When You Fight for Your Dreams: Chapter 10: Confessions....(Part 3)
#10 of When You Fight For Your Dreams
This is the 10th chapter of the 2nd arc of my story series. :)
DISCLAIMER: Part 3 of the chapter titled "Confessions" from my story. In this chapter, you'll see a couple of twists that you will NOT expect at all, and hopefully will lead into a REALLY good upcoming set of events in general.
Also, we get introduced to even more characters in this chapter, though some haven't been named yet (even though I plan on naming them eventually) but I do wanna thank the people that let me use their characters in this chapter, including Aquin who helped me get through A LOT of this chapter. (you might wanna ask him any questions you have regarding the scenes he's involved in though XD)
Special thanks to everyone again that let me use their characters in this chapter:

Hope you all enjoy! :)

"Tony.....TONY!"
"Hmmmm....w-wha? HNNNNNNGGGGG...."
Tony opened his eyes barely and stretched a bit, emitting a very big yawn and looking out the windshield.....to see a very familiar area that he was at only a week earlier.
"We're here Tony.....now you need to point out where it is."
".....Ugh.....my head still hurts......oh.....yeah I think I know where w-we are....this is the main part of the town.....yeah...take a right after this stop light." Tony pointed out, as he definitely knew what part of the town he was in.
"Where to after that?"
"You'll come to a road......I think it was North....North Pine Road." Tony replied.
"And then?"
"Can't remember exactly where it is, but I know it's a dirt road. Just look for one."
The two kept driving the Lancer up a road, and sure enough, the two finally made it to "North Pine Road", which again, Tony was VERY familiar with.
"Take a left here." Tony pointed out. As the two kept driving, they started to pass by several houses and LOTS of trees.....but at the same time, Tony was only looking for one thing in particular.
"........THERE, RIGHT THERE."
Tony again pointed out the road that Michael needed to pull on, and sure enough, the two found themselves on a dirt road, heading down a LONG path through a bunch of trees....and eventually coming out to an open area where the GIANT warehouse was staring right at them.
"Ugh.....I don't want to think about this...."
"Tony.....you ready?"
".....I don't know Michael.....I did something here last week that....well.....just wasn't like me."
"What did you do??"
".....never mind. Do you see any cars around at all?"
".....Not that I can see. Think the warehouse is empty?"
"Oh no, I'm sure that there's still plenty of stuff that Marco and his men left behind. I just hope that it can lead us to his motherfucking face."
"Well....just in case....grab your gun."
"I got it. Still don't know exactly what this thing that Aquin gave me is capable of though..."
Michael parked the car in front of the warehouse, and the two quietly got out, sneaking over to the same warehouse entrance that Tony, Sully, Junir, and Ord all invaded the week before to find answers about Mike.
".....Door's open....you ready?" Michael whispered, as the two had their guns in hand.
"Yes.....3....2...1.....GO GO GO!!!"
The two bolted into the warehouse, motioning their guns all over inside the warehouse and being ready to pull the trigger at any moment. However....the warehouse itself....was empty.
"YOU SEE ANYTHING TONY?" Michael yelled from one side of the warehouse.
"NOTHING HERE!" Tony yelled back. The two made sure 100% that there was nothing suspicious in the building, and then they deemed it clear.
"You sure they were here??" Michael asked.
"Oh believe me....this is where I shot that asshole." Tony pointed out with his gun facing the ground.
"......You....you shot someone?"
"Again.....I felt like I was almost being controlled by something....I have no clue what it was."
"Well....look to see if there is anything around......"
After the two finished a basic check of the place to ensure that it was safe to look around, then both Tigers started to really look through to see if they could find anything.
".....Seems like they cleared out mostly everything!" Michael exclaimed.
"Still smells like weed in here though."
"Yeah, looks like there's bits and pieces......OH HEY! TONY, OVER HERE!"
"What? What is it?"
Tony quickly ran over to see Michael grabbing a piece of paper....which was right next to a table itself that had a smashed TV next to it...as well as a broken chair with nuts and bolts all over the ground.
"Tony, look. It's a note."
The Tiger handed the paper to Tony, and the two both looked at it VERY carefully.
*IF YOU THREE FINISHED OFF THAT LION, MEET BACK IN THE BIG CITY WHERE OUR SUPPLIER IS AT. CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING OR IF YOU WERE TOO STUPID AND FORGOT WHERE IT IS. -MARCO*
".....Ugh....Not the city again...." Tony moaned out.
"....Do you know where they went??" Michael asked.
"....I don't know.....Sully, Ord, and myself all went to a warehouse in the city last week as well which is how we found out about here....but it looked like it was abandoned.....FUCK!"
"......Makes me wonder....the note says their supplier....I wonder.....should we pay another visit to a hospital to our little injured friend to see if he knows anything about this?"
"Yeah.....but then again....Aquin's not with us...so it won't be as easy this time to get answers. Either way, let's go. Might as well pay for Junir's hospital bill anyway so that that's one less thing he has to worry about himself."
With that said, the two grabbed the note, left the warehouse, and got back into Michael's Lancer so that they could head back to the hospital to get even more answers from Gordon, as that was the only real lead that they had.
****
"Oh wow! This place is HUGE!" I exclaimed as we all arrived at the Dave & Busters, which was not very far from the mall itself. After parking our five cars next to each other, we all got out as a giant group, and headed towards the entrance of the restaurant/arcade.
Even though Quetzal and Aquin drove their own cars to the building, they quickly held hands again as we all finally made it to the entrance.
"....Wow.....there's A LOT of lights on inside." Emon mentioned.
After walking in as a group, we were all pretty stunned at just how big the place was, and how many games there were as well.
"H-HOLY...."
I practically jizzed myself in excitement, as I truly felt like this arcade was meant for me in general. It made the other arcade in the mall look puny in terms of comparison.
"Hi there! How many people are in......HEY......aren't you...."
The waitress that was ready to serve us in the restaurant part of the building was simply staring in awe at both Sully & Ord at that moment, though she didn't pay attention to Gantu at all.
".....HOLY CRAP! You're Sully and Ord!" Another waitress exclaimed that was standing next to her.
".......well, as long as there's no cameras or news stories on us being here, yep, that would be us." Sully replied with a wide grin, while Ord scratched his head.
