TWENTY-EIGHT

IT'S BEEN DAYS, BABY. WHY WON'T YOU TALK TO ME?

Days. How many days? Too many. He'd sent message after message, full of frogs and mermaids and other half-remembered fairy tale stuff, but Phuong hadn't responded. He'd scared her off by talking about knights and proposals, but he'd expected one of her sassy comebacks, not silence. Silence for fucking days. What'd he done wrong?

Not drunk enough bourbon, that's what. Pity there was none left. He'd have to visit the bar and liberate some more.

Maybe there was something in those romance books that he'd missed. After all, they were basically adult fairy tales, ending happily ever after with awesome sex. Everything should end with awesome sex. And start with it, too.

Jay hoisted himself off the couch and padded outside. His bare feet made almost no sound on the sand as he avoided the well-lit public pathways by taking the secret jungle tracks he'd made in his time on the island. This one was the most well-worn, probably because it led to his two favourite places – the library and the pub.

Not that he wanted to keep his visits to the pub secret. His trips to the library, however...what would people say if they saw him with an armload of romance books? Nobody would believe that he was trying to research the fuck out of the things.

Because being a rock star wasn't enough.

He knew that now. Now that he wasn't one any more, not really. He figured he still had rock god status, but he wasn't a star any more if he didn't perform.

That's why he'd gone for a girl with a foreign-sounding name who was looking for a fairy tale, because he figured he could deliver on that bit if he just read enough of the right books. He'd read them again and again, the ones on mail-order brides. Until he knew what he'd done wrong. He'd send another message, the perfect one that made everything all right again, and she'd come to the island and they'd live happily ever after and shit.

Yeah.

He rounded the last palm tree, edging carefully past the spiky pandanus, before emerging behind Meier's house. No, not any more. Meier had left, hadn't he? There was a new manager. The bitch with the bucket, who'd tried to drown him the other day.

Jason glanced at the veranda and grinned. The stacked boxes of supplies by her front door gave him a brilliant idea for revenge. Meier had always ordered a case of rum with his food order and there it was, right on top. He just felt like a drink, too.

He ripped into the box and grabbed two bottles of rum. Tucking them under his arms, he whistled as he walked through the deserted staff dongas to the library. It wasn't open to guests yet, but that wouldn't stop him. His ID was a skeleton key, allowing him entry to everywhere at the resort. One swipe and the library door slid open to welcome him inside.

The door hissed shut behind him and not a moment too soon – he heard male voices and approaching footsteps.
