The next morning

I sat down on a patio chair and tried to ignore the breasts pressed against glass in the window above us. Max seemed tired but unfazed at this point, I wondered how much he had to put up with. “So what’s our next move here? We need to get that book.”

Max frowned and leaned back in his own chair, “I think we are going about this wrong.”

“What?”

“The book needs basically DNA to do anything to us. We have been caught off guard leaving that all over the place.” Max sighed, “It’s next to impossible to not leave something for the person with the book, but we should at least go anywhere obvious and cover our asses.”

I mean I shouldn’t have anything in the trash like Megan did. Only place I’d have any of that was…fuck my car! “I had to abandon my car. No doubt something is in there to fuck me over.”

Max sighed, “And I still have some of my gym stuff at the school gym. We should probably hurry and cover our tracks. Treat everything from here on like a crime scene.”

I looked up at the hot and horny brunette teasing us in the window, “Someone should keep guard at my place. Last thing I want is this asshole trying to get to my girl next. They know I’m involved now, Laura and I could be next.”

Max took a sip of beer and nodded, “Alright you know your car better than I would. My stuff is just a small locker. I will text you the code and the locker. I will keep an eye on Laura til you get back.”

I watched the tits away back and forth and felt a bit of jealousy towards Max for such a hot situation at home, “What about her?”

Max shrugged, “She’s already changed and I think she will be fine alone for a bit.” He paused, “Should we check on Megan?”

I shrugged, “Maybe. She did say the shit she made would slow the process. I don’t know how slow she means. All I know is she’s hot as hell and incredibly hard to resist. Has like this natural pull to her that pulls you in.”

Max shook his head and tried to hide a grin, “She was already cute before.”

“Yeah well it’s hard to be around her now. Super distracting.” I stood up, “Alright so hit my car up and clean it out. Then the gym. Then I might peek in on Megan. You stick with Laura for me and try to come up with a plan.”

“I always do.” Max joked. Laura didn’t mind having company after hearing about some lunatic harassing people in the area. Having it be a friend helped. I left them and used Max’s car to head to the gas station.

There it was. Broken down and cut off from the outside world with police tape. Nobody on duty was around so I quickly snuck inside. My eyes widened, I needed to clean my car more. Hair from me and Laura were all mixed on the seats. I looked around and sighed in relief. That was the only thing that could get us.

I reached under the seat and held my breath. I was about to do something so fucking stupid! But the idea of Laura being lost to me forever was too much. I turned on my mini vacuum and began cleaning the passenger side. I had finished hers and did most of mine when I heard a car approaching and swore. The cops were coming back!

Tossing the vacuum back underneath I snuck out the opposite side and sprinted to a casual distance they wouldn’t be suspicious of. I watched as the cops walked up the the car. It wasn’t perfect but at least Laura should be safe. I got in Max’s car and headed to the gym.

It wasn’t long before I was counting lockers, halfway there when a pit formed in my stomach. I had an idea exactly what locker it was. There was a note on one with a cut lock. Someone had reported it to be “dangerous” so the owner had the lock cut to check.

“So…how goes it?” A text from Max reads.

I begin to type, “Uhh…for fun just name everything that you keep in this locker.”

“I guess two gym shirts, one I used yesterday. A pair of shorts, my shoes. A towel and some deodorant. Why are you asking?”

“Asshole found a way to get the lock cut. Your towel is missing.”

“Oh fuck…I should leave.”

I rubbed my hand through my hair and began pacing. This was bad! “No it’s fine. I will look into it see if there are any clues. Maybe someone has security footage or something. I will be back soon anyway. Just hope to God no bullshit goes down.”

“I don’t want to turn like Lexi dude!”

The idea of my friend turning into a horny girl made me uncomfortable and I rushed with the lock to a staff member at the desk who looked about to pass out. “Hey, my locker got cut while I was gone…”

The staff member looked at the lock before typing into the computer. The buff guy shrugged, “Yeah some prank call saying you had a gun or something. Guess the boss wanted to make sure.”

“Well I had something stolen because of that.” I lied, “Do you have cameras in there?”

The man looked back and me and sighed. Clearly he was hoping for a work free day, “I mean yeah I guess. What was stolen?”

I hesitated, “My grandfather’s watch. Just passed from heart problems so I keep it there to remind me to live healthier. To push myself. It means a lot to me.”

The guy looked at me with sympathetic eyes, “Shit bro…that’s rough. Look we can take a look but only because you seem like a chill dude. The sign on the door says to never put anything of value in those lockers overnight. We aren’t responsible for stolen items. But I guess it was shit luck. Here let’s pull it up.”

I watched the feed as a male silhouette snuck to the cut locker and began searching the locker. His frame was thin about average height. But most other details were impossible at this angle. I watched him take the towel after searching around.

“Weird for him to grab your towel too.” The guy shook his head, “Fucking addicts dude. They are a weird bunch.”

“Thanks.” I call before storming out of the gym. I kept my eye on the speed limit, keeping just over the entire time.

“Whoever it is. It’s a guy. Thin and pretty average. That at least narrows it down.” I texted, keeping my eye out for cops. “I’m on my way back.”

No response. I felt my nerves and thought of a new text. I’m sure they were just talking and didn’t notice the message. “They took your towel. We might need to get you to Megan when I get back so you don’t change. I can’t have my buddy being a hot girl. Laura would get jealous.”

Still no response. I picked up speed. Getting halfway I fumbled quickly for the phone hearing a buzz. I felt relief seeing such a simple message. At least my worst fears weren’t true.

“No rush.”
