Alex smiled at Jason. 'Make yourself at home for a short while. I need to take a call.' He said. 'The living room is the door on the right.' He tapped Dan's number into his phone and hit call. He knew exactly what he wanted and exactly what he would say.

'Dan. I don't have time to talk so just listen. There will be no party at my house. I have company. Important company. And there is no way I could have a party tonight. I won't be attending one either.' He hung up, leaving Dan dumbstruck on the other side.
