Chapter 33 - Binding the Shards.
"This is Officer Brian O'Connor. I need a life flight rollout right away. I'm at highway mile marker." Brian rolled off their location. "I have a male trauma victim, 'bout 24, 'bout 6 foot, 200 pounds, deep lacerations to his right arm with arterial bleeding and a shotgun wound to his left flank." Vince made a funny noise and Brian looked down. "He's goin' into shock." Brian called as he tried to keep the belt he was using as a tourniquet on Vince's arm tight. Dom was staring at Brian like he wanted to kill him. They all knew the chopper would be there within 5 minutes.
"God damn it Brian. What's gonna happen now?" Nyssa said as Mia mouthed to Dom that she hadn't known.
"He's not gonna die Nyssa and that has to be all that matters right now." Brian said sadly. He figured that Vince was gonna do time. He had no way around that fact. If Vince didn't go to the hospital then he'd die and if he went to the hospital then he'd go to jail.
"No it doesn't Brian. You played this team and you gotta decide now, are you a Toretto or a cop!" Nyssa screamed at him. She'd known Brian was a cop all along, but it hadn't been her place to say anything. Sometimes part of knowing what was going to happen in days to come was knowing when you couldn't say anything, when you had to deal with the knowledge all on your own. And knowing what Brian was had been one of those things she'd had to keep bottled up inside.
Brian looked confused. "What'doya mean?" What did she want him to decide now? Dom looked ready to throttle him.
"Were you gonna turn us in." She shouted at him. Brian noticed that she included herself in the team, that she was willing to take responsibility for what they'd done even though they'd done it pretty much with out her, and it had never been her idea, she hadn't been around the team when they'd started to do these jobs.
"I don't.Yes.No.I don't know Nyssa."
"Tell me now!" She screamed. She had a plan but she had to know. "I can fix this Brian but not if you're gonna turn us, turn them in!" Her voice was so shrill that it was hard to understand her but Brian got it.
"I'll work wit you Nyssa." He made the decision in a snap. He'd flipped and Dom and his family were more important now. Mia was more important.
"Good." She smiled at Brian. She'd known that his love of Dom and Mia was more to him then the police force, but he'd had to make that decision on his own. "Dom, leave. NOW!" She yelled when he didn't move.
"I'm not leaving him." Dom looked belligerent, and looked at Vince.
"Yeah, you are. You guys all get outta here. Go home. Wait for Jesse. You can't be here. You have like 2 minutes to bounce Dom, go. I'll fix this. Go! Get in the fuckin' car and bounce." She shouted at him. Dom started to move. "Mia, go with him honey. It's gonna be fine." Mia was in such shock, Nyssa was almost more worried for her then for Vince. Vince was too strong and stubborn not to make it out of this. Mia on the other hand was more fragile and she'd just seen her childhood friend shot and found out the man she loved was playing her whole family the first 5 months or so she'd known him.
"You can fix this?" Dom didn't know how.
"Yes, if you fucken leave already! Go Dom. I'm going to make up a story. That Civic has to disappear. You go find Jesse and send Letty and Leon to loose the Civic in a way that it'll never show up again. I mean it Dom, it has to be like it fell of the earth. If anyone finds any part of it, that part better be beyond tracing. Got it?"
"Ok, yeah I got it."
"Take Mia with you." She said with the best smile she could manage for Mia's sake.
"Go with Dominic Mia. It's gonna be ok. But you need to go home and wait for Jesse." Nyssa tried to smile for Mia's benefit. She had this feeling again that Mia had to be home when Jesse came back. Mia had to be there. "Mia, go wit Dom. It's all gonna be fine. We'll talk it all out tonight when it's over sweetie, just go with Dom." Mia looked at Nyssa, and Nyssa could tell she was in shock. Mia stood up.
"Good luck." Dom ran for the car, hauling poor Mia with him. Mia turned to look at them before Dom yelled at her and she climbed in with Letty.
"Brian. This is how it has to go down ok."
"I'm listening." Brian didn't know how she was gonna fix this. He was the cop and he didn't have a clue what could be done to fix this.
