15 Minutes To Destruction

"This is the home of Glenn Danson" the reporter said as he pointed to the house. "This young man the owner of the Tinsel Town Club in consecutive days saved multiple lives. First he rescued the popular band Jem and the Holograms from a terrorist attack, than he saved a young woman from certain death in preventing her from falling off the roof of his club. When reached for comment", the video than went to an attempted interviews by reporters to Glenn Danson outside his home.

"Mr. Danson, how do you know Jem?" one reporter identify as popular television personality Lin-Z Pierce asked. "Are you associated with the CIA?" another reporter asked. The reporters started to ask multiple questions, it was hard to understand what they were saying.

"I have no comment" Glenn said. "I am no hero, believe me, if you knew me, you would know how far from what you trying to make me out to be, that I am. So please leave me alone." Glenn shouted as he slammed the door in the reporters face.

The television playing this report was shut off; it was Glenn alone in his study. It was the following Sunday, three days since the suicide attempt incident at his club, four days since the attempted bombing.

"Why don't they get it?" Glenn said. "I don't deserve nor want this praise."

The doorbell rang, Glenn assumed it was another reporter, the door bell rang again. Glenn realized ignoring it wasn't going to work. He relented and answered the door.

"I told you, no interviews!" Glenn yelled. Glenn was surprised when it turned out not to be a reporter, but an old friend.

"Oh sorry Stormer, wasn't expecting you" Glenn said.

"That is okay, I realize from what I saw on television, this is a stressful time for you. Can't help but feel responsible for this. After all, I got you into this in the first place" Stormer said.

"Don't blame yourself, and come in Stormer, it is my fault I should of whore a mask like all super heroes" Glenn said. Glenn and Stormer laughed at Glenn's joke.

"I know how you hate attention, and prefer to blend to the background; otherwise you would have been in the Misfits yourself. You are talented enough; you can produce, arrange music, and play multiple instruments."

"It is not only the reporters, I have gotten offers to tell my story on the Lin-Z Pierce show, the Harriet Horn show, national and local morning shows like the Today Show and Good Morning America."

"Are you going to go on any of these shows?" Stormer asked. "You would do great Glenn, and you know it, you have a way with words. Just give them their interviews and be done with it."

"I know Stormer, and I have considered it. Though I am still waiting to hear from David Lettermen, if he allows me to read the Top 10, I am in" Glenn said.

"Enough about me" Glenn said. "How is your friend doing?"

"Clash is at a special center for mentally troubled people. Roxy, Jetta, and I have visited her a couple of times. I seen Video there every time, I don't think she has left her side. I think she blames herself for what happened. I know how she feels, because I equally blame myself."

"I know the feeling Mary" Glenn called Stormer Mary, whenever Glenn was serious he would address Pizzazz and Stormer by their real names, so Stormer knew Glenn was serious, Glenn looked at his locket. "I know the feeling."

"I know it might not be my place, but thank you for all you have done" Stormer said, as she than kissed Glenn on the cheek, and hugged him. "I know what this has cost you, and I am sorry." Stormer as she started to cry.

"Don't cry Mary, like I said you have nothing to feel bad about. In fact I am glad you did that, you kept that kindness and gentleness that made you special, you kept your promise." Glenn said as Stormer blushed.

"I know you hate the media praise, but don't sell yourself short Glenn, you have done a great thing the last few days. You are my hero."

"A hero hmm, I saved a bunch of strangers", Glenn went to a shell of pictures, one of which was of Karen and another one a picture of the Misfits among other pictures, "but when it comes to protecting the people I love, I failed." Glenn than knocked down all of the pictures like domino.

Stormer gave a frightful look, she had never seen Glenn like this. Glenn upon realize what effect this had on Stormer, immediately apologies. "Mary I am sorry."

"That is okay" Stormer said, as she helped Glenn pick up his pictures. She noticed a picture of a little blond girl. "Who is this Glenn?" she asked.

"That is my sister Karen" Glenn said.

"I didn't know you have a sister Glenn" Stormer said.

"I don't, she died 10 years ago."

"I am sorry Glenn."

"That is okay, she was killed walking the streets innocently by a drunk driver. I will never forget his face, and I will never forgive him. But I should have been there to protect her, a big brother is suppose to protect his little sister, I failed her, than I failed Phyllis and you girls, everyone I care about, I have failed. Yet everyone praises me, I can't stand it."

"Glenn don't be like that, I am sorry about your sister. But please don't let that guilt consume you, none of that was your fault, I am sure your sister wouldn't want that."

"You are right Mary she wouldn't. You would know Mary, because funny thing is, you have always reminded me of her. You are sweet and kind, no matter how I feel at the time, you always brighten up my day and make me feel good about myself. You do that for everyone around you. Karen was like that. No matter how I felt, she made me feel great about myself by just being her big brother. In a way you are like a little sister to me." Glenn said. "Sounds silly right?"