"W-wow! I used to watch you two on TV when I was....back in elementary school! Anyway....are you guys with everyone else here?"
"Yep, there's eleven of us here." Sully pointed out.
"Alright....right this way!" The human female happily said to all of us.
We all were seated at a GIANT table that looked more like it was meant for parties and whatnot, but then again, it was pretty dead at the place just like it was at the mall.
Everyone pretty much sat together as a couple, especially Aquin and Quetzal. It made me feel a bit lonely since...Tony wasn't there.....but sitting inbetween Ord and Junir did help a bit.
"Well, Junir, Kumi, and I already ate.....so I probably won't be getting too much..." Gantu mentioned to all of us.
"Gantu....get whatever you want. We're treating everyone here, and I don't want to hear anyone objecting to that." Sully told all of us.
".....r-really? You sure?" I asked, which ultimately lead to a few other people asking the same thing.
"Guys.....put your stuff away. We've got it covered. Get what you want."
"Well....I am kinda hungry....." I mentioned, as I started to look through the menu.
"Same here....." Ord then mentioned as he rubbed his large belly while sitting next to me.....which I thought looked kinda hot.
Eventually, we all decided what we wanted to order and finally decided to order our food & drinks.
*****
"Whew! It's fucking hot in there!"
".....How's the shit doing in the greenhouse there, Sylvan?"
"Pretty good Marco.....we're going to be able to pack at least 15 pounds of this stuff over the next few hours I think. Drayike is already starting to do so."
"Good.....HEY ISSAC, HOW'S THE PACKING COMING ALONG?"
"JUST FINE MARCO!"
"Good.....looks like we need to make a shipment today.....I just hope those other three get my fucking note.....they better have not fucked anything up. I've already had to resort to working here with Duco until all this shit stops with my men screwing us over..." Marco said and thought to himself.
*BANG*
Just then, the front door of the warehouse opened fiercely, and it was another one of those perfect timing moments it seemed.
"Yo boss."
"....Good, glad you three got my mess....age......hey wait a second...."
Tristen and Jamie both arrived back at the warehouse that Marco and Duco's henchmen were currently working at....but it didn't take long for the white tiger to notice that one of his own men was missing.
".....Where the fuck is Gordon...." The boss asked with a pretty fierce tone.
"......Oh....well....about that....."
Both Tristen and Jamie backed down a bit to the boss, since they knew he wasn't going to like what they were going to explain to him.
"First off.....before you even explain where Gordon is....did you kill that motherfucking Lion like I told you to?"
".....like I said boss......a lot of shit went down......but here's what happened....."
Jamie started to explain how the three went to the hospital and got in position to finish off the injured Lion.....but then several events went down afterward that prevented from doing so....including a Dragon helping the Lion get away.
"So overall.....no....we couldn't kill him.....but we had no fucking idea that a Dragon was going-"
".....I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!!! YOU WERE GIVEN A TASK, AND YOU SHOULD HAVE FINISHED IT!!!!"
The boss screamed right at Jamie and Tristen's face, which ultimately caused the other four henchmen that worked for Duco to come running over to see what was going on.
"What's going on here?? Who are these two??" A black-tipped reef shark asked.
"THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU ISSAC." Marco yelled back.
"Easy Marco....easy....come on....calm-"
"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" *SMACK*
"Gahhhh!"
The tiger grabbed the only female in the warehouse there that worked for Duco (who happened to be a Cheetah named Nikki), and slapped her hard across the face, as he was clearly acting ruthless at this point.
As Nikki fell to the ground, everyone else around Marco, including Tristen and Gordon, backed down from the boss, though the boss kept following the two and got right in their faces, as he still wanted answers. Duco was still not there at that moment either.
".....GRRRR......GRRRR.......GRRRR.....OK.......Ok......I'm going to calm myself down.....cause you still haven't finished explaining everything to me you two." Marco demanded, though he was speaking a bit calmer than a few seconds beforehand.
"......Boss.....we tried everything we could.....we shot at the dragon....but then some asshole in a fucking truck sideswiped Gordon and we had to bail."
"................................."
"...........Gah!" "B-boss.....STOP IT!"
*SMACK*
*SNAP*
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" "FUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!"
"TRISTEN!!!"
The large tiger was so angry after hearing what happened to Gordon....that he grabbed Tristen by the arm since the Orca was standing closer to him, twisted it around his back, and then grabbed one of his fingers and bent it backwards as hard as it could until it snapped.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK!! AGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!"
"YOU BETTER BE GLAD THAT I'M NOT GOING TO PUT A BULLET THROUGH YOU TWO SINCE WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS.....BUT I BETTER NOT SEE YOU TWO HERE ANYTIME SOON. YOU TWO BETTER PROVE THAT YOU'RE STILL WHO YOU ARE WORKING FOR ME, AND IF YOU DON'T, THEN DON'T COME BACK!"
*BANG*
The boss shoved the two outside of the building and slammed the door behind them.
"FUUU-"
"Tristen.....don't move it....."
"FUUUCCKKK....It hurts like hell!!!"
At that moment, the large orca and bull both felt like they had been left in the dirt, and kicked out of the gang in general. The boss clearly didn't want any part of the two, and the only way that the two would be able to get back on the boss's good side would to be ultimately proving that they had not gotten soft and that they were still going to get the job done by any means necessary.
"We gotta figure out something...otherwise we won't stand a chance getting to have some of that paper that Marco and the others make!"
"......F-fuck!!.....Fuck! Get in the c-car Jamie...."
The two got into their vehicle that was parked in a pretty dark back alley next to the warehouse, and turned on their car.
"......I ain't w-working for that crazy motherfucker anymore. FUCK HIM. GAHHH!!"
"what......you serious??"
"Y-yeah! He fucking broke my finger!!! I'm not letting him control me anymore! Aghh!!"
"What are you suggesting??"
"I don't give a fuck! I'm not doing anything he says! He was a-acting way too fucking crazy! L-let's just go!"
".....so are you saying that you're better than the boss....and me?"
*O_O* "H-huh?
"......Sorry Tristen....."
".....W-what?? W-what is it? A-agh!!"
"I've come too far to leave the boss, and I want to finish what I started since I failed what I didn't accomplish. And if you don't want to join me.....then FUCK YOU."
