Licking his lips, a wicked idea began to form in his head.
Closing out of the security app, Gavin opened thesocial media app he, Ace, and Lucas had been using to chat.
“Perfect,” Gavin said when he noticed Ace’s profile was set to green. He decided to message his buddy.
Gavin: Hey buddy, you up?
Ace: Ya. Why? Everything ok?
Gavin: You watching me on the security feeds?
Ace: Yup! Nice Hello Kitty PJs.
Lucas: Gavin has Hello Kitty PJs?? Must have pic now!
Gavin chuckled when he realized he and Ace were not alone in this conversation. It appeared that Lucas was also up at this godforsaken hour.
Gavin: Ace lies. Clearly, he is so exhausted from all that knitting he is doing that he is no longer seeing straight.
Ace: Honey, I haven’t seen straight since before I got hair on my balls.
Lucas: Never doubted your queerness, babes. So, what are we all doing up on the party line?
Gavin: Actually, this message is for Ace. You still watching the cottage surveillance cameras?
Ace: Yup! Just as Marco-lini ordered.
Hmm, this wasn’t going to do.
Gavin: I need you to stop watching the video feed in the garage for about forty-five… no, make that an hour.
Lucas: Why? What’s going on in the garage? Is everything ok?
There was a long pause as Gavin waited for Ace to respond.
Ace: My brother is in the garage fixing that piece of shit car he bought almost two years ago. Why do you care if I see him doing that?
Gavin: Cus he won’t be doing that for very long… and I don’t think you want to watch what I’m going to make your brother do to me next.
Gavin added a devil-face emoji at the end of his message.
Lucas’s next message contained an eggplant emoji, an arrow, and a glazed donut.
Gavin chuckled. Puppy turned to look at him with judgment in his eyes.
Ace: You’re right. I don’t need to be violently ill for the rest of my life.
That message was followed by a puking emoji face.
Ace: Camera is going down for the next two hours… just to be safe.
Gavin: Two hours?!? Have you seen your brother's package? Two hours and I’ll need an ICU! An hour is about all any human can take!
Lucas: LOL
Ace: Arg! We are no longer friends. Good night, my horny ferret.
Gavin: Thanks! Love you bois, too!
