Re: Shawn Cortez and Frank Duffy Present...Breaking Kayfabe Part 1

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex regains his faculties one last time and places himself between Micah and Milkens standing tall.... silently proving a point.

[Cryonix]

He can't stand anymore...his legs fail him. He colapses. The stress overwhelms him....

Micah: ...I can't take this anymore...

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex steps up to take control since Micah is incapacitated.

"Carmella, Colin..... can you take Micah home? Give him space if he wants it..... but keep an eye on him please."

[Jabberwocky]

Colin nods, helping Micah up
"Come on brother, lets go"

[Pockets]

Alexis walks over to Alex, looking guiltily at Micah.

Alexis: We should go home too.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex looks at Alexis and forces a smile.

"OK, Lets go."

[Cryonix]

Shawn Cortez shakes the hand of the inspector and Duffy and the rest of the staff celebrate thier success and their Michlen Star. Shawn buys a round of drinks for all patrons present...but then...walks to the back and takes out his cell phone. He dials that number of the person that is still avoiding him...

Shawn: Yes...I'd like to speak to Raquel please.....just tell her its someone she 'simply' can't avoid talking to...

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Raquel speaking, are you calling for our Thursday special?"

[Cryonix]

Shawn: No, hon. I'm calling to talk to you. How long has it been? Six...seven years?

[Jabberwocky]

There is a long pause on the other end

Raquel: "Sh-shawn? I...uh...oh my god hi."

[Cryonix]

Shawn: Long time no talk to, Quelly. Listen, I want you to come to my new place. I'll buy you dinner. I..I'd love to see you again.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Uh sure I'd love to but...where is your new place?"

[Cryonix]

Shawn: It's only the hottest new bar in Chicago. "Breaking Kayfabe." Can I expect you?

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"I love the name. Look give me time to get dolled up and drive out there. Say three hours?"

[Cryonix]

Shawn: I didn't know you were that close, hon. Yeah...I'll meet you there.

[Jabberwocky]

Three hours and fifteen minutes go by before a black Tesla roadster drives into the parking lot and Raquel comes out in a flowing red cocktail dress
Raquel:"Wow."

[Cryonix]

Shawn: Really long time no see, Raquel. You look incredible. Welcome to my place...well...my second place...

[Cruel Britannia]

A stunning brunette, 5'11", with familiar crystal blue eyes enters. She walks to the bar and orders, with a slightest hint of the Queen's English.

Woman; Pint of Guinness please, love.

[Cryonix]

Micah arrives soon after, having left Seattle a week before. He always did have a great fashion sense. He enters the bar and gives Duffy and Shawn a hug...

Micah: Hey guys. Listen...I'm looking for someone...

Shawn: Heh, Amanda, right? She's at the bar.

Micah: Thanks...

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda sits at the bar and sips her drink. She looks around and sees Micah walking towards her.

"Well it really is a small world isn't it?"

[Cryonix]

Micah smiles...

Micah: From the airport? Of course...a brother in Chicago, I should have guessed. It's very nice to see you again. Allow me to buy you dinner?

[Cruel Britannia]

Mandy pretends to ponder Micah's request, before smiling.

Amanda: Well, since you asked so nicely....

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel can't help but feel a nervous when she sees Shawn for the first time in year.

Raquel:"This place looks amazing...So do you."

[Cryonix]

Shawn takes Raquel's hand and leads her into the bar. He gets a private table and sits her down....

Shawn: Drink? It's on the house. I can't believe I'm going to say this...but I've missed you.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel feels herself blush a little
Raquel:"I missed you too Shawn. How have you been? Wife? Kids?"
