Jeszika Gautier is asleep in the passenger seat of her car with Merlyn "Rocket" Harper driving and Cynthia "Sin" Conway in the backseat behind him. Rocket guides the car on down the highway as Sin starts to drift off, Jeszika seemingly getting ready to snore in the seat next to him. Suddenly, Jeszika sits bolt upright, unhappily awake with a small scream, looking around panicked. In the backseat, Sin jumps, suddenly just as awake.
Sin: Oh my God!
Rocket glances over, trying to check on everyone and keep an eye on the road at the same time..
Rocket: Shit... uh... Ma'am, are you...?
Jeszika: I.... uh.... it was just a dream... just a bad dream...
She shakes her head.
Jeszika: It was nothing. Over active imagination is all...
Rocket nods and looks back to the road.
Rocket: Helluva dream, Ma'am.
Sin giggles.
Sin: You know she looks at you weird every time you "Ma'am" her, right, Merl?
Rocket shrugs.
Rocket: I...
Jeszika: I'm just not used to such manners.
Rocket: My Mama would have slapped me if I didn't say it.
Jeszika: Your mother raised you well.
Sin nods.
Sin: God rest her soul.
Rocket nods as Sin pulls her vial out.
Sin: Anybody want any?
Jeszika: How far from home are we?
Rocket glances at the clock.
Rocket: Like, half an hour.
Jeszika: Sure I'll have some.
Sin hands it up to her. Jeszika takes some and hands it back to her.
Jeszika: Thanks a lot for this guys. .. you have no idea how much I truly appreciate this.
Rocket: Yes'm, no problem.
Sin accepts her vial back and has a little before putting the stuff away.
Sin: Is New Orleans as pretty as everybody always says it is?
Jeszika: Hell yeah.
Rocket frowns.
Rocket: Did you and Sky go there right when y'all was meetin?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: No, that was in Georgia and then we went up to Canada.
Rocket nods.
Rocket: I thought y'all had...
Jeszika: The South is a big place, easy to get confused.
Rocket nods.
Rocket: We're both from Florida.
Jeszika: Nice.
Sin nods.
Sin: Means he didn't try to game me or nothin'.
Jeszika: Game you?
Sin nods.
Sin: Yeah, you know, when drunken frat guy typed come up and give you a line that they hope will get you to...
Jeszika: Ahh, those kind of guys.... yeah good thing he didn't do that to you.
Sin: He's probably blushin' right now.
Jeszika looks over at Rocket.
Jeszika: Yep totally blushing.
Sin: Goddamn cute!
Jeszika: Yeah, a bit.
Rocket blushes harder.
Sin: Doing it more now, ain't he?
Jeszika: Yep.
Sin: God, I love you, Lynnie!
Jeszika: Lynnie?
Rocket: Merlyn...
Jeszika: Aahhh.
Sin nods enthusiastically.
Jeszika: So we home yet... no point going back to sleep.
Rocket: We'll be there in a minute and then... um...
Jeszika: What?
Rocket: Well, I don't quite know what the plan is then, Ma'am.
Jeszika: Well it is late and I do have a spare room if you wanted to stay the night?
Sin's eyes light up.
Rocket: You're sure it ain't no imposition, Ma'am? I'm sure Dub could set us up somewhere if we called him.
Jeszika: you just drove me half way across the country it's the least I could do
Sin: Lynnie... don't be an idiot! You need sleep and she's offering you a place for it for free!
Jeszika: Yeah what she said.
Rocket: We ain't gonna get you in no trouble?
Jeszika: How exactly would you get me in trouble?
Sin: Lynnie, stop worrying so much. You only get like this when you're tired.
Jeszika: Men... like tired kiddys....
Sin shrugs.
Sin: He learned it from Rick.
Jeszika: A worrying man does mean he cares though.
Sin smiles, nodding her agreement.
Sin: I know he does.
Jeszika: I know mine does too. Probably worried sick cause I'm not home yet.
Rocket: Is he gonna be there?
Jeszika: Possibly, he does have his own house but we spend a lot of time at each others place. Same with my girl. She has her own house by stays at mine and his a lot.
Sin: One of each? Nice... do they party too?
Jeszika: Kris, no... Care... used to.
Sin: So I should like... hide it when we get there?
Jeszika: Maybe.
Sin: Maybe?
Jeszika: Yes.
Sin: Yes Ma'am.
Rocket nods.
Rocket: We're here... I think...
Jeszika looks out the window.
Jeszika: Yep, this is the place. Good job!
Rocket nods and pulls into the driveway. As the car comes to a stop, he eases it into park and turns off the engine, visibly relaxing in the seat.
Sin: You gonna check your phone now or wait to get yelled at later?
Rocket nods.
Rocket: Spose i should, huh?
Sin: Yeah, or Rick and Sky are gonna have kittens.
