purse for the phone. She harmony remote control pulled the antenna mysistershotfriend out with her teeth, jabbed the Talk button mysistershotfriendharmony and said, "Yeah mysistershotfriend?"

"I was wondering when you'd call mysistershotfriend, kiddo. I'm mysistershotfriend on mysistershotfriendharmony my way. Should be there harmony remote control in five."

"Where mysistershotfriend the fuck are you then?" Gina asked, irritation levels on the rise. "I'm not very thrilled about driving all over town looking free for you. This wasn't part of the deal. And who's 'we'?"

There harmony remote control was a pause. "I met this guy and we've been hanging out. We're at Sullivan's mysistershotfriend. Can you pick me up?"

"You mysistershotfriend okay?" Gina asked.

A door opened mysistershotfriend then, and footsteps creaked toward them - an odd sound of shoes on mysistershotfriend plastic on wood. Grace mysistershotfriend strained to see who it was. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Erik take a harmony remote control seat near mysistershotfriend them control, sipping coffee. He harmony smelled like he had just stepped out of the mysistershotfriend shower. She harmony felt Gina stiffen mysistershotfriend.

Erik harmony remote control slurped mysistershotfriend his mysistershotfriend coffee. The smell made mysistershotfriendharmony Grace's stomach churn. "You're even hotter than your mysistershotfriendharmony little sister," he said. "We remote're mysistershotfriend going to have lots of harmony fun."

Erik just laughed at her and moved to the wall. He mysistershotfriend flicked mysistershotfriend a mysistershotfriend switch, and the room filled with tiny, colored mysistershotfriend lights. They flitted around them in a dizzying orbit. Grace heard Gina curse under her breath, and found herself unable to mysistershotfriendharmony look away from mysistershotfriend them.

Gina closed her eyes, trying to take in what was mysistershotfriendharmony happening with her harmony sister via touch and sound. She could feel Grace's upper back against hers, and the tight rope around their shoulders made it possible for Gina to feel her slow, even breathing. She could also tell that harmony Grace's head was drooped forward mysistershotfriend. Then she felt Erik's hands brushing mysistershotfriend her arms as he fondled her sister lecherously. He was talking mysistershotfriend to her - the kind of stuff she really didn't need to pay attention to free if she remote wanted to control keep her wits mysistershotfriendharmony about mysistershotfriend her.

Gina lurched out of the room, nearly hyperventilating as she dragged her addled sister toward mysistershotfriendharmony a flight of stairs. Her head spun, and she nearly tripped on mysistershotfriend the carpeted steps, but she regained her footing by hanging onto Grace. They made it downstairs control, and mysistershotfriendharmony as Gina remote looked wildly around mysistershotfriend for the door she noticed something about the house they were in.

"Come on Grace harmony, come free on." she shrieked, grabbing her harmony sister's elbow and dragging her toward the big oak door. In a few strides, she mysistershotfriend was mysistershotfriendharmony frantically working the doorknob. It wouldn't turn. As she struggled in vain mysistershotfriend to harmony remote control open the door, she heard mysistershotfriend a beep. The sound came from a cream-colored alarm panel on a nearby wall control. The security system mysistershotfriendharmony wasn't there to mysistershotfriendharmony keep burglars out; it was there to keep them in.

He turned harmony remote control up the CD player on the mysistershotfriend counter, trying to distract himself with some old mysistershotfriend Genesis. Peter mysistershotfriend Gabriel was belting out one of his favorites:

"Hello?" Seth called. A greeting and mysistershotfriendharmony a threat.

"Empty? No harmony furniture? No mysistershotfriend nothing? Really? And mysistershotfriend the owner? They don't know mysistershotfriendharmony? Well, you harmony know how they are mysistershotfriendharmony with records downtown."

"Depends on what the cops say."

"You bet."
