Sleepless In Vegas
Chapter 1 : The Beginning
Hunter and Ric Flair stopped by a small restaurant on the avenue and went in there. They looked for a waitress for at least five minutes until a young lady came up to them. This woman's name was Torrie Anne Wilson. She was a waitress in Neon Lights restaurant. She has been working there since she was a teenager. She works with her best friend Maria.
You see, Torrie had a life back in Boise, Idaho. She came here one day when her mother died. She wanted to start a new life because the one she had in Boise, Idaho was full of struggles and hardships. One of her brothers was killed by a murderer when he was small. It was a Tuesday night and Torrie and her brother were walking through in the mall. They wanted to buy something for their mother for Mother's day. It turned out the worst present that their mother can get. Torrie came home and told her mother that her brother was found dead.
The mall they went to was Idaho's main mall. That Tuesday night was a nightmare for everyone who visited the mall. A madman came in the mall with two guns and shot anyone who was in his way. Torrie, who had been told by the security of the mall, was told to hide in the dressing rooms in any of the stores. Torrie hid in the dressing room and luckilly wasn't found by the man. The man escaped the mall and left in a black Mercedes sports car. Some assistants in the mall came to the dressing room and found Torrie hiding in there. They told Torrie that the man is gone. Torrie, eighteen at the time, left the dressing room full of shivers. They escorted her out of the mall but she complained that her brother wasn't with her. There were only fifteen survivors in the mall and her brother wasn't one of them.
Torrie came home with the policemen that night. Torrie's mom was getting worried but then she heard the doorbell. She opened the door quickly and hugged Torrie for dear life. She told Torrie that she had just watched the news and there was a killer in the mall. Torrie's mom then asked where her brother was. Torrie looked down and said that he was dead.
Exactly one week later Torrie's mother died from a heart attack. Torrie's mother had a heart attack a few years ago and survived it but this time she was dead. Torrie was having a few problems in her life and wanted to leave Idaho because her father was never home and was always out in bars. Torrie was talking to her other brother one day and told him that she really wanted to leave and start a new life. They had a conversation but it turned out to be a sad one. Torrie ended up crying and screaming at her dad when he came home that night. Torrie got up and ran towards the door but then her father grabbed her by the arm and started screaming in her ear. Torrie fell in horror and laid in the corner sobbing. When they slept that night, Torrie wrote a note and left it on the coffee table. She grabbed her coat and walked out the door with her belongings. The next morning her father woke up and saw the note on the table. He read it and then threw it on the floor. Torrie's brother came running down the stairs and asked," What happened?" Al Wilson said," Torrie left."
Back to present time. . . Las Vegas
" A table of two," Hunter said to the waitress, Torrie Wilson. Torrie led them to a table near the window and set two menus on the table. " I'll be back to take your orders," Torrie said and walked back to the end of the restaurant to take someone else's order.
" Doesn't she look familiar?" Hunter asked.
Ric Flair looked up at him and said," Nope."
Hunter tapped his fingers on the table and then said," I saw her somewhere. I remember. Well, you didn't see her somewhere because you were old then."
" I have no idea what you are talking about," Ric Flair said," you must be dreaming."
Torrie came back to their table with a paper and a pen in her hand, ready to take their order.
" Hi, are you two ready to take your order?" Torrie asked.
" Um, yes," Ric Flair said," I'll have a cheeseburger deluxe with frenchfries and a coke on the side."
" Okay," Torrie said while writing that down," how about you?''
" I'll have an order of fried shrimp and french fries," Hunter said.
" What drink?" Torrie asked.
" Sprite," Hunter said.
" Okay, I'll be back as soon as the food is done," Torrie said and left.
Ric Flair stared at Hunter and then said," I see your plan. Since I said that I am paying for the food you decide to have an order of shrimp to make me broke."
" Please," Hunter said," the last time I payed, you ordered two orders of lobster."
" I was hungry," Ric Flair said.
" But two orders?" Hunter complained.
" Okay, forget about it," Ric Flair said.
Somewhere else. . .
John Cena was playing Grand Theft Auto Four on his Playstation 3. The phone rang and he looked over to the ID. It said " Orton. " He rolled his eyes, paused the game, and then picked up the phone.
" What do you want Randy? I am on a mission!" John complained.
" A mission on Grand Theft Auto? Get your fat ass off the couch and come over to my house quickly," Randy said.
" What happened?" John asked.
" We have a case on this guy named Santino," Randy said.
" Sounds like a mobster," John said.
" Well, here's the case. Santino has a girlfriend named Maria and he is planning to do something bad to her. Our boss, Hunter, said that we will be paid extra if we get the guy and shoot him," Randy said.
