| In a Greenville, South Carolina Motel 6 ::Snake Eyes is seen in his Motel 6 room number 13. He's looking through the motel phone book for someone. He finds what he is looking for and dials up the number:: Snake Eyes: Yeah, hey Dominos, I'd like a deep dish pepperoni pizza. ::A muffled voice is heard and Snake Eyes nods and says 'yeah' and 'uh huh' a lot. Snake Eyes smugly hangs up the phone and lies back against the pillows. He turns on the tv and looks for something to watch. Nothings on so he just sets down and closes his eyes:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ::Outside in busy Los Angeles traffic. Snake Eyes is holding someone's hand. You can see the young lady's face now. She is very young and pretty. She had blonde hair and a perfect smile. Snake Eyes looks considerably younger:: Snake Eyes: I love you Jackie. ::The young lady's name is revealed:: Jackie: I love you too. Where are we going again? ::Snake Eyes grins:: Snake Eyes: You're always forgetting these things... We're going down to 38th street so we can eat at Luigi's, remember? ::The wind starts up, her hair is being blown in all directions. The wind stops, and her hair is still perfect:: Jackie: I remember now. I like Luigi's. He makes good Calzones. I think that's what I'll get. A Calzone. ::Snake Eyes starts to smile again:: Snake Eyes: Wow, we've been together for a long time. How long has it been? Two years? Wow. ::Snake Eyes and Jackie begin to walk across the street. Just then a screeching car rounds the corner, two gun muzzles are sticking out the car window. Snake Eyes shoves Jackie out of the way, but one of the many bullets hits her in the head. Snake Eyes can't get out of the way on time, the car crashes into him and Snake Eyes goes flying. The gun shots continue:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ::The camera zooms out and Snake Eyes is crying on his bed. Tears are flowing down his face. And someone is knocking at the door:: Snake Eyes: Jackie! ::Snake Eyes returns to consciousness and realizes where he is again. He wipes off his face from a mix of sweat and tears. He gets up and answers the door:: Delivery Boy: That'll be $8.43 . ::Snake Eyes digs the cash out of his pocket and hands it to the man. The bills are crumpled:: Delivery Boy: Thanks. Hey, are you alright? You don't look so hot. ::Snake Eyes smiles, however grimly:: Snake Eyes: No, I'm fine. Thanks though. ::The delivery boy says goodbye and walks down the hall and back to his car. Snake Eyes closes the door and sets back down on his bad. He looks at the clock. An hour as passed since he dozed off. He grabs the remote and turns the television on again. He flips through the channels again until he finds MTV. They're playing his all time favorite song. Semi-Charmed Life, by Third Eye Blind. He smiles a little and watches it in it's entirety. Something snaps in his head. He grabs the phone book and looks for a number:: Snake Eyes: Warren, Westing, Wind, Willms! ::The camera zooms in on the number Snake Eyes wants to dial. Willms. Andy Willms. Snake Eyes dials the number listed and the phone begins to ring:: Andy Willms: Hello? Snake Eyes: Guess who this is? ::I'm sure if we could see Andy now, he would be extremely surprised:: Andy: No way! You're in town? Holy moly, why don't you come on over? ::Snake Eyes smiles and replies:: Snake Eyes: Alright, we can catch up on what's going on. Talk about the good old days. ::Snake Eyes hangs up on the phone. He looks down on his shirt, it has pizza sauce on it. He changes it. But for the first time we see his bare chest, where a big scar runs down the right side of his chest. This is evidently a large cut from the formentioned car accident:: Snake Eyes: Stupid car. ::Snake Eyes pulls on a black turtleneck and walks outside. He realizes his car is back in LA. He walks over to the nearest bus stop. He waits for about two minutes when the bus comes. He finds a seat in the back by a strange looking man:: Man: Hey buddy, can I have some money for a sandwich. ::Snake Eyes not realizing what the man means:: Snake Eyes: I dunno, what does the sandwich look like? ::The homeless man sighs in exasperation and moves up near someone else:: Snake Eyes: Jeez, what's THAT guys problem? Oh well, here's my stop. ::Snake Eyes jumps off the bus and walks three blocks to an apartment building. He walks inside and takes the elevator up to the thirteenth floor. Room number 257. He pushes the buzzer. The door opens:: Andy:Raaah!!! ::Out of nowhere Andy jumps on top of Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes, crashing down to the floor, yells in agony. He turns around and sees his friend Andy. He smiles now. And easily pins him to the ground:: Snake Eyes: Man, are you ever gonna learn? When you sneak up on me like that, you're gonna get hurt. Nice place. ::Snake Eyes looks around at the messy room that has books and clothes strewn everywhere:: Andy: Heh, yeah right. How have you been doing brother? ::Andy holds out his hand for Snake Eyes to slap. Snake Eyes grins and slams his hand onto Andy's. They walk into the kitchen:: Andy: You want a snack or anything? I got some extra Halloween candy I'm gonna give to the kids next week. They had a sale so I bought a lot of it. ::Snake Eyes nods:: Snake Eyes: Sure. ::Andy tosses a big bag of mini 3 Musketeers bars to Snake Eyes. He catches it and opens it up. He grabs a couple:: Snake Eyes: So, yous still a bachelor? ::Andy nods:: Andy: Surprising, eh? ::Snake Eyes smiles:: Snake Eyes: Not especially. Andy: Shaddup. So what're you doing for a living nowadays? Snake Eyes: Believe it or not, I'm a professional wrestler. I'm in the TWW, former Cruiserweight Champ. ::Snake Eyes goes on about it for a while, but he leaves out a lot of the most important stuff:: Snake Eyes: What're you doing? Andy: Umm, I'm working at a bar down on Yancy blvd. I get paid good, I get benefits. It's all good. Say... you want some dinner or something? There's a nice little Italian restaurant down the street called Luigi's. ::Snake Eyes nods quietly:: Snake Eyes: Yeah, sounds good. ::Snake Eyes' match with James Edwards is coming up on Tuesday. But that's not the biggest thing on his mind. A bit of irony with Luigi's. The story continues:: Fade to Black... |
