After apologizing once more for missing the proposal and taking a few photos of the happy couple and future in-laws, Drake started on the dishes as Jake said his goodbyes to the ecstatic Lola and her family.
“There were nearly a dozen of them,” Drake explained as Jake came into the kitchen. “They needed a little active discouragement, but they eventually left without causing too much trouble.”
“Oh man, thanks so much!” a relieved Jake sighed. “Those guys were a total bummer, but I just couldn’t get involved, for Lola’s sake.”
Drake nodded, understandingly.
“Unfortunately, this isn’t over just yet,” he said. “The leader got away and he won’t be happy about taking out his men like that. I’m going to stick around for a few days until this is sorted.”
“Where’re you gonna stay?”
“Probably in a hotel or we’ll just sleep in the Bentley.”
“Uh-uh, no way, Jose, all the hotels around here suck and a car is no accommodation for a Mandible, even if it IS a Bentley. You’ll be staying with me little bro, no questions asked.”
Drake didn’t argue. Besides, if he didn’t accept, Nickelby would never let him hear the end of it…
