The Mugging
"The Knicks, Baby!" Joey jumped up and down, whilst he waited for Chandler to finish getting ready before heading to the game.
Chandler smiled as he watched his best friend; he hadn't been spending much time with Joey lately because of Monica. He felt like he owed Joey something because of it and because he was keeping the relationship a secrete from everyone.
"You ready, yet?" Joey moaned.
"Yeah, sure. Lets go," Chandler nodded and head towards the door. "Oh, I gotta stop off at the ATM to get some money…"
"What? Why? We're going to be late!"
Chandler look down at his watch "We got an hour, Joe…"
"I know but if we don't get there soon, we'll miss the cheerleaders!" Joey pleaded. Chandler couldn't help but roll his eyes, Joey looked like he was going to cry.
"Okay, fine, we won't stop at the ATM."
"YES!!" Joey grinned, slapping Chandler on the back.
"But, that means no hot dogs…."
Joey thought for a minute before opening his mouth, "I guess we have a few minutes to spare to go to the ATM…"
Chandler smiled at him, knowing, "okay then, lets get going!"
"We're going to miss them!" Joey moaned, as they waited in the line to the ATM.
"We're not!" Chandler reassured him, waiting for the women in front to finish at the machine.
"Finally!" Joey said, as she finished causing her to glare at him.
Chandler grabbed his money and was about to put in his pocket when a large figure stopped in front of them.
"Give me your money!" The guy growled, quietly.
"What?" Chandler asked.
"Money! NOW!" He demanded again.
"Look, Man! I've been waiting all week to see this game!!" Joey started, angrily, "now, we're late…. And I'm not in the best of moods!!"
"Money!!" The man cut him off, whilst reaching into his pocket.
Both Chandler and Joey backed away quietly, when they saw the flash of metal grabbing their attention.
Chandler swallowed the lump that rose in his throat and pushed the money into the man's hand.
"Look, we don't want any trouble…." Chandler told him. He couldn't tear his glare away from the handgun.
"Oh yeah…?" The man started off sarcastically, but was cut off by the sound of a mobile phone ringing.
Chandler froze, as he saw Joey reach into his pocket to grab the phone. The mugger panicked, not sure what Joey was pulling a t his pocket…he had no choice…
"No!!!" Chandler managed to scream, he saw the man raise his hand and aim the gun at Joey. It all seem to happen in seconds…the man appearing, demanding money… him pulling out a gun…. Joey's phone going off…. The sound of a deadly shot.
As Joey hit the floor, he felt dizzy and dazed before darkness settled over his eyes.
