San Francisco, Daniels's House 5:03 p.m.
"Mickey! Surprised to see you again!", Chloe said as she came down the stairs.
"Ah hell! Not her again" Eliot thought
"Planning on coming back to the club? Paul's been wanting to kick your ass since the night you left.", she said, taking a seat next to Eliot.
"Thought your hair was black?", Eliot said, taking notice to her now brown hair. He never took notice of her appearance since he had other priorities the night they met. She had a caramel complexion, with shoulder length brown hair, and funny colored eyes. Apparently Eliot was staring longer than he thought.
"Earth to Mickey! Did you hear a word I said?", Eliot shook his head no, "Listen, I know I'm beautiful but you're aren't my type. The whole urban cowboy thing is just not hitting it for me.", said Chloe.
"Don't flatter yourself, honey. I don't date children." Eliot replied.
"I'm nineteen, thank you very much."
"Like I said, don't date children. And you never answered my question."
"If you weren't so busy in the dreamland, you would of heard me say that I wear the hair and all black attire for personal reasons. I don't need those steroid freaks to know what I look like or my real name."
"So it's not Chloe?"
"Aw.. you remembered!", she smiled while batting her eyes, "Actually my name is Taylor. Taylor Laree Daniels."
"Well hello, Miss Taylor Laree Daniels" said Eliot
"So Mickey, am I going to have the pleasure of knowing your real name?" asked Taylor
"You do. It's Kane. Not Mickey." replied Eliot
"Oh yeah. You're a wrestling fan. Forgot about that." said Taylor
Before Eliot could respond, Bonnie came into the room.
"TAD!" Bonnie shouted
"BAM!" Taylor shouted
The two girls ran to each other and gave each other hugs. They took a seat on the same couch as Eliot.
"So I see you two are hitting it off." Bonnie started
"Yeah me and Mickey meet at the club about two weeks ago. He's the one who beat up Paul's guys.", Taylor responded
Bonnie looked at Eliot with curiosity, "So you're a fighter? That defiantly explains all the anger and hostility."
The hitter shrugged his shoulders. The two girls talked to each other until another woman came into the living room.
"Okay I'm all done in the basement.", the woman looked at Eliot, "and you must be Kane. Bonnie has told me about you." she walked over to the hitter, who stood up to shake her hand.
"Hello ma'am. You have a beautiful home." Eliot said with his wining smile.
"Thank you. I see you meet my other daughter. Did she give you a hard time?"
"No ma'am. I'm pretty good with children." Eliot replied.
"Very cute, Mickey." said Taylor
The woman laughed, "Well my name is Francine and a friend of Bonnie's is a friend of ours. Bonnie, call your driver in the house. I'm going to start dinner and no one's going back to L.A. hungry. Kane, make yourself comfortable."
"If you don't mind, I would like to help you. Cooking is one of my hobbies.", said Eliot.
"So you cook for people before you punch them? You're like that angry British guy on T.V.", Taylor said while going in the kitchen.
"Taylor hush. Kane… if you want to help, you can." Francine said before going to the kitchen with Bonnie right behind her.
Eliot took off his jacket and walked towards the kitchen. This was going to be fun, after all.
Lenny's Car 9:47 p.m.
After dinner and playing many games, Eliot, Bonnie, and Lenny finally left the Daniels's home. In the car, the questions Eliot had were still on his mind. And since they were going to be in the car for a while, he figured now was the best time to ask them.
"Bonnie…you have some explaining to do." Eliot started
Bonnie laughed, "Yeah I figured you would have questions. Ask away."
"You told me your mom was back in Jersey. So how do you know them?" Eliot asked.
"Short version or Long?" asked Bonnie.
"Shortest. Cause I got a lot of questions." replied Eliot.
"Father goes out and sees pretty waitress. Sleeps with pretty waitress. 9 months later, pretty waitress has pretty baby."
"Okay… still doesn't explain why you guys are close."
"So you do want the long version. My parents were having marital problems for a while. So the fact that my father was messing around, didn't surprise my mother at all. But Francine was different. I still don't understand it. After my parents divorced, Mom tracked down Francine in New York. Somehow they became best friends and made it their top priority to keep me and Taylor close.
Eliot nodded his head. Everything was starting to make sense.
"As a matter a fact, the only reason why I'm in California was because I staying with them to go to school."
Now that surprised Eliot. Bonnie had his full attention.
"Don't be surprised", she looked at Eliot's face, "I'm more than Kelly's Barbie."
"Sorry about that." Eliot said with a hint of guilt.
"Don't be. I came here with my whole life planned. I was going to be the modern day Rachel Carson. But I fell in love instead. You know the rest of my hopeless story."
He was about to ask another question when he noticed a car following them. All of his attention went to the car behind them.
"Kane, what's wrong?" asked Bonnie
"Does anyone know about Miss Francine?"
