I sighed in exasperation.“Tony, you were married to the groom’s mother, you’ve just fucked the bride’s mother and God knows how many of the ot...er female guests you’ve had. There’s no way you could possibly have gone to the ceremony.”He snorted.“You’ve even fucked the bride herself,” I added bitterly.It was still a sore point between us. At least he had the decency to look shamefaced.“Well if you put it like that…” he began.“How else can I put it,” I asked, stroking the soft downy hair on his. “we may think of your proposal Priya” said Riya and all were laughing again.“Ya sure, okay guy’s its getting late. We need to complete our assignment. let’s go now.” Priya said to others.We were relieved that they were leaving us. Before leaving Riya turned and said “next time we meet you must have learned to kiss each other”. We just nodded our head.The following week they didn’t trouble us, but we heard similar ragging stories from our batch mates.It was the weekend and most of the hostel was. They want to buy you out. Everything. Your three-eighths share of the big club, the minor league team, and this entire complex."It seems that winning the World Series drastically improved their fortunes, and buying back the portion they sold you is their top priority."What do you think?" She was baiting me. I could tell. I could also tell that she hadn't told me everything, yet."Ok. What's the rest?"She smiled her sneaky smile and said, "You spent three-hundred and forty million dollars, or. People are on the other side of that pileup and are figuring out how to get us out of here even now. And soon, because I vowed just this morning that you would all be safe, and no fucking Nazi is going to make me break it. Therefore, if you all listen to me, we can all get out of here. And since I don’t need a Corporal Hicks freaking everyone out or a ‘who’s in charge’ debate, you WILL all stay calm and do what I say.”The command got through to everyone except Mander, whom she didn’t have to.
