Lethal Adults

Chapter 20

When Blue, King, and Gamble made it to HQ Park greeted them at the entrance before escorting them to the clothing level of the building. On the way up he gave them their fake ids and a little background on each of the people they were pretending to be. When it was time to get dressed they were all dressed in different assortments of colors. Blue was given a rose gold pantsuit, with large hoop earrings, and her dreads were pulled back into a fairy hairdo. King was dressed in a black pinstripe suit and his long unruly hair was gelled down for that formal effect. Finally, Gamble was given a grey suit and a fresh haircut to touch up the detailing in his hair. They were all set and three different cars were waiting for them with their personal chauffeur.

"I got dibs on the white Rolls Royce," Blue squealed as she ran to the car. What was left was Bentley in black and a Cadillac in silver.

"I got the Bentley then," King stated as he walked over to the car. Gamble rolled his eye at the two before going over to Cadillac.

"See you two there," Gamble yelled as he shut the door and the driver drove off. Everything was calculated precisely. Gamble was to arrive at 6:30, King at 6:45 and Blue at 7:00. They all took different routes and were each given their own little container of the poison just in case. When they all arrived, they were in separate places of the massive venue. Blue was by the bar, King by the dessert table, and Gamble was by the entrance. At that moment Gary made his grand appearance and was ready to give his speech and that's when the chatter died to silence and people found their seats.

"First off I would just like to say I appreciate all you for coming out and showing your appreciation and gratitude for this charity. This charity is one of many that I am apart of but I love it dearly. I titled the charity All Medical Research because all the research that the men and women do is one step closer to fighting off of disease. One step closer to making a disease cease to exist, one more step closer to making the sick healthy again. Everything is one step closer to making the world better for the greater good." He spoke earning claps.

"He is selling this, makes me think its all real," Gamble stated in his earpiece as he clapped.

"He is good at what he is proclaiming to do," King replied.

"Doing a very good job actually," Blue replied.

"So with that being said please open your wallets and checkbooks, spend that money for the greater good, and have an amazing time." Gary finished. After the applause, he made his way to the floor where all the guests were located and started mingling with them. At that moment the Carter adults made their way to the drink area simultaneously.'

"Ok so I am going to slip the drink," King talked.

"Why do you get to do it?" Gamble began.

"Because I called it first,"

"No we should flip a coin, King, what if I wanted to do it," Gamble argued.

"Sucks to suck I called it," King replied.

"Blue do you hear this crap? Blue, Blue? Where did she go?" While the boys were arguing Blue discreetly slipped the poison in the drink and started walking over to Gary. She pulled her shoulders back and got herself ready mentally.

"Mr. Helfender that was a lovely speech," Blue acknowledged.

"Oh why thank you, it all came from the heart," He smiled.

"I'm sure it did well-spoken and well written. It made me make a very generous donation."

"I appreciate it, however, I don't believe I caught your name."

"Jessica, Jessica Algright," Blue answered as she let her hand out for him to shake.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Might I ask who the second champagne flute is for?"
