I should go with Ming Zhao

"I'm sorry man, but I need something to cover up with if I'm going to get out of here in one piece. I'm gonna go with Ming Zhao."

Santiago nodded with understanding. "Going with your girl bro, I've been there. I'd probably do the same thing if it were Scarlet. Good Luck." With gentle fist bump on my arm he sent me on my way.

Ming Zhao took my hand and I padded with her into the room filled with my naked photographs. We made it to the coat check desk alright but then a thought occurred to me far too late: how was I going to prove that the coat was mine? Usually when you turn your coat in to the desk they give you a chip with a number on it to identify which coat is yours. Right now I was just a guy in his underwear asking for a coat in some posh gallery. Maybe I should have stayed put like Santiago said I should have.

"That's a nice tie," the coat check girl looked me up and down "I take it you want your coat to go with it?"

I blushed at her remark at my near-nudity. Fortunately Ming Zhao directed the conversation. "Actually the coat that I dropped off here, could I have it back?"

The girl at the desk seemed confused. "Your friend already claimed that jacket shortly after you left it with me, she said she was going to hold it for it's owner instead."

"Wait, what?" Panic began to take root in me.

"Your lady friend here wandered off before I got a chance to give her an ID chip for the coat. Fortunately, some woman claiming to be a friend of yours swooped in and told me she was going to bring the chip to you."

I exchanged a look with Ming Zhao. I could tell by the look on her face that she did not receive that chip. "She came back shortly after leaving saying that the owner changed his mind and wanted his coat back. She still had the chip so I gave it to her and she left in a hurry to the next room."

Was someone trying to steal my coat!? "Where did she go?" The panic was now thriving within me.

"She just left through that door." The coat check girl pointed to the door just right of her station. With only the thought of retrieving my coat I ran towards it like a madman.

"Hold on!" Ming Zhao shouted. "Don't go through there Ahab! That's..."

Whatever she was going to say, it was too late. I blasted through the door shouting 'give back my coat!' at the top of my lungs. Boy, that was a huge mistake. In my panic I did not notice I ran into a room packed with people. dozens of female eyes turned on me the moment I burst into the room. My shouting only made things worse.

I was so shocked that I paused for a moment to take in my surroundings. I realized I was in the room the entire crowd moved to after Ruby's speech. There was a stage at the end of the room that displayed another blown up picture of me from Ruby's studio; all oiled up, naked, my arms pinned behind the back of my neck, my penis at attention while Ming Zhao's hands explored my body. Oh… I remember that one… as well as I remember the rest of the picture that decorated this entire hall. Those humiliating poses Ruby made me do at her studio in front of her crew.

I was now standing frozen next to one of the many blown up pictures of me sporting my junk. While my faced flamed up, all the women in the room finally saw the connection.

"Oh my God! It's the model from all the photographs!"

"He's actually here? Wow, he looks more studly in person."

"I wonder if the pictures match up with what he is carrying under those skivvies!"

"If I bought one of theses picture do you think I could get him to autograph it?"

"I got something else he could sign."

Every woman in the room eyed me hungrily getting closer and closer to me in just my tie and briefs. They began to lick their lips at the sight of my embarrassment and I could tell they craved more. They were determined to see the real live model completely naked now. Naturally, someone broke from the crowd to make things even worse.
