were
there, how could I totally forget after seeing Mr. White waiting
for me in the hall? Music just had a strange effect on me and I
started to relax again and enjoy myself.
    That’s not the whole truth either. I knew Mr.
White was watching and I was putting on the best show possible
without being obvious. I envisioned him coming up to me on the
dance floor and one thing leading to another and then it cut to me
waking up in his bed.
    Colin and I were working up a sweat and I
asked him, “Have you been watching?”
    “ Non-stop and neither one of them have
taken their eyes off you.”
    “ I’m getting tired. Let’s go back to
the table,” I suggested.
    “ Whatever my lady wants,” he said as he
bowed to me.
    I bowed back and then he followed me off the
dance floor. We wormed our way back to the booth and sat watching
Army Boy and Mr. White at the bar.
    Army Boy had a disgusted look on his face but
Mr. White was just sitting there with hardly any expression at all.
A hint of a question loomed in his eyes, but that was it. Neither
one of them took their eyes from our table.
    Colin told me to move to my side of the booth
so we could get another drink. Might as well, I thought. I wasn’t
going anywhere until they did or I had enough courage to confront
them.
    We sat for a while before Sara noticed we
were again on separate sides of the table. She sauntered over and
asked if we needed something.
    Colin ordered a shot of tequila and a tap
beer. I knew he’d had a shot of something while I was gone. Tequila
was his choice of invincibility potions. I ordered another whiskey
with a Coke back and asked Sara, “Did you find anything out?”
    “ Not really. I went over to him and
tried flirting, but he must have it bad for you because he didn’t
even notice I was there.”
    “ Thanks,” I said and off she went to
fetch our drinks.
    We sat there quietly, me staring at Colin and
him at the bar.
    “ This is like a stare down,” he said as
Sara reappeared to drop the drinks off. Colin paid this time. It
was his turn. Sara was disappointed because I was a much better
tipper. I pulled another dollar out of my pocket and put it on her
tray at the same time Colin put his empty shot glass up there and
she walked away a bit happier.
    “ Here we go,” Colin said starting to
sign and simultaneously repeating what they were saying. “How many
has she had?” “Four, including this one.”
    “ Wow. They are really paying
attention,” I said. Colin didn’t hear me over the music.
    “ What have you found out?”
    “ Not much, I think she’s who she says
she is. She lives at the Stanton estate. She eats at Sal’s
Sandwiches. She IS a woman.”
    “ No shit, I noticed that at the
office.” This brought a smile to Colin’s face and redness to mine.
“How and when did she find out your were tailing her?”
    “ I don’t know. Her and her friend over
there were looking straight at me when I sat down at the
bar.”
    “ Shit”
    “ What?”
    “ Can you see what he’s doing over
there?” Colin’s smiled broadened. He knew we were busted but hey,
we busted them first. “Sign language. She didn’t list that on her
app. Let’s go. Please tell Ms. Stanton thank you for her time and
that I will be in touch with her tomorrow.”
    Colin motioned Sara over and bought us each
another shot. My last shot was still sitting in front of me and I
wasn’t sure I could handle that one not to mention the one on the
way. I was about to put my head down when Sara showed up with our
drinks. Great.
    Colin chugged his down and I did the same
with one of them. I asked Sara to wait and drank the other one. For
a few seconds I was afraid that I might have to make a run for the
bathroom but my stomach settled down again. I was thoroughly
drunk.
    Colin asked me if I would like to dance and I
told him to find someone else, I was going home.
    “ That’s too bad. You were starting to
turn me on out there before.” he said with an impish grin.