" Sounds a little risky," John said.
" Risks are for us my friend. Now we need to find him," Santino said.
" How do you know that he is planning to do something bad to his girlfriend?" John asked.
" Chris Jericho found out on his profile," Randy said.
" Okay, so where is he?" John asked.
" He is said to be in the casino tonight at 6:30 so be ready at 6:00. I'll be by your building by then," Randy said.
" Sure," John said and hung up the phone.
John then looked at his t.v. It said 5:30. He saved his game and shut it off. He then went in the shower and then changed into black shorts and a green Boston Celtics jersey.
Meanwhile . . .
Torrie came back to their table and placed their food on the table. Torrie began to walk away but then Hunter stopped her. Torrie looked back.
" Sorry to bother you but... do you remember the terror at the mall in Boise, Idaho? It was several years ago," Hunter said.
" Yes, I do," Torrie said.
" I knew it! I remember seeing your face then but you were little. Now you have grown and you look like a true beauty," Hunter said.
" Thank you," Torrie said," you have grown too."
" You remember me?" Hunter asked.
" No, not really," Torrie said.
Ric Flair then laughed inside from the answer Torrie gave to Hunter.
" Well, I remember you. You were hiding in the dressing room but I was hiding in the men's bathroom. But later the police sent three people at a time home and I saw you in the police car," Hunter said," are you sure you don't remember me?''
" All I remember was seeing by dead brother lying on the ground," Torrie said," after that, it seemed like it was a nightmare."
" Oh," Hunter said," I'm sorry to hear that."
" It's okay," Torrie said," it has been eight years since that happened."
" Wait, that mall shooting was back in Idaho. What are you doing here in Las Vegas?" Hunter asked.
Torrie knew it was going to be a long talk with Hunter so she sat down on a seat by the table.
" Well, you see, it's kind of a long story but I'll try to shorten it up. One week after the mall shooting my mother died from a heart attack. Ever since my mother died my dad starting to go out late at night and drink in bars. He was starting to act weirder. So then I left Idaho by myself when I was thirteen and traveled to Las Vegas. I wanted to start a new life there since everyone said that Las Vegas is the place. So, I started working here when I was eighteen and I still work now. After all they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."
" So you have been working here since you were eighteen?" Hunter asked.
" Yeah," Torrie said," I told them about the death of my brother and then my mom and then the problems with my dad so they kind of felt bad for me that they let me stay here and work."
" Where do you sleep?" Hunter asked.
" Whatever I make out of my paycheck here goes for an apartment two blocks away. I barely have any money to buy new clothes and stuff. The money all goes to my apartment," Torrie said.
" Then how do you buy food?" Hunter asked.
" Oh, that's easy. Since I work in this restaurant, they let me eat their food here," Torrie said.
Hunter then laughed and said," I have been talking to you for a few minutes and I haven't got your name..."
Torrie laughed and said,'' Torrie Anne Wilson. Torrie for short."
Then Torrie realized it was getting late. " My job here is over. Here's your check and have a nice day," Torrie said.
Torrie walked to her boss and got her paycheck for the week. Torrie flashed a smile at her boss and then left the restaurant with a paycheck only enough to pay for her home.
Ric Flair got up, along with Hunter and walked over to the cashier. " Poor girl," Ric Flair said," she really seems nice and look what she gets in life."
Hunter nodded and then left the restaurant after paying the check.
" I told you that I remember her," Hunter said.
" Well, I'm sorry! Gosh..."
" She said her last name was Wilson," Hunter said," you remember the last case we did with Wilson? "
" You mean Al Wilson?" Ric Flair said.
" Yeah, do you actually think that he can be Torrie's father? It is so possible."
" I searched his name in the internet. I don't think that can be him. He looks nothing like her. She's beautiful and he's ugly," Ric Flair said.
" When did you search him up?" Hunter asked.
" Just two weeks ago. There was a case on him that he was suspected of raping a woman or something like that. I forget the case," Ric Flair said.
" Well, forget about Al. We need to get back to John's apartment. I heard that he and Randy have a case on this man and his girlfriend," Hunter said.
" Okay," Ric Flair said while hopping into his BMW," let's go to Cena's house."
Meanwhile. . .
John Cena threw a black, leather jacket over his jersey and walked out of his apartment. He locked the door and then threw the keys back in his pocket. He walked down the hall and pressed the elevator button.
The elevator soon arrived and John walked in. A brunette lady was waiting in the corner of the elevator. Soon enough, she pressed the button to go to the lobby.
