August 5th 4am Eastern Standard Time.
(at the loft)
Roger was sleeping on the couch after another fight with Mimi when the phone rang.
"WHAT?" Roger yelled.
"Its me Collins…….somebody burned The Santa Fe down." Collins said in a sad tone.
"Oh shit Thomas, I'm sorry man."
"Get everyone over here so we can talk." Collins said.
"Ok, I'll see you in 30."
"30? It only takes you 10 minutes to get here." Collins said laughing.
"Its hard waking Mimi up when she pissed." Roger said dryly.
"You two had another fight?"
"Yeah, I'll see you in a few."
Roger hung up the phone and stopped in the middle of the living room.
Should I wake Mimi up first or wake up Mark and Mickey so they can help me?
Roger asked himself, he decided to wake up Mimi first, he quietly walked in the bedroom and saw Mimi asleep holding Victoria.
"Hey." Roger whispered.
He hit her foot to wake her up.
"Mimi." Roger whispered again.
He hit her foot harder and she kicked him in his nuts.
(In Mark and Mickey's room)
Mark jumped up when her heard a blood sweating scream.
"Mickey, what the hell was that?"
"What?" Mickey whined.
"I hear crying."
"Maybe its Tory." Mickey said with her eyes still closed.
"It sounds like…Roger?"
Mickey raised her head off Mark's chest and they ran out of the room. They ran to Roger and Mimi's room and found Roger rolling on the floor holding himself and Mimi standing over him.
"Baby, I am so sorry." Mimi said.
"What the hell happened?" Mark asked looking in disbelief.
"I'm never going to be able to have kids again." Roger said in a painful voice.
Mickey started laughing.
"Collin…oh God…..wants…fuck…us..to….." Roger said getting on off the floor.
"To what?" The three of them asked.
"Come to the Santa Fe. It was burnt down."
"What?"
"Someone burnt it down."
"Who would want to do that?" Mimi asked.
"I don't know, but if I find them I'm going to kill them." Roger said still holding him self.
August 5th 5am Eastern Standard Time.
(The Santa Fe)
When the five of them got there Maureen was sitting on a chair crying dramatically and Joanne was rolling her eyes.
"HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?" Maureen said crying louder.
Angel and Collins just looked at her with the 'this bitch is crazy' look.
"Thomas." Roger yelled getting Collins attention.
Collins looked up and he and Angel went over to them and hugged them.
"You two ok?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah, but Mo is taking harder it then we are." Collins said laughing.
"Poor girl.. Drama just comes to her naturally." Angel said shaking her head.
"Who did this?" Mickey asked.
"Barney across the street said some girl dressed in all black was lurking around here and before you know it he saw smoke and flames." Angel explained.
Mark got the same look he got when he read the note on his face again.
"Baby, you ok?" Mickey asked.
"I guess. I'm going to go say hi to Joanne and Maureen." Mark said walking away.
"Is he ok?" Angel asked
Mickey took a deep breath.
"Today he gets his test results in." Mickey said looking at Mark.
Collins and Angel just shook there heads.
Mark got out his camera.
Mark: August 5th 1992, 5:35am Eastern Standard Time……if you cant tell this use to be The Santa Fe, but was burnt down by a mysterious girl. I have a strong feeling who it is….but I don't think I'm right…..Collins is a kind hearted and loyal man, he's a genius. Why would someone want to burn down his dream? All the weird things that have been going have been scaring the shit out of me. Why chose fear? You might ask. I'm a New Yorker…fears my life.
Mark cut his camera off and just looked around.
August 5th 1pm Eastern Standard Time.
(At Joanne's office)
Joanne was working on some papers when Mickey barged in and sat across from her.
"Let me show you something Mickey." Joanne said getting up.
Joanne walked out the door and shut it. A minute later she knocked.
"Say come in." Joanne told Mickey.
"Uh…come in?"
Joanne walked back in and sat at her desk.
"That's what your suppose to do." Joanne said calmly.
"I'm losing my mind right now." Mickey said ignoring joanne.
"Mark hasn't called you yet?"
"No."
"Why didn't he want you to come?"
"I don't know, he said he wanted to have this time to himself and he promised to call me as soon as he got the results."
(on the roof)
Mark looked at the New York sky holding the envelope, he had been holding it for an hour now and couldn't bring himself to open it. Mark thought about then events of the past 5 years. Going to collage, being roommates with Benny, dropping out of collage, moving into the loft, meeting Collins and April, dating Maureen, Aprils death, Rogers withdrawal, meeting Angel, Joanne and Mimi, becoming part of a family he's always wanted, Kate, and falling in love with Mickey, he looked at the envelope.
"No day but today." He said to himself.
Mark slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the paper. The test showed negative, he took a deep breath and put a big smile on his face.
(At the loft)
Mimi put Victoria down for her nap and walked in the living room, a pillow case went over her head and someone grabbed her.
August 5th 1:30pm Eastern Standard Time.
Mark walked in the loft and heard Victoria screaming, he ran in her room.
"Mimi? You here?"
Mark picked Victoria and saw a note in her crib.
I've been waiting to do this for a long time LOL! I have the slut and if you want to see her again you'll be smart.
Mark ran to the phone and called everyone.
August 5th 2pm Eastern Standard Time.
"WHATS THE EMERGENCY." Maureen asked as the rest of them walked through the door.
"Here honey, take Tory." Mark said nervously handing the baby to his fiancée. "Where the hell is Roger?" Mark asked in an angry tone.
"We don't know. What's wrong?" Angel asked.
"Mimi's been kidnapped."
What the fucks and hell no's spread across the room. Mark handed Angel the note, she read it and tears fell down her cheeks, Collins read it with disbelief, Joanne read it and started shaking then handed it Maureen who started crying, she handed it to Mickey
"This is war!" Mickey said with fire in her eyes.
