Kristin and Katie: Our Girlfriends? – Page 5

“Those two are the men we followed to South America!” They soon left, and with two girls of their own.

“I recognize those two.” Noah said. “They’re girls from the Amazon camp!!”

“Right! Now I remember them. I wasn’t used to seeing them dressed like that!” Kristin stated.

“I think I’ll go have a chat with our friendly neighborhood bartender.” I said, getting up. “Excuse me, ladies.” I walked over to the bartender, and leaned over onto the bar.

“What’ll it be?” He asked, cleaning out a glass.

“What do you know about those two who just left?”

“Who? The dames, or the fellas?”

“Either.”

“Well, the dames are from out of town. They speak very broken English. The guys come here more often, about once a night. Rumor has it that they’re trying to get hot merchandise off their hands.”

“Thanks.” I said, leaving the bar. I started back, “Just one more thing.”

“Yes?”

“Can anyone get involved in the bid?”

“Not saying I know anything about which you are talking…”

“Of course…”

“Do you have money?”

“I could have, if the price was right.”

“Well, I’ll tell them that you’re interested.”

“All right.” I stated.

“They won’t be back for another two weeks.”

“What if they find another buyer?”

“Oh, don’t worry. There’s going to be an auction. Right now they’re just looking for perspective buyers.”

“Oh. Thanks.” I said, going back to my table and sitting down.

“How’d it go?” Kristin asked.

“I’ve got an appointment with the two guys in two weeks.” I replied.

“Why not earlier?” Noah asked.

“Because it’s the next time that those two are in town.”

“Won’t they sell the DG by then?” Katie asked.

“No. The bartender says that they’re going to auction it off. First they have to get some buyers together, though.”

“Oh.” Katie replied.

“Do we get to come the next time?” Kristin asked.

“If you keep your grades up.” I said, looking right in Kristin’s eyes.

“Oh, we will.” She stated. We all got up and walked out to the car. Once inside the car, we drove back to Noah’s house, and all went down to his basement. There, we changed out of our outfits, making sure to leave them hidden. Kristin, Katie, and I then got into the car, and headed for my house.

Once home, Katie immediately went to Kristin’s room to get ready for bed. Karin came in and told me, “Adam, Tricia called while you were gone. Said that she was fine and that she’d be back in a few days.”

“Oh. I wonder where she could be.”

“I don’t have the foggiest idea.”
