Just forget the world

"I know you said no to strippers but what about mud wrestling?"

"Bro what's with the girly punches?" Percy asked as he held the punching bag for me?" I placed a well placed kick that caught the side of his head. "Fuck!!!" He stumbled back a few paces.

"I am tattoo artist seaweed brain." I said. "Kinda need my hands."

He rolled his eyes at me and grabbed the bag again. Jason strolled over with Leo.

"Look who finally resurficed. I thought you ran off with some girl?" Percy said jokingly. Leo got a sad look and ruffled his hair. Percy instantly back pedled. "Hey Leo. I am sorry dude....."

"Nah Percy all good. Just don't wanna talk about it." Awkward silence came over the group.

Jason came to the rescue. "So is everyone pumped for the best bachelor party ever." Percy grinned stupidly.

"Hell yeah!!" He and Jason bumped chests. I rolled my eyes at this. "So you three, Grover, Frank, Will?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah he promised. He had to beg to get the weekend off." I replied. He could do with some fun. I still barely see him, but he is trying and the guy can only be soo many places.

"Awesome!!" A nervous expression crossed Percy's face. "You guys haven't done anything crazy right?"

I adopted an innocent, confused look. "Crazy? What do you mean?" Leo and Jason also pretended to be confused.

Percy looked so uncomfortable. "No strippers? No crazy stunts?"

"Ohhh" I looked thoughtful for a moment. "Hypothetically would dressing you in drag and entering you in a Britney spears look a like contest be a stunt?" I asked. Percy's eyes went wide.

Leo and Jason nodded as if it was a good question. "I Know you said no to strippers but what about mud wrestling?" Leo asked.

Percy looked like he was about to object when Jason jumped in. "I Know you hate to fly but base jumping is okay right. I mean it is not like you are flying......more like falling." He said.

Percy looked at us all one at a time suspiciously. Truth be told we had hired a houseboat and had planned to spend the whole weekend fishing and drinking beer, but he is so fun to tease.

"We are kidding Percy!" Jason said. "Nico promised that the tattoo would be super classy."

"Oh yeah, I think Jason's face will look great on your ass." I smiled.

Percy groaned. "I hate you all!!" He turned and marched off to the locker room with as much dignity as he could muster. Which really wasn't much.

"So be at the marina at 8:00 okay. Frank and I will bring Percy." Jason said with an evil grin. "You got drinks and food?"

I nodded. "All packed and ready." Jason nodded and jumped into his truck.

I rode home on my bike. Leo will be over with the van later to help transfer the food.

As I stepped off my bike I felt the hairs on my neck stand up. After living on the streets as a teenager, I learned to sense when someone was watching me. I turned around and looked up and down the street. I noticed a car a few houses down. It was silver BMW with heavy tinted windows. It was a nice car, but that wasn't what caught my attention. It had no plates.

Now that I was thinking about it. I had seen a car just like that at the coffee place where Will and I went the other day and the sushi place we went too last night. The car was also parked outside of a house that was vacant and up for sale.

I started forward towards the car. The driver turned it on and began speeding up the street towards me. I barely was able to jump out of the way. The car sqreeched off down the street.

I got up. Heart pounding. What the fuck is going on?
