have never seen an incident so ridiculous as this in 23
years of being a security guard. I feel like I’ve been taking
drugs.”
    I shrugged my
shoulders. “Think yourself lucky. You wouldn’t believe the year
I’ve had.”
    “But that’s
just it,” Rick interrupted. “I can’t go on like this. We can’t go on like this! I’ve been living with this sort of madness
all my adult life.”
    Louisa looked
at Rick, her hands cuffed behind her back. “Hey! Who are you
calling mad? I think you’ll find the politically correct term is
‘mentally ill’. Don’t you stigmatise me!”
    Rick slapped
his palm repeatedly against his forehead. “Not you. Me! My life is
mad! Crazy! Ri-fucking-diculous! ”
    “Well,” Louisa
snorted, “maybe you attract it.”
    “Maybe I do.
And maybe, just maybe, I can break the chain.” He looked over to
me, smiling. “You’re the one thing, Amy, that’s totally sane in my
life. You’re the one thing that loves me for who I am and who I
could be. I have to stop living like this, Amy. I need some degree
of normality, some kind of simplicity or I’m going to just be lost
forever. I want to be a better father, Amy, but first I need to be
a better man. You make me that. You make me far more than I thought
I could ever be.”
    I felt my
insides fill with so much with love for this man I thought my heart
would spill out onto the floor of the hotel room. “I love you,
Rick, you big dope.”
    “Will you take
this loser and make him right?” he grinned.
    “You mean
‘beautiful loser’?”
    “See what she
did there?” Roger whispered to the hotel manager. “His band was
called something like that. Clever.”
    Rick stepped
forward. “Marry me, Amy. Marry this beautiful loser.”
    I felt my jaw
drop. “You…you’re proposing to me?” He nodded. “In your
underpants?”
    Rick looked
down. “I guess so. At least I haven’t got a semi.”
    Louisa barked
at me. “Well, don’t just stand there, you idiot. This bum just took
a bullet for you.”
    “Air pellet,” I
replied. “Two of them.”
    “Whatever. You
want to marry this clown or not?” I nodded. “Well, hurry up and say
yes then so I can get the hell out of here. There’s a hot meal
waiting for me at the police station and I’m fricking
famished.”
    “Yes,” I said,
grinning from ear to ear. “I’ll marry you, you beautiful loser.” He
wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. “Mmm,” I mumbled. “Now
you have a semi. Settle down, there’s people about.”
    Suddenly, we
heard sobbing and turned to see one of the officers dabbing his
eyes with a handkerchief. “Beautiful. Just beautiful. That’s made
my day, that has.”
    Louisa kicked
his shin. “Knock it off, you big pussy! Not such a tough guy
without that gun, are you? Maybe I should have tried out some kung
fu moves on you morons. I would have put your asses down!”
    The other
officer began dragging her away. “My God, this is like a cartoon.
Come on, I need to read you your rights.”
    “Take me away,
fellas,” Louisa snarled. She paused as she passed me. “Look after
him, will you?”
    I nodded. “I
promise.”
    “For all his
faults…he’s something special, that one.”
    As Louisa was
led away, the hotel manager nervously backed out of the room with
Roger. “Well, thank goodness that’s all over. I’m sure the police
will be up soon to take a statement. Can I get you two lovebirds
anything?”
    “The biggest
bottle of champagne you have,” Rick boomed. “We’re celebrating. How
many people get shot and engaged in the same day, huh?”
    Roger poked his
head back around the door. “Just out of curiosity, miss…since
you’re actually intending to marry this individual, does this sort
of thing happen often?”
    “Oh this?” I
smiled. “This is just a quiet day.”

    “I’m going to
have to lose some weight for the wedding.”
    Rick smacked my
leg with a bridal brochure. “No you’re damn well not,” he
