Here it is Chapter 3

Psymon finished signing a piece of paper and stood up. He was in a large office, with an old fellow rider behind the desk. "Are you happy can I go now?"

"Yes, thank you for your help," Mac said to Psymon. Psymon had last week finally did the Turntable Grind. But he needed money bad so he was forced to sell the rights to it. Of course the highest bidder was no surprise.

Psymon slowly headed out the door but turned back. "So you will forward the check next week right. Mac nodded to this and Psymon walked out. Outside of Macs office is a huge room full of cubicles. Psymon could hardly believe this is just one of the floors to BIG television. When he had an office here it headquarters looked like an old beat down office building you would find in a train yard or oilrig. But after they were bought out by Textman Mobile they moved the headquarters to a quite nicer place.

"Hey Psymon I haven't seen you in years!" A familiar voice called out as a young man stood up from his cubicle.

"Not enough," Psymon said under his breath. He hated Griff almost as much as he hated that Kaori. "Please don't talk to me," Psymon said as he tried to walk by him. Griff was now 18 and the only vet to still be in the circuit.

"Hey what the hell did I do to you!" Griff said raising his voice. He pushed Psymon, Psymon grabbed him by his collar and held him up.

Psymon tried not to hit the little spoiled kid. "What you did to me? WHAT YOU DID TO ME? You screwed me over. Besides sticking with your fellow riders you hid behind the owners and always took their side. You bribed, lied, cheated, and begged the owners to keep you. And left the superior riders to rot in hell!"

At this point the whole office was starring at Psymon. He dropped Griff and started to walk out of the building. He slowly got out and called a taxi. "Yeah get me to the corner of Richmond and 12th street," The Taxi driver then started the car and he drove Psymon to the corner he had asked for. Then he got out paid the driver and walked home.

He opened the door to his mobile home and sat down on the couch. He then realized he needed a beer so he got up and went for one. Then the phone started to ring. Psymon after grabbing his beer picked up the phone. "What is it?" Psymon asked in a grumpy voice. He wasn't in the mood to talk to someone.

But the voice on the other line wasn't really that affected by it. "Is this Psymon Stark the ex-SSX circuit boarder?" The voice asked.

"The one and the only what is it?" He asked the person.

"I am Katrina Ford. You may remember we met back when you were on the circuit. Anyway I hate to inform you the sudden death of my brother Brodi Ford. The funeral will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii and you are invited to come," Katrina said.

Psymon being shocked "Wow Brodi's dead? How?"

"He drowned during a surfing competition. If you want anymore information turn on the television and turn the channel to EA television," Katrina told him.

Psymon turned on the television but just before he hanged up. "I am really sorry for your lose. I am also sorry to say that I currently don't have enough money to attend the funeral,"

"It is okay, the competition stopped right after Brodi had drown. The competition has given us what would have been the award money. So we can pay for you to come," Katrina said. Psymon thanked her but decided to hang up the phone and deal with all the details with someone not as heart broken, as he knew Katrina was.

His attention then turned to the television. It was currently their little news section that was saying what was going to be on later that night. "It is the FFA street season kick off. Then highlights from the Snowstorm race from yesterday," Psymon watched for a while then during the half time of the soccer game it turned to the newsroom.

"Brodi Ford has died today during a surfing tournament. He is the second SSX veteran to have died this month. Moby Jones had died three weeks ago after getting shot by a robber," The newscaster said. Psymon then listened for a bit more before turning off the television and falling asleep on his couch.

Two Weeks Later

Psymon slowly got off of the plane. After going through everything you have to do in an Airport he slowly exited. Looking around he called a Taxi and hopped in. The cabby asked "Where to?"

Psymon reached into his pocket and pulled out a card then replied "The Waterfront Queens hotel," The cabby the started to drive. Once in front of the hotel Psymon got out and paid the cabby. Then he walked into the hotel and saw some familiar faces sitting in the front lounge area.

"Hey Psymon!" A voice called. It was Elise calling him over. With her was the other ex rider Eddie. He slowly walked up to them. "Huh so I guess it is true. Katrina invited all the ex SSX riders from the circuit,"

Psymon came and sat down with them. "Now I heard that I will be sharing a room with someone since they don't have to much money. So who is in room 731?"

This made Eddies eyes widen and kind of chuckle. "Well what do you know roomy," Of course Psymon sat their puzzled for a few seconds. But then he got up.