"No it is not, actually you are like a big brother to me."

"Really" Glenn asked.

"Yes you remind me of my brother Craig I always felt protected around you, and felt I could count on you for anything, just like with my brother. After hearing your story, I feel thankful, but I still don't see him as often as I would like."

"In way we used each other to feel a void." Glenn said, as he and Stormer laughed.

Flashback

Glenn stood outside of his office doing what he usually did, paying the evenings act their pay. Only this time, it was his old friend Mary 'Stormer' Phillips and her new musical partner Kimber Benton.

"Okay girls, great show" Glenn said. "Here is your pay" as Glenn handed them the money.

"Thank you sir" Kimber said.

Glenn turned his attention to Kimber when he said "Kid you should be honored and proud to play in this club, being a Hologram and all, this is Misfit territory, it is like playing in Moscow."

"Well I am not sure I am going to go back to the Holograms, but having Stormer with me made things easier for the crowd to accept me" Kimber said.

"Yeah without me, they would have tarn and feathered you." Stormer said, as Glenn, Stormer, and Kimber all laughed.

"Well it was fun" Kimber said "Good night."

"Yeah good night" Stormer said.

Kimber and Stormer started to leave when Glenn said "Stormer wait, can I speak to you privately?"

"Sure Glenn" Stormer said. Kimber was a little uneasy, Stormer told her "Don't worry he is an old friend."

"Okay I will meet you outside" Kimber said, as she left.

"Stormer why don't you come on into my office" Glenn said. They went into Glenn's office.

"Okay Glenn what do you want to talk about?" Stormer asked.

"I heard about what went down between you and the Misfits. Are you okay?" Glenn asked.

"I am fine now Glenn. I know now who my true friends are. I know now the Misfits never cared about me." Stormer said, trying to hide the hurt and sadness in her voice.

"Are you sure that is true, doesn't sound like the Misfits I know."

"Well maybe at one time they did care about me, but now anymore. When we started out, it was so much fun. Ever since you left Glenn, it is hardly any fun being a Misfit. Pizzazz's obsession with topping Jem and the Holograms, and the stress that goes with it, them constantly making fun of my ideas, and bully me into going along with Eric and Pizzazz's schemes, it is only so much I can take."

"Oh I see" Glenn said.

"Are you mad at me Glenn?" Stormer asked. "Do you want me to go back to the Misfits?"

"No it is your life Mary, I made a similar decision" Glenn said. "I just want you to make sure you are doing what you truly think is right."

"Why did you leave us Glenn?" Stormer asked crying. "Everything was great with you around, once you left things started to fall apart. The others changed so much, they are so selfish and mean. I don't think Pizzazz is capable of caring for anyone but herself."

Glenn paused when he heard that. An image popped into his head back to Pizzazz crying her eyes out at Karen's funeral.

"That is not true Mary" Glenn said. "I know Phyllis is capable of caring for others. I am sure it is the same for the other Misfits. The stress and pressure that Eric put on them, I had a feeling this would happen. But that is no excuse for mistreating you. I am proud you stood up for yourself."

"You really think they care about me?" Stormer asked.

"They show it in a different way. But we will find out with how they react. Just keep an open mind about them. Try to look for the good in people and not the worst of everyone" Glenn said. "The Mary I know always looked at the silver lining."

"Thanks for the advice Glenn" Stormer said as she hugged Glenn. "I at least know you care about me."

End of Flashback

"You know what" Glenn said "I am going to do it, I'll do those interviews, and hopefully it will make my 15 minutes end quicker."

"Oh Glenn really" Stormer asked.

"Yes really, it is time I embrass my 15 minutes."

"Hello everyone welcome back, I am Linz- Pierce talking with Glenn Danson, so Glenn how do you know Jem and the Holograms? Are you and Jem close? Some have speculated that you and Jem are an item and or her personal bodyguard." Linz – Pierce asked.

"First of all Lindsay thanks for having me on your show, to answer your question no I don't know Jem or the Holograms at all, and to be honest I don't even like their music that much , for reasons I will not comment on, I knew there was an attempted homicide on them, and I did what I could to save them. From what I know, they are nice girls, and I respect what they have accomplished in the music industry, but I don't have any professional or personal relationship with Jem or any of the Holograms. I will leave it at that."

"Okay sir, do you have anything you want to say to the public?" Lindsay asked.

"Yes I do first of all call me Glenn, anyway I don't see what the big deal about me is, I guess everyone has their 15 minutes of fame at some point, next thing you know some wannabe plumber get his 15 minutes of fame and wants to know what he thinks." Glenn says. Lindsay laughs at Glenn's joke as Glenn continued.

