Thanks For The Memories
Chapter 14
Shawn, Paul and Randy arrived in Ontario and made their way to Danny's house.
"Are you sure he still lives here?" Paul asked.
"Yeah, I came here with him after we went to speak to Trish that one time…"
"Maybe we shouldn't be here…" Randy stated.
Shawn and Paul looked over at him.
"Why?" Paul asked.
"Don't you think it's weird he didn't answer either phone?" Randy asked.
Shawn and Paul looked at one another. Randy was right. Shawn hadn't been able to get in touch with Danny in a few days.
"Maybe he's not feeling well… We'll find out in a few minutes. We're here." Shawn stated.
The three men went up to the front door. Shawn knocked and rang the doorbell.
It took a few moments, but the door eventually opened. Shawn looked at the man who was standing in the doorway. He was slightly shorter than Danny, had dark blue eyes and dark brown curly hair, as opposed to Danny's dark auburn wavy hair and grey eyes.
"You're… Definitely not Danny Jenkins." Paul stated.
"Yeah? Thanks for telling me that; it only assures me of what I know. You're right. I'm not Danny Jenkins… I'm John, Danny's older brother. What are you three doing here?" John asked.
"Danny told us we could come by and visit." Shawn replied.
John raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"You spoke to him?"
"A few days ago… Why?" Shawn asked.
"Nobody's seen or heard from him in a few days, that's why," John replied, glancing at each man to see if he knew them from somewhere.
"Who the hell are you, anyway?" He asked.
"Oh, sorry. My name is Shawn Hickenbottom. This is Paul Levesque and that's Randy Orton. We used to work with Danny in the…"
"The WWE. Yeah, I remember meeting you guys. Sorry it took me a few minutes. It's just that…. I haven't seen you guys in ages, ya know?"
"Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry about it." Shawn stated.
"What do you mean by nobody's seen or heard from him in a few days?" Paul asked.
John looked over at Paul.
"Exactly what it sounds like, I guess. He called me on Tuesday and said he was home and I should come over for a drink or something… I got here about an hour later and he was gone."
"He didn't leave a note?" Randy asked.
"No, obviously not… I wouldn't be camping out in his house if he did."
"Why not try calling his cell phone?" Paul asked.
John glared at Paul and gave him the 'are you friggin serious' face. He pulled a cell phone out of his pocket.
"You mean this thing? Well, for starters, I have no desire to talk to myself."
Shawn snickered at John, making Paul glare at him.
"No need to be nasty, John. We're just trying to help." Paul replied.
"Relax, Paul, it's only a joke..," John stated, rolling his eyes as he did so.
John turned to look at Shawn.
"Honestly, how can my brother make friends with someone who lacks a sense of humor?" He asked.
Shawn shrugged his shoulders and chuckled to himself.
"I thought you'd want to be more serious in this situation." Paul stated.
John turned his attention back to Paul.
"Believe me, I do. But my older brothers are cops and they're keeping an eye out. Besides, it's not uncommon for Danny to just take off for a few days. He usually leaves a note and doesn't forget his phone… But there's always that one moment when you ruin a perfect track record."
"So you think he went on a spontaneous trip?" Randy asked.
"I don't know. I honestly don't. You guys can come in and hang out with me if you want… I'm not really doing anything." John offered.
"Don't take candy from strangers." Paul muttered, making Randy, Shawn and John look at him in shock.
"Do I look like a pedophile to you, grandpa?" John asked.
Paul looked at him wide-eyed.
"I have no idea where that came from. I'm so sorry."
Paul lowered his head in shame, excusing himself from the conversation with the action.
Shawn looked back at John.
"Want some food?"
A/N: Dun dun dunnnnn.
I'm kinda sad nobody got the pun, especially after I mentioned The Blues Brothers.
Ah well. Dan and John are brothers, yeah? Well… Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi portrayed The Blues Brothers, Elwood and Jake, respectively.
Better luck next time.
