Something has to give, and quickly. Before Jason loses his mind over his job and friend, he desperately needs to get away.<br><br>When Dillon has an opportunity to fly south for a vacation in Florida for eleven days, Jason’s on board.

Rugged Mann

Brise is currently living with a guy by the name of Steven “Steel” Franklin. It’s fresh. Just two weeks’ old. Brise isn’t in love with the guy and uses him for sex. They make sex videos together and upload them on the internet. Jason knows the relationship isn’t going to work out; Brise hints at this. This is what the two have been talking about during Brise’s recent sessions. Sex tapes. Lust. Boyfriendhood. And arson.


Jason takes a sip of his coffee. Another hour. Another patient. Another step closer to retirement. He needs a vacation. Somewhere in Florida. Sanibel Island. Pine Island. Casey Key. Key West. Clearwater. Somewhere hot and sticky with Dillon. Far away from Redder, Pennsylvania and the gloomy Lake Erie. A place where they can sport their too-tight swim trunks and play in the Gulf like boys. Just a week. Seven days. Solace away from their jobs.


Time to fetch Brise from the waiting room. Time to work. Get this over with.