"I best make the most of it. First of all, I beg everyone watching don't drink and drive please you can kill yourself or someone else. I hate drunk drivers and anyone that drinks and drive ought to be locked up forever and shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air as anyone else." Glenn said the last part with rage in his voice that made Linz – Pierce a little uncomfortable. "Being the owner of the Tinsel Town Club, I know many upcoming bands, I advise them to choose any would be managers carefully, some of them are scum, someone like Eric Raymond for example. That is all I have to say. Thanks for having me Lindsay, it was a pleasure to speak to a beautiful and intelligent women like yourself" Glenn said.

A blushing Linz – Pierce said "Likewise, you were one of the more charming and fun interviews we have ever had. You are welcome back on the show anytime."

Eric Raymond turned off the television as he said "I can't take this anymore."

Eric was in his office watching television, this time Pizzazz was with him.

"Same old Glenn, he can charm the pants off of anybody when he wanted to, especially women" Pizzazz said.

"Focus Pizzazz, that man embarrassed us, not to mention he is obvious in conclusion with Jem and the Holograms. I mean why would he rescue them?" Eric said.

"I thought so too Eric" Pizzazz said. "But then he saved Clash."

"Only because she was trying to kill herself on his property, if Clash was going to jump somewhere else, he would have just walked by and not done a thing to help her. Something like that happening in his club would be terrible for business. He was only looking out for this business."

"No Eric, Glenn has never been like that, if he sees someone in need, he helps them. I don't know why he does it, let them help themselfs, but he just does."

"Neither the less, he knows something about Jem and the Holograms, he is obviously teaming up with them, to get revenge on us Pizzazz."

"Glenn has never been a vengeful person" Pizzazz said.

Flashback

Glenn and Pizzazz stand in front of Karen's grave on the one year anniversary of her death. The leave her flowers, and look at the grave.

"I can't believe that monster only got 60 days, and a one year suspended license. He is actually going to be able to drive again" Pizzazz said. "I hate him with all my heart, I wish I could torture him."

Glenn doesn't respond, a puzzled and tearful Pizzazz asked "Don't you want to get revenge on that man, because of his stupid act, Karen is gone."

"Revenge" Glenn said. "What good will that do? It won't bring Karen back, and being hateful like that, is something Karen wouldn't want."

End of Flashback

"Believe me I would know" Pizzazz said.

"Point is he is against us, and he needs to be dealt with. Don't worry I won't get you involved this time, since this Glenn situation is obviously tearing you up inside, but all I need from you is information, what is his weakness, I know there is something that is a sour spot in his heart."

Images popped into Pizzazz's mind, first was Glenn putting Karen on his shoulder, than Glenn holding his locket to his heart at Karen's grave site.

"No I won't go there." Pizzazz said

"What" Eric asked.

"I don't know anything Eric" Pizzazz said. She got up from chair and headed towards the door "There is no secret weakness, so drop it Eric!" Pizzazz slammed the door as she exited in a very angry mode.

"Fine be that way Pizzazz" Eric said. "I will find out his weakness soon enough with or without your help, in the meantime, I have another way to deal with Mr. Danson, I will need Techrat's help on this one, but first I better call in some more help" Eric smiled sinisterly as he called someone on the phone.

Eric said to the person on the phone, "Hello I have another job for you guys, this time you better not fail me."

It was the following Saturday night at the Tinsel Town club. Glenn was hanging out with the crowd, who congratulated him on his appearance.

"We saw you on TV" one of the people there said. "You were real funny."

"David Lettermen has got nothing on you" another person said.

"Maybe you should guest host the Tonight Show" another person said.

"Thanks" Glenn said. "But enough I just did what they asked."

Suddenly there was a high pitched noise that caused some of the windows to break and the place was shaking.

"What is going on?" one of the club goers asked. "Is this an earthquake?"

But no sooner did it start, did that weird noise and apparent earthquake stop.

"That is weird" Glenn said.

Someone tapped Glenn on the shoulder. Glenn turned around to see a man who looked like a thuggish punk.

"You should go into your office. There is a phone call for you. It is very important." the man said.

"How would you know that?" Glenn asked. The man just gave a sarcastic grin. Glenn gave the man an angry look. He realized something was going on, and he best get to his office. When Glenn got there, his phone was ringing.

Glenn answered the phone and said "Hello"

"Hello Mr. Danson" the man on the other line said. Glenn recognized the man's voice.

"Raymond what do you want?" Glenn said.

"I am just calling as a concerned citizen, I am afraid everyone is in danger. You best check your left speaker." Eric said.

"The left speaker" Glenn asked.

"Yes the left speaker, you better hurry." Eric said as he started to laugh.

Glenn hung up the phone, and ran to the stage. He looked at the left speaker and sure enough planted on it was a bomb timed to go off in 5 minutes.

Glenn took the stage microphone and said "Everyone we have to get out of here now."

The crowd was puzzled "I said get out now, you are all in danger!"

The crowd got out of the club, once he made sure everyone was out, Glenn ran out of the club, just before there was an explosion.

Sorry for the long wait. I needed to take some time to organize my ideas. I hope you forgive for the wait.