"Give me your cell." He did. She made a call. "Uncle Steve? It's Nyssa. I can't really go into it right now but I've been in a car wreck and so have some of my friends and because of how the cars were wrecked they need to disappear. I mean forever and untraceable, they have to be gone like Atlantis." Her uncle said something back. "They're along highway 5, one's rolled in the ditch and the other's on the side of the road with shotgun holes in it. Neither are driveable. So they're as good as gone? Perfect. Thanks Steve. No, I'm gonna be fine if those cars disappear. Yeah, I'll see you when I unravel all this shit. Don't say anything to Daddy, he'll worry. Just make the cars go away." She hung up. "Brian."
"Yeah."
"Here's the deal ok?"
"I'm listening." Poor Vince was trying to stay conscious long enough to hear this in case they questioned him. He had to know what she'd cooked up to save their asses. He put his trust in her completely. If this could be fixed Nyssa could do it. She continued on.
"Vince an I were kidnapped two hours ago by a trucker at a rest stop somewhere close to racewars when we stopped for gas. I had Dom's cell phone on me and I called you on it to tell you where I thought we were, but I couldn't talk long because I was scared the trucker would hear me and I had no idea where we were to tell you. Then the trucker got mad that we had no money on us, nothing of value, beat up Vince then shot him when he fought back, then beat up me when Vince was out of the way. Then he left us for dead here on the side of the road. You used the cell phone trace to find us and then you called for the ambulance."
"That's genius Nyssa."
"Only if I'm right and that trucker had some reason why he didn't stop and didn't radio the police. I have this feeling that he was hauling something that he couldn't let the cops know about. But I mean it Brian, no one's taken' them from me Brian. I mean it. This isn't just a team to me this is a family and I'm not knowin' that they're all in jail over this. You know Mia could go down too, for, what's that cop term, obstructing justice and for accessory after the fact. You want to know she went to jail 'causea you?" Nyssa felt bad for saying this stuff to Brian but it had to be said. "You shoulda either did your job or told your boss you couldn't do it. You got in too deep and don't think I'm not pissed as hell at you over this." Brian looked upset. "But I really think you're doin' the right thing now and this buncha hot headed men is never gonna do anything like this again." She said with a loving smile at Vince. He wasn't doing too good but she still held tight to the belief that he was too damn stubborn to die when he had so many more years of making her life interesting to look forward to. The chopper arrived and they loaded Vince and Nyssa into it. They didn't ask any questions but Nyssa knew they'd come later. The paramedic's job was just to keep them alive. They cops would be waiting for them at the hospital no doubt.
Brian took off in the Supra and headed back to Dom's. He had to keep his end up. He had to go to the house and explain the story to the team. He wondered how they'd explain away Letty's injuries and why the trucker hadn't radioed in the attack on his truck. But he hadn't.
Nyssa was holding Vince's good hand while the paramedics worked over him. Someone poked her in the side and she cried out, they'd gotten her on the left of her body and she was in agony there. She only held on because she knew Vince needed her to be strong. She was close to passing out but she wanted to hold on to consciousness for Vince's sake. Or that's what she told herself. Vince had gotten worse and in reality she was scared if she passed out she'd wake up to a doctor or one of the team telling her that Vince had died. She thought if she just held on to her consciousness and to his hand that everything would be ok.
"Miss, are you ok?" One of the men asked her.
"I'm fine, just take carea him." Nyssa said, the look on her face must have given her away, plus the condition of her face. The man didn't listen to her and forced her down on the other stretcher. Then he hauled her shirt up. She was a bloody, black and purple mess. She had intense bruising on her ribs, lower abdomen and left hip. She was in bad shape really and the paramedic wondered how she'd kept herself awake and aware of what was going on. She was in just as bad if not worse shape then her boyfriend.
"You've got at least two broken ribs." The man told her and then probed her lower belly. She gasped and nearly fainted from the pain. "And you're bleeding internally." The paramedic told her. They had to get her into an OR, she'd need surgery to find the bleeder or she'd bleed to death, all without ever showing a drop of blood on the outside of her skin.
"I'm fine." Nyssa said.
"No you're not Miss. You need to let us start an IV and start giving you blood or you could bleed to death. Please lay back down." The man tried to force her down but she fought him off. She had to stay awake, had to stay with V. She couldn't let him go. She just couldn't. It didn't matter what they'd said. She'd just been in a car accident, she couldn't be hurt that bad. She thought she heard Vince speak. She leaned over him.
"Did you say somethin' baby?" She asked him.
