Chapter 102

Jasper

The cat and mouse game went on for some time and it became apparent my stalker was being helped from outside because as they struck and I tried to grab whoever it was a wall would stop me. I bet Peter and Emmett were really enjoying this! So far I'd lost both boot laces, my belt, jacket, and shirt and I'd removed my boots to stop them slowing me down. Dressed only in my jeans with the smoke and colored strobe lights I must look like some kind of psychedelic monster from a drug fueled hallucination and I wondered how Jay was faring.

I didn't have long to wait to find out as suddenly I stepped into what seemed a larger area and sensed someone close by. Crouching I got ready to attack when I recognized Jay's voice.

"I'm really fucking hoping its you Major."

"Yeah, you had any strange experiences in here?"

"You mean like being attacked by some kleptomaniac with a fetish for clothes?"

"Yeah."

"What the fuck is going on?"

"No idea but I think, maybe we're close to finding out. Why else would we be reunited?"

There was a movement whirling in the smoke which seemed to have thinned slightly and I found myself caught by some kind of metal beam holding me pinned to the wall and hearing a yell from Jay I guessed he'd found himself with the same problem.

"You trapped?"

Before I could answer him I felt someone undoing my jeans and tugging them down and despite struggling I couldn't free myself quickly enough.

"What the fuck!"

It sounded like Jay got the same treatment but I was distracted by the feel of hands on my naked body, slim fingers hooking in the waistband of my boxers and wondered if I were about to be stripped totally naked in a second..

Peter

I looked at Emmett and nodded so he turned a dial and the others glanced at the monitors as the smoke began to clear very slowly. At first they couldn't make out anything but then two piles of clothing became visible and Carlisle groaned.

"What did you do?"

I looked at him, the picture of innocence,

"Me? I've been here with you, what the fuck am I supposed to have done?"

He turned to Emmett who was slightly less successful at the innocent look but it would come with practice and experience.

"I'm just going out to check on…."

He disappeared leaving me to deal with Doctor Doom.

"Chill doc, just a little bachelor night fun, no one got hurt. Or not so far anyway. You'll be able to see everything really soon."

Carlisle

The smoke continued to thin until we could see figures inside but there were four not two. The two taller who were obviously Jasper and Jay seemed to be pinned to the walls by thick steel girders across their chests while the two smaller were doing something to them. They looked vaguely familiar and then it hit me and I groaned.

"See you got it Doc."

"Is that Tanya and Kate in there?"

"Yeah, good sports they are. As soon as we explained what we needed they were only too happy to volunteer their help. Girls after my own heart"

"Bella and Alice are going to kill us all you know that don't you? Not to mention Esme."

The smoke was almost gone now showing the scene clearly although the strobe lights flickering made the whole scene look unearthly. Both the guys were naked except for their boxers and had been spray painted fluorescent pink! The girls were taking photos between bouts of laughter then took off just as the steel girders began to buckle with the guys efforts to free themselves. The music died abruptly and the girls came flying out of the warehouse running back towards the marina while Peter and Emmett stood holding their sides and laughing themselves silly.

Jasper

Looking at each other we couldn't help laughing, we'd been had well and truly and by two of the wedding guests.

"Who the fuck were they?"

"Tanya and Kate Denali, you'll see them at the wedding, they are friends of Carlisle and Esme."

"Great, so I get married with two women who stripped me and painted me pink watching? What the fuck is Alice gonna say?"

"Oh I think she probably already knows unless she decided not to peek. Do you think this paint is gonna come off easily?"

He looked down at his chest then tried rubbing an arm,

"Nope, not by the look of it."

I pulled open the waistband of my boxers and peered down groaning,

"Well a blue dick is different I guess."

He looked down horrified at his own,

"Oh fuck purple! If this doesn't come off I'm gonna kill someone…..no make that several someones."

We grabbed our clothes but after looking at myself I just pulled my jeans on and put the rest under my arm then Jay and I sauntered as casually as we could under the circumstances out of the warehouse to confront our "friends."

"Pink suits you Major."

I glanced at Hunter who put both hands up and backed away,

"Just saying is all."

I looked round but there was no sign of Peter or Emmett, only Edward trying without much success to keep a straight face and Carlisle who wasn't sure quite what expression to adopt.

"Which way did they go?"

"Who?"

"Peter and my dear brother."

Carlisle

We returned to the house slowly unsure of the reception that might await us but the house seemed deserted.

"Were the girls going out this evening?"

Edward nodded,

"Yeah I forgot to tell you. They decided to go hunting while we were otherwise…...ah engaged."

"Then we have time to try getting this shit off before they get home. Maybe they'll never know it happened."

Jasper looked at Jay as he stopped speaking,

"You forget the camera Tanya was holding. I doubt those photographs will just vanish into thin air."

The two went upstairs to see if the paint was water soluble but I doubted the guys and girls would make it that easy for them, I wouldn't have!

Jasper

We tried soap and water but that was far too easy, the paint didn't budge and standing there stark naked we couldn't help laughing. Peter and Em had gone to a whole load of trouble and hard work setting this up and it had been a huge success but I just wondered when the photographs would surface and how Bella would react to hearing I'd been stripped and spray painted all over by another woman. Alice would probably find the whole thing hilarious, after all she knew Tanya and Kate but Bella….well it would be interesting and possibly dangerous for all concerned.

Eventually Carlisle found some paint thinners and that worked to a degree, at least the worst was off although we still tended to glow in the dark! Edward and Hunter helped by cutting off the splashes that had caught our hair, luckily only the very ends and by the time Peter and Emmett finally made an appearance we looked half way decent again.

"I'd just like to remind you that I am best man and I know you don't want a one armed or legless one standing beside you."

"You sure about that?"

"I'm willing to take my chances."

He knew I wouldn't retaliate, not yet, but I'd get my own back some time down the road. Emmett looked at Jay a little worried,

"The same goes for me Jay."

"You'll keep but I promise you I will get my own back in time."

Emmett grinned,

"Great but it's gonna have to be epic to beat that you have to agree."

He was right…. we did.
