"I'm not stupid. It's blood 3 in the bloody morning. There's no way. I'm going back to sleep."

"I have your friend."

The color from John's face drained. "What? Who?"

"Ye'll know when you get here."

"I swear I'll kill you if you hurt him."

"Get over here and I won't hurt his pretty face."

"Pretty face? You have Paul?!"

"Is that his name?"

"Ye know, I don't think you have anyone. Yer just trying to get under my skin."

"Really? Is that what you think? I'm trying to get under yer skin? Want to hear his voice?"

"Okay. Okay. I'm on my way."

It was 10am. George, Paul and Ringo all met at a public pool to have a bit of fun. John never showed up. They thought nothing of it. Paul was the first to dive in the water. He came up to the surface and splashed some water on George, who was once again, relaxing in a chair.

"Ey! That's cold!"

"Get in the water! Stop resting!"

"No! Leave me alone!"

Paul got out of the water, looked at Ringo, and smiled. Ringo knew what he was thinking and nodded. Then, the two approached him. Paul grabbed his ankles, Ringo grabbed his wrists and picked him up.

"Ey! Put me down! Leave me alone!" He shouted and began struggling.

"No. Yer joining us."

"What?! No! Put me down!"

Ringo and Paul both looked at each other before Ringo spoke. "Okay."

He was thrown in the water.

After swimming to the surface, he glared at the two angrily. "That's not what I meant!"

"Oh. Really?" Paul asked smiling.

"Yer dead." George said grabbing Paul's foot and yanked him in the water. Ringo was the last one in.

After spending several hours in the water, Paul got out followed by the other two.

"What's the matter?" George asked.

"I don't know." Paul said starting to dry off. "Something. I can't explain it. Early this morning, I woke up with a bad feeling. I still can't shake it. Maybe something happened. I don't know."

"Nothing happened. We would know."

"Not really. We haven't been down at the office lately. We've been on vacation."

"Come on. Let's go to John's and see why he stood us up."

"He's fine Paul. He can take care of himself. He probably just forgot."

"We'll see. I just have to check. Wanna come with or wanna have me drop you off at home?"

"Come with. What's the harm in going?"

They all walked to the car and got in. Paul just sat there for a bit.

"What are you waiting for? Get going."
