The Reunion
A blue swirling vortex opens in an alley in the respectable town of San Francisco. A semi-tall dark skinned, middle aged man, named Remme, along with a medium height, fair skinned woman, with dark hair and brown eyes called Maggie, and a pecan skinned tall woman named Diana performed a perfect landing. A young man in his early twenties with a weird smirk permanently implanted on his face known as Mallory although his first name is Quin fell flat on his face out of the vortex. They had just escaped being fried by an insane mad scientist version of Quin and are bragging about it.
"Wow. Remme that was brilliant, I was married to Quin for a short while and I wouldn't have even thought to outsmart him like that!" Maggie congratulated.
"Yeah well you pick up things when you've been together non-stop for the last five years in impossible situations." Remme answered.
"That was great!" Diana agreed with Maggie.
"Yeah! You were just as good as that Quin guy you're always talking about in fact better." Mallory said what was meant to be a compliment but turned out to be a major insult.
"Thanks, but I don't want to take that kind of credit besides I learned a lot of what I know from "that Quin guy" he got us out of much more complicated situations than that. Although I did handle that quite good if I do say so myself."
"Yeah Old Quin would have been proud." Maggie said in a reminiscing sort of way.
"Well guys let's go try and find some room and board we're here for about a week." Diana said clearly trying to change the subject.
"Yeah I thought I saw hotel sign over there when we landed" Remme said glad of the change in subject.
"How could you see anything when we landed you were facing towards the vortex?" Maggie countered.
" Well I did."
"Don't look at me all I saw was the concrete." Mallory said with his normal smart tone.
"Well I'm going to check it out weather you three go or not." Remme said and started around the corner. Sure enough there was a small homey hotel right around the corner. The sign read "Slide into the future at the Future Hotel and Casino" and in smaller letters below the headline "A Branch of Chandler Hotels". "Hey guys there's a Chandler right here." Remme said as he started across the street. As he walked into the door he greeted himself. There was a life size Cutout of Rembrant Brown of this world poised next to the door that had a recording saying hello apparently attached to a motion sensor. As Remme walked through the lobby he saw signs advertising all kinds of rides and different things including a sign that said " Come visit Q-balls café with live entertainment on Thursday nights after six Great fun and food for the whole family. Complete with Slider impersonators as your guides through a sliding adventure." As Remme approached the desk the teller gasped in what seemed to be excitement.
"Are you the Rembrant Brown?" The teller asked seemingly amazed.
"I'm not some other Rembrant Brown if that's what you mean."
"I..I..I can't..Oh..Er..Um..Would you like the Sliders Suite it would um be free to you of course." The extremely young man stuttered.
"Yes. That sounds rather nice. I have three other friends staying with me. A Mrs. Maggie Becket, a Ms. Davis, and a man in his early twenties called Mallory." Remme replied.
"Wow four still living of the eight that there was. Here's your keys, Suite 121B, course you probably already knew that didn't you."
"Yeah sure kid whatever, look I'm going to go get my friends and then we'll be back is there someplace where we can get a bite to eat with good food and some quiet music?"
" Give me one minute and I'll look." The teller replied and picked up the phone. "Hello. Mrs. Paris, a gentleman here would like a place to eat without the lights and glitz of the casino should I tell him about your lounge." He said softly into the telephone. After a few seconds he put down the phone and looked up. Seeming a little bit calmer he now said, "There's a little place back right hand corner. Take the hallway on your right all the way back. On the door should be a sign that says Lieutenant Commanders Quarters. Knock and say that Mrs. Lightcudder sent you it should have the type of atmosphere you're looking for."
Remme smiled, "Thanks Kid." Then he walked outside and immediately spotted the group wandering in the wrong direction still looking for a hotel. "Hey guys I found a place. We're all checked in no cost." He shouted motioning for them to come here. They turned around and headed in his direction.
