as he slid the patio door open.  “Maybe by some wild chance he will know what to do about all this.”
    Martin wasn't sure he believed Jordan's crazy tale either but came over as quickly as he could.  “Why can't I find a woman lying around outside my front door?” he mumbled to himself as he stomped his way up the stairway and slid through the already opened patio doors, just brushing passed Jordan.  He immediately began searching the room for this gorgeous blonde his friend had told him about over the phone.
    “Get out of the way Myron!” Martin scolded again as he kicked at the little mutt that also greeted him playfully.  The dog squealed and retreated back under the couch.  Jordan gave Martin an evil leer but didn't respond verbally.  He had more severe matters to tend too.
    Martin stood non-believing for a moment as his eyes landed on the young, cute thing with the great legs that was half covered with a blanket on the couch.  Then he turned to Jordan with the look of disbelief on his face.
    “What's the punch line dude?” he asked sardonically.
    “No joke Martin,” Jordan insisted, almost with anger in his voice.  “She was lying unconscious on the beach this morning.  What should I do?”
    “Have you called the authorities?”
    “She won't let me.”
    Martin shook his head then walked over to the young woman.  “You sure you don't remember anything?”  He still acted as if he didn't believe either of them.  She only shook her head not liking this guy at all.  He was cute with his reddish hair and auburn eyes, but the young woman didn't like his attitude from the first moment he spoke.
    “Look Martin...this is no joke!” Jordan scolded.
    “Bull shit!  No one finds something like that lying around by chance!  And then doesn't even call the authorities?”
    Martin was still grinning as he motioned to her, still thinking Jordan was playing a joke on him to pay him back for the many he had pulled on him over the years.
    Jordan and Martin argued amongst themselves for a few minutes.  The young lady watched and listened as they grew angry at each other.  They acted as if she didn't even exist and she began to feel as if she were causing trouble between old friends.  She couldn't stand it anymore.  Her head grew light and her vision blurred when she tried to stand and protest their constant bickering.  Now she could barely make out the two men's bodies as she tried to step toward them and now only heard muzzled voices.  She stood with the intent of running out the door but her dizziness stopped her immediately.
    Jordan and Martin both grew suddenly silent and turned to look after they heard a sudden thump from behind them.
    “Miss?  Miss?  You okay?” Jordan asked repeatedly as he again ran to her and knelt beside her limp body. She had suddenly fainted and fell flat to the floor.
    “Maybe you weren't joking,” Martin finally assessed as he too came to kneel next to her on the floor.  “We'd better get her to a doctor...don't you think?” he finally advised now with slight concern.
    “I told you I wasn't playing around!” Jordan yelled in anger at his still chuckling friend.
    Jordan carefully picked her up and rushed her down the stairs to his truck.  Gently he placed her next to himself and laid her head against his solid shoulder.
    “Pretty little thing isn't she?” Martin boasted as he climbed in the passenger side of the truck and thoroughly inspected her entire body.
    Jordan grew even angrier at his friend as they took off.  His patience was nearing an end.  “This is no time to be thinking of sex Martin!” he warned.
    He knew Martin all too well.  Sex was about all his brown-eyed friend ever thought about.  Jordan only wanted to get rid of this problem.  To let the authorities take over even though he felt a little responsible as well as sorry for her.  She seemed so innocent...yet so scared when he even mentioned calling the police.
    “See if you can bring