"Yeah," he croaked out softly, "if I have ta let these fucks poke and prod me then so do you. I can't loose you because you were too stubborn to let someone help you when you needed it baby girl. I'll be fine, let them help you too." He didn't even know how bad she'd really gotten hurt, but he'd listened to every word she'd said to the punk, he knew the story he had to play along with. With that said he tried to look at Nyssa to make sure she was ok and watched as she promptly fainted. "Help her!" He said.
"Just calm down sir, now that she's out cold she'll be easier to help." The paramedic stated as they started to work over Nyssa. "How'd she get these injuries?" They asked Vince. They had to know to help her, or know how she might have been injured.
"We got beaten up by some punk." Vince said then passed out himself from the loss of blood and the sedatives and pain killers they'd given him.
Brian squealed up to the Toretto house and jumped out of his car. Dom was loading weapons into the charger.
"Come on Dom, put the gun down, no more running." Brian shouted.
"Move your car." Dom said in the calmest voice Brian had ever heard him use and it just showed how very not calm he was.
"No Dom, I haven't called the cops but don't push me."
"You're the cop Brian. You're a fuckin cop!" Dom shouted. "I gotta find Jesse before they do. I'm all the kid's got." Dom said. "Now move your car."
"Dom enough!" Mia yelled from the porch.
"Dom, Nyssa and I fixed it. It's gonna be ok. I'll call in the plates and PD'll pick him up long before Tran ever finds him."
Jesse squealed to a stop in front of the house. "Dom I'm so scared right now."
"Jesse, what were you thinkin'?" Dom asked as he threw down the gun.
"I panicked. Dom I am so scared." Jesse was clearly terrified, shaking and stuttering. They all heard the crotch rockets at the same time, the Tran's came out of no where and shot the place up, hitting Jesse. His body jerked in the air and then lay so still on the sidewalk. As soon as the shots started to go Dom got down on all fours and flew toward Jesse. Mia fell down and hid in the corner of the step.
"Jesse!" Mia screamed as the boy fell. Dom ran to Jesse's prone form and pulled him into his arms. Brian almost cried. He'd brought some of this onto the team by not doing his job. If he'd simply done his job then Dom would be in jail right now and no one would be hurt. Nyssa was totally right. But he couldn't send Dom to jail. He had to fix this as best as he could. He was helping them. He'd decided to be loyal to his team. That was all that mattered. He'd just have to hope they'd still have him when this was all settled. He jumped in the supra and took off after Tran as Dom did the same in his charger.
Mia called 911. This was why she had to be home. She had to be here for Jesse. Mia felt a shiver come down her spine and made all the fine hairs on her body stand up on end. Vince didn't pick Nyssa up just cause she was there that night at the races, he picked her up because fate stepped in and sent her to them. They'd needed her just as much as she'd honestly needed them. Mia tried to keep hold of herself for Jesse's sake. The ambulance came and took over for her as she'd been trying to keep pressure on the wounds. She had Jesse taken to the hospital. He was still alive but no one could say for how long. He wasn't in good shape.
He took three bullets. All missed his vital organs but they did cause a lot of damage none the less and also caused him to loose a lot of blood. He was in a coma and no one could say if he'd ever wake up. But he wasn't dead. That was all Mia could hold on to. She had no idea what kind of shape Vince or Nyssa was in. She was so torn. Her whole world was flipped upside down in the space of 12 hours. She sat down in the hospital waiting room on the floor against the wall and just sobbed.
Leon came in and sat beside her. "What's wrong girl?" He asked.
"Leon, what're you doin' here?"
"Brought Letty. She's hurt. But she's gonna be fine. What're you doin' here?"
"Oh Leon." She didn't want to be the one to tell Leon about Jesse. They were so close, they'd been on the run together since Leon's mom left him and Jesse's dad went to prison. Leon looked out for Jesse since the younger man needed someone to look out for him and Jesse built the cars. It was hard not to feel protective of Jesse. But Leon was like a surrogate father or at least like an older brother to the boy. Mia wondered if Leon had gotten rid of the Civic. "Did you lose the..." She trailed off.
"Yeah, it's all set. But what's really wrong Mia? What Mia? What happened?" Leon wondered what had Mia so upset. He wondered if Brian had gotten hurt, or if they'd had bad news about Vince or Nyssa.
