Katherine and Hunter walked into Hunter's house and Katherine stopped with a halt. They
looked around at all of the drunken superstars that cluttered Hunter's house.

"What the fuck?"

"Hey you two."

Hunter and Katherine saw Chris walk out of the kitchen. Chris noticed Hunter had allot of
luggage in his arms. He wondered how Hunter managed to pull that off. Katherine was
trying to hide her laughter. And Hunter was near his boiling point.

"I told you to watch after my house."

"I did. Nobody trashed it. And since everyone was so plastered they just decided to just
sleep where they fell."

Chris flashed his famous don't hate me smile at Hunter. Katherine smiled and looked
around the room.

"Is there any food left?"

"Sure thing Kit-Kat, there's some pizza in the kitchen."

Chris ushered Katherine into the kitchen as Hunter sighed and maneuvered his way
through the battle zone of people to the stairs. He knew his carpet was comfy but this was
a little overboard. He walked into the spare bedroom and checked it to make sure it wasn't
"occupied". To his relief it wasn't so he placed Katherine's bags on the bed. He'd turned to
leave when his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hunter, It's Vince, care to tell me why you wanted me to call Billy in the middle of the
night and ask him to come here?"

"In a minute, is he still there?"

"No, he just left. He said he didn't want to go on the Asian tour, now tell me why I had to
ask him."

Hunter let out a long painful sigh.

"Billy's been beating Kat, I had to get him out of the house so I could get her out of
there."

"WHAT? If this is your idea of a joke..."

"IT'S NOT! She's back here at my house, I'm going to try and get her to let us help her.
I'm trying not push her, but I did manage to get her out for a least a night."

"How long has this been going on?"

"No telling."

"What are you planning Hunter?"

"Have to tell you later I hear her, bye."

"I hope you know what your doing."

Hunter hung up the phone and walked out into the hallway. Katherine was eating the
remaining bites of her pizza while Chris was walking closely behind her.

"You can sleep in here, Kat."

"Thank you Hunter, I'm tired so I think I'll call it a night."

Hunter and Chris both said goodnight to Katherine. Chris yawned and started walking
down the stairs.

"Yep, I think I'll find an extra space of floor and lie down too."

"Not so fast Chris." Hunter grabbed Chris by the shoulders and turned him around.

"What? If this about your house again....."

"No you dumbass! This is about how are we going to keep Billy away from Katherine!"

"But I figured she was staying..."

"Yeah, she's staying here for ONE NIGHT!"

Chris was suddenly wide awake again.

"So what? She's just going to go back to him in the morning, give her bruises a little time
to heal and then go get more?"

"As much as I enjoy getting talked about behind my back, I think I'm going to have to cut
this part short and go back home."

Chris and Hunter turned quickly around and saw Katherine standing behind them. And for
the first time in a long time "The Game" and "The Ayatollah" were at a loss of words.