*BANG*
"........."
"........"
*SLAM*
"Looks like I'm going to have to finish this shit myself. But first off.....time to pay another visit to someone...."
*VROOM VROOM VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
*****
"What was that?? I heard a bang outside!" Nikki exclaimed after getting up after Marco slapped her.
"I heard it too! What the.....HOLY SHIT!"
"What the fuck is going on now??" Marco shouted, still acting in a pissed off mood.
"T-that Orca.....That orca that just left......he's on the ground here! He's been shot!!"
".......Good. At least Jamie's proving who he is." The boss thought to himself.
"What should we do Marco? I don't know if he's still alive or not!" The reef shark asked.
"....What do you think. Dispose of him, whether he's alive or not, dumbass." The white tiger replied, in a VERY coldhearted way.
*****
"Wow! That was AMAZING!!!" I exclaimed after finishing up my meal where I created my own fajitas in front of me.
"Yeah, this steak really was good!" Gantu happily exclaimed.
*BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPP*
"Whoa....holy crap heh."
Ord let out a HUGE belch after he was finished eating, and rubbed his belly again after eating his GIANT meal. Again, I actually thought it was pretty sexy when he did that.
Most of the others were still eating, but eventually, we all finished our meals, and Ord & Sully covered the whole bill for everyone, even though we all put in a nice tip for our waitress.
After we were done eating though, I had one thing on my mind, and that was to play the HUGE selection of games that they had in their arcade area. I already had a game card beforehand, though most of the others with me had to get their own new card.
"Damn, they have A LOT of games here!" Junir mentioned as he walked up behind me as the eleven of us made our way over to the actual game area. We all split up into groups to do our own thing, and once again, it was pretty funny how I ended up with Junir....and Dracon as well.
"Yeah they do....wanna face me in some basketball?" I asked the Lion.
"Hey....don't leave me out!" Dracon added, scratching his head a bit.
"Oh...you wanna try to beat me too?" I playfully suggested.
"You're going DOWN Mike." Dracon exclaimed. With that said, the three of us started to play the linked arcade basketball game near a bunch of other sport-related games in the section of the arcade.
****
"What do you wanna play hun?" Sully asked his mate, as Chowder was also with them.
"It sucks that they don't have any Kingdom Hearts arcade games out in general.....oh ....hey....let's play this Terminator game!"
"Wanna join us Chowder? It's for up to four players."
"Y-yeah sure!" Chowder stuttered a bit, since he still couldn't really get his mind 100% off of thinking about everything that happened in his own restaurant. The tiger still joined the other two though and started playing the game with them.
****
".....Oh wow....Daytona USA!" Kumi exclaimed.
"Let's go hun....you and me. The person that wins gets to be on top tonight. Hehe."
"Deal!"
The whale and bear each sat down and swiped their game cards, and started up the game. It was definitely a race worth more than just bragging rights for the two of them at that moment.
****
".....So this is an arcade.....interesting...."
Even though Aquin and Quetzal were together as a couple, Emon also kept walking behind the two, since everyone else was pretty occupied at that point.
"You've seriously never heard of an arcade before?? What am I going to do with you.....ugh...."
The Gator pretty much facepalmed right then and there while Emon kept observing all the bright lights and the machines that were staring at him left and right, while Quetzal just looked on at the two and emitted a little grin.
"Emon....seriously.....if you're going to be a part of my club....you HAVE to get with the times here....this ain't the fucking 1800's."
"Jeez Aquin...calm down! I'm sure I'm not the only person that's never seen an arcade before.....but it looks like the others are having a lot of fun....what do you two want to do?"
"....I don't know....none of these games really appeal much to me....I've played most of these on my gaming consoles and my PC too..." Aquin replied, still looking at the machines.
"Hey...what's that machine?" Quetzal asked, pointing out a game that was straight ahead of the group, which was also next to the prize mall in the arcade.
".............wait.....what the fuck??"
"W-what is it Aquin?"
"Amigo.....Que Paso??"
"........It.....it was released....TO THE PUBLIC???"
"What are you talking about Aq-"
"SHUT UP Emon! This is none of your business! Why the fu-"
"AQUIN! Cálmate!"
The Dragon put his two hands on his mate, and ultimately calmed his mate down in front of the mage, though the Gator was still pretty irate over seeing what was in front of him.
"Now talk in a calm way....Emon has done no harm to you Vato, so please....just explain what's wrong!"
"......ugh....this day just keeps getting.....ugh....what the fuck Leatherhead."
"Wait....leatherhead? What does an arcade game have to do with him?" Emon asked.
".....Ok, I might as well explain it. This machine right here was built by leatherhead himself as a training game specifically for only himself and me too. Unless he released the source code or something to the public.....I have no idea why I'm seeing this machine in front of me.
"Oh wow....Yeah....Leatherhead never said anything to me about anything like this either." Emon mentioned.
"Then again.....I doubt that this place would have the original version that we had back at the club....I mean...this is a public place.....so this game had to have been modified in some way cause....to be honest.....the one back at the club wasn't exactly safe."
"Well....you're standing in front of it.....but are you going to play it?" Emon asked the Gator.
".....Might as well, I could use some more training after everything that happened earlier. Haven't played an RPG in quite awhile anyway. "
"Alrighty.....let's see it!" Emon asked in a bit of an excited way.
"......Do you know what you're doing hun?" Quetzal asked Aquin.
"....Believe me, yes I do. Matter of fact.....I'll try to go one step further than what I usually do."
The game started up, and the game itself could be seen through a monitor outside of the playing area for everyone to watch, which was what Quetzal and Emon did right then and there.
*ENTER YOUR NAME*
*SELECT YOUR CHARACTER AND YOUR RANK*
"I guess Aquin's going to show us what he's made of!" Emon exclaimed to Quetzal.
"He's a strong fighter. This game certainly looks like it will test his strength since he said he hasn't played it in a long time." The Dragon replied, while looking on as well towards his mate, who was pretty much enclosed into a virtual-like chamber that literally brought a real life RPG experience to the player.**
*****
"BBUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
"YEAH!!" I exclaimed, as I beat Junir and Dracon by only a few points in our VERY long basketball game.
"Pretty good shooting there Mike!" Dracon exclaimed.
