"you stole a police car" the cop said as he sat down next to his partner. he was a tall stout man that looked like he was about to enjoy whatever suffering he was about to put them into.

"we didn't steal it we found it." stu explained. if logic and humor could be put into one simple phrase then stu would say it. sometimes he joked as a coping mechanism cause he couldn't find other ways to express house he felt. olivia did the same thing but in a whole other level.

"yeah if anything we should get a trophie" olivia seemed ticked already. not wanting to give them a second of her time. she did notice that the taller cop was about to get a glimpse of enjoyment from them being arrested so she thought it best to mess with him because of it. what was he gonna do? arrest her?

"or some type of reward" alan backed her up seriously. he really didn't mind anything that was happening. as long as he got to experience it with this group he didn't care what happened.

"we see assholes like y'all every day. every fucking day." the other cop said. this cop was shorter and rounder and seemed to have less pleasure from then being punished and more annoyed that she had to show up today at all.

olivia rolled her eyes. "you think we want to be here jackass?"

"oh you're fiery. you think it's funny to steal a cop car?" the man said tapping his fingers together.

"okay first of all" she pointed between her friends. "severely intoxicated at the time. which you would know if you were with your own car. and second. yeah. it is. it's fucking funny okay?"

the policeman laughed at her amused by her words. "i like her"

the other cop spoke up. "did you just admit to being intoxicated?"

liv rolled her eyes and sighed. "we were drugged. are you made we didn't offer you any? we ran out of donuts before we hit mlk boulevard"

phil grabbed her hand trying to calm her down a little. "officers? i'm a schoolteacher, i'm no hero." he had a more gentle approach. "but if one of my kids went missing on a field trip, that would look bad on me." he said catching what olivia was putting down.

the male officer glared at him. olivia batted her eyelashes and reached her hand forward placing it on the officers. "well maybe if we can-

"no uh girl. that won't work on him." the female officer said smacking her hand away.

"well let's hear her out" he said graciously. olivia smiled.

the officer seemed very taken with her. "officer-"she looked at his badge. "franklin" he grinned. "we would like to get out of here and i'm sure you both wouldn't appreciate the entirety of las vegas being aware of how easy it is to get one of those bad boys. " she said referring to the cars.

both cops knew they could get in trouble but they couldn't let them go just like that. obviously if they were to keep quiet about one thing it shouldn't be to hard for another thing.

Franklin nodded and saw as his partner pointed to a sheet of paper. "do you guys have any heart problems?"

-

they were brought into a blue room with desks and a bunch of tiny visitors. franklin lined up the boys. "you kids are in for a real treat today these gentleman have kindly volunteered to demonstrate how a stun gun is used"

their eyes widened and the all backed up with fear. franklin grabbed stu by the arm. "who wants to go first?" he said talking to the kids in a sing song voice.

a small girl raised her hand and she stepped up and the officer handed her a stun gun. they were all waiting to see what happened and then she pulled the trigger and tazed stu making him fall to the ground.

olivia was suprised but in the end she thought it was funny and had to hold back a laugh.

Franklin looked in their direction after finishing up his own laughter. "let's go handsome" he said waiting for the next victim.

Alan sheepishly walked forward and phil stepped back, bumping into livia who was right behind him. it was funny to see him scared. "you okay bub?" she giggled as he tried to hold her hand frantically. "i think it's your turn." she whispered.

"no not you fat Jesus" the officer said to Alan. he pushed him out of the way and angled his gaze towards Phil, a devilish smile on his face.

"pretty boy". the officer started. Phil looked at Olivia for some assistance but there wasn't a lot she could do. "baby, cmon." his eyes pleaded for some sort of help. officer franklin watched and glared at Phil. olivia nodded and pushed him. "get over there pretty boy" franklin pulled him over to where the next kid was standing.

he explained how to aim it. "you can go rough on this one he can take it." he patted phil's cheek and backed up. the kid raised the stun gun and shocked him right between the legs. olivia's hand shot right up to her mouth in shock.

after all three boys were on the ground franklin went up to Liv. "is he your boyfriend?" he pointed to phil. she shook her head 'no' only cause she didn't want to get tazed. "you sure?" she nodded again. "okay" he rubbed her back. "you guys have a good one." he winked. "cmon kids let's go do fingerprints."

