A/N: A couple of notes: 1) There's only three chapters left after this one, so Chapter 100 will be its last and 2) I'm not sure how long it will take to get the next chapter out.

Part Eleven:“Well men, you know the drill. Five dollar minimum, there is no maximum. Let’s hope this one doesn’t turn out as bad as the last one did.” A couple awkward chuckles were heard and Casey just snorted.
