Once Billy had left Stu's bedroom through the bathroom window, he entered the house through the front door and made an appearance, he pretended to search for Stu. Once he was done with his charade he ascended the stairs once more and arrived at Stu's bedroom again where he saw the extra figure in the room; Randy Meeks. Billy was perplexed at first but he just decided to roll with the punches. She had informed him that Stu had passed out due to his intoxication and that they were simply trying to transfer him to the bathroom, he did not believe a word that came out of her mouth but he was impressed at how fast she lied and how effective she was. He pretended to believe her simple explanation and helped the duo roll his best friend into the bathroom and close the door. Once they were done, she grabbed him and pulled him towards the staircase where they ascended and returned to the party, hand in hand.

Billy was not convinced by her explanation, not one bit, he was too smart and too calculating to believe her but it did not matter, she was just buying time for Randy. Once they took care of Stu, she fled the room with Billy and left Randy behind, she did not want to explain what was going on, he must have heard enough through that door to reach his own conclusion. For now, she needed to worry about making an actual riotous appearance to convince the crowd that she had been there the whole time. They needed to take care of their alibis before they could dispose of the body in the garage.

She could hear Randy stomping on the ground behind her, she glanced back and gave him a warning look to stay back, he had screwed up enough already.

"Billy", she smiled. "I know we need to take care of some things", she spoke into his ear. "But that doesn't mean that we can't unwind for a little while, it is a party after all". She placed a hand on his chest and drew circles with her index finger.

He leaned in and placed an incredibly inebriating kiss on her soft crimson lips. She threw her hands around his neck and tugged him closer. As he became more intoxicated by her presence, she pulled back and a frown appeared on his face as he groaned.

"I guess I get what I want at the end of the day", she smirked and walked away.

She circled back into the kitchen, she gathered a new red cup and began to pour beer into, she glanced up at the garage door as she did so, making sure that nobody was in proximity. The door was securely closed.

She placed the cup close to her lips and took a micro sip, she wasn't looking to get inebriated tonight, she had to be fully aware of her surroundings if they were going to pull this off successfully. The problem was though, Stu was incapacitated and once he wakes up, he will go after Randy. Randy presented another more potent issue, he knew that something dubious was taking place and that she was somehow involved, it was only a matter of time before he became another threat. She did not know how to operate with Randy, he either had to cooperate, keep his mouth shut or... The or was nothing good.

Stu's blunder did not have to be Billy's undoing, everybody makes mistakes, perhaps Billy was too lax with Stu. Billy was intelligent, calculating, a force to be reckoned with but right now he was exceptionally frustrated, annoyed and she hated to admit it but he might become unhinged soon enough if the plan went awry. She had to keep him in check, neither Stu nor Randy will be Billy's downfall, she swore to herself, she'd end those two before they threatened the object of her undying affection.

"Hand me the chef's name", she outstretched her hand, waiting for Dylan to place the weapon in her hand. He picked it up as the crowd gasped for the billionth time. He placed it in her hand.
