hungry eyes, and although they would never lay their hands on her, she would flirt with them until she won the deal. And that is how it went. There was plenty of food and the finest wine in the bar as the brothers both tried to impress her with their charm, and by the time that Helen had downed her tenth glass of wine, she was not sure that she would be able to stand at all. They all talked gaily, and it was decided that she would make the payment for the first consignment tomorrow morning. It was well past ten, and there was no sign of Julio, and she began to get anxious.
     
    “Well Miss Smart, it was such a pleasure meeting you,” Eduardo Del Monte said to her, “But I think we should leave. Can we give you a ride back to your place?”
    “No guys, I should be fine, my driver should be here soon,” she replied.
    “Well then, maybe we should wait with you until he arrives,” Juan put in.
    “No really guys, I will be just fine, you guys scoot along and I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning,” she said, actually scared that if she woke up in front of him, she would fall flat on her face and embarrass herself in front of them.
    “Okay then, see you tomorrow.”
     
    The brothers left the restaurant and Helen was left there wondering what to do next. There were some English folks on a table near her, and they waved at her when she looked their way. She waved back and pulled out her phone to see if she could reach Julio. His phone was out of battery, which really made her worry about how she could get home. There were no cabs in this town, and besides, she could not trust just anybody here since she was a foreigner and foreigners were popular for kidnappings. She went over to the counter, struggling to walk straight, and ordered for a bottle of water. She then called the only other person that she could call, Earl.
     
    “Hello,” she said, trying not to sound drunk, “Could you come and pick me up. I have tried to call Julio but his phone is switched off.”
    “I thought that he was with you,” Earl's voice crackled through the earpiece.
    “No, he left immediately, he said that he had some errands to ran for you,” she replied.
    “Let me see if I can get him.”
    “Well how about while you are doing that I talk to the handsome English fellows here at the bar?,” she said, hanging up the phone, and knowing that it would annoy Earl and make him come over as soon as possible.

    Earl was in a fuming rage by the time that he entered the restaurant and sa w Helen with a group of English, one in particular looking like he was trying to make a move on her. He would break his neck with his bare hands if he tried anything with his girl. Earl had never known himself to be so possessive, but he was filled with jealousy as he strode to the table, mad.
     
    “Hello Helen,” he said feigning to be happy to see them all. “I see that you have found some new friend's!”
    “Earl, these gentlemen were just keeping me company. Meet Steve, Mike, Larry and john from Manchester in the U.K.,” she said.
    “Hello guys, I am here to pick up Helen,” he said, controlling his voice as much as possible to hide his anger and envy.
    “Well, we can drop her for you, if you wish,” one of the men said, actually patting Helen on the shoulder.
    Earl's eyes filled with rage as he looked at the guy. He could easily crush all of these guys singlehandedly without any help from outside, put Helen on his shoulder and carry her away, and there was not a thing that they could do. It was as if Helen read his mind.
     
    “Come on guys, we will meet some other time, I've had a rough day and I just want to go home,” she slurred, struggling to get up and almost tripping to the floor, but Earl reached for her just on time and steadied her.
    “Let's get you out of here, and what are you doing with strangers anyway?” Earl said as he steered her away after they had said their goodbyes.
    “Did you expect me to sit the whole
