The incident had entaged the team leader, who punished them by banning them from participating in any races for three months.
They were only invited to todays victory party as a courtesy, yet here they were, stirring up trouble again. Damon conudered stepping in to stop them but pauseid mid step: thought.
Why should I care? Noelle has insisted on coming and claimed she could take care of herself.
If something happened, it would be her own fault not my responsibility: If he intervened.
Lesa might misinterpret his actions and think he was siding with Noelle .
That would devastate Leia He thought.
No.
I cant get involved.
Theres no reason forto do so Just as Damon was struggling internally, a drunken teammate stumbled over and threw an arm around him.
Damon ! What are you doing over here! Con, youre the star tonight.
Lets drink! The trammate dragged Damon back to the party.
Damon haltheartedly followed but couldnt help glancing back toward Noelle.
From the comer of his eye, he saw the two scumbags still pressuring her to drink.
Noelle youre amazing! Five bottles already! Baker watched in disbelief as Noelle downed her fifth boule of champagne.
Sure, the champagne wasnt particularly strong at first sap, but its aftereffects packed a punch.
Most women would be passed out after just one bottle, yet Noelle had polished off five without batting an eye...
I told you she can hold her Liquor ! Lets keep going Jarari Cannon popped open another bottle and poured it into Noelles glass.

But Noelle dodged his hand.

Jamari smiled sheepishly but mentally planned to take her to a hotel as soon as she returned.
Herschanged a look with Erick, and the three of them left the party hall Not long after.
Damon suddenly returned to the area where Noelle had been drinking No matter how much he dishked Noelle, he couldnt just leave her to fend for herself, especially with two guys like Erick and Jamari.
If they succeeded in taking advantage of her, her life would be ruined But when Damon arrived, the three of them were gone.
Where were they? His heart sank.
Where were they? In just a few minutes, they had disappeared.
Images of the hysterical pregnant woman who had confronted the team flashed in his mind.

Then he ended the call with Norlies number in hand, Damon dialed immediately, practically praying as he waited for her to pick up.

His anger boiled over as he imagined Erick and Jamari laying their hands on her.
Which hotel? Whats the room number: Noelle, sounding like a child caught in a mistake, gave him the address Without wasting a second, Damon rushed over.
When Damon arrived at the hotel, he was sweating and out of breath.

She looked at him sheepishly and said in a soft voice.

Noelle followed him inside, her voice small.
Theyre over there... lying down.
Oh, theyre just lying down, huh? Damon sneered, expecting to find the two men lounging on the bed Hut as he stepped further into the room, he froze.
