*`*`*`*Jamie Brant*`*`*`*

[ Jamie Brant is casually sitting at the bar in kokomo's inside of the Mirage hotel on the Vegas strip. She orders a drink and takes a sip. Then turns around at the entrance way. She sighs for a moment then perks up when she notices Alex Wilkins walk in. She sits up straight and yells while waving her hand. In a very groupie like way. ]

Jamie Brant: "Oooooo....Alex...over here."

[ Alex's attention diverts from his inner-reflection over to the source of the noise and he stops walking. He smiles and nods his head in recognition. A little ego inflating before settling in couldn't hurt. He walks over casually in his now ever-present rockstar-grunge style uniform. Todays t-shirt that of The Ramones. Old-school. ]

Alex Wilkins: "What's the story , Mornin' Glory ?"

Jamie Brant: "Ah, nothing really. Just relaxing after the long drive."

[ Jamie leans back against the bar and trying to be a bit more sexy sticking out her chest. She tilts the head towards Alex.]

Jamie Brant: "I guess I never realized the travel time that goes along with the job and how lonely it can be...."

[ She pauses then bats her eyes. ]

Jamie Brant: "Would you like a drink?"

[ Alex looks up towards the check-in desk for a split second but even he can't deny his eyes were pretty drawn to Jamie's out-thrust chest for a moment. He quickly shrugs it off and takes a seat , pushing his hair back over his head. ]

Alex Wilkins: "I've always been sure to accept an offer like that from a lady."

[ His eyebrows ruffle for a second. ]

Alex Wilkins: "No fat chicks , natch."

[ Moving on quickly he shuffles to sit facing Jamie. ]

Alex Wilkins: "You'll get used to it. Travelling alone , I mean."

Jamie Brant: "Maybe so....but I guess you can only entertain yourself for so long before you want some company. Don't you think?"

Alex Wilkins: "We're in Vegas , Doll. Company comes cheap."

[ Jamie turns to the side and snaps her fingers at the bartender.]

Jamie Brant: "Hey....hey...."

[ She frowns not getting his attention right way and pounds her fist on the bar. ]

Jamie Brant: "I make more in one night than you do in a week....This is cutting into how much I'll leave you for a tip...now Pay ATTENTION TO ME!"

[ Finally getting his attention the bartender walks over and looks at her. ]

Bartender: "So what can I get for you."

[ Jamie looks at Alex. ]

Jamie Brant: "So handsome what will it be?"

Alex Wilkins: "Shirley Temple , dammit and extra frilly crap coming outta it."

[ Alex returns the bartenders sarcastic smirk and looks at Jamie with a rather impressed , smouldering pout. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Bells Whiskey. Either Bells or that guy fired , I want both but I'll settle for either."

[ The bartender smirks at Alex. Jamie waves him a way. ]

Jamie Brant: "Fetch the man is whiskey...chop...chop..."

[ Shaking his head the bartender walks away to get the drink. Jamie smiles at Alex then shivers. ]

Jamie Brant: "Oh...I'm ringing..."

[ She laughs and removes her cell phone from the back of her pants pocket. ]

Jamie Brant: "No..my cell was on vibrate...excuse me.."

[ putting her index finger up she flips her phone open. ]

Jamie Brant: "Yep...ummm not yet...give me a chance. Yes, I know...fine..bye."

[ She roughly shuts the phone and smiles. ]

Jamie Brant: "damn reports...so pushy.."

[ Alex nods slightly with an amused smile threatening to crack. ]

Alex Wilkins: "My solution is to not own a cellphone. If someone needs to get in touch with me that badly they'll find a way. I'm still waiting on the day a cloaked shadow on horse back tells me where my next booking is. We've all gotta dream something."

[ Jamie laughs loudly and slaps her knee as if she had just heard the funniest thing ever. She leans over and puts her hand on Alex's chest. ]

Jamie Brant:"I could really go listening to some good music. And it just occurred to me, that I have no idea what you like. So do you think you can go to the juke box and pick out something cool?"

Alex Wilkins: "Well I don't know. I mean... we're in Vegas. Isn't it the law that we play Copa Cabana over and over ? I dunno , maybe. Maybe we'll strike it rich and find some Depeche Mode. Alright , lets see. Ian Dury & The Blockheads ?"

[ Alex gets up and wanders over still making rather batshit suggestions to himself , mainly for his own amusement. When he gets there he wastes absolutely no time in selecting "Running With The Devil" by Van Halen. 'Cause yes , he rocks. Jamie looks over noticing Alex with his head down pressing the song selection number. The bartender returns and puts down Alex's drink. Quickly Jamie reaches into her pocketbook and takes out a bottle marked "rohypnol" she quickly takes out two pills and crushes them with a spoon on the edge of the bar. She brush it in the drink and mixes it up. Starring at the drink she notices everything has melted and puts the evidence away. Alex makes his way back and Jamie raises her glass.]