Jeszika: Can't have too many worried people.
Sin: I'd say Brit too but she's probably still working.
Rocket: I thought she was gonna stop doing that...?
Jeszika: Working?
Sin: She doesn't just dance at the Pleasure Dome like Sky and me.
Jeszika: Ahh I see.
Sin's eyes suddenly go wide.
Sin: They're not gonna be mad that you've brought a stripper home are they? Oh God... oh God, oh God, oh GOD!!!
Jeszika: You’re in the company of someone who's done far worse... trust me
Sin nods slowly.
Rocket: Cindy... don't worry about it...
Jeszika: You all worry too much.
Sin frowns and Rocket hugs her.
Rocket: Calm yourself, Beautiful. I’m gonna call Dub, everything’ll be fine…
Sin: But what if…
He hugs her to lovingly cut her off.
Rocket: They’ll be fine, Cind.
Jeszika: Let’s go inside, dont wanna leave people waiting too long.
Jeszika gets her keys out of her suitcase once she retrieved it from the trunk and heads to her front door. Inserting the key before opening it.
Jeszika: Hello, anyone home?
As they walk inside, Rocket dials a number on his phone.
Rocket: Dub? We made it to her house in New Orleans.
Just as they come inside, Carrie Winter comes running up to Jeszika with tears in her eyes.
Carrie: Oh thank God, Jezzy!
Right behind her, Kristian Devereaux walks into the edge of the hallway looking worried but about whom, isn’t clear. Carrie sees the two young traveling companions and stops in her tracks.
Carrie: Who are they?
Sin’s eyes go wide.
Sin: Oh no, I knew they were gonna be pissed…
Rocket slides his phone away and touches Sin’s shoulders from behind.
Rocket: Calm down, Cind…
Sin: How would you be if I brought a stripper home with me?
Carrie looks from Jeszika to Sin and back to Jeszika.
Carrie: Stripper?
jeszika: its not what it sounds like Care, just calm down and I will explain
Carrie’s eyes narrow as she stares into Jeszika’s eyes.
Carrie: Are you…
She steps back in shock.
Carrie: You’ve been gone for a couple of days, you brought home a stripper and you’re high and you want me to calm down? What the fuck did you do, Jezzy?
At the mention of the word “high,” Kristian steps into the area nearest Carrie.
Kristian: Are you?
Jeszika nods sadly and looks away.
Jeszika: Yes... I am... but it’s not what you think... Did you watch the show the other night? Did you see what happened to me?
Carrie starts to scream but Kristian catches her.
Kristian: Care… Care!
Carrie turns to face him.
Kristian: If she’s high… something is wrong…
He nods solemnly and Carrie bites her bottom lip.
Carrie: Ok…
Kristian nods and they turn back to Jeszika.
Kristian: Who are you guys?
Rocket exhales heavily.
Rocket: My name’s Merlyn, everybody calls me Rocket. This is Cindy, we work at the Pleasure Dome in Las Vegas.
Kristian frowns.
Kristian: Las Vegas? Wasn’t the show in Kansas?
Rocket nods.
Rocket: Her stalker showed up and attacked her in the dressing room. Because of what he was wearing, Miss Jeszika jumped to a conclusion about who the stalker had to be and drove to the Pleasure Dome to confront my brother, Warrick Craven.
Kristian nods.
Rocket: Dub, that’s what I call him, Dub always has a big load of drugs on him and Miss Jeszika saw them. Cindy’s a big fan of hers and so I got volunteered to drive her home so she wouldn’t try to drive impaired…
Carrie: Oh my God…
Kristian holds her tightly so she won’t run as the tears start anew.
Kristian: Are y’all ok?
Rocket nods.
Rocket: Yes sir.
Kristian: Did you have sex with our girlfriend?
Rocket shakes his head.
Rocket: No sir.
Jeszika looks shocked.
Jeszika: I would never!
Kristian nods.
Kristian: Care, I think they’re telling the truth.
Carrie: Why?
Kristian: Because the little one looks like she’s scared shitless, because young, Rocket, was it? Just went into “been pulled over by the police” mode and I have a feeling Jeezy spent the trip too wasted to think about sex at all.
Jeszika: To be honest, I spent most of the trip sleeping... trying not to think about him... He grabbed me while I was naked, Kris... I was in the shower... he kissed me after he made me pass out and...
She shivers in disgust visably. Carrie stands there shaking while Kristian extends a hand to Jeszika.
Kristian: I don’t think sex ever entered any of their minds. Jezzy was too busy trying not to feel, the little one, Cindy, I believe he said her name was, appears to be a young fan of our Jezzy, not to mention the poor girl’s scared shitless of us, and Rocket probably did all the driving and was concentrating on not messing up Bumblebee the whole way here because it wasn’t his car and he’s probably never driven a Camaro before.