-

Stu paced around. "you can't just taze people because you think it's funny. that's literally police brutality. this is bullshit" he was fuming now and walking in circles.

olivia stood up. "i'm getting a soda do you guys want anything?"

Phil looked at her with eyes no one else had seen. his tired gaze held, for just a moment, the most vulnerability she had ever seen in him. in anyone really. she could see the hurt in his face and a look that told her he wasn't sure how to get out of this.

He said nothing and stared into the dirt. Stu had gone to the restroom and Alan stood up and walked into the store with her. She turned around and Phil's eyes followed her and seemed to scream come back please. she understood and handed Alan a 20$ letting him get what he needed.

The door shut and it was just the two of them outside waiting for the car. She sat down next to him. It was hard to tell if he needed reassurance or silence right now.

they sat there for a second and just enjoyed each others presence. or tried to at least. not much could be seen as enjoyable right now.

Olivia turned to face him and put her hand on his cheek. with the other hand she took off his sunglasses and brushed her fingers through his hair. he gave a hint of a smile but nothing genuine.

he rubbed her arm and slightly shifted towards her. "you're a strong man, you know that?" he breathed out a laugh and kissed her cheek.

Phil slowly turned her face towards his. "you're a gentle woman, you know that?" their noses brushed against each other. he leaned closer to her inhaling her floral scent she wore. their faces now inches apart and he kissed her.

all his worries washed away and he felt a weight lifted off of his shoulders. he had never felt so content than in that exact moment. he cupped her face with his large hand and brought her closer to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck, playing with his hair.

their lips moved in unison. it was gentle and neither of them felt like they were rushed. for all they cared they had all the time in the world.

she pulled away and their foreheads connected as they looked into each others eyes. her eyes were pure and his held a sense of security. at that moment, they were at peace.

of course it was interrupted though. the valet pulled their mercedes around to the front of the building and they quickly stood up. both of them sighed in relief as there was not a scratch on it. he jumped and hugged her around her waist. "thank you" he kissed her again, smiling and jogged over to the car.

Alan and Stu came out with some drinks for everyone. Stu handed Liv a lemonade and gave her a hug after he saw the car. "wow, it's not a total shit show" he said laughing. She laughed and cracked open the lemonade.

"let's fucking go"

-

"anything?" Liv asked looking back at stu and alan in the car while they looked around. if they could find something in the car that sparked their memory then maybe it would make finding doug a little bit easier.

"a shoe" Alan held up a black boot. "is this yours?"

she took it in her hand and examined it. "this is a men's size six"

"huh that's weird." he pulled a used latex out from under the seat. "is this a snakeskin?" when he realized what it was he threw it and it landed on Phil's shoulder.

"ALAN" liv yelled trying to flick it off his shoulder while he drove. "that's gross, don't do that" Phil gave her a funny look and she laughed.

she put her feet on the dashboard. "we gotta get it together guys." she crossed her arms and sighed. "the car is fine and i want to keep our good luck streak so don't fuck it up."

just then there were thuds coming from the trunk. Phil turned around. "what the fuck is that." the listened for a second waiting to hear it again.

it thudded and bonked around so after coming to a conclusion they said.

"doug's in the trunk!"

"doug's in the trunk?"

"DOUGS IN THE TRUNK"

"YES I KNEW WE COULD DO IT" olivia celebrated and Phil pulled the car over excitedly.

the dirt roads made it easy to stop when needed cause they were so deserted. no one does anything in vegas at 2:30 in the afternoon.

they ran out of the car and popped the trunk. it was not doug. a naked man with a crowbar jumped on phil and started to scream and hit him.

the man flailed around frantically and jumped off of Phil making Phil fall to the ground. he then approached Alan and Stu.