Jamie Brant: "Hey...cool song...is it like from the 70's ?"

[ Alex smiles a little as he sits back down and lifts his glass up. ]

Alex Wilkins: "1978... first track on their first album. History , indeed."

[ Lifting his glass , he goes to take a drink but stops short. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Didn't they teach you this stuff in school ?"

Jamie Brant:"No...they thought it would be better if they taught us how to actually know about history...go figure."

[ Jamie rolls her eyes and lifts her glass.]

Jamie Brant: "How about a toast?"

[ Alex bows his head for a second and raises his glass. ]

Jamie Brant: "Great....how about this....There once was a man named Sydney..who had a shrivled kidney...it shrivled and shrank, but he drank and he drank...he had fun doing it...now didn't he?"

[ Jamie smiles and winks at Alex. ]

Alex Wilkins: "To Sydney. About whom we kid because we love."

Jamie Brant: "Cheers.."

[ Jamie quickly downs her shot then slams her glass on the counter. Alex follows suit and lets out a sharp hiss afterwards but is no rookie. Oblivious but no rookie. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Babaganoosh."

[ Jamie sits there just looking at alex. Then looks at her watch. ]

Jamie Brant: "Do you want another drink?"

[ Alex returns Jamie's look then looks down at his bare wrist. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Do it."

[ His eyes wander off to the left independantly as if to try and leave but he quickly rights them. After a seconds contemplation he just nods. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Yeah. Do it."

Jamie Brant: "Alright then....bar keep..."

[ Jamie snaps her fingers and shouts. ]

Jamie Brant: 'Another round please..."

[ The bartender quickly brings two more shots and places then infront of Jamie and Alex. Jamie picks up her glass and pushes Alex's over towards him. ]

Jamie Brant: "Alex...cheers?"

Alex Wilkins: "For King and Country."

[ Alex picks up his shot and throws it back. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Lunch Wagon."

[ Jamie shrugs not having a clue what Alex means but downs her shot. Then looks at Alex to see what's going on.]

Jamie Brant: "Alex....do you think that maybe you can walk me to my room?" [

She stands up then has to use the bar to stay standing.]

Jamie Brant: "I had a few before you got here, and I'm afraid I over did it."

Alex Wilkins: "No , dammit."

[ Alex slides to his feet with a smile and puts an arm around Jamie's lower back. His ankles turn to jelly for a second but he grabs his balance. ]

Alex Wilkins: "We'll get you there in one pice , Kid."

Jamie Brant: "Thanks..."

[ Jamie puts her hand on his shoulder and walks next to him to the elevator. She presses the button and leans against the wall. ]

Jamie Brant: 'Whoa....didn't expect this feeling..."

[ Alex had been momentarily distracted by how far away the floor suddenly seems but perks up to look at Jamie. When he talks , his words are a little slurred in places but he doesn't realise that. ]

Alex Wilkins: "What feeling is that then ?"

Jamie Brant: "Haaahahahaha...."

[ Jamie can't stop giggling as the door opens and she stubles in. Almost falling on the floor she looks up holding herself up against the wall. ]

Jamie Brant: "Dude...I think I can feel the fuckin' earth move.."

Alex Wilkins: "Did you touch a crackhead ?"

[ Alex follows Jamie into the elevator and props himself in the corner. Walking his hands along the wall to get there. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Contact... high... you know... shi' li' tha'."

Jamie Brant: "No...."

[ Jamie stands up and pushs the 8 button. ]

Jamie Brant: "There that's the one..We'll be at my room in a minute."

[ Alex's slurring has gotten pretty bad but he manages to pull it together for a second. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Why... whats up there ?"

Jamie Brant: "Duh...my room..."

[ Jamie's eyes grow wide and she laughs. As the doors open. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Who the fucks microwaving in here ?"

[ Alex lumbers out of the elevator , his left foot feeling rather strangely heavy to him. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Heavy boot. Never notic-ed this befo'."

Jamie Brant: "Ha! You have boots and they're heavy.."

[ Jamie laughs as she stumbles to the door taking alex's hand and dragging him along. they reach the door and she reaches around to her back pocket and takes out her room card. And after a minute struggle opens the door. She turns around and stumbles back a second then looks at Alex.]

Jamie Brant: 'Want to come in?"

[ He was already leaning against the door frame , so going in just seems to make alotta sense. ]

Alex Wilkins: "Sounds.. li' the smart thing to do."

[ Alex steps in and goes to rub his eyes twice , missing both times before he nails it on the third. ]
