Chapter 3

Tico and David arrived at the Graceland Wedding Chapel later in the day and walked in to see if anyone was there to answer any questions they had. They looked around and thought it was a cute little chapel with pews on either side and fresh flowers that looked like they had arrived not too long ago. There was an organ in the corner up on the little alter they had and in the back wall were pictures with some of the couples they had married.

Still walking around Tico decided to shout out “Hello? Is there anyone here?” As David went over to check out the organ.

“Hey Tic you think Jon would let me bring something like this out on tour with us. You know give us a funky kind of sound?” he asked him laughing.

“Do you really want to give him a stroke? He been thru enough right now.” He said chucking as this small man came out dressed in jeans and a polo shirt.

“Can I help the two of you?” he asked them as he looked them over.

“I hope so we have some friends that want to have a quick ceremony you know before we leave here and my friend and I told them that we would look at a few chapels for him.” Tico told him as Dave walked up behind him.

“Oh well ok I think we can work something out. My wife usually handles all that if you could just wait a moment I’ll go get her.” The man said to him as he left.

David tapped Tico on his shoulder and asked him, “What the hell T who are we going to get to marry?” as he was a little confused by his questioned.

Tico looked at him and wanted to whack him across the head. “David play along will you! We need to get a look at that guest book.” He told him irritated.

“Oh I get it now. But what if they don’t show us the guess book?” he asked him.

“Look they may put it out as were going over the details. I don’t know act like you have a cramp or something and you need to go for a walk. Then you can look for it and see if the guy’s names are in it. You can do that right?” Tico asked him sarcastically.

“I’ll try.” He shot back.

Just then the little man came back with his wife. “Well I’d like to introduce my wife Mildred Sims and I’m Tim Sims.” He told them as David had to hold his tongue as Tico had to give him the eye.

“So boys what can we do for the two of you?” she asked them.

“Well Mrs. Sims one of our buddies is getting married and he asked us to look for some chapels that are reasonable and available for he and his fiance to get married and we would like to know what your offer here at The Graceland Wedding Chapel. You already have one of his favorite as you can arrange for them to be married by an Elvis impersonator is correct?” Tico asked them.

“Well why don’t you come into our office so we can discuss the details then.” She told them. She showed them the way and they followed her down the hall into her office. They sat down across from her in the available chairs as she got her book out of her drawer.

“Now let me see when were you looking for a date?” she asked them.

“Well as soon as possible. We had some friends come here not too long ago. Do you have a guess book that we could look at?” Tico asked her.

“Why yes we do have a guess book but why do you want to look at it” she asked them curiously.

“Well they were rather drunk and can’t really remember what chapel they were at but they were treated with all the kindness and they even got them a cab so they wouldn’t drive home. That meant a lot to all of us. So that’s why we’re looking for that particular chapel. Anyone who would go to all that trouble to make sure our friends were safe well we want to give them the business. So if we could check your guess book and see if their names are in there then we would like to book their wedding here.” Tico explained to her seeing that they weren’t going to let David leave seeing that Tim was in the room with them and sitting by the door.  

Mildred looked over to her husband and got up. “Could you two please excuse us for a moment?” Walking over to him with the book in her hand, she opened the door and they stepped out into the hall.

Tico looked over to Dave said, “Well somethings up with them.”

“Yeah I think you’re right.” David gave him a look back.

Out in the hall, the husband and wife were talking in whispers discussing the fact that they didn’t like the idea that they wanted to look over their guest book seeing that they were paid off to have the names put in their book and a license made up. Tim told her to stall and that he would be right back.  Mildred went back in the room and sat back down with the book in her hand.

“Well Tim went to check on a few things but in the meantime what were you looking for in a dollar amount? Because we have different packages here.” she explained them.

Dave asked her, “Well we wanted an Elvis theme remember?” he told her again.

“Oh that’s right forgive me my memory isn’t what it used to be. Here let me start to write things down. Ok now what else just that or would there be anything else?” she asked them.

“No but for us to book it here we still need to see your guest book.” Tico reminder her again.

But before she could answer her husband walked in. “Yes that would be fine. Mildred go ahead show these men the guest book.” He told her with a little nod. She looked at him and let out a breath and nodded back and handed Tico the book.  Both Tico and Dave just looked at them and then each other. Putting their chairs together they started thru the pages as they went up and down the pages carefully. When then got to the second page there in their own handwriting were Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Sarah Mathers.

