With only two days to go before Industry Night, Gary and Mark had very little to do. Having been banned from their own clubs, there was nothing for them to do but relax. The place sure looked different with everyone gone.
"Hey Mark, I guess if we want breakfast, we had better go in there and make it ourselves."
"I think I can still remember how to make bacon and eggs," Mark grinned.
"Okay, I've got the pancakes, orange juice, and coffee."
"Oh shit, I'm glad I walked down here. I know you two won't clean up," Tammy smiled. "I didn't know that you were here. I thought you would be at the center."
"We've been banned. Something is going on and no one wants us to know what it is," Gary told her.
"I figured I'd find you were," Holly said.
"Tammy, have you eaten yet?" Mark asked her.
"Yes, I'm good to go hon," she said as she leaned in and kissed him.
"Bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes work for you Holly?" Gary asked.
"Over easy dear and only two pancakes please," she laughed. "This girl has to watch her figure."
"Why? We've been banned from our own damned clubs. I can think of lots of ways a girl could burn off a few calories," Mark smiled.
"In that case, yes we'll all have pancakes," Bobbi smiled as she walked in the kitchen. Tia and JoJo followed her into the kitchen.
"Does this mean we have you all to ourselves for the entire day?" JoJo asked in her lovely Australian accent.
"Only after I fly out of here," Ainsley said as she came in looking for coffee. "This place is a lot larger when everyone is gone. I'm sorry I have to leave but I have things to do before I come back tomorrow."
Gina and Brianna walked in also in pursuit of coffee. Holly laughed and started helping Mark and Gary.
"I don't know what is funnier. You and I thinking we could make breakfast for ourselves or everyone thinking the place was empty," Gary smiled.
"Breakfast for eleven coming right up," Holly laughed.
It was another beautiful Florida morning, perfect for breakfast on the patio. They did have to admit that the place definitely looked abandoned. After breakfast, Ainsley, Gina, and Brianna said they were heading to the airport.
"We'll fly you over there," Gary said. He looked at Tammy and told her to lock up. "We might as well enjoy this weather. Grab the girls. Tell them we are going flying."
"Are you serious? We are going to get to ride in the helicopter. Wow, you had better not leave before we can get ready. We'll be right back!" Tammy screamed.
Ainsley kissed everyone goodbye and walked onto the Gulfstream for the trip back to Dallas. The jet taxied away as Gary lifted off. "I wonder what Tampa Bay looks like this morning," Gary said. "It's a perfect morning, let's go check it out."
They flew over to Tampa Bay and then they flew back to the East Coast. They flew down and checked out Jupiter Island. They saw Tiger's new home and they approved.
"I hope he can stay out of trouble over here," Gary said.
"We told him not to get married in the first place. I do wish him well. He's a great guy," Mark said.
On the way home, they flew over the center. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Gary asked Mark.
"That is a hell of a lot of trucks in our rear parking lots. The bands we are featuring can't possibly afford trucks like that. I'm going back in for a better look," Mark said.
"Oh, well that answers one question," Gary, said. "That end truck says Luke Bryan. I know he was in Jacksonville last night. I wonder what all those other trucks are. They are parked too tight to read what is on the sides."
"Still bro, that is a hell of a lot of equipment. Am I the only one who thinks there is a lot more happening than we've been led to believe?" Mark said.
"No, but what the hell, I like surprises," Gary said. "I'm sure we'll find out when our girls get here tonight."
"I know one thing," Holly said, "Beyoncé and Loretta have been on the phone a lot the last week. If we are going to be surprised, I can only conclude they are behind this. If we are right, they sure as hell are not going to tell us at all."
"From what Cherry told me when she left this morning, we may not see any of them until tomorrow sometime," Mark grinned. "What shall we do until then?"
Tia leaned over and nibbled on Mark's ear, "I can think of lots of things to do until then."
Gary set the chopper down on the heliport and everyone moved to the bar. Holly poured drinks and everyone began to relax.
Gary put his arm around his lovely little girl, "Tammy, when Loretta is gone, please move Mark and Cherry into Jeremy's suite. It's larger than what he has now and just as nice as mine is. I think they need the larger closet space anyway."
"Whatever gave you that impression?" Mark laughed. "Between you and Shannon, I could barely find my jeans this morning. I hope to God it has enough space for shoes and boots."
"Don't feel bad, only a third of her items were shipped here," Gary bellowed.
"No shit, I walked into her closet in Las Vegas and thought I had walked into a store. Fuck me, I couldn't believe it."
