The 👁 Eye Of The 🐅Tiger - Book 3

Everything Is Dust In The Wind.

~ SOME TIME LATER ~ AT A BEACH BAR ~

Stefan, Jason, and Johnny are sitting at a table, enjoying their drink. They look out at the sun slowly sinking into the sea, while the girls, Artemis, Cecilia, and Lucida walk barefoot along the beach, talking. The boys raise their glasses ...

Stefan: Here's to you, Johnny.

Jason: Welcome to the pack, man.

Johnny: To my Lucida, who became the reason why.

Stefan/Jason: To Lucida then!

They clink and empty their glasses. Stefan nods to the waiter for another round.

Jason: Easy there, buddy! I have to teach in the morning.

Stefan: It's okay. You're going to teach your students about the effects of alcohol on the blood.

Johnny: That's right! That's part of your area of expertise, isn't it?

Jason: Yeah, it is but I have to be sober to do it.

Stefan: Stop bitching, spinster! You have my sister. She'll help you deal with the hangover.

Jason: Really? And how exactly is she going to do that if we're all staying together tonight? The house only has one room, if you remember.

Stefan: We'll figure something out.

Johnny: May I suggest something?

Jason: Just don't say we should all do it together.

Johnny: That's not exactly what I had in mind, but since you mention it ... Haven't you two ever done this before? Don't say no because I'm not going to believe it.

Stefan: Who do you think we are? Of course, we have. And not just once.

Jason: But that time the girl I fucked wasn't his sister.

Johnny: Right! I missed that!

Then Stefan chortles.

Stefan: That's so fucking unbelievable!

Jason: What?

Stefan: You two are my best friends and also the ones fucking my sisters and I, instead of hitting you or something, I'm sitting here drinking with you and talking about the possibility of having sex together. I'm the shame of the strict brothers!

They burst out laughing and continue to do so as the waiter brings their second drinks. They clink and drink again, but the nice atmosphere is interrupted by the ringing of Stefan's cell phone.

Jason: Who's it at this hour?

Stefan: I've no idea.

Stefan pulls his cell phone out of his pocket, but as he looks at the screen, his face takes on a look of astonishment.

Stefan: What the hell?

Johnny: Who's it?

Stefan: Kyle. Weird.

Jason: What are you waiting for? Pick up to see what he wants.

Stefan presses the button and puts the call on speaker.