"Jesse came back to the house, begging Dom to help him fix the mess that his running off caused. But the Trans found him and shot up the house. Jesse got shot three times by the Trans."
"Oh god. Not Jesse. Is he.?"
"No, he's not. But it's not lookin' good either Leon. He's in a coma right now and they won't tell me he'll ever wake up. They say they don't know." Mia held Leon and the two cried over all that had happened to their team, their family, their lives in the last short time. Leon got himself together only minutes later but it felt like hours.
"He'll be fine. His attention span's so short that god could call him and two seconds later Jess'd forget where he was supposed to go." Leon chuckled. Mia giggled, smiled through her tears. That was Jesse. She hoped Leon was right. "So did you hear anything about Vince and Nyssa?"
"God Leon, I didn't even think to ask if they brought them here, I was so worried about Jesse. Let's go find a doctor and see if there's any news on Jesse then see if Nyssa and Vince are at this hospital."
"Yeah, let's do that." Leon answered and helped Mia up off the floor.
Brian took out Johnny Tran and Dom took out Lance. They raced the final strip of road. As they both cleared the train tracks less then a second before the train would have creamed them Dom hit, of all things, a transfer truck and the Charger was tossed like a bean bag into the air, did a 360 spin over Brian's car and landed, flipping over and turning the beautiful front end into a pile of twisted scrap metal. The whole car was a wreck and Brian was worried about Dom. Had the other man had his belt on?
"Dom!" Brian called and his friend didn't move. Brian ran up to the car calling Dom's name. Dom turned to look at him with a slightly pained look on his face, slightly stunned as well.
"That's how I woulda had mine." Dom said with a self depreciating grin as Brian helped him out of his once beautiful classic beast. The two men stood by the car for a second, Dom looking stoic and Brian worrying if the plan would work and if he was doing the right thing in this whole situation.
Brian held out his keys to Dom. "Go, go home."
"You know what you're doin'?" In his heart Dom had figured that Brian would turn them in. Once a cop always a cop. He'd never counted on Brian really caring about the team more then his career, once he'd known that Bri wasn't a down on his luck racer.
"I own you a 10 second car, plus I got this. It's gonna be ok, but you gotta get outta here. You're getting told that a lot today huh? I took you're charger ok. You took the supra after I shot Johnny, you tried to stop me. We were at racewars till Nyssa called to tell us that her'n Vince were in trouble ok. You need to remember that Dom. Got it?"
"I got it Brian. I trusted you once, I hope I'm not making a worse mistake doin' it again."
"You're not, but go." They could hear sirens. Dom took off. He really hoped that Brian was what he appeared to be.
AN: Getting close to the end now I think. :) Hope all the people really reading this are enjoying it still. I wanted to share this with you all.It's just curious to me so if anyone cares to leave their take on it in a review I'd be much obliged. I got this 'review' on this story.
dude that was the gayest scrypt ever. holy crap i almost shit my pants that so terrible. do us all a favor and dont write anything for a while.
Am I writing a script? Is it possible that I'm writing a scrypt and didn't even know? What is a scrypt? Should I stop writing? Do I suck? Maybe I should kill this story off? LOL, just thought you all might get as big a laugh out of this as I did. Then the same person was silly enough to send me harassing emails from what appears to be their real email account.
arrowsmith1@attbi.com hey dumass. the last line in the fast in the furious by dom was thats not what i had in mind. not thats not how i would have had mine. before you think your high and mighty by typing a "mistake you found" study the problem more carefully. dont just blow it your ass.
sincerely, better than than you
They go on to say.
arrowsmith1@attbi.com oh and another thing, all your stupid scrypts eat shit. there gay. dont waste space on this website with wannabe loser shit
Does this make sense to anyone? I'm so confused, it's very strange to be both puzzled and laughing your butt off at the same time. I mean, if she's gonna call me a dumbass she could at least spell the dumb part right. I think sentences start with capitals, or is that just me? I think I is a capital too. I think that the name of a movie is both in quotes or underlined, as well as having capitals, I think it's you're in this case, I don't own high or mighty. I never claimed to have found a mistake anywhere, I also believe it's don't not dont. I don't think that last thing in the first email is even a sentence in the English language. Also, I still don't think I write scripts or, as the case may be scrypts. Wouldn't it by they're? Can a script even be gay? I guess if it's a comedy it could be happy but I think the part of the movie I'm dealing with here is pretty morose really. Who's gay is it? The way it's written it must be someone's. Am I a wannabe loser? Maybe, anyone else agree? I just had to chuck that up there, I was laughing my ass off over someone criticizing me this bad with this many spelling, grammar and just general bad taste errors, But anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the story and got a laugh out that other stuff. I know I did. :)

Brian squealed up to the Toretto house and jumped out of his car. Dom was loading weapons into the charger.
