have heard her speak or the thud of her vacuum falling over. She stood blinking as the smell of sex and pot wafted over her. A frizzy-haired girl in a red silk kimono lifted her head, blearily glanced at her with perfect almond eyes, and then went back to nuzzling someone on the ground. Nearest Ruby, two boys, both beautiful, with faces that were the mirror image of each other, snaked their limbs together, dragging their lips across each other’s mouths.
    What is this, some sort of teen supermodel orgy?
    A laugh from behind made her jump. She turned to see more teenagers sauntering up the corridor, each more striking than the last. Two guys, their shirtless torsos cut and toned as if they’d stepped out of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue, regarded her with bright-eyed interest. “Hi there,” said one with blue-black curls tumbling over his forehead and an accent that sounded Mediterranean. “You’re pretty.”
    â€œOooh, she sure is!” said a girl with Asian features and a swirling dragon tattooed on her neck. She licked her lips.
    The three of them closed in on Ruby, backing her into the shadowy room.
    â€œEr, I’ll just…get back to work…” Ruby’s throat closed over her protest.
    All of them had impossibly perfect bodies. Maybe they were students from of one of those exclusive prep schools where everyone was rich, gorgeous, and spoiled. Perhaps the adults who owned this place—wherever they were—had so much money they didn’t care if their kids had a party and trashed the place.
    â€œMmm, who is this?” said a girl with ebony skin and topaz eyes. She languidly raised her head from a cushion. “What’s your name, pretty girl?”
    â€œWanna come play with us?” said another girl with white-blonde hair and luminous pale skin. She was twined around the dark girl, who stroked her long hair. The blonde gazed at Ruby with her lips half-parted.
    â€œWhat are you doing here?” one of the boys asked. Ruby turned to him, then quickly looked away as she realized he was wearing nothing but super-skimpy briefs.
    â€œI’m working,” she answered stiffly.
    â€œWorking?” The boy’s forehead wrinkled. The others looked confused as well.
    Seriously? Seriously .
    â€œYeah. I’m the cleaning lady,” Ruby said, trying to keep her anger in check as they circled her. “And I’d like to get back to work since, you know, there’s a lot to do.”
    â€œYou’re way too pretty to work,” the blonde girl purred. “Come with us, we’ll give you something much better to do.”
    The dark-skinned girl reached out and stroked Ruby’s arm. She snatched it away, but the blonde was tugging at the hem of Ruby’s work shirt. She was wearing a turquoise lace teddie and murmured that she had another which would suit Ruby perfectly.
    â€œNo, really!” Ruby shrank back from their grasping hands. “I have to go. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have interrupted…”
    But the more she protested, the more they laughed at her. With a sense of rising panic, she heard a voice from among the couples on the floor say, “Need some X to calm her down? There should be a few pills left on the bar…”
    Reaching hands pulled her into the room, and Ruby’s panic shifted into fear. “Get off me!” She shoved at the blonde who’d been yanking at her shirt. The girl laughed and thrust her back into the arms of the black-haired boy.
    â€œAmleth, to me!” squealed the pretty Asian girl, and the boy gave Ruby a vicious push into her arms. She ran a palm over Ruby’s hip.
    Ruby didn’t even stop to think. She drove her elbow into the girl’s stomach so hard that the girl stumbled back, tripped on a pillow and fell.
    Cruel grins split the teens’ faces, and they burst out laughing at the girl sprawled on the floor. Ruby wasn’t sticking around to see
