Chapter 101

"Was my duffle bag brought in?" I ask.

"Right here," one of the girls sets it on the couch for me.

I slip out of my jacket and place it over the armrest. Debbie looks down at my torn shirt. I begin to unbuckle everything and set my things on the table. The girls all stare at my mini arsenal, "The bath is right over here," Debbie says when I'm standing here in my cargos and bra. "Are you going to bathe me too?" I ask.

"Didn't peg you for a pick me girl," I shrug.

"Didn't peg you for a s****t," she shoots back.

I then continue with my leather straps to fit my weapons under my dress. I pause when she brings it out.
