Sleepless In Vegas

Chapter 2:

" You see, that man was the son of this huge business man. He was in the top of everything. He owns six casinos here in Vegas and eight bars," Chris Jericho said.

" What's his name?'' John asked.

" His name is Vince and his son's name is Shane. The guy that we just saw in the street was Shane," Chris said.

" Wait, isn't he rich? Why would he be in the middle of the street?" Randy asked.

" Okay, he used to date this girl named Candice Michelle. That was the woman he was talking about to us. So they went out together one night and things turned out pretty bad. You see, she was dating this other guy while dating Shane."

Chris Jericho paused for a second and then began to talk again," Shane's mother was then found dead... Oh, can I just stop? It's a stupid story anyway..."

" Why? I need to know this kind of stuff," Randy said," how about if we ever meet him again?"

" Well, his mother was just found dead and Candice killed her. Well, that's what I think. No one knows but I think it's Candice. There's no one else that can possibly kill Shane! That man didn't stay or hang out with any other people besides his mother, father, and girlfriend... Well, now ex girlfriend."

" Is this taking us anywhere in why he said to do not trust Candice?" John asked.

" Yes, of course," Chris Jericho said," he's telling us to not trust Candice because she is just a plain, old tramp. "

" Don't say that," Randy said.

" Why?" Chris Jericho asked," is this America? I'm free to do or say whatever I want!"

" And if you keep on saying that it is going to go into people's heads and they are going to go out into that world thinking that they can kill anyone they want to!" John said.

" So, that's exactly what you thought about the mall shooting?" Jericho asked

John suddenly went blank.

Chris Jericho turned to John and said," Right?"

" What mall shooting? What.. What are you talking about?" John asked.

" Cena, you liar," Jericho said.

" Don't call me by my last name," John said with anger.

Suddenly everything went quiet in the car. Randy, who was sitting in the back of the car, was beginning to shake.

" Man, is it cold in here or is it just so quiet," Randy said.

" It's both," John muttered.

" Okay, Cena.."

" John," John corrected Jericho.

" Okay... John... I'm sorry to just blurt that out but you know it was true and you know that you killed many people," Chris Jericho said.

John looked down.

" But... that's what gangs are supposed to do," Chris Jericho said and then laughed. Randy and John were just listening to Chris laugh.

" It's not funny. I really do regret it," John said.

" What? Gangmembers don't regret stuff! They live on and keep those stuff," Chris Jericho said.

" That might be your opinion but I saw someone today that made me think over my career. She made me think why am I doing this? Why am I killing people for money?" John muttered and then looked down.

" Because you have no money!" Chris Jericho blurted out," face it, John! Your parents abandoned you when you were small and you lived by survival of the fittest. You are a true survivor."

The whole car was quiet again.

" John, right now Randy and I are your only brothers. We are family to you," Chris Jericho said.

" You are not my brothers! You are not my family! You are just two regular people who walk the streets in Las Vegas," John said.

" Well, if you put it that way..."

Randy stared at Chris Jericho and John for a very long time and then looked down.

" We are not your family and we are not regular people who walk the streets of Las Vegas. We are your friends and we are always there for you! We will always help you during the toughest times,even the times you regret from the past," Randy said.

" But I don't want to remember those times," John said," I want to start a new life."

" That's why you came to Hunter, my friend," Chris said,'' to start a new life."

" I just wish I can go back in time and start from an hour before I killed everyone in the mall shooting," John said.

" Why?" Chris Jericho asked,'' you are in a gang! You do not look back at the old times and wish you never did it. You are a gangmember and this is the way you get paid! We take lots of risks, my friend."

" John, why are you acting like this? You never cared about the mall shooting before," Randy said.

" I saw a girl today that I almost killed in the mall shooting. I think she recognized me. She was looking at me in a weird way. She might go blurt it out to the police and I will have to get put to death in jail or stay in jail for the rest of my life," John said.

" So, that's why you are regretting this? Because you're afraid that she will tell the cops?" Chris Jericho asked.

" Exactly," John said.

" How about all the other times? You almost got caught a lot of times before," Randy said.

" That... that was different," John muttered.

" I get it. You like this girl and you don't want her to know that you almost killed her," Chris said.

John stayed quiet but then he finally spoke. John said," I do not!"

" Face it John. You like her," Chris Jericho said.

Randy then laughed. As soon as John looked back at him, Randy faced towards the window as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile . . .

" Hunter, it's obvious that John isn't in his house. We've been waiting here for twenty minutes outside his door!" Ric Flair complained.

" Shut up old man," Hunter said," we'll just wait two more minutes and then he is going to arrive here."

" Or wake up from bed," Ric Flair added.

" Hello, his car is not in the parking lot retard," Hunter said.

" God, looks like someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed," Ric Flair said.

" Hm, not really because you are so cheap that you made me sleep on the couch last night," Hunter said.

" Wow, bed or couch, same thing," Ric Flair said.

" Not really, my back is hurting like hell because of you," Hunter said.

" I had enough," Ric Flair said," I'm leaving this place because I know for a fact that he isn't coming! He is probably out in a bar or something. Whatever the case is, I'm leaving!"

" Bye!" Hunter said in excitement.

" And you're happy about it," Ric Flair said and then rolled his eyes," well, I'm going to take the car back home and you're going to have to walk."

" No, I am not going to have to walk because John is going to come any minute and he can drop me off home," Hunter said.

