The cameras switched to Pennsylvania, erupting cheering from the pledgers. Almost all the pledgers enjoyed watching him. There was always something about the way the task freaked him out, which was a delight to watch and very entertaining. He was always among the first to take on the task but was always a wreck by the time he was done.They watched as he dressed up. He was one of the players that looked to have no problem with the challenge, even though he was married. He looked determined. His wife was in the bathroom preparing to go and visit their daughter. They were supposed to go together, but Pennsylvania saw it as an opportunity to deal with his task while his wife was away. She had no idea about the games or the contract her husband signed, and he wanted it to stay that way, especially if he failed to make it out alive from the games. He did not want to cheat on her, but he convinced himself it was for both their benefits. They both wanted their daughter to live a happy life
Pennsylvania was trembling, glued to his spot as Karen's husband knelt over his wife's body his mouth agape.He was in a good position to look for a way out of the house, but his thoughts were elsewhere. He dashed up the stairs, searching every room for the murderers. He thought the organization was inside the house and they shot Karen despite the fact that she was holding the gun.Downstairs, the neighbors began knocking on the door. They had heard the moaning, which was followed by shouting and gunfire. Some had already called the police. Since the door was open, they began walking into the house to the horror of Karen's dead body in the arms of her husband, who kept yelling for her to open her eyes.The scene in front of them was not farfetched; they always knew Karen's presumptuous life was going to be her ending. They all dropped in, searching for the man she was caught with, but saw nothing. They were sure no one had run out of the door or maybe he went through the back window.
The fifth game received its first casualty; it was a bomber considering how the woman had survived four games only to be rejected because of her physical appearance. They drank one for her and then turned their attention to Connecticut, who couldn't seem to get up. Unlike Alaska, he managed to convince his neighbor to open her legs for him. But he just could not seem to get it up with all the stress he had because of the game. He was practically sweating and shaking, turning her off. She had tried giving him a hand and a blow just to put him in the mood for it, but it appeared every attempt was just making things worse for him. She couldn't gather why he had even called her over when his mind seemed to be elsewhere. She pushed him off and decided to leave. She could only assume he was on some type of drug or something. "Rachel, wait," he cried out for her as he realized he was about to fail his task. "Get your shit together and do not ever call me to waste my time!" she yelled at
The pledger's room was quiet as they watched in horror. On any other day, most of them could not mind watching an old man get laid by a fellow man, but what they witnessed was beyond anything more than entertaining. Most of them thought the old man had a perfect plan, but the introduction of drugs messed up an execution that seemed to be the only plan that he would have walked out of the house without humiliation. But they could never tell why he added drugs. Others assumed it so he wouldn't be aware of the act he was going to engage in, but that only gave the organizers a perfect setup.Now he sat on the young man's bed, boxers only, with the young man's lifeless body lying on the floor.The police officers were trying to disperse the crowd that was trying to get inside the house with the intention of getting a glimpse of the old man. There was a TV crew outside trying to get on top of the story. The news of a gay man dying of intoxication after a wild night with an old married man
Washington ran as fast as he could to his house, almost tumbling to the floor. It was getting dark and most of the neighbors were inside their houses. He needed to get his message to the organizers before they killed him. He went straight to his drawer, grabbed a marker and a piece of paper, and quickly scribbled on it. He was very aware that the probability of Acer picking up his call was zero, so he had to rely on sending out his message using paper and ink.He raised the plain paper in the air for the organization to read. He knew there were cameras in the house, but he had no idea where they were, so he kept turning around for them to read.The paper read, "Vaginal, anal, and oral are types of sexual intercourse, Google it!"Acer and some pledgers had trouble reading the paper, forcing her to pick up her phone and call him.Washington quickly answered his phone, sighing in relief. "You have one second before you drop dead. What the f*** are you talking about?" She yelled at him.
Two more hours passed with nothing happening to either Washington or the woman he claimed to have had sex with. The pledgers were tired of waiting in anticipation. They wanted answers, even though the organizers seemed uninterested in giving those answers.They were told to hold on and give their attention to other players who were still playing the fifth game. Most of the players were succeeding more than they were predicted. Having sex with neighbors was more common than they had expected. Some players only needed to calm themselves and continue the numerous affairs they had with their neighbors. Some solved their long-term conflicting affairs by getting rid of their partner in crime. Others had to get rid of friends with benefits. It came down to deciding what was more important: their lives and the lives of their loved ones, or an occasional hook-up.Ten more players made it: Arkansas, California, Kentucky, Nebraska, New York, Nevada, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, and Maine,
As Washington slowly opened his eyes, he could smell the breach and various scents that came from hospital medicine. He was alive and he was lying next to his wife. He quickly got up, removed his cellphone from his pocket, and there was his congratulatory message staring back at him.He burst out laughing in shock, waking up his wife. He quickly apologized to her and held his mouth in shock. He beat them at their own game. He finally used his head and beat them."What... is going on?" his wife asked, curious. It was the first time in months that she had heard him laugh."It's nothing, honey. I am just working on something... I will tell you all about it when it's done," he replied and put his phone aside.She cocked her head up, "Please do not get yourself into more debt," she stated, surprising him. He froze, his smile completely vanishing. He had no idea she knew about his debt status. "I know you are in a lot of debt...David, you have to stop... There is going to be life after I'm
The silence stretched. All the players that wanted to bargain out began reconsidering their options. Getting a woman out of her house did not seem like something difficult unless there was a hidden agenda. Acer went on to clarify, "the woman must step foot outside her house. Her opening the door alone does not qualify. Peeking out of a window does not qualify. I hope we will not have players trying to outsmart the game," she warned and wished them luck."Wait a minute, can we forcefully break into the house and get her out?" Michigan asked.Acer paused and quickly contacted her bosses. They hesitated a bit but decided to make it a fair clean game. "No, you can not break into the house or use any form of violence," Acer warned all of them and switched off her phone.Some players were already running to their rooms to pack a bag in hopes of getting to Texas first. Pennsylvania, who was one of the furthest away, was already in his car, grabbing his packages, and heading to the airpor
