“Take us to her right now,” Adina demanded.
“You’re too late. They should be fish food by now.”
“Take us there.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No,” Harris said, swiveling his head.
“Yes,” Adina mimicked.
Nicole brandished the hair spray. “Show us where you’ve stashed Mary Lou.”
“I’ve got a pumice stone and I’m not afraid to use it,” Jennifer said.
“Full. Body. Wax,” Petra whispered directly into Harris’s ear.
“Okay! Okay. She’s down below, in the caves.”
“Just for that, you don’t get a gummi bear,” Tiara said and finished off the last one.
Adina yanked Harris to his feet. “Take us there now.”
They kept Harris’s hands together with panty hose and he led them to a secret elevator that took them down one more floor. It opened on a secret, high-tech laboratory hidden in a cave.
“Whoa,” Jennifer said, taking in the cave’s gleaming high-tech devices. “Total tech p**n .”
“Oh, no,” Tiara cried. She pointed to the piranha tank. The hook that had held Mary Lou and Tane was completely submerged. The remains of Mary Lou’s sash bobbed on the water. A ravenous piranha surfaced briefly to eat several floating sequins.
“We’re too late,” Nicole said, a catch in her voice.
“She was my best friend.” Adina was near tears. “I’m so sorry, Mary Lou. So, so sorry.”
“I thought we outlawed that word.” Mary Lou’s head poked up from behind a rock. Her hair was disheveled and her face was flushed. “What’s up, Teen Dreamers?”
“Mary Lou!” Adina rushed toward her friend.
“Wait! Hold on a sec.” Mary Lou dropped behind the rock. In a second, she stood, hurriedly buttoning her top. A young man in a similar state of quick-dress rose next to her. “You guys, this is Tane, my boyfriend.”
Tane waved. “H’lo.”
The girls did not move. Could not move. They looked from Mary Lou to Tane and back again.
“They’re staring because they thought you were imaginary,” Mary Lou told him. “Also, because you’re hot.”
“Objectifying me much?”
“No!” Mary Lou said quickly. “Well, a little.”
“ ’S all right. I’ve objectified you in my head plenty.”
“Awwww. Thanks, sweetie.” Mary Lou kissed Tane and wrapped her leg around his waist.
“Okay, we could come back in an hour if you need more time,” Jennifer said.
“Could you?” Mary Lou managed between kisses.
