“No.”
“Come on…”
“You want me to come in the same car with you? Or even acknowledge that I know you?”
“Yeah.”
“Then you’ll leave that home.” Ryan eyed Eric’s floral patterned shirt with disgust. “Preferably in the trash.”
“I just bought this!”
“And it’s hideous. Just put something on and hurry up. We’ll be late.”
“It just for the crew, totally unofficial. No one’s even gonna notice.” Eric pulled on a blue shirt. “How’s this?”
“A lot better.”
“Are you gonna take… you know?”
“This?” Ryan pulled jacket open long enough, so Eric could see the flash of a white in his pocket. The envelope was too large to fit completely into the pocket and the top half was peeking out. “Night of big announcements.”
“Announcements? As in plural?”
“Yeah.” Ryan grinned and crouched down to tie his shoelaces. “And don’t ask who’ll be making the other ones. It’s top secret, just like what happens to your character next week when we move back to the old studios.”
“I don’t like the sound of that…”
“It’s a bit like fiction imitating real life. Turns out the character Sophia played was just an impostor and Willows is coming back for a limited run.”
“Really?”
“And I do mean limited. One week and then she’s dead, along with some other people.”
“Don’t tell me…” Eric’s mouth was hanging open. “She’s the face-slasher?”
“It kinda fits. Old crow attacks younger women and mutilates their faces.”
“How did they convince Willow’s to go along with that?”
“They didn’t tell her until after she had signed the deal. The slasher will be exposed, and in her last effort to escape, she sets the whole house on fire.”
“Should I be worried?”
“No one important is going to die, except her. And Lindsay’s character.”
“Finally. I was thinking they were gonna keep her “vacationing in South of France” for years.”
“Willow’s had her kept captive in her basement and they’ll find her remains after the fire.” Ryan sighed. “They had to write her out some way.”
“I know.” Eric agreed and took one more in the mirror. “Ready to go.”

“No.”
“It’s just a minor operation-”
“Why do you wanna do it? No one sees them but me and you.” Don stated. He crawled up Hawkes`s body, pressing small kisses along the skin of the man’s belly, following the lines of the surgical scars.
“Because I can see them.” Hawkes threw his head back and enjoyed the soft touched across his abdomen. Don’s lips headed south again. “I have no idea why you think they’re so fascinating.”
“Shouldn’t you just be glad I think they’re a turn-on and not a turn-off?” Don smirked and dove down between the other man’s spread thighs. “Repeat after me: No laser surgery.”
“No la….” Hawkes`s voice faltered.
“No what?”
“No la…”
“No La La?”
“We… I… we should be on our way already…”
“Sounds like you already are.”
“To the studio, we’ll be late…”
“Say the words and I’ll handle the rest.”
“No laser.”
“Correct answer, you won the prize.”
-----------------------------------
“No.”
“Tell me.”
“You’ll hear about it with everyone else.” Greg stated with a stern tone. “And there’s nothing you can to wheedle it out of me.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Well, you could put on your cowboy boots and hat and play-”
“Some way that we can do in ten minutes?”
“Nope. But it’s a good surprise.”
“They finally installed a gym to the studio?”
“No, and they vetoed my plea for a S&M-chamber too.” Greg deadpanned. “They built the destroyed parts according to the old blueprints. It’s kinda nice.”
“That nothing changes?”
“Things change all the time, but it’s nice that some things go backwards. Remember what the place was like when I came on board?”
“Yeah.”
“And the first time I bent you over my desk.”
“How could I forget?”
“And the first time we did it in your dressing room.”
“Good times…”
“And the first time I let you do me.”
“If I remember correctly, that wasn’t at the studio.”
“I meant my hair.” Greg shot him a glare, accessorised with a lopsided grin. “The first time I let you help with my spikes. I never let a guy help me with my hair unless the relationship is serious.”
“I guess that’s a compliment…”
“It is. Now we’re gonna go to the studio and have a very good night. Building’s ready to be deflowered.”
“Are you going to-”
“No in the middle of the party. We’ll go there, get drunk, eat cake, I’ll make my announcement, drink more, eat cake, come home and re-enact the beach scene from “From here to eternity” on the living room floor and get some sand and seawater here for that.”
“What was that last one?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to know you do actually listen and not just let everything I say go in from one ear and out from the other.” Greg chuckled and looked Nick carefully. “You don’t do that, do you?”
“Well…”
“Because if you do, I’ll finish my big announcement by telling everyone how much you love wearing side-saddle.”
“I’ll remember that…”
“Good, let’s go. Ryan and Eric are gonna meet us at the gate. They got their own big announcement to make.”
“They’re leaving?”
“You mean the show? No, Eric just signed a new two year contract and Ryan still has over a year left before renewal. This is personal.”
“And you’re not gonna tell me?”
“Nope. Get your script and let’s go.”
“I need a script for the studio’s re-opening party?”
“No, it’s for later. When everyone`s gone, we’ll do some one-on-one read-through on the new soundstage.”
