"Hey Mom? Can I go to a party tonight?" Taylor asked.
"A party? Sure. Where at?"
"Gregs."
Diana looked at him.
"Greg? I'm not sure if I like that idea. I know what Greg is like."
"Oh come on, please?" Taylor begged. "I haven't seen them in ages."
Diana hesitated.
"Well, only if Ike goes too."
"Yes!"
"And Laura."
Taylors' little dance of triumph came to a sudden halt.
"Laura?" he repeated.
"Yes Laura. I told you, I know what Greg is like. I don't want you two dragging yourselves home half-dead because some of his drunk friends decided to have a wrestling match."
"We're not gonna get into any fights."
"Taylor, I trust you, and I trust Ike. But I don't trust Greg. If you want to go over to one of his parties, fine, that's your decision. But I want Laura to go too. Half the reason why she was hired was because she blends into the crowd. She goes, or you don't."
"Oh, man." Taylor complained. "Oh, ok. Fine, Laura goes too."

Upon arrival at the party, Laura took one look around before giving Isaac and Taylor a weird look.
"And these guys are your friends?" she questioned.
"No, only a few of them are." Isaac answered. "And more are friends of Taylors' than mine."
Laura shook her head in disgust.
