"Hey, wake up."

Sam kept his eyes closed, half-asleep, mostly annoyed. "No."

"Come on man. It's 6:30 in the morning! Daylight is burning!"

6:30?! What the hell is wrong with him?

Sam shifted himself up on the bed and sat up, leaning his back against the bedframe. He looked up and saw Paul, his longtime friend, leaning over the bed, excited. Sam and Paul was on a vacation with their friends for a reunion.

"What is it?" Sam asked, groggily. "It's 6:30 in the morning…"

"That's exactly the point!" Paul said, grinning widely. "We still gotta visit the Golden Gate Bridge after breakfast! Traffic is going to skyrocket around 10:00 so we should hurry!"

Rubbing his eyes, Sam sighed. "Who else is awake?"

"Just you and me."

Sam stared at Paul blankly. "Wake me up again after you wake everyone else up."

"Come on man, we are on a vacation. We have to enjoy it!" said Paul.

Why does he always have to wake up people while they are in deep sleep?

"Ok, I will get up after 5 more minutes," Sam told Paul.

"Fine, but only 5 minutes, ok?" said Paul.

Whatever….

Sam fell right back asleep, and after 5 minutes of sleeping….

"Hey, wake up! 5 minutes past, everyone else is awake now," said Paul.

"Ok, ok. I'm getting up!" said Sam loudly, annoyed.

"Oh~, look who is annoyed," said Peter.

"Stop taunting him, Peter," said Eddie, as he patted Peter's back.

"Everyone let's stop talking and get ready so that we could go visit the Golden Gate Bridge after breakfast," said Paul.

"Ok, ok we get it already. You were telling us this ever since you woke all of us up," said Kenny, annoyed due to sleeping late last night. Everyone was getting ready for the trip when Paul realized.

"Where is Daniel? I thought I work everyone up, but I haven't seen Daniel getting ready."

"He's probably somewhere in the house still sleeping," said Philip.

"This little brat, always making people go and wake him up for the morning," said Paul. Paul went around the house looking for Daniel. He searched everywhere expect the balcony, which was not the place for anyone to fall asleep in. Just to make sure, Paul started his way out to the balcony to search for Daniel. When he looked out on the balcony, Daniel was there on the ground fast asleep with a pack of marijuana besides him. "Oh Lord, we gotta clean up this mess before anyone finds out," said Paul. "Daniel get up right now! Why do you always have to fuckin' make a mess for us to clean up?"

"Huh? What is going on here? I'm trying to sleep right now," moaned Daniel as he got up from the ground and wiped off the saliva from his face.

"Dude, we are on a vacation and here you are sleeping on the balcony after taking marijuana. Are you out of your mind?" questioned Paul.

"I'm sorry, but you know me. I can't have a good night sleep without them. I can't stop taking them!" said Daniel. "Having a vacation means doing the things I always do without anyone distracting or bothering me."

"Whatever man, hurry up and clean up all your mess before someone finds out about this. If you don't hurry up and get ready after that then we are going to leave you behind and go to the Golden Gate Bridge," said Paul.

"Man why does it have to be today? Why can't we just stay here and just rest? I thought that was what vacation was for," complained Daniel as he got up from the ground.

"Stop complaining and hurry up and get ready, or I am really gonna leave you here," said Paul, now annoyed from all the complaints that came from Daniel.

"Sigh, ok. I will get rid of all this mess and get ready," said Daniel as he cleaned up all the pack of marijuana that was on the ground. "Oh, so where are we going to?"

"Are you freakin' serious right now? I thought I told ya that we are going to visit the Golden Gate Bridge! Are you still high from smoking that trash marijuana?"

"Don't talk bad about Lady Mary Jane!" Daniel blabbered incoherently. "She… she is beautiful."

Peter peeked from behind Paul's back, looking at Daniel and his weed on the floor with interest.

"Can I… Can I have some?" Peter asked.

Paul glared at Peter. "You know what the doctors said Pete. You nearly died the last time when you blew about seven pounds of the 'Good Stuff' several months ago."

Peter sighed. "Don't remind me… I still get the chills when you mention that day to me… how I was rolled into the ER like that…" He looked at Paul. "Scared you shitless, didn't I?"

"You scared all of us shitless." Daniel said, struggling to still stand on his two feet. "Hell, even I stopped doing weed… for about two minutes…"

"That's just you." Paul said. "Anyway, Daniel, go get washed up. You smell like weed… I mean REALLY bad."

Daniel sniffed his sleeve. "It's not that bad…"

"YES IT'S BAD." The voices from inside the room cried out. "GO TAKE A SHOWER HIPPIE."

"And take it fast." Paul added. "We don't wanna wait any longer."

Paul closed the door behind him and sat down on the leather couch, straightening out his socks. He leaned back against the soft cushion of the couch, listening to ticking of the clock. Sam came into the room and leaned against the doorway.