"you gonna fuck on me?" he asked Alan who was about to cry. he whacked alan with it and ran back to phil.

everyone started yelling and olivia ran towards him and pushed him off phil. "The fuck are you doing you dumb shit" he flinched and then swung at her. he missed and he swung again. this time he hit her right in the stitches. the man ran over to stu. "NO, DONT YOU FUCKIN DARE" olivia said almost falling over. this man was gonna see literal hell if he laid a finger on stu.

he hit Stu about three times and before she could say anything else he swung at her again.

yeah he was gonna see hell.

she partially caught it and partially got hit in the face. olivia pulled the crowbar out of his hands and Phil ran up behind her standing tall.

"who the fuck are you!?" she asked holding up the crowbar. he struggled to get up and then screamed as he ran away. after he was gone olivia collapsed and luckily phil was there to catch her.

they sunk to the ground and he held her as they all leaned up against the car. "who the hell was that?" Stu asked.

Olivia lifted up her shirt to find her stitches bleeding. "shit" Phil shook his head. "i'm gonna kill that son of a bitch."

"i'm fine Phil" he rubbed her shoulder.

"somebody call 911" stu screamed. if they weren't in a panic before they were now.

Alan fell over and looked like he was going to cry. "guys i need to tell you something" they all looked at him. "last night before we went out...

he paused

"i slipped something in our jagermeister" Stu was pissed. he was almost not suprised but the adrenaline they were all feeling was not helping. "you drugged us!?"

"no i didn't drug you" alan breathed

"then what the fuck happened alan?" phil said frustrated. he cracked his knuckles and sat olivia up so he could move a bit more.

"i thought it was ecstasy, which olivia clearly dosent need." he almost laughed.

"excuse me" alan says a lot of dumb shit but he very often crosses a line.

"i thought that maybe if she had a little more than the rest of us then she would want to do me"

she almost threw up at his words and Phil was about to get up and knock him out but she pulled him back down. "Alan i cannot believe you right now."

"i'm sorry guys. i just wanted to have a good time." he pouted.

olivia looked around. "at least we know it wasn't a stranger that did it." Phil looked down at her, thankful for her optimism right now.

"okay let's just go"

-

when they got back to their room they could hear music playing from inside. livia went to open the door.

"what about the tiger?" Alan said worried.

"shit i keep forgetting about the fucking tiger." phil stepped in front of liv blocking her from entering. he gave her a glare.

"Phil it's a big cat, i'll be fine" she opened the door and looked around. someone was playing the piano.

they all stepped in and quietly walked around. as soon as she turned the corner she ran into a familiar face. Phil didn't know who he was and yelled. "who the hell are you!?"

"no who the hell are you?" the tall man asked. he looked down noticing olivia. "oh hey pretty girl, long time no see." he gave her a high five. she happily accepted realizing it was leonard who was Mike tyson's bodyguard.

"quiet, quiet" mike stood from the piano and came over to them.

"mike tyson?" phil was stunned, now actually believing what olivia said this morning.

he pointed at liv "fishy girl" and gave her a high five too. "ssshh it's my favorite part coming up." he motioned drums with his hand and started to sing. he motioned for them to join him.

shocked as they were they did join him. the group started to sing with him "i can feel it, coming in the air tonight. oh lord" he finished the drum line chorus and punched alan in the face suddenly.

"holy shit what was that for." phil questioned frantically.

mike pointed at liv. "your friends here stole my tiger"

Phil and Stu rushed to Alan's side while Olivia tried to reason with him. "hold on that was completely unnecessary" phil said defensively but still stunned cause he was talking to mike tyson. "we got in all kinds of trouble last night and we can't find our friend."

"your brother?" mike asked.

Liv nodded.

stu looked so out of it. "look if you wanna kill us then go right ahead cause i don't care anymore" olivia's heart broke at that and smacked his arm. "sorry mike, can we just give him back to you now and forget about this."

"fishy girl, this is hardly my problem. y'all got him here so you gonna take him home." he put his hand on her head while he spoke which made phil contort his face out of confusion.

the two of them started to walk out. "don't make me come back for him" he warned as he opened the door. "you wanna come with us fish?" he said gesturing to olivia. her face lit up and then she looked at phil. "i gotta help these shits with your cat." he nodded and shut the door.

"how the fuck are we gonna do this" stu said.