"No, I wouldn't dare put her and Taylor's life in jeopardy."
The car was beginning to speed up.
"Lenny! You claim you know California better than the alphabet right?" Eliot shouted
"Yeah."
"I hope you're ready to prove that. Bonnie get down on the floor.", she shook her head yes and did as she was told, "Lenny turn left and slow down."
As Eliot predicted, the car followed them and sped up.
"Now when I say so, you step on the gas alright?" Eliot told Lenny, who shook his head yes.
The car was reaching closer and closer…Eliot waited until he could hear the car's engine, "GO!"
On que, Lenny stomped his foot on the gas pedal, taking advantage of the car's three hundred horsepower. The other car rushed to keep up with Lenny, who was, thankfully, driving like a bat out of hell. The race spilled out into the highway and the car was starting to catch up to them.
"Bonnie are you okay?" Eliot asked
Before she could respond, their followers rammed the back of their car, causing Eliot to fall out of his seat and on the floor next to Bonnie. While they continued to ram the back of the car, they also started shooting.
"KANE WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO, MAN?!" asked a scared Lenny
"YOU KEEP DRIVING! TRAFFIC IS ABOUT TO GET HECTIC. I HAVE THIS UNDER CONTROL!" yelled Eliot
"UNDER CONTROL?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, KANE?! I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE THIS BUT THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US!" Lenny yelled back
"WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT UP AND DRIVE, LENNY!", Bonnie yelled.
In the midst of the three yelling, a bullet shoot through the back window, shattering glass all over Bonnie and Eliot.
"KANE, WHATEVER YOUR PLAN IS NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT IT IN ACTION!", yelled out Bonnie
At that moment, Eliot did the one thing he knew to do. He grabbed the gun from under the seat and pointed them out the now broken back window. He didn't like them but it wasn't like he didn't know how to use them. The shooting began but didn't last. With just three shots, Eliot shot the shooter in the arm, the front window, and the engine. The car immediately slowed down before finally stopping in the middle of the highway. He sat down and put the guns back in their place. Bonnie took a seat right next to Eliot
"Are you okay?" Eliot asked quietly
"Yeah. For some reason, this is becoming my new normal activity." Bonnie replied.
"Hey Lenny! How ya feeling, my man?!" Eliot shouted
"HOW I'M FEELING? YOU WANNA KNOW I'M FEELING, KANE? WELL LET ME SEE, MY CAR IS DAMAGED, I PROBABLY KILLED LIKE EIGHT PEOPLE WITH MY FAST AND FURIOUS DRIVING, AND TOP IT ALL OF, I GOT SHOT AT!", said a traumatized/angry/crying Lenny.
"So your alright then?" asked a tired/calm/amused Eliot
"I'M WALKING ON GODDAM SUNSHINE!", replied Lenny
"Technically, they weren't shooting at you. You're just kinda… here." said Bonnie.
"Oh that's just great! I'm in the middle of all this shit and I wouldn't even get acknowledged in death?!" asked a hysterical Lenny
"Pretty much." said Eliot and Bonnie at the same time
The rest of the ride was Lenny going on about how no one cares about him and the importance of his job. Eliot and Bonnie laughed at first but then they ignored the rest of his rant. If only they knew the heat they were walking into back at Kelly's mansion.
Los Angeles, Kelly's Mansion 12:54 a.m.
The trio finally made it to the mansion. They were met by Kelly and his men in the main dinning room.
"BONNIE! ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO LEAVE L.A. WITHOUT ME KNOWING! WHY DID YOU LIE?!
"Cause I knew you were going to act like this! As you can see I'm fine!", Bonnie replied.
"FINE?! YOU CALLED BEING SHOT AT IN SAN FRANCISCO FINE?!
She looked shocked.
"WHAT? YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR LITTE INCIDENT? AT LEAST YOUR ALIVE SO I KNOW SOMEBODY DID THEIR JOB RIGHT." said Kelly
Bonnie opened her mouth to say something but she was stopped by Kelly. He told her that they were going to finish their conversation upstairs. He told everyone to find something to do and they went to their room. Apparently everyone found something to do: stare at Eliot and Lenny. Just when Eliot was about to say something, Jake beat him to it.
"What the fuck is everyone staring at? My two partners did they job and Bonnie is safe. Did you hear what Matt said? Someone shot at Bonnie. So what do we do? We find them and retaliate! So move yall's asses! Let's go!"
The men moved from the dining room and did whatever Kelly paid them to do. Of course, J.C. was the only one who made himself present by bumping Eliot on his way out. Eliot glared at him, "Yep, he's a BIG problem." Eliot thought.
When everyone was gone, Jake looked at Lenny and Eliot.
"Well friends, we are going to the bar so you can tell me all about how a friendly visit to Moma Fran's house turned into a big highway shootout." Jake said while walking away.
Lenny and Eliot looked at each other and shrugged, they could use a drink after the day they had.
