Ch.16: Sharing is Caring

"On three or like one two three then take it off?"

"On three, then we'll cut these cuffs off and find a coffee place. I need to sober up a bit."

"Alright," She smiled gripping one side of the mask, "One."

"Two."

"Three!" They both called out while pulling off their masks.

Their faces went from excitement to utter shock.

Susan stared at Professor Dangerous.

Professor Dangerous stared at Susan.

"There is no way in hell..." She breathed.

"Susan..."

She looked down at her drink making sure nothing was in it besides ice and the cocktail, "Did someone drug me or something?"

"Why are you here?!" He asked in a loud whisper.

"Why am I here?! Why are YOU here?! One of my RA's is hosting this project."

He looked away, "DJ talked me into it."

She leaned back on her seat, "This is too much to process."

"Ah I see you two unmasked." Nelson approached.

"Un-cuff us, now!"

"Woah, everything alright?" He began searching for the key.

"No! It's not! I'm being thrown threw a massive loop, I'm going to be sick." She glanced at D to see him staring down at the table silently. "The key Nelson?"

"I uh — okay, it was in this pocket."

"You LOST the key?!"

"Susan, don't raise your voice at him. It's alright." Dangerous spoke up.

He looked around the room for extra help but saw two familiar faces he didn't want to see, "Oh no..."

"What's oh no?" She rubbed her temple with her free hand.

"I thought this was a closed event?" Dangerous signaled to the bar.

"Only rented out part of the distillery." Nelson explained. "Okay, I need to retrace my steps. I'll be right back we'll get you two separated."

Susan looked up at the bar to see History and Invincible taking a seat at the bar and ordering drinks. They would have a clear view of both of them if they so chose to look.

"Are you kidding me?"

"We can't let them see this..." She stood up. "Come on."

"Come on?! Where? We can't leave like this!" He wiggled the hand cuffs.

"Do you think I want to go in school Monday morning and explain to DJ why I was caught at a blind date hand cuffed to his brother, or better yet do YOU want to explain it?"

He stared at her for several moments then looked at his brothers who were casually talking to one another.

"Do you have a way to get these off of us?"

"Yes, Carol has bolt cutters at the apartment in the dormitory. It's dark, she picks us up, takes us there, cuts us free and we bring you back to your car without anyone seeing."

"She can't bring them?"

"I have the keys to the janitors closet in the building, we have to go there." She breathed trying to calm her anxiety.

"Okay, okay, we'll do that. Let's take the back door out." He stood up and pushed in his chair while looking at his brothers just to be sure they weren't looking. "I'll hide you on the way out, just in case."
