Jerry Sanger is a member of M.A.L.E., an elite agency made up of ex-Army buddies bored with civilian life.

Jerry helps Guff out and then demands to know what’s going on, in between flirting and striking a pose in his spandex dress.<br><br>Guff doesn’t want his help, but Jerry gives it anyway, determined to solve Guff’s problem.

Junk M.A.L.E.

By the time I’d finished my research, it was nighttime, I was hungry, and my head was throbbing. Guff still hadn’t contacted me, and I needed to confront the man and make him see reason.


I banged on Guff’s door for five minutes straight—no answer. I’d sent the man texts, tried calling him a few times, but still…nothing. Either he was being obstinate, or something bad had happened. Hell, he might have even left town by now, which would make the most sense.


I stood there for a moment, trying to decide whether I would be forgiven for breaking and entering. I had a good reason, didn’t I? Potential fuck buddy with wicked older sister who was trying to kill him, and had just been attacked two nights before by four men. Good enough for me.
