Problems
"Jude you're here, so why don't you start circulating the room, there are some importing music records here, so try to make a good impression." Georgia says giving Jude a little push towards a music exec.
Turning to face Tommy she had a strange expression on her face. It looked sort of sad sort of mad. "Tommy we have a problem." she says quietly.
"what kind of problem?" Tommy asks, getting worried. He knew that G-Major was hanging on by a thread, mainly still out there cause of Jude. If it was something to do with that they all might be in some trouble.
" Well G-Major's has been bought out." she replies sadly " Darius found out about the loans and went to the bank offering to cover them all so long as he would get G-Major and they…. accepted. As of now I no longer have ownership."
"But I thought everything was in order, we were paying daily"
"Not… exactly. The last few months have been really tough and Jude hasn't been doing that well with the public and we've missed a few payments here and there."
"We have to tell Jude" Tommy says anxiously, looking around for where she was.
"No she has to act normal for the party. After, once everyone has left, we can break the news." She tells him tersely stopping him from walking up to Jude " So far everyone's jobs are still safe but I don't know how long Darius will wait before firing people he thinks are expendable. I am not going to be working for him however. EJ decided to stay but I just can't. I was offered a job in New York and I'm going to take it."
"Georgia what about Jude's record, about all the records for all the artists?"
"they'll just keep going as they've been going, and hopefully Darius won't cut anyone's albums. I am just telling you know so you wont be surprised if Darius comes to gloat. Jude however does not need to know right this minute. Understood?" Georgia says forcefully.
" Ya I get it. Don't tell Jude and act normal." he says tiredly
"Good now lets get this over with. Oh and can you try and keep Jude away from Darius for now, if you can and I'll see what I can do about everyone job wise."
"Sure Georgia" Tommy walks off and begins searching for Jude, which was not as easy as it should have been. Eventually he found her in the middle of a group of guys, who were all very obviously trying to get her number.
Seeing Tommy, Jude smiled with relief and had a reason to excuse herself.
"thanks for rescuing me those guys just wouldn't take the hint. They didn't believe me when I said I
already had boyfriend. Can you believe that?" oh yes I can if they've been seeing what I've been seeing.
A few inches shorter and that dress would be considered indecent. What the heck had EJ been thinking?
"So Jude how's the circulating been going? Met anyone really famous that you've decided to run away with?" He asks jokingly.
"Aww Quincy you know the only man I'd run away with is you, what with you good looks and charm" Jude replies sarcastically.
"Oh you wound me girl." ya, me and any guy within drooling distance.
"whatever. So Tommy have you seen Sadie? I've been looking for her everywhere but I can't find her." Jude asks worriedly. Everyone new that Sadie was always anxious about party's and never missed one if possible.
"no but maybe her and Kwest just got a flat or something. He said he'd been having some car trouble recently." He replies distractedly, trying so damn hard to keep his eyes on her face and not any lower.
" Ya that's probably it, I just don't like the thought of….. Hey Quincy my eyes are up here not down there." she tells him, annoyed that he wasn't listening to her but focusing his, ah attentions, elsewhere on her.
" what oh uh sorry yeah I'll just give Kwest a call, see what's going on if it will put your mind at ease" he says apologetically
"Thanks" she replies softly, knowing that speed would never have humored her, just said she was imagining things, and to chill out.
"Yea well it's no problem" he says slightly embarrassed, opening his phone and dialing Kwest's number.
"Hey man where are you? Jude's getting worried bout her sister." Tommy asked absent mindidly while wondering if there was a way for him to get Jude to bend over.
"We're stuck in the middle of nowhere. The stupid engine decided to die on me and Sadie's been complaining a mile a minute. Would ya mind driving out to pick her up and bring her to the party while I deal with this hunk a junk?"
"No problem just give me a few minutes and I'll find a way to leave unnoticed. Where exactly are you?" Tommy asks.
"Just about 3 miles down road 56. Thanks man." "yea no problem."
" So are they okay and everything?" Jude asks anxiously. Ever since there mom had taken off with her lawyer Jude had become protective of Sadie.
"There fine just some car trouble. I'll go and get your sister and be back in no time. In the mean time you just stay here and mingle." Tommy says.
Then, as casually as possible, he leaves G-Major and does something he'll probably regret for a long, long time.