“Oh crap Jon’s going to have a fit.” David said.

“I’m sorry but is there a problem?” Tim asked.

“Do you keep marriage certificates on file here or do we need to go to City Hall?” Tico asked them.

Quickly Tim answered him, “No we do keep a copy on file here. Why?”

“Well we would like to show our other friends a copy of Mr. Bongiovi’s certificate to show them so we can talk to them in coming here would that be a problem?” Tico asked them.

“No if you like to wait I can get that for right now.” Tim told them. Well David was about to jump out of his chair as Tico tried to calm him as he put his hand on his leg and a stare that could kill. Both of them were getting antsy in their chairs but finally after about seven minutes Tim came back with the marriage license.

Yep there it was in plain black and white. Jon and Sarah’s name on it. Tico thanked them and he and Dave headed back to the hotel. He had no idea how the hell he was going to show Jon this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jon and Richie were sitting in their room after sound check trying to figure out what their next move was going to be. They each had their guitars in hand and were just strumming away when something hit Richie as Jon looked at him as he started to sing as he followed him also in the melody. Quickly they started to write things down and were going strong when there was a knock on the door.

“Fuck who the hell could that be?” Jon asked.

“Maybe your wife?” Richie snickered.

“Oh shit that’s right. I forgot all about her for a while. Rich maybe we should hire a private eye what do you think?” Jon asked him as he reached for the door knob. But before Richie could answer Tico and Dave walked in.

“Hey guys do we have news for you.” David said.

“Did you guys find out anything?” Jon asked them getting a little excited now.

Tico looking at Jon and Richie took the envelope out of his back pocket. “Well you could say that. Jon just don’t freak out ok? But we did find some things out. Dave and I did go to the Graceland Wedding Chapel this afternoon and we met the people who run it.” Tico told them.

“You did that’s great. Well did you guys find anything out?” Jon wanted to know enthusiastically.

“Oh boy did we.” Dave said as Tico shot him a look.

Jon didn’t know what to say to that as Richie asked, “So what did you guys find out and how the hell did you get them to tell you anything?”

“Well I just told them that we had some friends tie the knot here a while ago and that we have some others that wanted to get married but they wanted to make sure that this was the right chapel so we asked them if we could look at their guess book.” Tico told them.

“You’re kidding me and they let you just like that?” Jon asked as he sat back down as he couldn’t believe that the guys got that far. “So did they let you look at it?” he asked hoping.

“Yeah they did but the funny thing was as we were sitting in their office the old guy had to go make a phone and when he came back that’s when he gave the signal for his wife to give us the book. You know like he had to get permission to let us look at it. But there in black and white were your signatures Jon. Yours, Richie’s and Sarah’s and this.” Tico told him as he handed Jon the envelope with the certificate in it.

“What’s this?” Jon asked him bewildered.

“Just open it Jon.” Tico told him.

Looking at everyone curiously he opened the envelope and pulled out the piece of paper. He unfolded it and as he saw what it was they all saw the color drain out of his face. In a whisper all you could hear him say was “Fuck”

“Jon what is it?” Richie asked him concerned. Not saying anything he handed Richie the piece of paper. Richie took it and looked at it and then he had to sit down. “Well now we know it’s true. I guess we have to tell Sarah now. Do you want me to do it or do you want to?” Richie asked him.

Jon was still a little shell shocked. He was really hoping that nothing was going to come of this and that maybe one of the other music groups just set it up as a joke. “Ah no I should do it. Plus I have some apologizing to do. I’ve been really shitty to her you know. Oh crap we’re going to have to tell Doc to aren’t we?” he said as his stomach turned.

“I guess before this really gets out. The funny thing is it’s been two days now and the media hasn’t picked up on it thou. I wonder why?” Richie asked.

“Yeah don’t they pick up on things like this once everything gets registered?” Dave asked.

“Usually they do. Maybe we’re not big enough yet?” Tico asked.

“No Slippery been number one for over a month now and we’ve had the pap’s following us like forever. There’s something more to this. I think your right we need more help. Tic call Derek Phelps and tell him what’s going on and show him this marriage certificate and see what he can come up with. I’m going to go over to Sarah’s room and tell her what’s happen so far.” Jon told them as he got up and left.