"Yeah Mike, when did you learn to shoot like that?" Junir then asked.
"Oh....well I had a game like that at my house, but it was a much smaller version.....maybe I learned it from playing that heh." I replied, scratching the back of my head.
"Yeah.....sure. heh. What do you guys wanna do next?" Dracon asked.
"Wanna try out Time Crisis 4 over there?" I asked.
".......THEY HAVE TIME CRISIS?!?!" Dracon nearly shouted, running over to the game as I pointed it out.
"I guess that's a yes then, heh." Junir added.
"Actually....it's only 2 players....do you wanna play with him? I kinda wanna try out some skee ball." I asked.
"....I wanna play with him in more ways than one, if you know what I mean. Hehe." Junir replied, nudging me on the shoulder. I winked back, and the two of us split up right then and there so we could do our own thing."
****
"GOAL!!!"
"Damn!"
Kumi pumped his fist as he crossed the finish line JUST before Gantu did, and the bear was VERY riled up after winning the match against his mate.
"No fair! My brake wasn't working right!" Gantu replied, in a teasing way but also being somewhat serious.
"Looks like you lost the bet Gant'."
"REMATCH!" Gantu nearly shouted.
"Nope...won't happen.....oh wait....ok, you'll get a rematch....but only if I select the game we play. And it's double or nothing too."
"DEAL. Which game do you wanna play?"
".....hmmmm....OH.....YES. THERE."
Kumi pointed his finger at the game that was right across from Daytona.
"....Virtua Fighter 5? Oh this will be easy." Gantu replied, cracking his knuckles a bit."
The two walked over to the fighting game, but Kumi had a small grin on his face the whole time as the two swiped their cards to put the credits into the game.
"SELECT YOUR CHARACTER" The game emitted.
Kumi grinned widely as he picked Pai, while Gantu picked Kage Maru.
"You're going down and I'm going to be going down on you tonight!" Gantu exclaimed.
"....I don't think so."
*ROUND 1.....FIGHT!*
*BSSH BSSH HAIIIIYYYYYYYAAAAA!!!!!!!*
*BANG BANG*
*K.O.!* *PERFECT!*
"......W-what the hell?!?!"
Gantu stood in shock as Kumi literally performed a 7 hit combo in less than 5 seconds....ultimately knocking his character out before he could even react.
"1 more win and I get double the pleasure over the next couple of nights, hehehe."
"Alright....time to focus....no more bullshit here." Gantu replied, carefully gripping his joystick with his VERY large hand and getting ready to press the buttons.
*ROUND 2.....FIGHT!*
"BSSH BSSH BSSH HAIYYAAAAA....HAH! BSSH....BSSH....BSSH BANG....BANG....BANG...BANG.....HAI.....YA!*
*K.O.!*
*WINNER!*
".................."
"Looks like I'm being on top tonight AND tomorrow night! Hehehe."
"Damn you!"
Kumi smiled after beating his mate twice in a row easily, without even coming close to breaking a sweat.
"....just how did you do that though?? It's like you're an expert at this!" Gantu asked, as he clearly had a frustrated look on his own face.
"Gantu....don't you remember?? I used to work at an arcade in Tokyo....and we had this game. Heh."
"Awww...no fair.....oh well....hey let's play some ticket games now."
"Sure thing."
****
"..............."
"Let me check your vitals Mr. Kelsey, we need to see how you are." A nurse mentioned as she walked into the injured human's room in the Elmhurst hospital.
"...I wish I was fucking dead.''
"....Don't say that Gordon.....you can change your life around if you behave."
"Pfft....yeah right. Once I get released....I'm going to prison and never coming back."
"....well you've been very cooperative with me though.....I think you'll be able to turn around at some point."
".....whatever."
".....Alright let's see here.....ok, your vitals seem good, your injuries are healing pretty quick too! I'd say you should be clear to leave this place soon!"
"....And that's supposed to be a good thing?"
"Well I'll go grab something for you to eat...I'll be back."
The nurse walked over to the door, where a policeman was standing outside once again. However, as the nurse walked outside....
"......Oh.....didn't see you come in and switch with Roy out here....."
"Y-yeah.....I'm taking his place while he goes out to eat."
"Ah ok. I'll be back with some food for him."
"Sounds good!"
The nurse left the area.....but then the cop....walked into the room.
".............................................."
*O_O*
".......Hello there Gordon."
"......J-J-JAMIE??"
".....Yeah. It's me."
"W-what are y-you doing h-here....in a cop uniform?!?!"
"Got the uniform by taking one of them pigs down and ditching his body behind the hospital........ but I came here to give you a message from Marco."
"....w-w-w-what??"
The human found himself sweating a bit after hearing Marco's name being brought up, especially since the bull was standing right in front of his hospital bed....with a VERY malicious look on his face.
"You're weak, you failed the task you were given, and now you won't live to tell anyone else about us. Goodbye."
"W-WAIT JAMIE! N-"
*PEW PEW PEW*
"..........................."
*SCRUFFLE*
"....................."
With that said.....the bull quickly left the room, and bolted down the stairway near the room as if nothing happened.
******
"I'm back Mr. Kelsey with your....oh...OH MY GOD!!!! GAHHHHHHHHHH!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!!"
****
*GAME OVER*
*NEW HIGH SCORE!!!!!*
"Wow! You really put on one hell of a performance Aquin....hey....Aquin?"
*PANT....PANT*
"Aquin....you alright?" Emon asked while Quetzal wrapped his arm around Aquin's shoulder after Aquin came out of the side entrance of the virtual machine.
"....Y-yeah....that game just took its toll on me a bit....been awhile since I played it back at my place....but then again, it doesn't feel like the same game anyway. There were definitely a few things changed around in it. I still can't fucking believe that Leatherhead released this to the public..."
"Wow, hey look, it's showing your high score on the TV's around the area here Aquin! Oh yeah, do you still have the original machine back at the club?" Emon curiously wanted to know.
"Y-yeah but it's stored away though I think in one of the closets in Leatherhead's lab. We haven't used it in quite awhile."
"Maybe I should give it a try sometime, heh." The mage insisted.
".....Well....I guess.....but you'll have to ask Leatherhead about that....I doubt you'll be able to handle some of the things I went through in that game." Aquin replied, still catching his breath.
"Heh....I'm always up for a challenge though."