During the elevator flight, the lady kept on staring at John one time or another. When the elevator stopped at lobby, the lady pushed through John's way and headed outside the building. A letter flew out of her purse. John ran to get the letter and called out," Miss!" but the lady left the building already. John looked down at the letter and opened it. In there was written a hotel room number. John shoved it into his pocket. He looked out the glass window and saw Randy waiting outside. John decided to forget about giving the letter back to the lady and just walked outside.
" John, you retard, what took you so long?" Randy complained.
" What do you mean what took me so long? You said to be down here by 6:00," John said.
" It's 6:05," Randy said.
" Wow," John said sarcastically.
" Yeah, how about if there is traffic going to the casino?" Randy asked," what are we going to do then?"
" Just sit back, relax, and listen to some music," John said.
With that said, Randy just rested his head back and listened to the music playing in the car.
Later on. . .
Torrie Wilson walked down the street towards the casino but then stopped when her friend Maria ran towards her.
" Hi Torrie," Maria called out.
" Maria," Torrie said," why weren't you at the restaurant today?"
" I couldn't make it to work," Maria said.
" I asked why," Torrie said.
" Long story," Maria said," but anyway, where are you going now?"
" To the casino," Torrie said," and no I'm no wasting money to gamble there. I'm supposed to meet my friend, Trish, there."
" Oh, that's funny cause I'm going to the casino too. Santino is supposed to meet me there. By the way, who's Trish?" Maria asked.
" An old friend of mine from Idaho but now she moved to Toronto. She just wanted to visit here, Las Vegas, for a little vacation," Torrie said.
" Oh, so it must be nice to see her again after such a long time," Maria said.
" Yeah," Torrie said," I want to ask her a few things too."
" Oh," Maria said," personal things?"
" Just things between her and her ex boyfriend," Torrie said.
" Oh, who's her ex boyfriend?" Maria asked.
" This guy named Chris Jericho," Torrie said," I never saw him or anything. She just always used to tell me about him over the phone."
" Why did they split?" Maria asked.
" Long story," Torrie said," he was part of a gang and then some other things happened."
" Oh..."
" Anyway," Torrie said, trying to break the conversation," I'm going to be heading to see her. Bye Maria!"
" Yeah, and I need to be seeing Santino," Maria said.
With their farewells for the day, they left their seperate ways in the casino.
Torrie Wilson saw Trish sitting down in a chair, watching others play pool. Torrie walked over to Trish and said," Trish."
Trish looked over to Torrie and flashed a bright smile. " Torrie! Long time no see," Trish said.
Trish then hugged Torrie and pulled away from her. " Where have you been all these years, Tor?" Trish asked.
" Most of the time here," Torrie said," you?"
" I just came here last night," Trish said.
" So how long are you staying here for?" Torrie asked.
" For maybe two or three months. I rented an apartment here for that long," Trish said.
" Cool," Torrie said.
Torrie and Trish continued talking while Maria saw Santino and walked over to him. " Santino!" Maria said and hugged him.
" Hi Maria," Santino said," what are you doing here?"
" I came here to check up on you," Maria said.
Suddenly a blonde worker in the casino came to Santino and massaged his shoulders. She whispered something in his ear and then walked back very slowly to the front of the casino.
" Who's that?" Maria said.
" Maria!" Santino said," it's Las Vegas! What do you expect? There's women everywhere!"
" Yeah and I'm certainly not going to be one of them," Maria said and walked away.
" Maria!" Santino called out in an Italian accent.
Suddenly John and Randy walked in the casino from the back door and saw Santino from thirty feet away. " That's him," Randy said.
" Okay, we can't get him in front of all these people," John said.
" Right," Randy said and began walking until Chris Jericho tugged him from behind.
" Where do you think you're going? Chris Jericho asked," Hunter gave me this job and I'm getting paid for it. Now if you two would just move out of my way I'll be able to get this Santino freak."
" Uh, you mean that Hunter gave this mission for us to take care of," John said.
" Oh, so it takes two people to get one person?" Chris Jericho asked and then laughed in a sarcastic manner.
John and Randy just stared at him while he was laughing.
" We're taking care of it so move out of our way," John said, while pushing Jericho to the other side.
Trish turned over to her left and saw Chris Jericho. " That's him," Trish said.
" Who?" Torrie asked and turned over to her left.
" My ex," Trish said.
Torrie suddenly stared at a man. Not Chris Jericho but someone else. Someone who goes by the name of John Cena.
" Who are you staring at?" Trish asked.
" No, that man... He looks familiar," Torrie said.
Suddenly Trish knew who Torrie was talking about.
" And amazingly cute," Trish added.
" No, I'm serious Trish. I remember him from somewhere... Those dimples, those blue eyes..."
" Torrie, did you drink?" Trish asked.
