"Now isn't the time for jokes. They checked her out in the ambulance, but what they could do for her in the hospital, I can do at home."
Alex coughs. "You're taking her home? To your home?"
I never bring women to my place. Ever. But this is an exception. This is a woman—a coworker and maybe something more who needs help.
"Yeah. Someone's gotta watch her, and her roommate was way too drunk for that—though, while I was walking away, she did threaten my life if I do anything, and I quote, 'untoward to Audra while she's out of it.'. Like I'd do that," I scoff.
"It's obvious after what happened to Audra that not every guy out there are gentlemanly like we are," Mark says.
"Sometimes we aren't very gentlemanly, but drugging. That pisses me off," Alex adds. "We'll go with you, just in case something happens."
I have no idea how to take care of someone who's been drugged, but I'm going to do my best to make sure Audra's comfortable.
