Out of This World Part 7
Welcome to the island
“Good news Lauren,” Ezra burst in on Lauren’s game of solitaire.
Oh what fresh hell is this? Lauren raised her eyes to Ezra’s unusually beaming face. Subtle smirk and hollow eyes — evil only had one look. She was dressed in a form fitting black V-neck dress which exposed an eyeful of chest.
“What?” Lauren asked skeptically. Ezra’s idea of good news was much different than her own.
“We are going to a party. One of our closest friends has invited us on his boat,” she giddily plopped down beside Lauren who involuntarily shuddered at the nearness of her least favorite housemate.
“Let me stop you there,” Lauren snarled. “You think I don’t remember the last time I went out with you?” How could she have forgotten the nightclub incident? Ezra had hired teenage punks to drug her.
“Easy girl, we’re all invited. You, me, Zorin and Zeus. No tricks. Oh, and I suppose that other slimeball of a human can come with us.”
“You mean Mark?” Lauren corrected.
“Whatever. Anyways this is no ordinary boat party,” she draped an arm over Lauren, letting her long fingers curl around her shoulder. “It is a murder mystery party. It’s going to be a wild whodunnit game. First guest to solve the murder of Mr. Body wins.”