Jon went to Sarah’s room and knocked on the door. He waited a few minutes before she answered the door. “Oh Jon Hi come on in.”

Jon entered the room and looked around and just saw that there was a coffee cup and some dishes on a table and a book. “So what can I do for you Jon?” Sarah asked him.

Smiling Jon nervously shuffled back and forth as he finally cleared his throat. “Um hum Sarah could we sit down.” he asked her as he motioned towards the couch. “The guys went to the Graceland Chapel this afternoon and got some information and well to make a long story short we are married.” He told her out right.

“Oh ok well what makes them say that?” she asked him not that she wasn’t believing him.

“Well after they got to see the guess book and saw mine and Richie’s signature’s in it not to mention your’s they produce a marriage license with our name’s on it. So it proves that we got married that night. I have Tico who is going to take the license to a Private investigator that is on staff and he’s going to look in to it more for us. There is just something bothering us a little more so we’re going to have him check that out but in the meantime I’m going to have my lawyer start annulment proceedings if that’s ok with you?” he asked her.

“Well I guess so. I mean I wasn’t coming here to marry you Jon. I thought I was going to marry Kyle but well he just used me. Why I don’t know.” She said trying not to cry again in front of him.

“Sarah I wish I knew why he did this to you but I don’t. I wish I knew why someone did this to me. But everything is just a blackout. It sucks I know. Hopefully we’ll get some answers soon.” He told her with as much confidence as he could muster.

“Thank you Jon so do you still want me to stay here?” she asked him hoping that she could go home.

“If you don’t mind? Look it can’t be that staying here could it? I mean it’s a decent room with room service and if you need anything I’ll get you anything you need ok? Sarah everything is on me think of it as a vacation ok?” Jon told her giving her one of his winning smiles.

Thinking she looked at him smiling and said, “Jon you have a heart of gold but I can’t let you do that. You don’t know me from Adam. Look I appreciate everything you’re doing for me but I really can’t impose on you like this.” she told him from the bottom of her heart.

Jon couldn’t believe what he was hearing because most of the girls he has been meeting wanted a piece of him. Even Dotty as she was constantly racking up his credit cards and when he tried to talk to her about it she freaked out and they were constantly fighting about it which finally led them to break up. “Look Sarah you’re not imposing at all. For all I know I could have asked you to marry me we don’t know so until we do please stay and let us take care of everything. (bending his head down to hers and trying to get her to smile) Hey come on when are you ever going to get a deal like this again?” he asked her as he took her chin and drew it up so she was now looking at him. “That’s better. You’re a very beautiful young lady Sarah and Kyle was definitely a dumbass.” Jon told her.

“Oh well thank you Jon and I do have a confession for you, I did know who you guys were. I was trying to play it cool.” She told him then pursed her lips together as she tried to look around the room.

“Yeah I had a feeling.” he said smiling that megawatt smile.

 “You did not!” she smiled and almost laughing.

“Well yeah because we’re playing here and you’re here and we have billboards all over the place how could you not know who we were?” Jon said confidently and a little bit smugly. “Wait a minute that’s right and Kyle knew we were here. Did he mention us by any chance?” Jon asked her.

Sarah thought for a moment but couldn’t remember if he had. “I’m sorry Jon we weren’t here that long maybe a day I think it’s all scrambled now but I don’t remember us talking about you guys. The only the thing was he did want to see the Legends show. Then we were going to stay a week for our honeymoon.” She explained to him.

“Yeah you definitely need to stay here for a while. We can’t take any chances with him out there right now because if you get hurt I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” Jon told her.

“Well Jon that’s very nice of you but you really don’t have to worry about me. I’m just going to be here watching tv and using the pool and Richie told me if I want to go shopping to let either you or him know and you’ll get someone to go with me.” She explained to him.

“Really now? Well good and he’s right but still I’m going to worry about you so get used to it. We’re going to hire a private detective to check out some leads we have so hopefully it won’t be too long then I’ll call my lawyer and we can get this annulled how’s that?” Jon asked her.

Sarah smiled softly at him. “That would be fine Jon and again thank you for everything you’re doing.”

No problem I’m just sorry that you were dragged into this whole thing.” He told her as he got up. Looking at her he bent down and kissed her on the check. “I’ll let myself out. If you need anything just give anyone of us a ring.” he said as he left.

