Family reunion time (o2a if you want)

[asylum]

Location: The down town Chicago area

It had just turned midnight and a man was sitting at the bar in a crowded pub. He was wearing a trench coat with a hood, the hood was over his head covering his face up. He had been there since 5:00 p.m. doing nothing but drinking alone.

Can I get you anything else?

The bartender had come from out of nowhere it seemed. The hooded man just sat there for a couple of seconds before answering.

Yeah can get me another Jack?

Comin' right up.

The bartender went to go get a bottle of Jack Daniel's. The hooded man turned around and looked over the crowd. So many people in such a small pub it couldn't get much busy. The bartender returned and started pouring same Jack into a clean glass and placed it in front of the man.

Leave the bottle.

The bartender nodded and left the man to his drinking. About half an hour went by and he was already done with his bottle of Jack. He was starting to get a good buzz going by the time one of the pub waitress walked up to him.

Um?... Excuse me sir?

Yeah what do you want?

There is a large man to wards the back of the pub asking for you.

Hmm...

The hooded man stood up and looked over the heads of the crowd and spotted a large man in a corner booth.

Damn it not him...

To be continued

[asylum]

He had been watching the hooded man for about half an hour before he sent the waitress over to him. It had been awhile since the two had seen each other. Knowing that the man he asked for would not be too pleased so he called over another waitress.

Yes sir what can I get for you tonight?

Can I get a glass of water and a bottle of Jack Daniel's?

He took out his wallet and pulled a hundred dollars out and placed it in the hand of the waitress.

Yes sir. Coming right up.

The man in the hood was a few feet away from the table now taking his time as he walked. Questions were popping into his head one at a time. Every time he came up with another one he got more and more upset. He had finally made it to the table where the large man was and sat down. Both men looked at each other for a moment before the large man spoke.

So how have you been doing Cerberus?

Cerberus just looked at the large man. They hadn’t seen or spoken to each other for over four months and he wanted to make small talk? Cerberus couldn’t help himself anymore, he just couldn’t hold back.

You break contact with me out of the blue. Not a word for over four months, not a call, E-mail, fax or anything. I had to find out that you started your own business in Cleveland from one of our old friends. So I made the decision to go find you but I get part of the way there but I run out of money and can’t get to Cleveland. I’ve been stuck in this rat hole of a city for weeks and it ends up being you to find me and not the other way around…

You done yet?

NO I’M SURE AS HELL NOT DOEN YET YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!

Hey don’t forget that would make her your mother too.

You smart mouthed bastard, why don’t you go to hell…

Cerberus was about to turn around when the large man grabbed him by the arm.

HEY GET THE HELL OFF! LET ME GO!

Not until I’ve talked to you first.

Hey I’m going to have to ask you to leave.

A few of the pub’s bouncers had shown up around the table. By the look of same of them they looked kind all brawn and no brains. The one that spoke moved forward and repeated himself.

I’m going to have to ask you to leave.

Yeah why don’t you two freaks leave and don’t come back.

The large man let go of Cerberus’ arm and stood up. A few of the bystanders started to back away slowly at the sight of the 7’ plus giant standing in front of them. Some of the bouncers even got a little jumpy from the size of this man. He straightened his tie and asked in a low voice.

Not before I get my water and bottle of Jack.

No you’ll leave right now!

Do you really want to get between a giant and his drink? That would be the biggest mistake of your lives.

thats it you’re out of here.

Two of the men went to grab the giant man by his arms but he grabbed them both by their necks and pushed them back. Cerberus ran up to the lead bouncer and punched him in the face knocking him down. Then all hell broke loose and a brawl had begun.

[asylum]

Fifteen minutes had past and both men had fought their way out of the pub. They ran about eight blocks before taking a break to catch their breath. Cerberus was doubled over while the large man used a wall for back support. A minute went by before the man broke the silence.

That was close...

Yeah... Good thing we got out of there... Before the cops busted down the door...

The large man got off of the wall and started walking around still trying to catch his breath. He stopped in front of Cerberus and stared at him for a few moments before Cerberus noticed.

What is it? Am I bleeding or someth-...

From out of nowhere the man had punched Cerberus in the face knocking him over.

OW DAMN IT HADES WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?

Thats for punching me back in the pub before we ran out of there. Now we're even.

Hades stuck his hand out to help Cerberus back on to his feet. Once back to his feet Cerberus dusted himself off and looked at Hades.

So what was so damn important that we ended up starting a bar fight for?

Cerberus pulled out the bottle of Jack that Hades had payed for and started drinking.

Well its about this.

Hades pulled a folded up piece of paper from out of his suit and handed it to his brother. Cerberus took it and opened it with his free hand. Cerberus started looking over it reading out loud as he did.

Starting December 1st, Global Championship Wrestling will start contracting...blah blah blah...show will start on January 7th... ya-dah ya-dah... Living costs and health benefits shall be covered during the time of your employment with GCW, as well as travel costs covered... Is this it, this is the thing you wanted to talk to me about?

Yes I found that floating around my offices and I thought it looked a good idea.

So you want to bring back The Asylum?

Yes, that was the plan. You in?

Cerberus took another drink from the bottle and looked at the paper.

Hell yeah I'm in.
