“Then let the games begin.” The wall behind the cloaked figures opened and they all walked through it. But it didn’t close behind them. Whatever the games were, I had a feeling they started through those doors.
Ready to Mingle - Chapter 26 - Yes, Daddy
Saturday – September 14, 2013
We walked through the secret doors into an office. Some digital cameras and four sheets of paper were waiting for us on the desk, each labeled with a range of 6 numbers. I picked up the paper for “Team D - 19 to 24” and started reading:
Gryphon Club Scavenger Hunt
Tonight your team must get pictures of every item on this list. The first team to complete the hunt and return to the Gryphon Club wins. All other teams will be eliminated from consideration.
1. A gryphon statue
2. A dildo from a sorority
3. An authentic samurai helmet
4. The John Harvard statue
5. A sports car worth more than $100K
6. Posing in a store display window
7. Dancing in the library
8. A topless girl
9. One of you getting a piggyback ride from the captain of the football team
10. Something heinous
Good luck!
P.S. Every member of your team must appear in every picture.
P.P.S. Every picture must also feature one of you wearing a thong and holding two cucumbers.
“Ah!” I squealed. “This is gonna be so much fun!” I grabbed the list and a camera off the desk. “Let’s go!”
We ran out of the mansion.
“Wait!” said Chad as we ran past one of the gryphon shaped grotesques. “We need a picture with one of these.”
“Yeah, but it won’t do us any good until one of us is in a thong holding two cucumbers.”
“Shit, I forgot about that. It’s gonna take so long to go get that stuff and then come back here.”
“It would. But there’s nothing on the rules that says the pictures have to be taken in order.”
“You’re a genius,” said Chad.
“I know!” I gave him a kissy face. “I almost have our path all planned out. Just need to google something real quick…”
I pulled my backup phone out of my purse.
“Hey,” said one of our teammates. I hadn’t been paying attention when he’d been assigned his pledge mission, but I had a feeling it had something to do with the watermelon he was carrying. “I thought we were supposed to leave our phones when we took our numbers?”
“That’s her backup phone,” said Chad.