" No, Trish! I'm serious," Torrie said.
" Let's go Torrie. You can come over my apartment if you wish," Trish said and grabbed Torrie by the hand. Torrie and Trish exited the casino. While Torrie was exiting, John looked back for one second and then turned forward.
" What happened?" Randy asked.
" Oh, nothing," John said.
" Listen," Chris Jericho said," sorry okay? We can just get him as a team."
" Oh, so it takes three people to get one person, huh?" John asked.
Randy laughed as they all exited the casino after Santino.
" He looks mad," Jericho said.
" Don't lose him. Follow him home," John said.
Santino walked into his car and then backed up from his parking space. Chris Jericho did the same. Santino was soon driving and Jericho was following him. Jericho looked back at the back seats and told Randy," I just got this car cleaned. Don't dirty it."
" I'm not," Randy said.
" Where the hell are you going?" John asked.
" What do you mean where the hell am I going? I'm following Santino!"
" Uh, he turned at the light a while ago and now you are entering a bridge which is connecting to a highway to go a hundred miles away from Las Vegas," John Cena said.
" I told you to just kill him at the casino!" Randy said," it would've been so much easier."
" Keep quiet," Chris said," now I have to try to find my way out of this bridge."
" Don't worry, I'll take care of this," Randy said. Randy took out his cell phone and dialed Hunter's number.
" Hunter? Yeah it's me, Randy. John and I just wanted you to know that blondie failed on getting Santino but don't worry! John and I will get him for you. No need for the money till the end of the week," Randy said and then hung up the phone.
" Who's blondie?" Jericho asked.
" You," John said and bursted out laughing.
" What?! I thought we were in a team to get Santino and I thought we were going to split the money into one third," Jericho said.
" Uh, what's the point when Randy and I can get one half of the money? If you come in our way we will just get less money for the mission," John said.
" You little mother f..."
Suddenly John reached out to the car horn and pressed down the horn.
" Don't touch that!" Jericho screamed," I can't believe you would do this to me and now we're all getting lost somewhere I don't even know."
" Yo, listen! We would've never been here if you just never came to the casino in the first place," John said.
" We would've never been lost if you weren't born as a matter of fact!" Randy told Chris.
" Shut the hell up," Chris said," I have more things on my mind instead of this stupid mission."
" Me too," John said, thinking about the blonde girl he saw in the casino, Torrie Wilson.
Chris Jericho was driving until a man jumped into the middle of the highway, waving his hands in the air. Chris Jericho held on to the brakes with sweat building up between his toes and hand palms.
" You fucking moron! What are you doing in the middle of the street?" Chris Jericho screamed out the window.
The man walked near Chris Jericho's window and stared inside. He then asked," Do you happen to know Candice Michelle?"
" Who?" Chris Jericho asked," I have no time for this!"
Chris Jericho started the car and drove off. Only then, the man called out," Don't ever trust her, I tell you! Don't ever trust her!"
Randy looked at the back window and said," He looks like a hillbilly."
" Don't you think that was a little weird?" John asked.
" Who cares about that man. I know who he is and I don't want to deal with his problems that his father has cost him," Chris Jericho said while still driving the car.
" Looks like another long story. Do you mind sharing it since this ride is going to be a while?" John asked.
Chris Jericho breathed in and then out and began to speak.
End of Chapter
Hi everyone ! I'm back with a new story and I hope you like it! But I'm having trouble deciding if I should continue or not and I want the truth! Anyway, it starts off as what happened a long time ago when Torrie was eighteen. Her brother died in a mall shooting. A week later her mother died from a heart attack and Torrie leaves off to Vegas to start a new life because of her father. Torrie supposedly works in a restaurant in Vegas to earn only enough money to stay in an apartment in Vegas. Then the story starts from there. So far John, Randy, and Chris Jericho all work in a gang for Hunter. They recieve money if they complete a mission. John and Randy despise Chris Jericho and don't want him to do any missions for Hunter. In this chapter, they are doing a mission involving to kill Santino, Maria's boyfriend. Maria is Torrie's friend ever since she came to work in the restaurant at Las Vegas. Maria has no clue of the plan that John, Randy, and Chris are planning to kill Santino. Trish, Torrie's original friend back from Idaho, meets Torrie once again in a casino. Torrie meets eyes with John and somehow recognizes him from somewhere. When Torrie and Trish leave the casino, John meets eyes with Torrie and recognizes her. Very suspicious. And ever wondered the whole situation with the brunette lady in the elevator was about? And the situation with the guy in the middle of the street? You'll see later on. Ladies and Gentlemen, I think this story is going to be more confusing than Guns and Roses lol