What's Next?

Jon and Richie had gotten dressed as Sarah just sat there in that t-shirt Richie had given her. She found her shoes and but her dress that she was wearing that night was ripped somehow on the sleeve and a huge stain which they really couldn’t make out what it was. It could have been some kind of alcohol drink but it was dry now but there were no takers to try and see what it tasted like. As Richie said ‘Where was Alec when you needed him?’

“So Sarah how are you doing you?” Jon asked her.

“Fine I guess.” She told him but all she really wanted to do was go home.

“Darling you remember where you and that Jackass were staying by any chance?” Richie asked her.

“Yeah we were staying at the Moonlit Motel over on the strip why?” she asked them curious.

“Because we’re going to take you over there so you can pick up your stuff and take you back here and get you a room for yourself so nobody will bother you ok?” Richie told her.

“Oh well you guys don’t have to go to all that trouble. Look if I can just get my stuff and then take me to the airport I’ll just fly home if that’s ok?” she told them anxiously.

Looking at each other Jon told her, “Sarah we would love to send you home but because of what’s happened we really do need you here to help us try and solve this. Plus this Kyle person does know where you live right? So we can’t take any chances that he might not have anything to do with you being drugged on your part and how all this fits together. Can you understand that?” Jon asked her.

Thinking about it she told them yes and that she would stay for a while but what if they get the answer to their question whether or not their married? Would they still need her to stay around? They thought about that and then told her that for her safety she should stay until they get all the answers they need to figure this out. Jon called down for a car to take them to the Motel. He left a message on the door for the guys as to where they would be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tico and David met for breakfast to discuss what they were going to do this morning.

“Hey Tico I went by the guys room and there was this Note from Jon and Richie saying they were going over to Sarah’s Motel to get her stuff.”

“Really? Jon doesn’t feel like sharing his room with her and Richie ha.” Tico laughed.

“Yeah well you know how he is when it comes to his privacy, he’s always throwing them out right after sex he can’t stand having them stay the night.” Tico commented on Jon’s habit of one night stands.

“Yeah well T aren’t we all kind of like that?” David said as he took a sip of his coffee.

“Tell that to Alec.” Well they both laughed at that seeing Alec could have cared less.

“Ok look we need to call Peter and see if Jon’s marriage or if Jon’s marriage is real for one and two legal. Then I think you and I should take a ride out to that chapel and see for ourselves what went on out there. Maybe we can get something like don’t they have to sign in or something?” Tico asked.

“Yeah like a Welcome book or something it’s a start. Should we leave a note back for them or just get going?” Dave asked him as he took a bite out of his toast.

“No let’s just get as much info as we can then we’ll present it to Jon before he has a heart attack on us. I don’t think any of us can take anymore of his anxiety attacks.” Tico told Dave as Dave tried hard not to spit out his coffee.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jon somehow talked his way into driving the car themselves. He didn’t want anyone in his Circle to know how stupid and idiotic he was to get married and not know it. They drove into the parking lot of the Motel and made sure she was ok with everything before going in. They entered the lobby and Richie escorted her to the reception desk.

The Reception clerk walked over and asked, “How may I help you?”

“Yes may I have my room key please?” she asked her nervously as Richie stood behind her.

“And your name please.” The woman asked her.

“Sarah Mat

hers but it also it could be under my fiance's name Kyle Robertson.” She told her hoping that Kyle still had the room. She thought he couldn’t have left already and left her stranded just like this.

“Oh yes Miss Mathers your room number is five hundred and forty five just a moment.” She told her and when she came back she had her key. “Also Mr. Robertson had checked out early this morning and said that you would pay the bill. So that you two had the Honeymoon suite that would be Five hundred and ninety dollars even. Do you want to pay cash or charge?” she asked her as Sarah just stood there with her mouth open. She turned to Richie and didn’t know what to do.

He quickly waved to Jon who came walking over quickly. Then speaking up, “Hey Darling we’ll be glad to pay Ms. Mathers bill and that will be charge. Jon why don’t you two go up there and start to pack her up and I’ll be there right after I pay this.” Richie told them.

“Um no I can’t let you do that.” She tried to tell them but Jon just took her arm and led her to the elevator.

