The Institute: Snare of the Elite.

One The sound of Kevin’s phone ringing brought him back into reality. He sat upright and looked at the screen lazily, internally despising whoever was on the other side. He mouthed the word “L” and his countenance changed to a serious one. What could he want now? He sighed and picked up the phone. “L, it’s been a while. What goes on?” “Good day, Six. I have a new target for you, pending your approval.” “You know, we’re past the formal stage, L. You can call me by my given name now.” “Not while we’re discussing affairs of the Institute. When should we expect you at the grounds?” Kevin glanced at the digital lock beside his bed. 4:39 pm “I should be there in an hour max.” “Alright, Six. Everyone else would be waiting.” He dropped the phone on his bed when he heard the tone signaling a discontinuation of the call and got up to stretch. It’s going to be a hectic couple of months from here. ****** Kevin Bells left his dorm room with a beaming smile on his face. It was his final day, and in less than eight hours he would finally be done with college. “Let’s get this over with,” someone said from just behind him. Kevin turned around to see the smiling figure of Jason Fleece reaching out for a hug. He obliged and patted his back after what felt like forever. “Hey, bro. What goes on?” Jason smiled. “Oh nothing, just been crushing it lately you know.” Kevin smiled in return. “I don’t think I know what comes next.” “You mean after we’re done here?” “Yeah. What do college graduates do? All the success stories I read come from college dropouts.” “Well, I don’t know about you or anyone else, but I’m going to take a little break. Maybe a year or two, wind down from all the bullshit they made us go through in this school, and maybe I’ll think about what comes next.” Kevin didn’t seem convinced by the whole idea. “I don’t think I’ll have that much time to wind down.” He emphasized his point by dropping air quotes when he said wind down. Jason was undeterred. “Trust me, you’d love it. You have no idea what a few hundred parties would do to your overworked body.” “Kill it?” Jason kept going. “Alright, maybe a few hundred parties is a bit too much for you. But surely you can handle one night?” “I don’t know. Can I?” “Trust me, you can. One night of s*x, alcohol, and drugs, no-holds-barred style. I have an invite to one of the most exclusive lawless parties in the whole country.” Kevin looked unimpressed. “I am not going to travel to Malibu or some other place hunting your ultimate orgasm, Jason.” “We’re not traveling anywhere. It’s happening right here, in Cali.” “Sure?” “Trust me, Kev. You’re going to love it.” The rest of that day was uneventful. They attended their final classes, cleared out their lockers, and went to the hall for the passing out ceremony. At the end of everything, Kevin heaved a massive sigh of relief. This was the start of the best years of his life. Or so he thought. The next few days were as uneventful as the final one at school. Jason said the rave wasn’t until Friday, so he had a full week to get mentally prepared for what was to come. He got some clothes from Ideas for Men, a new fragrance, and a pair of sneakers, and by Friday evening, he was ready to take on anything that presented itself. He got undressed and stepped in the shower, gasping for a split second as the cold water made contact with his body. He took a minute to stare at the massive mirror in front of his shower and sighed at his appearance. Kevin was a tall glass of hot chocolate, as one of his previous partners described him. Standing at six feet and 7 inches long (those are two different measurements), he was easily noticeable, and hard to take your eyes off of. He had curly hair and a nose that blended in perfectly with the rest of his face, deep blue eyes that you could easily get lost in, and a beautiful physique. Simply put, Kevin Bells was drop-dead handsome. With the final vain thought passing through his head, he turned off the shower and stepped out of the bath. He dried himself in front of the mirror, staring long and hard at his member, as if mentally preparing it for the task ahead, then stepped into the wardrobe to get the outfit he had gotten for the occasion. He put on some slim-fit jeans with a white tee shirt, put on some Jordan sneakers then a denim jacket, then put on a bracelet and his fragrance and left the house, waiting for Jason to pick up the phone. “Hey dude. Where you at?” Kevin sounded impatient. “I don’t know, on my way to the party you did everything to convince me to attend?” “Oh yeah, that. I’ll send you the address, man. I might not be there till later tonight.” His impatient tone changed to a confused one. “Why? Is something wrong? Did anything happen?” “Nothing did, don’t worry too much. I just need to sort something out at home first, and I don’t want to bother you with anything. Just get to the party, okay?” “Okay, okay. I.. I will. Is there.. Are you sure you don’t need me to come around?” “No, you moron. Go out there and have a life.” Jason answered with a chuckle. “Just this once.” “And one more thing. The password for getting in is RavenForever. It’s the raven that’s a type of a bird by the way, capital R and F, and both words are joined together. Now go have fun.” Before Kevin could voice his concerns, he heard the disconnected beep. He sighed, willed himself to remember every single detail, and headed towards the address he was texted.
