<<She Is A Bartender?>>

[faith]

Ashley smirked, "Fine, come on" she said taking his hand and leading him through the croud. When they reached the door she pushed it open and took a breath of the cool air. Once they were outside she slowly closed the door

"I am just, sorry for what happened, Its just you are so much like my father and I dont know for a quick second when I looked at you I saw him" She sunk down to the floor and patted the floor next to her to tell him to sit.

"Thats why I said 'I love you', because I thought you were him, I mean the sound of your voice, they way you look and talk, and mainly the way you act. It just strongly reminds me of him" She said "And I guess, I got embarrassed so thats why I am like BLAH right now" she smiled and gave a little gigge

"I hope you understand...." she mouthed to him with a sheer smile.

ooc|| Too lazy to change accounts >.<

Reed had no choice but to follow her outside. It was a little cold, hence September. He sat down next to her. He listened to her. He was never really mistakened as a father, but, everyone was different, right? "Of course I understand!" He said and gave Ashley a hug. "So why don't we go back inside, and finish getting people drunk. Then, we'll se where everything goes fromt here."

He got up, offering a hand. For some reason, he felt that Ashley wasn't telling the whole story, but it wasn't like himself to ask. He usually pretended like nothing happened. Ignoring. Yeah, that was him.[/size]

[faith]

She smiled and stood up. "Ok lets go!" she laughed as she held the door open for him. She knew that he caught onto her but she had to just forget about it and keep working.

"So, would you like a drink?" She asked repeating her question from before. She smiled bigger and tugged her shirt down a little bit as a nervouse habit.

Now that that was over with she could have a good time!

[Oscar Lyon]

ooc|| I am just the little hopper with accounts tonight.

"I have been dying for one," he admitted. "Surprise me though."

He lead her back through the entrance and behind the bar once again. Just as people, (mostly girls to say the least,) bombarded them with order of drinks. "Now," he started at Ashley, "serving fast and quick. Satisfy the customer, so they want more." As he was saying this, he popped the cap off of a beer and tossed to one of the eager drinkers. "See? Easy."

[/size]

[faith]

She smiled and started to fill out orders from the thirsty alcohalics. "What do you want?" she asked him. She didnt want to give him something that wouldnt please him. It felt good to be back inside. It was way to cold outside for even the warmest person!

[sorry, I have really bad writers block tonight!!! GAH]

[Oscar Lyon]

ooc|| That's ok, didn't give you much to go on.

He tossed another beer to someone before answering Ashley's question, "I've had all these drinks we make, as long as it's not a virgin, I'll be good," he replied as the band lauched into yet another song. Then he heard it. He had heard the distinct sound before.

A gun shot.

It was outside, yes, but audible, even for the party-goers inside the club. It only took a moment for everyone to register that someone was outside shooting something, and that caused everyone break out into total chaos. Reed and Ashley were the only people working the bar tonight. "Fuck." he said and looked at Ashley. He squatted down to the shelves where they hid other drinks, and a few things like baseball bats to split up the bar fights.[/size]

[faith]

Ashley looked at Reed, she went down with him. "What was that?" she asked. She knew it was a gunshot but why? Who was hurt? Was it a friend of hers? Were the planning to rob the place. She broke out into a small sweat

"Whats going on?" she asked demanding an answer. She was starting to become afraid. She was way to young to die! "I'm to young to die" she whinned sounding like and 8 year old. She really didnt care though because when it came to her life she didnt care what people thought of her!

[Oscar Lyon]

Reed noticed Ashley starting to freak out, but he couldn't blame her. He sure did the first time it happened. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down behind the counter. "Ashley, you got to listen to me. You're not going to die," he said. "A few months ago, some gang members from L.A came down just to scare everyone. I'm sure this is no different."

He kneeled on his knees and poked his head out from the counter. Everyone was still running around. There was really only one exit out of Nonsense, which was against the firecode. But, no one knew what to do, since the shooter was obviously outside. But, what if he came inside?