“It’s ok really we need to get your stuff first of all because you can’t keep wearing t-shirts as dresses.” he smiled. “And second we need to see the room so let’s go.” Jon told her directing her into the elevator. Going up to the fifth floor and breathing a little bit easier Jon got off first and shook it off.  Looking around Jon told her to follow him as they went down the hallway and found that her room was all the way down at the end of the hall the third door on the left before the last two.

“Ok Sarah is this the one?” Jon asked her suspiciously still not sure this was on the up and up. Jon opened the door and they walked in to see that the room was ransacked. “Well Sarah why the hell would Kyle do this to your room if you two shared it?” he asked her bewildered.

“I have no idea?” she told him as she looked around as her stuff was thrown about. Just then Richie walked in and saw the mess.

“What the hell happened here?” he asked as he stepped over clothes and broken glass.

“Well either her fiance went nuts when he saw the bill or some else came in here and was looking for something. What’s your idea Rich?” Jon asked him as he took some clothes off a chair and sat down.

“Well someone was definitely looking for something but what?” Then something struck Richie.
“Sarah where’s your engagement ring?” he asked her as he looked down at her hand.

“Well it was there when we headed out to the Chapel. Funny maybe because of the wedding ring I didn’t think it was gone. Kyle is going to kill me he said that was his Grandmother’s ring.” She told them as she was getting really upset now.

“Sarah calm down will you. There can be a million reasons why you’re not wearing it.” Jon told her.

“Yeah like you got mugged, or Kyle took it back and pawned the ring or he came back here to make it look like someone robbed you guys and is going to file an insurance claim. Or he’s going to say you’re not going to give it back and can he file charges against you for that?” Richie asked her as he rambled on.

“RICHIE! You’re making her cry again! I can’t take it when she cries!” Jon said thru gritted teeth.

“Oh Darling I’m so sorry I was just thinking out loud. It could be a million reasons right Jon?” he said as he tried to calm her down again.

“She sure cries a lot.” Jon said as he sat down again.

“I’m sorry ok? But my life just went to shit. And no I can keep the ring if I want to but I don’t want it. I want to give it back to him. I don’t want anything that will remind of him.” she told them as she started to pick some of her things off the floor.

Richie asked, “How come you can keep it? You can keep the ring if you want too?”

“If it was given to you as a gift the girl can keep it. If he just proposed to you out of the blue you should really give it back. Well Kyle gave it to me on my Birthday. But seeing that it was his Grandmothers ring I really don’t want it and he should give it to someone he really wants to or give it to one of his siblings.” She explained to them.

“Darling he is one stupid man to not know what he had with you.” Richie told her smiling.

“Well thank you but can we just gather my things so I can just get the hell out of here please.” She asked them.

“Sure come on let’s see if he left you any luggage?” Jon said as he got up from the chair and tripped over something. “What the hell?” he yelped.

“What’s the matter Kidd?” Richie asked him as he went over to see what happened.

“I don’t know I tripped over something hard. That right there.” Jon pointed to what looked like a rectangle box on the floor.

“That’s my jewelry box.” Sarah told them. “What’s it doing there?” she asked them.

“Well darling I hate to tell you but I hope you didn’t have anything of value in it.” Richie told her.

“No just what I was wearing on my finger.” She reminded them.

Jon picked it up and opened it up. It had costume jewelry in it by the look of things. “Well Sarah does it look like anything was taken?” Jon asked her.

Sarah took a look and as she went thru it everything looked fine. “No everything looks like it’s here.  Do you think they were looking for my engagement ring?” she asked.

“Who knows but let’s just grab your stuff and get the hell out of here. All your stuff is thrown about, his is all gone. I think your ex wanted you to think it was a break in but he did this.” Jon said as he was still looking around.

“But why?” Sarah asked as she was still in denial.

“Darling after last night he should be your number one suspect.” Rich said shaking his head.

They finished picking up her stuff but had to put everything in garbage bags.  It had looked like Kyle had taken the entire luggage also. They went back the guy’s hotel and got her a room and put it on their tab. If McGhee had any questions about it Jon would have to make something up fast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The guys had to go the sound check but Sarah didn’t want to go she wasn’t feeling good as this whole marriage thing was still too much for her as what Kyle did to her. So she just stayed in her room. Meanwhile Jon made sure he had taken off that God awful ring so no one would see it especially Doc. He would kill him if he knew that he was that dumb for letting that happen to him. Sound check went pretty good even thou Jon was distracted.