"We'll see about that, trust me."
"So....what should we do-"
"E-excuse me....."
At that moment....the three heard a voice near them....which sounded like a little kid's voice. When they turned around, sure enough, a little human boy was standing mainly in front of Quetzal, with his mother near him.
"A-are you Q-quetzal from the Dragontales.... show?" The little kid asked, who looked to be around 7 or 8 years old.
"Hola! That would be me, yes."
"O-oh wow!! I love watching you on the TV show when it comes on!!" The little boy nearly shouted in excitement as he looked at the big yellow dragon that was towering over him.
"Do you mind if I take a picture with you and my boy here?" The mother of the boy asked, as she was definitely overwhelmed by the Dragon's tall figure as well.
"Of course not! Come here little guy, what's your name?"
"Bobby!" The little boy replied.
"Well smile Bobby for your mom here!"
Quetzal picked up the kid and put him on his shoulder and the two happily posed together as the little kid's mom took a picture of the two. It was definitely a cute moment, but at the same time, Aquin was also standing right next to Quetzal, and nearly leaned in on his Dragon mate right after the picture was taken.
"Thank you so much!" The mother happily exclaimed after Quetzal gave the kid a hug.
"Thank you two for being fans of the show! Hope you keep enjoying it Bobby!" Quetzal replied. After that statement though, Aquin leaned onto Quetzal while he continued to catch his breath after beating the game.
"Thanks Quetzal! Let's go Mommy, that Alligator standing next to Quetzal looks scary!"
".....A-alright Bobby!" The mother replied, though she then mouthed at the Gator "I'm sorry!" as she knew that her son said the wrong thing right then and there.
However, Quetzal and Emon got a good laugh out of it.
"So I guess people think you're scary? That's no surprise. Heh." Emon replied, patting Aquin on the back.
"Don't touch me Emon. I'm in no mood right now, I have.....h-hardly any energy left." The Gator replied, still holding onto Quetzal.
Just then...
"JACKPOT!! YES!"
"....hmmm??"
"Oh look.....looks like Michael won on that skee ball game." Quetzal pointed out.
****
"YES!"
I clinched my fist in excitement as I hit 450 points on skee ball, which was ultimately worth a 1000 ticket jackpot.
"Mike? What Ha-.....oh nice!"
Gantu walked over to me with Kumi, and the two had some tickets in their hand as they watched the tickets come out of the skee ball machine that I was playing.
"What games have you guys played so far?" I asked the two. It was then that I also noticed Aquin, Emon, and Quetzal walking back towards us.
"Oh, just a few games here and there. Kumi beat me pretty badly when we played Daytona and Virtua Fighter against each other.....dammit....I wanted to be on top tonight....oh well. Hehe."
I sort of blushed a bit when Gantu mentioned how he was going to have some fun with the bear standing next to him....and it almost made me wish I could be with them as it happened. It ultimately made me put my head down as I secretly did want to perhaps have some fun with the two, but at the same time, I didn't want to intrude on them either.
At that same moment though, I then noticed that when Aquin came up to us, he seemed like he was out of breath.
"....did you play DDR or something Aquin?" I asked curiously as I started to stack up my tickets while they kept coming out.
"N-no.....I played something much more enduring than that Mike." The Gator replied.
"....o_O Really? More enduring than DDR? I'd probably faint then since I don't have a very high endurance level when playing DDR in general, heh." I replied.
"Y-yeah. MUCH more enduring than DDR, by a longshot."
"So....what do you guys want to do now?" I asked.
"I'm t-too tired to play anything else right now....gotta catch my breath for a bit here." Aquin mentioned.
"I kinda wanna get home now so that I can cash in on my winnings, heh." Kumi then mentioned with a bit of a laugh and smirk on his face.
It was then....that I just let the words out.
"......I wish I could join!" I mentioned sort of sarcastically, but at the same time, I was being a bit serious. I really shouldn't have said that in front of the others though, mainly because Aquin, Emon, Quetzal, and especially Kumi and Gantu looked at me in a pretty unusual way. However though, Gantu and Kumi did eventually smile at me as I finished collecting my tickets, and the big whale mentioned:
"Well Kum', looks like you may have won the jackpot instead of just your bet! Haha!"
"I guess so!"
With that said, I blushed very heavily, though I still couldn't tell if the two were being serious. Either way, the six of us walked over with the tickets that we had (even though Aquin, Emon, and Quetzal didn't have any with them) and went to go cash out.
****
"....Damn.....I.....I think it's time....to call him...."
"...................................."
"......b-but should I?? That fallout....between us....fuck....why did I ever stand up to him.....why did I ever argue against the man that.....that....I care about......ugh....."
".......but then again.....he'll like it if I can somehow recruit whoever the hell displayed that shit on that game at that Dave & Busters*.....that person is definitely not normal.....yeah.....I should call him."
*BEEP BEEP BOOP BOOP BEEP*
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG*
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG*
"Who is this."
".....................I-It's me....Marco...."
"...........you.....why the fuck are YOU calling."
"......I....I needed to call you Marco. I know you're still mad....over that bad deal we had with that group back in November........b-but.....I want to make up for what I did....."
"Give me one fucking reason why I should even consider letting you come back after all that bullshit our group went through, and then you fucking ditch us. You should be thankful that I didn't hunt you down and blow your fucking brains out."
"......I just don't feel the same without.....without...."
"Without what."
"....you guys.....I feel like I've gotten soft....and you know me Marco....I'm not like that at all."
".... you're not allowed back here until you give me one good fucking reason to let you back, much like Jamie proved earlier."
".......I...I understand. B-but....wait....what did Jamie do??"
"He proved who he was, and that no one would hold him back from where he belongs. You do the same, or else you're gonna be digging your own grave otherwise if you come back here."
".....Understood Marco.....I'll do what I can...."
"....Jeez, you really have fucking gotten soft Quantum. No wonder I completely forgot about you. Pfft." *CLICK*
"..........................."
".........What did he say? Have I really fucking gotten THAT soft?!?!"
"........Time to show him that I'm better than that."
With that said, the blue snake hustled off in a very angry way towards the entrance of the mall, almost like he needed to do something drastic to prove to the one guy he liked, to be let back into the gang that he used to be a part of.