He looked back at Ashley, "Are you going to stay here, or follow me?"[/size]

[faith]

She held onto his arm. "I'll follow you" she said while a tear ran down her cheek. She was taking deep breaths to calm herself down. Her hair was sticking to her face from sweat. "A gang?" she asked "Thats even worse!" she half shouted

Her breath was becomeing heavier and she had began to hold onto his arm tighter. She followed him to where he was going.

[Reed Turner]

"Ok, stay close, don't get lose in the crowd," Reed told her as he got up from his hiding spot. The last time this happened, the real manager of Nonsense was here. He just went boldly out gave the guys some drugs and they went back on their merry way back to L.A. Would that work this time? He knew that Mr. Pot-head kept some drugs in his office, so right before they left the bar, he greabbed some keys.

The band was long deserted from the stage, probably hiding in the dressing room, so it didn't take long for Reed to hop up on stage. After helping Ahsley up on stage, Reed looked over the crowd, how were screaming and it seemed to be moshing. "Over here," he told Ashley and grabbed her hand and dissappeared behind stage, down a little hallway.

With Manager slapped across the door, Reed slid the key into the keyhole and swung it open. He waited to make sure Ashley was in the office before shutting and locking the door. He pointed to cabinets, the desk, and file storages. "Help me look for some drugs."[/size]

[faith]

Ashley was confused but began to look for drugs. She stopped and looked at him "Your not gonna try to get me high so I shut up are you?" she asked. She knew it was one of the stupidest things to say but whatever. She opened a cabnit and found a huge stash of weed.

"Hey Reed come over here, I found weed!" once she said that she burst out laughing. The resemblance in the 2 names was amazing. "Sorry, the name thing...its just kinda funny" she said still laughing.

[Reed Turner]

Reed laughed, "No, I acted like you the last time this happened. So, I wasn't crying but I was pretty freaked out," he admitted as he rummeged through some things. He found some rolled up $100 dollar bills and stuffed it inside his pocket, just in case.

He walked over to Ashley who said she found some weed. He picked up the bag. He laughed, "I found it funny too. Yeah, this will do it." he shoved that in his pocket as well. He started to open up the door, but stop, "What I'm about to do is illegal. I really wouldn't want to get you invovled, but if you come... I don't even know what to expect,"[/size]

[faith]

Ashley stood up "If you go down" she said looking him in the eyes "I'm going down with you" she said acting as if they were in the army.

"Now lets get this over with so we could get back to work!" she laughed. Her laughted was making her calm down. She followed Reed down the hall and back onto the stage. The screams from the panicking people were killing her ears. They seemed to be getting louder and louder by the minute, no, no, the second.

She took things into her own hands and picked up the microphone "Everyone" she said waiting for the people "Just calm down and have fun ok!" she said smiling at them. "You are all going to be safe!" she smiled and took her mouth from the mic.

"I hope..." she whispered to herself

[Reed Turner]

Reed smiled as she tried and reasurred the people. Some of them stopped, most of them saw Reed with her and they all seemed to have hope in their eyes. "Reed'll save us!" and "What the hell was that?"

He waved to them all as he turned back to Ashley and gently grabbed her hand and whispered so know one would over hear. "Ashley, you have to pretend nothing is wrong. Don't freak. This will be pretty intense."

He led her to the door where the bouncer stood loking out one of the small windows, "Reed, I can't tell if anyone's hurt, but they are gang members. Just like the last time."

Reed patted his shoulder. "I'll take care of it Phil. Just make sure, not one gets in or out. Understand?" he asked. Phil nodded and he looked back at Ashley. "Are you ready?"[/size]

[faith2]

Ashley nodded. She watched the movements in his feet and decided to take the same steps as he did at the same time. It was something that calmed her down. Ever scince she was a child she had done this.

It was something she had gotten fromm her old babysitter.

She looked out the window noticing large men. Obviously with guns. She was about to freak out but it was too late to do that. She was about the hold close to Reed, but that would show her fear and if she showed fear the gangsters would take her as a weak person, and might as well gang up on her!
