"No way. Your friends are assholes." Kimmy was adamant.
"Yes, they are," agreed Jax. "But they are
my
asshole friends. I'm just doing them a favor."
Kimmy kept folding her laundry, ignoring her brother's request.
"It's just for the night. Can't you stay at a friend's?" pleaded Jax. "I kinda already told them it wouldn't be a problem. Besides, this house is half mine."
Kimmy and Jax, about a year ago, bought a house together. Nothing special; a small two bedroom, but it did have a built-in pool and a fenced backyard. They have always been close growing up as twins, so living together - at least for the early part of their post-college years - wasn't a concern. Just a few years removed from the local university, it was a good real estate investment for the 25-year-olds maturing into taxpaying adults.
Jax continued. "Listen, they only want to use the house for the evening. I doubt they'll be here that long. Not even overnight."
"Do it on a night when you're around," argued Kimmy. "Why do I have to put up with this shit?"
"They can only do it that night. And I have to be in LA. Come on, sis, you just have to disappear for a few hours," pleaded Jax.
Kimmy stopped folding and threw her hands in the air. "Why would I ever want to help them? I'm still pissed. I'll never fucking forgive them."
Jax sighed. "I know, I know. I shouldn't have helped them."
Five years ago, Jax's friends, all part of the same fraternity, were able to cleverly and clandestinely setup some cams in his sister's sorority. Over the period of a weekend, they obtained prime footage of Kimmy and her friends in various states of undress, which they live streamed. Understandably, the women of the sorority were upset, as topless and bottomless pictures filled the internet. While Jax didn't directly participate in the scheme, he did explain to his friends the technology behind it and how to setup a live stream.
"Just do it as a favor to me, not them. I didn't take part in it. I really didn't need to see your tits, sis," argued Jax.
"You didn't, but the rest of the campus did," remembered Kimmy, angrily. "So why do they need our house? What are they gonna do here? Get hammered and invite over some whores?"
"Well, to be honest," admitted Jax, "just one."
"Seriously?" replied a bewildered Kimmy.
"Here's the deal," explained Jax. "They went down to the strip club last weekend and met some dancer, who I guess does 'other work' on the side. You know, as an escort. So they negotiated a deal that she would come over and take care of all three of them. Kind of a quantity discount package."
Kimmy just stared at Jax. "Oh, hell no."
"Kimmy, I'm not part of it. I'm not even gonna be here, " pleaded Jax. "They asked if they could use our house. I don't see why not. I mean, as long as you are not here.
"And their apartments are too small to have...you know. And I told them they could use the pool."
Kimmy fretted in thought. She loved her brother, but still held a deep undying, grudge against his friends. Suddenly, her head snapped to attention as an illumination shone forth in her brain, and a smug and sinister smile traversed her face.
"Here's the deal," began Kimmy, carefully selecting her words. "They can use the house. Under these conditions. Get me the name of the whore they have coming over."
"Escort; ah, stripper," Jax corrected her. "Why do you want that?"
Ignoring his question, Kimmy continued. "I want her name, how much they are paying for her, and you do
not
tell the guys I asked for this."
"What for?" pressed Jax.
"That's my business. You get me that and they can use the house, the pool, whatever; for the whole night."
"Am I setting these guys up? They'll kill me," responded Jax.
"It's payback. They will never know. Only you and I will ever know."
"What do I get out of this?" questioned Jax, doubtfully.
"For starters, you won't be affected." Kimmy sighed. "And I can try and get you a date with Lisa."
Jax has had eyes on Lisa ever since college, but could never seem to make the connection. "How will you do that?" Jax hopefully asked.
"She owes me," answered Kimmy. "Plus - and do not quote me on this - she told me she thought you were cute."
"Deal!" exclaimed Jax.
After their sibling agreement, Kimmy immediately called her two closest friends, Jordan and the aforementioned Lisa, and told them she had a retaliation plan, and wanted to enlist their help. Jordan and Lisa, also filmed in the illicit cam scandal, were more than happy to make this overdue revenge a reality.
Without a problem, Jax was able to to get the name of the stripper and her fee. His friends - JT, Jason, and Matty - were all pretty excited about their sordid arrangement, and were not shy about boasting and sharing the details with Jax.
