Special Guests: Christopher Gambino, The Doctor, Joe Corsiniti and Laura Gambino. Roleplay Title: E.R.
---------------------------------------------- Wednesday July 2nd 2008 11:15 PM Oswego Hospital Emergency Room, Oswego New York The tires of my 2008 Chevy Malibu screeched, as I pulled up in front of the doors to the Emergency Room. I could have called an ambulance, but the Hospital was close enough to my house that me driving him there was a better idea. The passenger's side car door opened quickly, Laura climbed from the car and Ran through the automatic doors to the E.R. A few seconds later, Laura came back out with a doctor running along side her. The doctor was tall and Skinny, he had brown hair and Blue eyes. He didn't appear to be very old, which though it was a stupid way to think...really freaked me out. How could this Doogie Howser save my son's life? He probably just graduated from med school earlier in the week. That and Many more thoughts of doom were funning through my head.
The doctor pulled Christopher out of the car and Put him into the wheel chair that Laura had pushed out. I stuck my head out the car window, in a panic I shouted to the doctor. "IS MY SON GOING TO BE ALRIGHT!?" "We won't know until we get him inside." The doctor said, rather calmly considering my son was slowly dieing in a cheap wheel chair at a third rate hospital. "I'LL PULL THE CAR IN THE LOT!" I shouted to Laura, who had already gotten half way into the building. I pulled the car around the corner, parking it between two mini vans. Just as I pulled in, my Towncar pulled up along side me. Eli had to come seperately from the rest of us, because he had to lock things up at home and Turn the alarm on. I climbed out of my car and Slammed the door behind myself. At the same time, Eli climbed out of the Towncar and Walked over to meet me behind the Malibu. "Any news, sir?" He asked. Still concerned, even though not that long before, Christopher had been ready to kill Eli in cold blood. "No." I replied, hanging my head. "They just grabbed him and Brought him inside. They didn't know anything yet." "I'm sorry sir." Eli said, patting me on the shoulder with his left hand. "I'm so sorry." "It wasn't your fault, Eli." "If you didn't save me, Christopher might have been in better condition right now." He said, looking very saddened. "No, Eli." I said, panning my eyes upward. "I did what I did for a reason. Because you are like a brother to me. Christopher was the one about to kill you. I don't regret my decision and I would do it exactly the same way if I had it to do over again." "Thank you sir...." "Yeah, well...." I smiled. "Enough of this mushy crap! Let's go inside and See what the situation is." Eli nodded his head and We both headed for the doorway to the waiting room of the Emergency Room. The doors swooshed as they automatically opened. We stepped into the hallway, but before we walked through the other set of door which led into the waiting room, I turned toward my left. In the corner, there was a Pepsi machine and Next to the machine, in a small wooden chair sat an older man clad in a "Securitas Security Services" uniform. I grinned as I saw the man. I used to work for Securitas, when Laura and I were fresh out of High School. As I looked at the guard, I realized it was Joe Corsiniti the guard who had trained me all those years ago.
"Joe?" I said, as he looked up at me. "What?" He said, his voice was low and Scratchy. "Who are you?" "It's me!" I said, pointing both my thumbs toward my chest. "John Gambino." "John Gambino?" "Yeah...you know....John-John Gambino." I said, I cringed looking at the grin on Eli's face out of the corner of my eye. "OH!" Joe shouted. "JOHN-JOHN! HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN!?" "I don't know, about ten years." "Ten years..." He seemed surprised, he scratched the top of his head with his index finger. "Seems like it's been longer, seems like a decade..." "Ten years is a decade." Eli spoke up. "Oh...yes, that's right." Joe smiled at Eli. "So, what brings you here John-John?" "My son has been shot and He is in the E.R." I said, moving toward the doorway. "I really gotta get in there, he's in pretty bad condition." "Well, you won't be getting in anytime soon." Joe said, as he struggled to stand up. "They keep people waiting for as long as they can. The doctors and Nurses have fun in the back, eating pizza, drinking coffee and Flirting with each other. They don't care about the people they are supposed to help. It's all about their pay raises and Their vacation days." "Well then..." I said, my face already started to turn a shade of red. "It looks like I am going to have to make somebody's a$$ into their own new hat. I won't be treated like this, I'm John Gambino!" "Who?" Joe Asked. I rolled my eyes. "John-John." "OH, JOHN-JOHN!" "Ha-ha...John-John." Eli said in a whisper, thinking that I wouldn't hear him. "SHUT UP ELI!" I shouted, slapping Eli in the side of his face. "But, if you guys REALLY need to get into the hospital....then take my keys." Joe said, placing a key ring filled with keys into the palm of my hand. "There are a couple extra uniforms in the closet. Nobody should give you guys any problems." ---------------------------------------------- Wednesday July 2nd 2008 11:59 PM Oswego Hospital Emergency Room, Oswego New York Laura sat on a small chair, at Christopher's bed