Chapter 1
“Where the hell’s Gary?” Richard asked a few of his friends in one of the cramped corners of the rec room.
It wasn’t like Gary to leave a party that had so many attractive women present, Richard thought to himself. Maybe
Gary was in one of the bedrooms getting with one of them right now.
Richard didn’t know. He figured he would look for his friend, who was hard to miss. Gary was a big, black gentleman
that stood out in a crowd, often the life of the party. That he would leave a party unannounced was unlike him.
Richard often entertained many of his friends on weekends, and this one was no different. The 34-year-old white
male was making a very good living for he and his wife, Natalie, a 27-year-old brunette with outstanding physical
features and soft, brown hair.
It was a good party Richard was throwing on this evening, so good that many of the attendants were getting awfully
drunk.
Richard was wandering down one of the hallways of his spacious home in search of his friend when he heard
laughter coming from outside the bathroom.
He didn’t think much of it. He got closer to the bathroom and saw it was his wife, Natalie, and her best friend, Nicole.
They were looking in at the bathroom, laughing hysterically. Natalie was nearly falling over.
Now Richard was a bit curious as to what was going on.
As he got closer, Natalie saw him and urged him forward.
“Richard, honey, you have to see this,” she said.
She pulled her husband by the arm to the door of the bathroom, and Richard peeked in to see Gary, passed out,
sitting on the toilet. His pants were around his ankles, his head leaning off to one side.
Richard was a bit amused, but didn’t think it was as funny as the two women made it out to be.
“Okay, so Gary had a few beers and passed out in the bathroom. What’s so funny about that?” he asked.
Natalie grabbed him by the arm again, and this time led him into the bathroom.
“Honey, look,” she said, bringing him up to the feet of the unconscious black man.
Richard looked down, and gasped at what he saw.