" Good luck with that," Ric Flair said as he entered his BMW and then left.

Later on. . .

" Trish, are you okay about the Jericho situation?" Torrie asked.

" Yeah, I'm so over him. You know, you can never trust men sometimes."

" Yeah," Torrie said and then looked down while thinking about something.

" Sorry about your mom, Torrie," Trish said.

" Oh, that was a long time ago. It's okay," Torrie said.

" You know, you just look back at the old times and it seemed so different. Here, in Las Vegas, it feels like you just woke up from a Grand Theft Auto game."

Torrie laughed.

" No, I'm serious," Trish said.

" I didn't really understand what you said but.. okay," Torrie said and then laughed again.

" I'm saying that you were... we were once small town girls and now we are in a place that is so crowded," Trish said.

" I'm kind of used to it," Torrie said," I mean, I work here five days a week in a restaurant."

" Torrie, you can get a better job than that. Didn't you always want to be a model?" Trish asked.

" My dreams are ruined now. I left my family several years ago. Without them, I barely have enough money to go to a modeling school," Torrie said," besides, my dad said there was no purpose to modeling."

" Don't listen to him," Trish said," it's your life and you don't need to listen to him! You are not his baby girl anymore! You have grown, Torrie."

" I know it's my life but..."

" But what?" Trish asked.

" Nothing," Torrie said and continued walking.

" Okay, then," Trish said.

Somewhere else. . .

" An exit!" Randy called out. Suddenly Chris Jericho turned inside the exit and kept on driving. Chris Jericho looked out for signs and then saw a sign that said going back to Las Vegas.

" Okay everyone, we are going back to Las Vegas," Chris announced.

" Finally," John complained and put on a radio station. Suddenly the song " Flashing Lights" by Kanye West came on the radio station and John Cena began to sing it.

" She don't believe in shooting stars, but she believes in shoes and cars..."

" Man, I hate this song. It has no meaning," Randy said.

" It has a lot of meaning," John said," it's talking about a girl who doesn't wish to live her dreams but instead takes the fortune.''

" Wow, what a story!" Randy said sarcastically.

" Be quiet," John said," What's your favorite song? Winnie the Pooh bear?"

" Shut up," Randy said," and your's is probably the Bob the Builder song."

" Who the fuck is Bob the Stripper?" Chris Jericho asked.

" I said Bob the Builder!" Randy shouted," are you deaf?"

John was laughing hysterically in the car.

" Oh, good thing because for a second I thought you were going out with this Bob the Stripper guy...," Chris said.

" Me? What?" Randy said.

" I mean, if you ever heard of a straight and crooked line, you are so in the crooked line,'' John said.

" I'm not gay!" Randy complained.

" If you would stop complaining I wouldn't have to hear your ugly, girly voice," Chris said.

" What? How about you, blondie? Where's Ken? Oh, did he sleep with you last night?" Randy asked.

" No, as a matter of fact I was up all night!" Chris Jericho screamed.

" Why must you two little faggots argue on who's gay and who's not. Gosh, can you stop?" John asked.

" I need to tell you something," Randy said.

" What? You're coming out of the closet?" Chris asked.

" One more topic on the word gay and that's it!" John yelled.

Suddenly the whole car went quiet.

Suddenly Randy said," And for your information, I didn't and I am not coming out of the closet. Again, I am not gay!"

" Aw, he's not happy..."

Meanwhile . . .

Torrie was walking back home by herself until this brunette lady came running up to her.

" Hi! My name is Dawn Marie and I am looking for some flowers to get for my wedding. Do you happen to know any flower shops around here? You see, me and my fiance are getting married really soon and we haven't chosen the flowers yet. He is supposed to be coming to Las Vegas in just a few minutes. He just took the plane a while ago," Dawn Marie said.

" Um, I'm not really familiar with this neighborhood. You see, I only work in a restaurant around here," Torrie said.

" A restaurant? You work in a restaurant? Which one?'' Dawn Marie asked.

" Um, Finlay's Bar and Restaurant," Torrie said.

" Oh, sounds nice. Where is it?" Dawn Marie asked.

" Just down the corner over there in Maple street," Torrie said.

" Thanks. My fiance and I might make reservations there for our wedding. Thanks for telling me. By the way, just in case you forgot, my name is Dawn Marie and my fiance's name is Al. Try to make reservations for us please," Dawn said and then hurriedly walked away.

" Al," Torrie thought in her head.

Then she thought," There are so many Al's out there. It can't possibly Al Wilson. Besides, he doesn't even live here. He lives back in Idaho."

Then she looked back and saw the lights from casinos and bars flash in the night, starry sky.

Sometimes the world seems so small, yet it so big.

End of Chapter. . .

Haha, Finlay's Bar and Restaurant. I didn't know what else to call it.. Anyway, I hope you liked it. This chapter didn't really contain any new information except the story Chris Jericho told John and Randy about Shane, the random hobo on the street, and Candice Michelle. Listen, I do not like Shane and Candice together!! It was just a random pairing just for this part in the story so... please catch on with me here! lol Besides from that, the ending was kind of strange. Torrie met the same brunette lady John saw in the elevator before. Dawn Marie! Does that ring a bell? The note that had a hotel number on it? Anyway, Dawn has a fiance named Al. Is it Al Wilson or another Al... like Al Snow or... or... or some other random guy...