He turned around to grab his water as Richie walked up behind him. “So Jon what’s our next step?” he asked as Jon jumped a little. “Oh sorry man.”

“Huh? Oh yeah it’s ok.  No I have no freaking idea what’s next Rich. I mean who the hell would want to get me together with this girl never mind (whispers) marry me to her. I don’t get it? What the hell is she to me or to us?” Jon wanted to know.

“That’s a great question but now we need to find the answer Jon and it doesn’t help that she doesn’t remember anything about that night either. Maybe we just sit her down and try to go at it piece by piece with her once she calms down. (Laughing) Also when you calm the hell down to. I can take notes as we try and piece this whole thing together.” He suggested to him.

“You think that will work?” Jon asked his best friend.

“Well it couldn’t hurt?” he told him as they started to walk off the stage.  

Peek-A-B00

Why was there a marching band in his head? Of course maybe that bomb that’s going off too just might kill it if he’s lucky. And how…how could a brain feel full? Clogged and everything throbbing. ‘What the HELL did I do last night?’ Laying there and actually feeling like a lump he knew he had to get up see that he had to use the bathroom and for more reasons than one.  He was able to push himself up and get himself in a sitting position so he could get his bearings. He thought his head was going to explode and vomit all over the floor. So he made a mad dash for the bathroom.

Meanwhile his partner in crime finally came crawling back to his room that he shared with his buddy and when he walked he saw him sleeping in the bed.

Laughing and seeing a glass of water on the table next to it he picked up the blankets and, “Ok Kidd this should help your hangover for sure.” And threw it all over the person as there was a scream that could have woken the dead.

Richie just jumped back because that scared the shit out of him as this cute brunette grabbed the blankets up to her neck and was still yelling.

Jon as he was rinsing his mouth and spit everything all over the sink and slipped on those stupid little rugs. Quickly picking himself up open the door and ran out when he saw Richie trying to calm this young lady down who wasn’t wearing anything and neither was Jon.

“It’s ok just stop yelling Please. This is my room I belong here. I take it you’re with Jon?...(Jon walking over)well Jon is that the new look? Who is she?” Richie asked.

Jon stood there in shock. Finding his pants, “I have no idea? How did she get in my bed?” he wanted to know.

“You’re kidding right?” Richie asked him.

“Do I look like I’m kidding Rich? And is she going to keep that up?” Jon asked annoyed. Just then there was a knock on the door. “I’ll get that Rich quiet her down.” Jon told him as he didn’t want to handle it. Opening it, it was the guys.

“Hey do you know what the hell happened last night?” Jon asked them. The three of them looked at each other with worry on their faces. “Hey did something serious happen?” Jon asked getting nervous himself now.

“Jon I think we all need to talk.” Tico said. So they walk into the bedroom where Richie was waiting for the brunette to get out of the shower.

“Why don’t we wait for her outside.” Richie said.

Sitting in the living area Jon wanted to know, “So Richie how did you get her to calm down?”

“The old Sambora charm my friend.” He told them as he patted himself on the back.

“That’s bad even for you. Did she say well you know how we met because I don’t forget when I seduce a girl.” Jon told them annoyed.

“We know Jon. Just relax until she comes out ok?” Tico told him.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn’t long when she walked in to the living area where all the guys were waiting for her. All eyes were on her and she felt so uncomfortable. She was wearing a t-shirt that Richie had given her and it looked like a dress on her.

“Hey won’t you sit over here. You want some water?” Richie asked her. She nodded yes and Richie gave her a bottle. Jon was about to bust as he was pacing up and down as he usually does when he’s nervous.

“Look can we get on with this and did anyone else notice I wearing a fucking WEDDING RING!” Jon exploded.

They all looked at him and grimaced and then looked at her as she looked down at her finger when she noticed that she was also wearing one too. Her face just dropped and tears started to fall again and Jon just threw up his arms.

“Here we go again.” He bitched.

“Jon this isn’t helping.” Tico said annoyed with him.

“Well I’m standing here with a wedding ring on and apparently we’re married and I don’t even know her name.”  he told them as he was really pissed off now.

“What’s new?” Alec said nearly laughing. Jon shot him a look that could kill.

