Chapter 3
At the concert venue, the other 4 sensed Justin’s troubled mind. They’d been together for so long that they noticed little things like that. After the concert they finally spoke up.
“ Justin, what’s up?” Chris asked, “ We can practically hear your thoughts, you’re thinking so loud.”
Justin’s panicked face brought a
short laugh before Justin realized it was a joke.
“ If I changed and *N Sync couldn’t
go on, would you guys still be there for me?” Justin asked, choosing his words
carefully.
“ Hey, we’ll be here for you no
matter what. We all promised that to
each other,” JC answered, “ Care to tell us what’s bothering you?”
Justin brought his eyes up to meet
their worried ones.
“ Sorry guys, its totally
confidential,” Justin replied.
“ Wow, when did we ever get that
chick on our crew?” Joey asked with a low whistle.
Skye walked by, giving Justin a
knowing glance.
“ Excuse me, but are you lost?” Joey
asked.
“ No, I found who I was looking
for. Justin, I’m Skye Robinson. I have an interview with your now,” Skye
answered, extending a hand like she was on a business mission, “ This is
Hailey, my assistant.”
Skye closed the door behind her and
locked it.
“ Have you made you decision?” Skye
asked.
“ Yeah. I’ll be turned, since I’m no good to anyone dead,” Justin
answered.
“ I want you to relax, Justin. Hailey assures me it doesn’t hurt a bit,”
Skye massaged his tense shoulders as Hailey moved in.
A slight sharpness and pressure was
all Justin felt on his neck, then he felt a warm drink placed at his lips.
“ Now sleep,” Skye’s hands fell over
his eyes and under her command he slept dreamlessly.
The other 4 waited outside patiently
for Justin. The reporter and assistant
finally came out of the room.
“ Mr. Timberlake fell asleep, the
poor thing,” Skye said, “ Tell him I’ll be in touch soon.”
“ Why does Justin always get the hot
chicks?” Joey grumbled as a bodyguard picked Justin up effortlessly like he was
a mere child.
“ Stop your whining and come on,”
Lance rolled his light green eyes.
The 4
walked out to the waiting limo.