"Come on Dom, put the gun down, no more running." Brian shouted.
"Move your car." Dom said in the calmest voice Brian had ever heard him use and it just showed how very not calm he was.
"No Dom, I haven't called the cops but don't push me."
"You're the cop Brian. You're a fuckin cop!" Dom shouted. "I gotta find Jesse before they do. I'm all the kid's got." Dom said. "Now move your car."
"Dom enough!" Mia yelled from the porch.
"Dom, Nyssa and I fixed it. It's gonna be ok. I'll call in the plates and PD'll pick him up long before Tran ever finds him."
Jesse squealed to a stop in front of the house. "Dom I'm so scared right now."
"Jesse, what were you thinkin'?" Dom asked as he threw down the gun.
"I panicked. Dom I am so scared." Jesse was clearly terrified, shaking and stuttering. They all heard the crotch rockets at the same time, the Tran's came out of no where and shot the place up, hitting Jesse. His body jerked in the air and then lay so still on the sidewalk. As soon as the shots started to go Dom got down on all fours and flew toward Jesse. Mia fell down and hid in the corner of the step.
"Jesse!" Mia screamed as the boy fell. Dom ran to Jesse's prone form and pulled him into his arms. Brian almost cried. He'd brought some of this onto the team by not doing his job. If he'd simply done his job then Dom would be in jail right now and no one would be hurt. Nyssa was totally right. But he couldn't send Dom to jail. He had to fix this as best as he could. He was helping them. He'd decided to be loyal to his team. That was all that mattered. He'd just have to hope they'd still have him when this was all settled. He jumped in the supra and took off after Tran as Dom did the same in his charger.
Mia called 911. This was why she had to be home. She had to be here for Jesse. Mia felt a shiver come down her spine and made all the fine hairs on her body stand up on end. Vince didn't pick Nyssa up just cause she was there that night at the races, he picked her up because fate stepped in and sent her to them. They'd needed her just as much as she'd honestly needed them. Mia tried to keep hold of herself for Jesse's sake. The ambulance came and took over for her as she'd been trying to keep pressure on the wounds. She had Jesse taken to the hospital. He was still alive but no one could say for how long. He wasn't in good shape.
He took three bullets. All missed his vital organs but they did cause a lot of damage none the less and also caused him to loose a lot of blood. He was in a coma and no one could say if he'd ever wake up. But he wasn't dead. That was all Mia could hold on to. She had no idea what kind of shape Vince or Nyssa was in. She was so torn. Her whole world was flipped upside down in the space of 12 hours. She sat down in the hospital waiting room on the floor against the wall and just sobbed.
Leon came in and sat beside her. "What's wrong girl?" He asked.
"Leon, what're you doin' here?"
"Brought Letty. She's hurt. But she's gonna be fine. What're you doin' here?"
"Oh Leon." She didn't want to be the one to tell Leon about Jesse. They were so close, they'd been on the run together since Leon's mom left him and Jesse's dad went to prison. Leon looked out for Jesse since the younger man needed someone to look out for him and Jesse built the cars. It was hard not to feel protective of Jesse. But Leon was like a surrogate father or at least like an older brother to the boy. Mia wondered if Leon had gotten rid of the Civic. "Did you lose the..." She trailed off.
"Yeah, it's all set. But what's really wrong Mia? What Mia? What happened?" Leon wondered what had Mia so upset. He wondered if Brian had gotten hurt, or if they'd had bad news about Vince or Nyssa.
"Jesse came back to the house, begging Dom to help him fix the mess that his running off caused. But the Trans found him and shot up the house. Jesse got shot three times by the Trans."
"Oh god. Not Jesse. Is he.?"
"No, he's not. But it's not lookin' good either Leon. He's in a coma right now and they won't tell me he'll ever wake up. They say they don't know." Mia held Leon and the two cried over all that had happened to their team, their family, their lives in the last short time. Leon got himself together only minutes later but it felt like hours.