“ALEC! Knock it off.” Tico yelled. “Look that party where you and Richie drank a hell of a lot and those girls you were with well we found out they were with Motley.” Tico told them.

“Motley? They were Motley girls? You’ve got to be kidding me?” Jon said. “But they were so into us it seemed.” He said as he looked at Richie. Richie was just trying to remember the night and how the girls were with them.

“Yeah they responded to us very nicely if you know what I mean.” Richie interjected.

“Well do you two remember anything after you guys left the party?” Dave asked them.

They looked at each other and for the life of them they couldn’t.

“That’s because they drugged both of you. Then they took you both…well we don’t know after that Tico and I couldn’t find either of you. My girl was in the bathroom when she overheard one of the other girlfriends after they left with you guys that the plan went off without a hitch and Tommy and Nikki will be thrill that it went off perfectly. We don’t know where they took you guys we’ve been searching all night.” Dave explained to them.

Running his hands thru his hair Jon looked over to the girl sitting in the chair who was listening to all this. “So where does she fit into all this?”

“Don't know?” Dave said.

Jon was about to approach when Richie stopped him. “Hey Kidd what are you doing?” he asked him.

“What the hell do you mean? I’m going to ask her who the hell she is.” Jon said annoyed.

“Well why don’t you let me ok?” he said to Jon who wasn’t in the mood for any of this or playing games.

Looking at him curiously Jon asked him, “Why? Don't you think I can do it? Or are you afraid I’ll scare her? Or worse she’ll stay with me and ignore you?” he asked him a wry smile.

“Very funny, right now you’re so mad you’re going to scare the hell out of her and then you’re never going to get anything out of her. Just let me use my Sambora charm and I’ll get what you need from her. And if you don’t trust me we can do it right here how’s that?” he told his best friend all snarky.

“Whatever I just want to know how this happened.” Jon spit out.

Richie sat a crossed from her and smiled that million watt smile at her. “Hi I told you my name was Richie and the guy over there with the long face and the one apparently you’re married to is Jon. The curly blonde one there is David and that one handsome one right there is Tico. Oh yeah and the one in the corner asleep is Alec.” He told her.

“Yeah I figured out who you guys were finally. My name is Sarah and I’m sorry for all the trouble.” She told them all rattled.

“Hey it’s all cool. Just one big question for ya ok? You’re not associated with Motley Crue are you?” he asked her and really hoped she wasn’t.

“No I’m not. Look all I did was come to Vegas with my dumbass of a fiance to get married. He dumbed me just before we were supposed to go down to the Chapel to get married. So then I headed to the bar and I really don’t drink but I thought Hey what the hell right I just got dumped so I had a few and the next thing I know I wake up here.” She told them as the tears started to run down her face again.

Well all the guys including Jon felt really bad for her. But why would someone do this to her? Walking up to her and kneeling in front of her Jon said, “Hey Sarah I’m really sorry for yelling at you. I’m just hung over and well I don’t take these kind of surprises very well. And to be truthful I thought you were in on it.” He explained to her.

“No I get it I really do. People always wanting something from you guys it’s ok. I just don’t know why I’m here either.” She told them.

“Sarah did your fiance give you a reason why he called off the wedding?” Richie asked.

“Um he said that he really wasn’t ready after all and that he wanted to see other people.” She told them still shook and a little sick herself.

“What a loser.” Dave said. “I mean you don’t go all the way to this point then call it off.”

“No you don’t. Sarah what’s his name and your last name.” Tico asked her.

“It’s Kyle Robertson and my last name is Mathers.”

“Look I’m going to give this to a friend of mine and see what he can come up with on this and the Crue. In the meantime take off those rings and deny everything. He’ll also look into this to see if this is real. If it is well he’ll see if we can get it annulled.” Tico told them.

Jon and Richie just looked at him. “What? What are those looks for?” Tico asked them.

“Well um isn’t an annulment…that means when a marriage isn’t consummated right?” Jon asked him nervously.

“You know damn well what it means.” Tico said irritated.     

“Well it might have been we don’t know only because we were both naked when we woke up.” Jon said wincing.

Tico just shooked his head and Richie and David tried not to laugh. Tico just looked at them as if he could kill them where they stood.

“Fine as far as we know you didn’t. Ok. You just didn’t and we’ll leave it at that!”  he told them as he left in search of aspirin.
