Christine- "Well here we are girl." Shelley- "OMG Christine 'The Life' bar?" Christine- *shrugs* "Hey, when the weight's on your shoulders you just got to shake it off. Come on lets hit it." They get out of the car and into the bar. Once inside they are approached by a totally wasted man. Drunk man- *slurs* "Hey girls I was wondering if you would help me fix this problem I got going on down here. *wink*" Christine- "I think you should handle it yourself pal before I rip it off." He raises his hands up and backs away. Shelley- *laughs* "Damn, it's a good thing you aint kidding about that dick thing. Everyone in this town knows what happened to your last boyfriend." Christine- "Yep, it's a good thing he was too chicken shit to press charges." Shelley- "This may sound weird but how is he supposed to take piss without a penis." Christine- "Ok moving on. Hey two margaritas please." They take their seats. Shelley- "Thanks for getting me out of that house I thought I about to lose it." Christine- "That's what friends are for. Plus your like my sister we've known each other since we were kids." Shelley- *smiles* "Cheers to that." They clink and sip their drinks.
A few minutes later: Michael walks in the bar. One girl walks up to him. Girl- "Hey handsome what's a guy like you doing here all alone? Would you like some company." Michael looks back at her. Michael- "No thanks I get plenty of company." The girl presses her body against him. Girl- "Oh come on honey don't be like that. You just may find out how much fun I can be." She rubs her leg against his. Michael starts to get pissed. Michael- "And you just may find out how un-fun I can be. Now I don't like to repeat myself, back the fuck off!" The girl gives a scared look and walks back to her table. He thinks to himself. Michael- "Maybe this was a bad idea. Oh well I'm here might as well get a drink." He sits at the bar. Michael- *snaps fingers* "How bout a whiskey over here buddy." The bartender hands him his drink. He takes sip of his drink. Michael- "Why can't I get that gallery off my mind I've been doing this shit for most of my life. So why all of sudden do I feel so conflicted about it." He thinks to himself. He lights up a cigarette. Bartender- "I'm sorry sir but there's no smoking in here." Michael looks at him. Michael- "Oh I'm sorry dude. It's just that it's been a stressful day and my Scorpion buddies just hate to see me stressed." Michael gives the bartender a warning look. The bartender gets the message. Bartender- "Uh, I think I can make an acception."
After a few more drinks: Shelley- "Well it's getting late Christine I think we should head on home." Christine- "Yeah I guess you're right." As they're about to head out Shelley accidently bumps into someone and drops her purse. Shelley- "OMG I am so sorry." Michael- "Oh no I'm sorry it's my fault. Let me help." He helps her pick up her purse and they look at each other and then all of sudden they freeze. Michael feels his heart racing. Michael- "Uh, again I'm sorry about that." Shelley can't help but stare at this handsome guy. Shelley- "It's ok it's not your fault I can be a bit of clutz sometimes. Thanks for your help." Michael starts to become lost in her eyes but shakes it off. Michael- "Um your welcome. Well I guess I'll see you around then." Shelley- "Y-yeah maybe. Um see ya." Michael felt a little sad to see her leave but he figured it was probably best. Shelley couldn't stop thinking about that guy she just saw. Just as Shelley and Christine reach the car. Christine- "Oh shit, I forgot my purse. I'll be right back. Shelley- "I'll wait here."
A couple minutes later: Shelley is still waiting for Christine when she hears a strange sound from the alley. She shrugs it off but hears it again. Then she sees some sort of shadow. Shelley- "What the hell is that?" Normally Shell's a very curious girl so she decides to go take a look. When she reaches the alley to see what was making that sound she wished she hadn't. Man- "Hey hot stuff what brings you to my alley?" Shelley- "Uh I'm sorry I just wanted to see what was making that noise but I can see your busy." Shell starts to back away. Man- "Why don't you stick around? It isn't often I get visitors down here." Shell takes another step back. Shelley- "I'm sorry sir but I gotta get home." The man pulls out a knife. Man- "I don't take rejection well. So you better get your ass over here or you aint gonna wake up tomorrow." Shelley starts to run but the man catches up to her and pulls her into the alley. Man- "You shouldn't have done that. Now you're gonna be a good girl and do as I say and if you make a sound you die, got it" Shelley starts to tear up.
Michael couldn't stop thinking about that girl. He is just about to head on home when all of sudden he sees that girl he just met being dragged off by a man. Michael- "Oh shit!" He thinks he should call for help but he doesn't wanna startle the man who may end up killing her. He quickly but silently rushes to the alley. When he approaches the alley he picks up an old metal bat he found. When he takes a peak in the alley he instantly becomes furious. The man has Shell pinned to the ground. Michael assumes the worst and isn't about to sit around to find out. Michael quietly approaches the guy and taps him on the shoulder. The guy turns around and is knocked out in a blink of an eye. Michael- "Not on my watch you freak." Michael fiercely kicks the guy in the stomach. Shell who is stunned and shaken by what just happened backs away from the unconscious man. Then to her surprise the handsome guy she just met a few minutes ago is standing before her. Michael- "Hey are you alright?" Shelley is speechless.
