that’s the only way I’ll be satisfied,” Jim sang the last line from the new song. “All great things are forged in blood. We can consider Alyssa and Trailer Park our sacrifice to the Gods of Rock-n-Roll,” Jim said, “Are you in Mike?”
“Hell Yeah I am in, but you know I had to make at least a weak attempt to talk you out of your murderous thoughts.”
“You sure ain’t shittin’ about a weak attempt.”
“Well I never liked Trailer Park anyway. So what’s the plan of attack?”
“Oh I’ve got a few ideas Mike,” Jim said with a sinister grin.
“I bet you do Jim.”
“Yeah, but tonight we’ll hang with these chicks and get our kicks.”
“Hell yeah!”
“Hey,” Jim said, “Here’s Tyler with our good time women now.”

April screamed excitedly when she came into the dressing room. She ran over to Mike and wrapped her arms around him.
“Way to play it cool April,” Katrina said.
“Fuck playing it cool,” April said, “I’ve wanted to get this close to Mike for a long time.” She kissed Mike before he could have a chance to resist.

“Aren’t you the possessive one,” Jim said.

“No, not yet,” Katrina said.
“What did you see?”
“Well Jim,” Katrina said, “we saw…”
Paul couldn’t believe this was happening. He tripped and smacked his mug on the fire exit door, and then stumbled down the steps. He had dropped his cell phone. April quickly snatched it up before Paul could even realize it was missing.
“What the hell just happened to you Trailer Park?” Mike said, “Were you drinking tonight? ‘Cause you weren’t supposed to be boozin’ it up TP. You know Main Street in Bay Shore has Cops crawlin’ all over the damn place.”
“No I wasn’t drinking. I just tripped on something,” Paul