"Say…" Sam began to say. "Did you hear any news from the girls? I didn't see 'em this morning."

"Nope, I heard nothing from them yet. I will make sure to message them to meet us by the Golden Gate Bridge," answered Paul.

"Alright, just make sure to bring some food for Faith. She will get mad if we don't bring any for her," Sam joked.

"Haha, got it."

"Hey guys! Can someone get me a towel from the drawer? I didn't know there were no towels in the bathroom!" yelled Daniel from the bathroom door.

"Andrew! Can you get some towel for Daniel? He has none in the bathroom," said Paul to the room next to him.

"Sigh, I got it," said Andrew as he came out of the room and walked towards the drawer for the towels. He took 2 towels out and threw it to the bathroom door. Hearing the towels slam against the door, Daniel's hand came out of the door and took the towel from the floor. Few minutes later, Daniel came out of the bathroom wearing only his checkered boxers and a towel over his shoulders.

"Now I feel refreshed. Guys let me put my cloths on let's head out for the bridge," said Daniel. He then went into his room and came out few minutes later, all ready to go.

"Ok guys, if everyone is ready, let's head on out," Paul said to group. Everyone grabbed their stuff and went out the door. After few minutes of driving to the bridge, Sam got a call from the girls.

"Hello?" said Faith through the phone.

"Hello. Hey Faith this is Sam. Where are you guys at? We are on our way to the bridge right now. We'll get there soon," answered Sam to the phone.

"Ok, we're also on our way there. Did you being extra food for me?" asked Faith.

"Hey Paul, did you pack those extra food for Faith?" asked Sam.

"Yeah, they should be in the truck," answered Paul from the driver's seat.

Sam grabbed the phone and said, "Yeah we got some extra food for ya."

"Yes! Thank you. We'll see you at the bridge then," said Faith as she hung up.

The ride to the bridge after the call was quiet. The girls arrived at the bridge 5 minutes later they arrived.

"Mornin' guys! Ready to start our vacation?" asked Paul.

"Yeah, I guess," said Joanne, "but I am kinda tired because of the late night sleep yesterday. Haha."

"Anyways, it's good to have all of us together again. How long has it been since we had a reunion? 2, 3 years?" said Sam.

"Yeah, it's good to see all of your faces," said Faith.

"Anyways, let's talk about our lives later or as we walk," said Peter, "we have to take some pictures and stuff..."

Bang!

"What the hell was that just now?" asked Daniel.

"I'm not sure, but that sounded like a gunshot," said Sam.

"Yeah, I agree with Sam. It was definitely a gunshot that we just heard," said Paul as he looked at the direction the sound came from.

"Guys, I think we should go over there and see what is going on," said Peter.

"Yeah, let's go and check," said Philip and Andrew.

The group started to walk over to where they heard the gun go off. When they came close to the site, they saw police cars surrounding the area and a body being dragged out of the area by a police. The body did not seem like it was a body killed a few minutes ago. It had wounds and dried blood all over the body and the skin was rotten and it was starting to fall apart.

"Dang. What happened here? What is with that body that they just dragged out? By the looks of it, it seems like the person was dead for close to 2 weeks. Also, that gunshot…." said Sam.

"Hey, hey! What are you kids doing around here? There is nothing to see here so go on your ways," said one of the officers who was passing by the group.

"You sure there is nothing wrong here? I don't like the sight of that body one of the officers dragged out," said Daniel.

"Daniel! Don't be rude. We're sorry officer. We'll move on right away," said Sam, pushing Daniel to the side.

Something is not really right. I have to agree with Daniel, that body is suspicous. Why would a body was seems like it was dead for like 2 weeks here. Also the gunshot….

The group started walking away from the site, some still with curiosity from the gunshot and the body. After few minutes later,

"Do you guys really that there is nothing wrong? I just can't get that picture of that body out of my mind," said Peter.

"I'm probably sure nothing big will happen. I mean, the officer did say it was nothing," said Eddie.

"Guys, I think we should just head back to the house and call it a day. With the gunshot and stuff happening, I think it will be more safe inside," said Kenny, who haven't been talking since they got off the car.

"Yeah, let's call it a day. I mean, we still have like 2 weeks of vacation left here," said Sam. The girls nodded and agreed to call it a day.

"Well, I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow," said Daniel, as they separated from the girls.

"Yeah. See ya guys tomorrow," said the girls.

The group arrived at the house few minutes later, and everyone got ready to go to sleep.

"Man, today sucks. All the plans we made were ruined!" said Paul as he went into his room.

"Yeah, but I mean what can we do? Weird things were happening," said Eddie.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Everyone got into their beds to go to sleep. The lights were turned off and some of them fell alseep right away.

I am still kinda worried about that body and the gunshot… Man, let's us sleep it off. I need to wake up early tomorrow since I know that Paul is going to wake me up early again.