****
After cashing my tickets out along with Gantu and Kumi, the three of us got a few small prizes (though I did get a nice set of headphones with the tickets I won from the jackpot on skee ball) and eventually finished up everything we were doing at the arcade itself.
It wasn't long before Sully, Ord, Dracon, Chowder, and Junir joined up with us as well, and with that said, the eleven of us were together again as a group. I noticed that Junir and Dracon were still eying each other from time to time, and I kinda figured that it would only take a bit of time before the two finally confessed to one another.
"So I guess it's off to the bowling alley now?" I asked curiously, but also with a bit of excitement as we all left the Dave & Busters.
"Yeah!" "Definitely!" "Can't wait to see it!" "What's...a bowling alley?" Several voices around me spoke out, including Emon's final question which ultimately made Aquin facepalm again while the Gator started smoking a cigarette.
"Awww thanks guys....I can't wait to show it to all of you. You'll really like it." Dracon replied.
"How far is it from here?" Gantu asked.
"It's on the other end of the town, so roughly a 10 or 15 minute drive. I'm gonna fly there though if that's alright with you guys."
"What's the address of the place?" Gantu then asked as we all started walking towards our cars, which were all parked near each other.
"3 Seaport Road. You can't miss it, it's right near the water near the drawbridge. Do you guys need any help at all getting there?" The Dragon asked.
"Nope." "We have our GPS, so it won't be a problem." "Yeah, I have my GPS too." "I know where the drawbridge is, so I'll find my way there." A bunch of voices emitted around us.
"Alright then, I guess I'll be taking off then."
"....Wish I could fly..." I mentioned with a bit of a laugh as everyone started to get into their cars, and as I put my things into Sully and Ord's vehicle.
Apparently though....those words turned into something that threw me off completely.
".....You want to fly Mike?" Dracon then asked me before he was about to take off.
"...Y-yeah....well I mean it would be nice to, but then again, I probably wouldn't want to deal with all the laws there are to fly." I replied.
"Well....wanna see what it's like to fly?"
"....................." "...................y-you......you serious?"
"Yeah! I gave Junir a ride yesterday, and you want to know what it's like, plus it's a short flight anyway so there won't be any problems!"
".....J-junir.....you think I should do this?" I asked the Lion.
"Go for it Mike. It was pretty exhilarating for me, even though I lost my phone in the process. But it was still quite a rush." The Lion replied, as he got into Chowder's car.
"A-alright then...." I mentioned, walking up to the Dragon.
"Come here Mike."
"O-ok.......W-whoa!"
"Now hold onto my neck, okay?"
"A-alright."
The Dragon lifted me up with his very strong arms as if I weighed nothing, much like Tony and Sully did once before. I wrapped my arms around his neck while he continued to hold me, and felt my heart pumping at a VERY quick rate as Dracon stood in an open area of the parking lot.
"Ready Mike?"
"....Y-yeah!"
"Alright!"
"Here.................WE....................GO!"
*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*
With that said, Dracon started running VERY fast, and before I knew it, Dracon's wings started flapping very quickly.....and after a few more steps from the Dragon, he took one final leap.....and off the ground we were.
"Holy crap!" I exclaimed.
"SEE YOU GUYS THERE!" Dracon yelled as he turned his head back towards the others. Everyone waved at the two of us as we started ascending high into the air.
"Mmmmfffhh!!"
It certainly felt weird as the wind was hitting my face very rapidly, but at the same time, looking at Dracon certainly helped calm me down, as he had a small grin on his face the whole time we were flying together. He looked like he was having no problems at all while holding me, and seeing him up this close....was making me blush quite heavily.
"You ok Mike?" Dracon asked while his wings were still flapping quite heavily through the clear sky.
"Y-yeah.....Wow...this is amazing!" I exclaimed, seeing all the buildings and roads below us, as well as the water in the near distance. It was truly an incredible sight, and I wish I had my camera for it. We were only a few hundred feet in the air, but it was something that I had truly never experienced before.
"We're not far from there, only a couple minutes." Dracon mentioned while I kept looking around the area.
"....Thank you for this Dracon....." I then added, still blushing.
"Well I'm glad to help out a cute human like you Mike." The Dragon replied, which caused my heart to nearly skip a beat.
With that said, we started getting closer and closer to the water near a drawbridge, which was right next to where the bowling alley was located. After about a minute, the bowling alley was now in plain sight, and we were closing in on it rather quickly.
"Alright Mike....I'm going in, hold on tight!"
"O-ok!" I nodded back, clinching onto the Dragon's neck a bit harder.
The dragon descended from the sky at a pretty quick rate.....and I felt pretty much weightless as the descent felt like a GIANT roller coaster drop.
*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*
"Hhnnnngghh!!" I exclaimed, still feeling the rapid descent as we headed towards the ground. I ultimately closed my eyes right then and there just so that I didn't have to see the ground itself.
*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP........FLAP.................... FLAP........................... FLAP*
"And....we're here!"
I opened up my eyes, and noticed that we were finally on the ground, in the middle of a pretty spacious parking lot.
"W-wow!! What a rush that was!" I exclaimed.
The Dragon put me down, though I still felt like I wanted him to continue holding me.
"Glad you liked it Mike." Dracon mentioned with a large smile on his face.
"Thank you again for that Dracon! That was more fun than everything else we did today combined!" I added.
"Awwwww...no need to thank me Mike....but anyway.....this is the place that I own."
I looked at the building we arrived at, and it definitely looked like a VERY nice bowling alley. I wasn't surprised to see that the place was named "DRAGON LANES", and there was a VERY large electronic display right below the street logo of the bowling center. There was also a red dragon logo wrapped around the actual name of the bowling center, which I thought was pretty cute and also funny as well.
"Wanna go in Mike? The others still have to get over here in their cars."
"Sure! I left my bowling ball in Sully and Ord's car...but I REALLY wanna see your place inside!" I happily replied.
With that said, the two of us walked into the center, and I was pretty speechless once we walked inside the bowling alley. Everything literally looked BRAND NEW inside the center. From the HD scoreboards, to the TV projectors, and even to the arcade itself, it was definitely one of the nicest looking bowling alleys I had ever been to.
