Glenn said, "So can I give you guys a lift somewhere?" I said, "Right now…I'm going to the Emergency Room…for the damage done by Steam Boat Mark…other then that…Linda McMahon has a limo waiting out back for us…" Jaime said, "If you'd like to come…you're more then welcome…" I said, "James…stop flirting and let's go…go…wait…where's Sneaker?" I was feeling around on the ground for his leash…but couldn't find it…
Jaime said, "I don't know…I was so busy making sure you was okay…I didn't see where he went." We heard a scream down the hall…and Jamie and I said, "Sneaker." I whistled down the hall…and Glenn was standing there…and saw this huge Rotwieler coming towards us…and he backed behind us…Jamie said, "Problem?" Glenn smiled and said, "I like big dogs…but for some reason…they don't fancy me too much." Jamie said, "It's because you're so much bigger then them…they feel threatened…they think if they see you around their female owners…that she will get rid of him…getting a bigger model…" Glenn said, "Ooh…they still don't like me…"
Sneaker bumped my knee with his head…and I squatted down and said, "Just where have you been young man?" A feminine voice said, "Down in my dressing room…I'm assuming that animal is yours." Jamie said, "It's Trish Stratus." I stood up and said, "Sorry Ms. Stratus…Sneaker here…is a ladies dog…" Trish giggled and said, "It's okay…I was having my weekly honey full body massage, and he came in and was licking my toes…it just scared me a little." I said, "Sneaker…you know better then that…I really am sorry about the scare…honey is his weakness…" She said, "No…really it's okay…I don't mind a scare every once in a while…Hey…aren't you the new writer that Linda and Vince are bringing in?"
I said, "Yes…Sami Berg." I shook her hand…and she said, "Nice to meet you…when are you starting?" I said, "In about 3 days, when you guys leave…me, Jamie and Sneaker will be going with you." Trish said, "I really hate to pry…but someone said you was…well…Kind of.." I said, "Blind?" Trish said, "Yea." I said, "Yes…I am…no big deal though…I still got the job…just cause I can do the job." She said, "Cool." Jamie said, "Sam…are you ready to go?" I said, "Sure…it was nice meeting you Trish." She said, "Yea…same here…talk to you later." I said, "Okay."
I turned and walked with Jamie and Glenn…who couldn't stop sneaking looks at each other…While we were sitting in the limo…I shoved Jamie on the same side as Glenn…and I laid down on the other side…with Sneaker on the floor board by me…I was laying there…and Glenn said, "I didn't know you was blind Sami." I said, "Yea…one of life's unfortunate 'gotcha' jokes." Glenn said, "Was you born with out your vision?" I said, "Nope…I had it until I was 10…and then it was gone…"
Glenn said, "Without a reason?" I said, "No…there was a reason…I really don't wish to discuss it…Jamie you can tell him if you'd like…I'm sleepy." Jamie said, "Take a nap…it's going to be about another 30 minutes…until we hit the ER…with all this friggen traffic." I turned over and faced the back of the seat I was laying in and actually fell asleep in 3 minutes…
Jamie heard my breathing get slower and slower so she knew I was sleeping…Jamie said, "Sami was 10…and her mother in her drunken shambles found Sam playing in her make up after work…and well pretty much pitched a big ass fit…it ended with her mom grabbing her head and slamming her face first into the vanity mirror…and it shattered...some major damage was done to her, because shattered pieces of mirror shredded her corneas…no other damage came from it…the retina's, pupils and lens's were all in tact…the corneas have a major amount of scar tissue on them…not to mention a few slivers of broken mirror still in it…there was too much damage to save her sight…" Glenn said, "Jesus Christ…how awful…what kind of mother would do that…Will she ever get her vision back?"
Jamie said, "Yea, the doctors said once she hit 18, she'd be able to have a cornea transplant for both eyes…and it would restore her vision…so she's been on the waiting list for 2 corneas since she was 18…she's at the point now where she doesn't care if she ever gets to see again…I think she might be liking not having to see the world any more." Glenn said, "I can't imagine going through something like that…I think maybe Mark should apologize for knocking her over." Jamie said, "Only if he wants to…don't force him to…cause if she finds out you made him…well she can get pretty temperamental."