"He'll be fine. His attention span's so short that god could call him and two seconds later Jess'd forget where he was supposed to go." Leon chuckled. Mia giggled, smiled through her tears. That was Jesse. She hoped Leon was right. "So did you hear anything about Vince and Nyssa?"
"God Leon, I didn't even think to ask if they brought them here, I was so worried about Jesse. Let's go find a doctor and see if there's any news on Jesse then see if Nyssa and Vince are at this hospital."
"Yeah, let's do that." Leon answered and helped Mia up off the floor.
Brian took out Johnny Tran and Dom took out Lance. They raced the final strip of road. As they both cleared the train tracks less then a second before the train would have creamed them Dom hit, of all things, a transfer truck and the Charger was tossed like a bean bag into the air, did a 360 spin over Brian's car and landed, flipping over and turning the beautiful front end into a pile of twisted scrap metal. The whole car was a wreck and Brian was worried about Dom. Had the other man had his belt on?
"Dom!" Brian called and his friend didn't move. Brian ran up to the car calling Dom's name. Dom turned to look at him with a slightly pained look on his face, slightly stunned as well.
"That's how I woulda had mine." Dom said with a self depreciating grin as Brian helped him out of his once beautiful classic beast. The two men stood by the car for a second, Dom looking stoic and Brian worrying if the plan would work and if he was doing the right thing in this whole situation.
Brian held out his keys to Dom. "Go, go home."
"You know what you're doin'?" In his heart Dom had figured that Brian would turn them in. Once a cop always a cop. He'd never counted on Brian really caring about the team more then his career, once he'd known that Bri wasn't a down on his luck racer.
"I own you a 10 second car, plus I got this. It's gonna be ok, but you gotta get outta here. You're getting told that a lot today huh? I took you're charger ok. You took the supra after I shot Johnny, you tried to stop me. We were at racewars till Nyssa called to tell us that her'n Vince were in trouble ok. You need to remember that Dom. Got it?"
"I got it Brian. I trusted you once, I hope I'm not making a worse mistake doin' it again."
"You're not, but go." They could hear sirens. Dom took off. He really hoped that Brian was what he appeared to be.
AN: Getting close to the end now I think. :) Hope all the people really reading this are enjoying it still. I wanted to share this with you all.It's just curious to me so if anyone cares to leave their take on it in a review I'd be much obliged. I got this 'review' on this story.
dude that was the gayest scrypt ever. holy crap i almost shit my pants that so terrible. do us all a favor and dont write anything for a while.
Am I writing a script? Is it possible that I'm writing a scrypt and didn't even know? What is a scrypt? Should I stop writing? Do I suck? Maybe I should kill this story off? LOL, just thought you all might get as big a laugh out of this as I did. Then the same person was silly enough to send me harassing emails from what appears to be their real email account.
arrowsmith1@attbi.com hey dumass. the last line in the fast in the furious by dom was thats not what i had in mind. not thats not how i would have had mine. before you think your high and mighty by typing a "mistake you found" study the problem more carefully. dont just blow it your ass.
sincerely, better than than you
They go on to say.
arrowsmith1@attbi.com oh and another thing, all your stupid scrypts eat shit. there gay. dont waste space on this website with wannabe loser shit
Does this make sense to anyone? I'm so confused, it's very strange to be both puzzled and laughing your butt off at the same time. I mean, if she's gonna call me a dumbass she could at least spell the dumb part right. I think sentences start with capitals, or is that just me? I think I is a capital too. I think that the name of a movie is both in quotes or underlined, as well as having capitals, I think it's you're in this case, I don't own high or mighty. I never claimed to have found a mistake anywhere, I also believe it's don't not dont. I don't think that last thing in the first email is even a sentence in the English language. Also, I still don't think I write scripts or, as the case may be scrypts. Wouldn't it by they're? Can a script even be gay? I guess if it's a comedy it could be happy but I think the part of the movie I'm dealing with here is pretty morose really. Who's gay is it? The way it's written it must be someone's. Am I a wannabe loser? Maybe, anyone else agree? I just had to chuck that up there, I was laughing my ass off over someone criticizing me this bad with this many spelling, grammar and just general bad taste errors, But anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the story and got a laugh out that other stuff. I know I did. :)