The center itself had 32 lanes, 24 lanes for regular ten pin and 8 lanes for Candlepin bowling. There was a VERY large arcade near the entrance itself, as well as a pretty spacious pro shop too. Roughly 30 feet from the arcade was the main desk, and next to that was a snack bar. On the other end of the bowling alley though was the entrance to an actual restaurant inside the center, which was named "The Dragon's Den".
Before I could look around the entire center though, it didn't take long for me to hear a few voices shouting near me while I was standing next to the Dragon.
"Oh hey Dracon!"
"Dracon! How's it going??"
"Hey there Drac!"
A bunch of the employees that were working at the center greeted their boss right then and there, in which Dracon happily greeted them back.
As Dracon and his employees talked for a little bit, I noticed that it was pretty quiet in the bowling alley itself. There were only a couple of groups of people actually on the lanes bowling, but for a Wednesday night, I thought for sure that it would be busier.
"And also, this is my friend Mike."
I was caught a bit off guard when Dracon introduced me in front of the other employees there, but I happily shook their hands and greeted each one. There were a couple of male human employees working behind the main counter, and a couple of female anthros working at the snack bar itself.
"I'm surprised it's pretty quiet for this time of night!" I mentioned to the employees and Dracon himself.
"Well, the leagues just finished last week actually and the summer leagues won't be starting until the middle of May." One of the employees mentioned to me.
"So we pretty much have the center to ourselves as a giant group tonight Mike. Heh." Dracon then added.
"Nice! I haven't bowled with my actual ball in awhile....just hope I'm not rusty. Hehe."
"Oh look, the others are here!" Dracon then pointed out. I looked over, and sure enough, the other nine had walked in as a group into Dracon's bowling alley.
"Hey guys!" I happily mentioned as I walked up to the others.
"How was your...flight? Heh. " Sully asked me, nudging my shoulder.
"Exhilarating. It was such a rush.....man....I wish I could fly myself. Hehe." I replied.
"Here's your bowling ball Mike, I know you wanted to bring it with you!" Ord then mentioned to me as he handed me my blue bowling ball bag.
"Oh! Thanks Ord!" I replied.
"So...this is a bowling alley?" Emon asked, as he seemed just as curious about the place he was in much like when we were all at Dave & Busters.
"What have I gotten myself into? Goddamn you Leatherhead...." Aquin asked himself, as he seemed to be flabbergasted over the fact that Emon didn't seem to know any of his surroundings in the places that the group was going to.
As we all walked over as a group to the counter, Sully, Ord, and Gantu went up in front of everyone else.
"So I'm assuming you want some lanes guys?" Dracon asked all of us, in which we all nodded back.
"Give them 2 pairs of lanes, that should be enough for the eleven of us Max." Dracon told his employee.
"....If I may ask.....you say these guys are all your friends....right?" The human asked as he turned on 4 lanes for our group, and started to grab different shoe sizes for everyone.
"Yep....and if you're wondering....yes.....these guys are who you think they are. Hehe."
"Wow! AWESOME! Hope you guys have some fun bowling together tonight.....but do you mind if I can get my picture with you three after?" The human asked Gantu, Sully, and Ord.
"Sure! Definitely!" Sully happily replied, as did Ord & Gantu. With that said, everyone got their bowling shoes (except for Dracon, Ord, and Quetzal, who didn't wear any footwear in general) and we all walked over to our two pairs of lanes.
"So which lanes do you guys want?" Dracon asked all of us while we started to put our bowling shoes on.
"Well I want to face Mike again, he gave me one hell of a challenge last time we bowled together." Gantu mentioned with a bit of an intimidating grin on his face.
"Let's just hope I don't leave another solid eight pin....that sucked!" I replied with a bit of a moan.
"I still think Gantu feels like he needs to beat someone at something after what happened back at that Dave & Busters, haha!" Kumi then added as he emitted a big laugh.
"Oh shut up Kum....at least this is something that I actually am GOOD at!" Gantu replied, smirking a bit but still also feeling a bit ticked off at his mate.
We ultimately decided that on the left pair of lanes, it would be me, Kumi, Gantu, Dracon, and Junir bowling together, while on the other pair, it was Sully, Ord, Chowder, Aquin, Emon, and Quetzal. (Basically, the more serious bowlers against the casual bowlers)
"I guess I'll go first??" I asked hesitantly while Dracon put all of our names into the scoreboard since he knew exactly how to program everything.
"Sure!" "Yeah, go for it!" A couple people responded. I took out my Storm Frantic bowling ball, and put it on the rack, while everyone else started going through the house ball racks behind us to find a ball that fitted their own fingers.
Meanwhile though.....a few lanes down to my left....
*KALWASH!!!*
"YEAAAHHHH BABY! STRIKE IT UP!"
"Nice shot Wuffy!!!!"
"Man, you had the powah on that one!"
I looked over and noticed another group that consisted of five people, and they REALLY seemed to be having a good time bowling with each other. I didn't think much of it, mainly because of the fact that it was something I was used to seeing all the time when I bowled by myself back in the day when I went out to practice.
"Alright Mike, you're up!" Dracon told me.
I nodded and walked up on the approach, grabbed my Frantic Bowling ball, and started my approach on the lane.
Step by step, it felt a bit weird bowling on an alley that I wasn't accustomed to, but eventually, the ball released off of my fingers and I was able to release it pretty smoothly.
*BANG*
The ball made a loud noise as it hit the lane, and rolled to the right of the head pin. As it went roughly 40 feet down the lane though....the ball turned very nicely, and went straight into the pocket.
*KWLASH*
"Oh wow!! Great shot Mike!"
I struck on my first ball there, at a bowling alley I had never been at before. I was certainly excited, knowing that this was going to be a fun night between our whole group.
*****
"....Tony.....Tony.....Wake up."
"......h-hmmm?"
"We're here at the hospital."
"....I-I'm sorry Michael...."
"....huh? For what?"
"....I feel....kinda bad that you've been driving around l-like this non-stop...I feel like I could be doing more to help out....."
"Tony....you've been through a lot. Losing your home....leaving your mate....."
"I....don't wanna think about it Michael....just the thought....makes my head hurt...."
"S-sorry Tony. But don't worry about it, I'm here as your friend and we're going to get through this together. Let's go get some answers."
"Y-yeah."