"Alright good to know, I will see you in the room I am bushed," Psymon said to them. He slowly walked into the elevator and went to his room on the 7th floor. Once inside he saw it looked like any other hotel with two beds and a bathroom. But then he looked outside and saw the great view it had.

He walked to the bed nearest to the window threw down his stuff and jumped onto the bed. He then wondered if they got EA Television. He turned on the television and flipped through the channels he realized that they got EA Television G not EA Television Sports. But he just shrugged it off and decided it would be better than nothing.

"Coming up next. Omaha Beach remembered on Battlefield, then Oddworld," The voice on the television said. Psymon watched it for a few hours before turning it off. He lie down and fell asleep.

Once he woke up he saw Eddie in a white dress shirt. "Hey your up you should start to get ready the funeral starts in about 45 minutes. Eddie then left the room.

Psymon got up right away. He walked to the bathroom and had a shower. Then got dressed slowly and exited the hotel. Once outside he called a taxi, which took him to the funeral home, where the ceremony would took place. Once inside he saw that the casket was closed. So he just took a seat in the back.

He looked around and saw basically all his old fellow riders. Except for Zoe which he knew didn't have the mental capacity to handle another funeral. And Griff who Brodi had always shown disgust against. Soon the ceremony started to take place. First was Katrina who welcomed everyone and was so glad they all made it.

Then Eddie walked forward to say some words. "Brodi was always a good friend of mine. He was a fellow rider in SSX. He always had shown compassion and kindness to almost everyone. He left snowboarding because he thought he had done all he could. He said he would leave because he had another sport that he was good at. And he could do well in it. So he would leave instead of someone who had nothing to fall back on. Which would have been the case if he hadn't left. Then he sent me some of his winnings when I was in the legal battle with SSX. He was a man with a heart ten times larger than anyone else. So I would like to announce that with the last of the money I have left it will be spent on building a statue of him in Merqury City. So he will never be missed and never be forgotten," Eddie slowly sat down with tears coming from his eyes. Once he had sat down Katrina went right to him knelt down and tried to comfort him.

An hour later the funeral ended and everyone left. Psymon took a cab back to hotel where he stayed for most of the day. Psymon was on his bed watching television Marty came into the room.

Psymon being very aggravated by the unexpected entrance said "Have you ever heard of knocking?"

Marty just shrugged the remark "Since we are the SSX riders are all together and probably for the last time we are going partying. Do you want to come?" Marty asked him. Psymon just nodded and got off the bed and followed Marty.

He met up with many other riders and they all walked into a dance hall/ party hall in the hotel full of people dancing. It looked just like a club with a bar and everything. Once inside Psymon broke away from the group and walked to the bar.

"Hey barkeep I'll have a beer. I don't give a fuck what kind just not American," The barkeep stared at Psymon before leaning down and filling a glass with beer.

The barkeep then handed it to Psymon. "Here you go, its called Fosters so don't worry its Australian not American," The keep said in a very sarcastic voice. Psymon just shrugged and started to drink it. He drank multiple beers and no one really bothered him.

The place was pretty quiet until a mini scream could be heard from the middle of the dance floor. Psymon turned around to see what caused it. He saw Mac and this guy both have their fists raised. Then the guy punched Mac right in the face making him almost go down. At that moment Marty punched the guy in the head from behind. Mac then punched the guy in the stomach. At that moment a beer bottle was broken over Macs head. Mac immediately went down. Then Nate punched the guy who had the beer bottle, which made the dude go down. Nate then started to kick the guy on the ground. At that point the hall turned into a all out brawl. Psymon got up and walked out. He didn't want to go back to jail.

Psymon got into an elevator and it started to go up. Once on his floor he got out. He walked to his room and opened the door. He could then see a very drunk Elise start heading his way. "Psymon!" she called. She then got right up to him. "Psymon have I ever told you how sexy you are?" She asked him.

He grabbed her "God you are really drunk," he said to her.

"Oh Psymon I love it when you talk. FUCK ME NOW!" She screamed. She then ripped off her shirt and jumped onto him. This made him be sent back into the room.

"Wow Elise stop!" Psymon called out. Elise then jumped off him, which sent him flying right onto one of the beds. She then started to unzip his pants.

The next morning Psymon woke up. He had a major headache he wondered how many beers did he have. Then he realized couldn't remember last night.

Well there you have it Chapter 3. R+R
