Brody introduced himself to Mercedes and invited her in. She entered to the apartment, which looked a little messy and sat in an armchair in front of Brody, who started preparing coffee. Mercedes looked around, she was glad that Blaine was doing well. She wasn't Blaine closest friend, but she liked to talk with him.

"So… you're from New Directions, right?" Brody asked as he poured some coffee in a cup, trying to find some conversation.

"Yes, well, I was, I graduated last year. I'm currently working as a singer. I sing in an Art Gallery, five nights a week, here, in New York, and I'm doing well" she said proudly as Brody gave her a cup of coffee and sat nearby.

"Blaine mentioned you a couple of times, he says you're very talented."

"Thank you" she said smiling. "Blaine and I weren't too close but we get along well."

"Can I know why did you decide to come? I'm sure he'll be happy to know you came to visit him." He smiled friendly to Mercedes as he moved playfully the sketch book from one hand to the other.

"Did you know Blaine is a great artist? Not only as a performer, of course. He loves painting and drawing. The owner of the Art Gallery said they were looking for new talent and I thought of him. This could be his big chance. This Gallery is huge. Important people from all over the world visit this place. Last night they sold a small painting for $20000. They earn a lot of money, that's why they can afford a full orchestra."

Brody was surprised Blaine never said a word about his hidden talent. He looked again at the sketch book and opened it. Mercedes was right, Blaine was talented. Each drawing was a masterpiece. He saw each sketch one by one until he found a naked boy in a bed with messy hair and great muscles. After watching it closely he realized Blaine made a drawing of him while he was sleeping. Brody blushed and closed the book.

"I think you need to talk with Blaine! You're right! This is a great opportunity, he can't miss it" he said, as he stood up.

"And if he doesn't get the job, at least he can get a spot in the band" Mercedes joked and Brody smiled. "Do you know where Blaine is right now?"

Brody opened his mouth and shocked. By this time, Blaine was probably arriving to the Chicken Strip or checking the size of his underwear. Brody was so stupid. His boyfriend was about to sell his body and he didn't stop him when he had the chance.

"Is something wrong?" Mercedes asked.

"Blaine is about to make the greatest mistake of his life. We need to stop him."