The two got out of the Lancer as it was parked in front of the hospital, and walked towards the entrance of the building, which the two had been at the day before when they originally got the answers that they wanted from the human that was in there.
As both Tigers walked in though....something caught their eye near one of the elevators.
"....Wonder why so many cops are here...." Michael asked.
"I noticed several cop cars outside too. Maybe they're patrolling the area after everything that went down here yesterday." Tony replied, then saying "Excuse us miss, we're visiting a......friend....of ours....I think he's in room 205...."
Tony was speaking to the lady behind the front desk of the hospital....and she looked like she was trying to do a million different things at once in front of the two.
"We'll just be heading up if that's ok." Michael then said.
"W-wait, hang on you two!"
The lady behind the desk quickly stopped the two tigers from walking past the desk and towards the elevators, which surprised both Tony and Michael.
"You're not allowed to go to the 2nd floor, the police are up there investigating something that happened I believe...."
"Wait....what happened??"
"They haven't told me anything....I only heard that someone reported a loud bang up on that floor in one of the rooms....agh....I gotta take this call, you two can sit over there and I'll make sure I update you on everything."
"Ugh.....I don't have time for this shit...." Tony thought to himself.
Tony and Michael both walked over to the same waiting area they sat at yesterday, where they witnessed everything that had gone down at the restaurant itself.
"....you wanna just take the stairs up Ton'?"
"I was thinking the same thing....seems like they have a couple of policemen over there....I want a fucking answer from that human and I don't give a damn how I have to get it out of him."
"Follow me, don't look at anyone."
Michael and Tony noticed a stairway right near the waiting room they were at, which was ultimately on the opposite end of where the elevators were located. The stairway itself wasn't being guarded, and the two Tigers ultimately opened the door leading to it, and proceeded to head up to the floor above them.
As the two walked up a couple flights of stairs....they both then heard something coming from behind the door where the 2nd floor was located.
"Hey....listen...." Michael pointed out, as someone was speaking behind the door.
"Did you find anything Brent?"
"Nothing."
Both tigers opened the door to the 2nd floor.....but they were pretty much surrounded at that point by A LOT of people, specifically in police uniforms.
"HEY, you two can't be up here! There's an investigation going on right now and this floor is in lockdown!" One of the cops yelled.
"W-what happened?? Our gu-.....I mean....our FRIEND is in one of the rooms up here and we needed to see him!" Michael exclaimed, though he almost said the wrong thing in terms of who he was seeing.
"What room is he in?"
"205 I believe." Tony replied.
"...........oh.......no......"
"WHAT? Why "Oh no.." ?"
"........You sure your friend is in room....205.....?"
"YES, we saw him in there yesterday!" Tony nearly shouted, while the human cop kept looking at them....with a bit of a down look on his face.
"......I'm sorry guys.....but whoever your friend was that was in room 205.....well....he was shot in the head by someone....."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!" Both Tigers shouted at the same time....which caused a bunch of other cops to look at them.
"Y-yeah....I'm sorry you two.....but we're investigating the issue right now......again....I'm very sorry....."
"L-let's go Michael...." Tony mentioned, as he was clearly more pissed off than sad at that moment, mainly because his only real source of any other information about Marco.....quickly disappeared right in front of his eyes.
*****
As the two walked back downstairs....another cop walked up to the police officer that had talked to both Tigers.
"What were those two guys wanting? Someone up here that they know?"
"Yeah.....I guess their friend....was the one that was in that room down over there.....poor guys....I feel bad for them...."
"Hang on....did you say they were......friends....?"
"....yeah...why?"
"No one told you that the patient in that room.....was one of the three responsible for that shootout here yesterday??"
"Wait....WHAT??"
"And you said that they were his FRIENDS??"
"....yeah they did!"
"We gotta go ask them some questions....let's get them before they leave! HEY ROY, we need your help, follow us!" One of the cops mentioned to his partner. With that said, the three cops headed down the stairs only a couple of minutes after Tony and Michael, and ultimately wanted to get some answers from the two.
*****
".............."
"I know...I know Tony....it's frustrating.....You know what....I'll have them send Junir's hospital bill to me....I'll cover his expenses."
Both Tigers exited the hospital, not really saying anything to each other.
".........How the fuck can we find Marco now? We've got NOTHING to go on, other than the fact that the place he's at is in the "City". How do we even know he could be in New York City?!?!?!"
".....Tony.....I....I wish I could help.....I...."
Just then....
"Hey, you two."
"...w-wha?"
Before the two Tigers could head back to their car.....three police officers approached them, and all of them were human males.
"We just want to ask you two some qu-"
"Hey....wait a second....WAIT A SEC....YOU'RE THE SAME GUY THAT TRIED TO FIGHT ME OUTSIDE THAT ROOM YESTERDAY!"
".............."
"W-wait...what??"
"AND THIS GUY WATCHED HIM DO IT TOO!!! I....I can't remember what happened after....but I KNOW THESE TWO WERE TRYING TO FORCE THEIR WAY INTO THAT ROOM!"
The cop that was yelling in front of the other cops and Tony & Michael clearly looked like a bit of a ruthless cop that was bent on power.
"W-wait! I just said Tony should stop resisting against you!" Michael frantically replied.
"So...you're saying this friend of yours DID in fact touch this cop right here?" One of the officers asked.
"............"
Michael didn't respond, as he knew he made a BIG mistake right then and there, which ultimately lead to Tony looking at Michael.....in a very scary way.
"Ok, until we get to the bottom of this, we have no other choice. We're placing you both under arrest for assault on a police officer, and for also lying to a police officer."
"B-BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!" Michael yelled. Tony simply didn't say a single thing, and let the cops put the cuffs onto his arms.
"Ok, well you can plead not guilty to watching your friend trying to assault a police officer if that's the case....but until then, both of you have the right to remain silent.....anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"
Both tigers were led by the three cops over to one of the squat cars, and they were both placed inside the vehicle, though Michael was the only one still trying to plea with the officers over everything that was going on. Tony....was simply at a loss for words, in more ways than one.
With everything said and done.....Gordon was apparently finished off in the hospital....Tony & Michael were arrested after lying to the police officers and also because of the cop that apparently didn't forget everything from yesterday (even with Aquin using his powers), and any information that the two had about Marco....was now irrelevant.
TO BE CONTINUED.......
