Chapter 1: The Video
Dick enters the suite, throws his bag on the couch and plops down next to it.
"Did you have a rough day honey?" Logan jokes as he walks out of the kitchenette with two beers in his hands.
"Dude, I don't even know why I bother going. These classes are so brutal." He sighs as he reaches for his beer.
"Well, it's the weekend, just let loose and forget about it." Logan offers while tapping his beer with Dick's, and then downs it.
"Totally. I'm just gonna check my email quick and then we'll get started." Dick pulls out his laptop and starts typing. Something interesting catches Dick's eye. "Dude, come check this out. Chip sent me some more porn!"
Logan rolls his eyes and walks over and sits down next to Dick. Dick clicks on the file titles 'The Next Paris Hilton!' Both boys recognize that the room in the video is one of the dorm rooms at Hearst. Some guy walks into frame and sits down on the bed. " Hey man, isn't that Max? Dude I don't want to see this." Logan tells Dick sternly, slightly fearing that they might be witnessing Max cheating on Mac or worse.
" Dude, get over it. The chick just got there."
They watch as the girl crawls up the bed. She looks like she's been drinking, and is oblivious to the video camera. As the girl clumsily flips her hair to the side, both of the boys freak out.
"Holy Shit!" Logan covers his face.
" What the Fuck! Dude why the hell is Mac...." Dick slams his fist on the table, knocking both beers over. "That guy is soo dead." He slams his laptop shut grabs the keys on the table and storms out of the room.
Logan pulls out his cell, while frantically searching for his keys to try and stop Dick from doing something stupid.
"Hello."
"Hey Ronnie. Ummm... have you talked to Mac recently?"
"Yeah, we're meeting in the quad after her class is done, which is in about an hour and a half. Why?"
"Alright. Well, is there anyway that I can meet you guys there a little bit earlier? There is something you guys really need to see." He still can't find his keys. "Shit!"
"Logan, what is it? What's going on?"
"Fucking Dick! He took my keys. Ok, well Dick opened some porn on his computer, and it turns out that it was of Max and Mac. And now Dick is on his way to kill Max and it looks like he grabbed my keys by accident."
"What!? Ok Logan, I'm just on my way in, I'll be there in five minutes. And I'll call Mac and tell her to meet us there in twenty minutes."
"Alright. Hopefully Dick hasn't done too much damage by then."
**************
Dick storms out of the suite, walks past the elevator to the stairs. The elevator would take too long for him. He bounds down the stairs in no time.
When he gets to his truck, he tries the set of keys in his hand and realizes they're Logan's. Instead of going back up to get his keys, he gets into Logan's range rover, and burns out of the parking lot.
He doesn't think of anything, but trying to remember where this Max guy's room is. He then remembers that he went there for a test once.
When Dick gets to the dorms, he doesn't even park, just pulls up in the fire lane. He's out of the truck and up the stairs in no time, pushing aside anyone who gets in his way. Once he is outside Max's door he starts banging furiously. When the door opens, Dick grabs Max by his collar and shoves him against the wall.
" Hey!? Wh..what are you doing?" Max stutters out, clearly very scared.
"You know why I'm here! What the hell were you thinking, video taping Mac!" Dick screams out while viciously punching Max at every open angle. Fury clearly driving every punch.
"Ow.. Oh god!...ooofff.." Max is so winded, he can't get any words out.
It takes four campus police to finally pull Dick away from Max. They drag him to their holding area, waiting for the Sheriff's department tto come pick him up. Max lays limp on the ground, and is carried away by an ambulance.
Veronica, Logan and Mac all run in just as both boys are being taken to their respective destinations. They all just stand there, still unaware which boy to follow.
" I guess we were too late." Logan huffs out.