Rocket shakes his head.
Rocket: No sir, first time.
Carrie nods and reaches out to Jeszika, stumbling into her arms.
Carrie: I was so scared. I thought you’d left us or he’d gotten you or you’d crashed Bumblebee and we’d just never know!
Jeszika: Sorry I never called... I was just so set on finding Craven and bashing his brains in cos I thought it was him. Now, I don't know who it was and that scares me....
Carrie barely moves, clutching onto Jeszika as tightly as possible.
Kristian: She was about ready to go get…
Jeszika: Go get?
Kristian: The same thing you did.
Jeszika looks down.
Jeszika: I'm sorry…
Sin’s hand falls to her pocket, her eyes going wide with new fear. Kristian sees this and smiles.
Kristian: Calm down, it’s alright…
He whistles loudly and his black lab comes bounding in from the other room. Sin gasps, looking very much the little girl as she does so.
Sin: Oh my God, they have a DOG!!!!
Jeszika: And a cat.
Sin’s eyes go wide and Kristian smiles at the sight of her bending down to pet the dog.
Kristian: How old are you?
Sin: Eighteen…
Jeszika: Just a youngin…
Still happily playing with the dog, Sin nods and Kristian takes both Carrie and Jeszika into his arms.
Kristian: We were all worried…
Jeszika: I know and I'm sorry... for everything…
Kristian smiles and kisses the top of her head.
Kristian: How long are your young chauffeurs staying?
Jeszika: This is true.
He steps back, almost laughing.
Kristian: You actually let somebody else drive Bumblebee?
Jeszika: Yeah I must be high...
Carrie stands up and releases her grip.
Carrie: That’s not funny...
Jeszika: I know.... I'm sorry.
Carrie hugs her again and then looks at Sin.
Carrie: She’s got a vial in her pocket, doesn’t she?
Jeszika: What would happen if I said yes…
Carrie: I'm just askin' cause she keeps rubbing and grabbing at her pocket all nervous like.
Jeszika: She does... yes…
Carrie nods, obviously having a silent argument with herself.
Sin: I can get rid of it… really, I can!
Jeszika: It’s ok... I wouldn’t make you do that...
Sin: But… aren’t you guys… gonna… want?
Carrie nods, looking nervous and ashamed.
Carrie: Yes…
Jeszika: Yes...
She looks over at Kris.
Jeszika: I want to so bad again... but no…
Sin nods slowly.
Sin: What do you want me to do?
Jeszika: I... I don't know...
Sin rubs her pocket again and then looks to the floor.
Sin: Oh… um… where’s the bathroom?
Jeszika: Upstairs, second door on the right.
Sin hurries off. A few seconds later, a flush is heard throughout the house. Sin returns a few seconds later, holding up the empty vial for all to see.
Sin: You’re not… mad at me now, are you?
Jeszika frowns.
Jeszika: Why would I be mad at you? You guys just drove halfway across the country, for that, I thank you!
She shakes her head and looks up at them suddenly.
Jeszika: What am I going to do?
Sin’s voice becomes very small, worry flooding it.
Sin: I just don’t want you to be angry that I flushed it...
Carrie looks at her in amazement.
Carrie: Is she always like this?
Sin: Like what?
Carrie shakes her head.
Carrie: I accused you… and you’re still worried that we’ll be angry because you had the courage to flush away drugs in the face of multiple addicts…
She walks over and hugs the younger woman.
Carrie: I’m sorry I reacted the way I did, you’re an amazing young lady.
Jeszika: Yeah... she is…
Carrie nods to Sin, releasing her and then wheeling around to face Jeszika.
Carrie: I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions, Jezzy.
Jeszika: It’s ok, Care, knowing my track record I would have jumped to that conclusion too...
She shakes her head.
Jeszika: What am I going to do?
Kristian smiles.
Kristian: Well, right now, we oughtta see to y’all’s needs. When was the last time y’all ate? And, you two should just stay here for a few days and recover from that drive. As for the stalker situation, well, there’s gonna be five of us here for a few days so…
Carrie nods.
Carrie: Nik and Bethy are gonna wanna hear you’re home too.
Jeszika: Ok, food sounds good... actually haven't eaten since before the show…
Carrie hugs her.
Carrie: Oh, Honey…
Kristian smiles.
Kristian: Well, that settles it…
Jeszika: I'm probably not the best one to cook right now…
Kristian smiles.
Kristian: You and the youngins sit y'all's selves down, Carrie and I'll take care of the rest.
Jeszika: Ok.
Sin: Oh my God!
Rocket glances over, trying to check on everyone and keep an eye on the road at the same time..
Rocket: Shit... uh... Ma'am, are you...?
Jeszika: I.... uh.... it was just a dream... just a bad dream...