side. Her eyes were red, from the tears that she had already shed. She held Christopher's left hand in her hands, with her eyes closed in prayer. Christopher laid in the hospital bed, all sorts of wire attached to his body. Laura looked up, as the door to Christopher's room opened. It was Eli and Myself, both dressed in gray Securitas button shirts and Brown dress pants. I walked over to Laura, bent down on on knee and Took her into my arms. A tear slid down my face as I stared toward the hospital bed. Eli walked slowly up to the bed, stopping right beside it he looked down At Chris. "It's going to be alright, sweety." I said to Laura, as she began to cry in my arms. "It's going to be alright." "They said..." Laura began, trying to speak between her own cries. "Christopher is going to....." "Oh no...he's going to die?" "No, they said he will live." She answered, tears still pouring down her face. "They removed the bullet and They said it didn't hit anything that could kill him. But he is in a coma and They don't know if he will ever come out of it." I dropped down to my other knee, my eyes widened with shock. I may have ended my own son's life. I may have put him into a comatose state for the rest of his life. I climbed to my feet, walking over toward Chris's bed. I looked down at his body, he looked terrible with all those tubes and Wires hanging from him. "AHHHHHHHH!" I shouted, as I slammed my fist down onto the night stand near by. "CHRIS WAS RIGHT, I AM AN EVIL BASTARD!" Laura quickly climbed to her feet and Walked over to me. She wrapped her arms around the side of me and Looked up into my eyes. "NO!" She said in a stern voice. "Chris was sick, he wasn't himself. You did what you had to do to save Eli's life. If Chris had been in his right mind, he would have been proud of you for that." "I just.....I don't know what to think anymore." Eli placed his hand onto my back. "Sir, what you did tonight was the first thing I have EVER seen you do for somebody else. If it weren't for you, I would be the one laying in this bed and You would be making arrangements for my funeral. You are a hero, sir." "Wow." I said, turning around. I walked slowly toward the hospital room door. "Now I finally understand why Clark Kent wanted to give up his powers so badly and Just be with Lana...because being a hero sucks." I opened the door and Walked out, closing it behind me. I felt sadness, but at the same time I was filled with rage and Violent tendencies. Tendencies that I couldn't wait to unleash in the ring again Connolly on Anarchy. ---------------------------------------------- I feel a lot of mixed emotions going into Anarchy. Because, even though I know without a doubt that I will give all that I have to give, at the same time I wish I could be going up against one of the evil bastards in the Black Order. Because as much as I would like to believe that Christian Connolly is all bad, his actions as of late have opened my eyes. I don't believe that the Vigilantes are the true enemies of Genesis Omega. I think the Vigilantes are out for the same things as we are. To rid the XWF of the Black Order, to make the XWF a better place once again. To me, that is a very noble desire. It's that reason and That reason alone, that I wish it wasn't Christian that I am scheduled to take on in the ladder match for the XWF world championship. But, unfortunately for the both of us it is Christian that I am scheduled to take on. The Black Order has nothing to do with the match. It's just Connolly and Myself, one on one. Meaning, I have to do what I have to do. If I were to walk into this match, with any other mentality than my usual mentality...how long would I have to wait before I was granted another shot at the world championship? Your guess is as good as mine, it could be days, could be months and It even has the possibility to be years. One can never tell in the XWF. That being said, I cannot just take it easy on you Christian. I must walk into Anarchy and Do whatever needs to be done to bring the World Championship home to Genesis Omega. Besides, I highly doubt you would want me to give you anything less than my best. You are too proud a man for that. You wouldn't want to beat me if you were going to beat a watered down version of me. You have the desire to beat people at their best and That Christian, is what you are going to get. MY BEST. You have talked about not having anybody or anything if you are not victorious on Anarchy. But Christian, that just isn't the truth. If you don't walk out of Anarchy as the champion, you will still have your brothers in the Vigilantes. They are your friends, your brothers, your traveling companions and The people who watch your back every single day. Not everybody has that kind of thing. Some people would love to have people watching his back, no matter what. You are lucky when it comes to that, Christian. For me, these events have been set in motion for months. I have been put to the test, week in and Week out. The XWF staff wanted to see if I still have what it takes to be a champion. Time and Time again I stepped up to the plate and proved without a doubt, that I do indeed have the heart of a true champion. When I said it was my time Christian, I wasn't just spitting out non-sense. It is indeed my time, my time to shine, my time to make it back to the top and My time to be called the World Champ once again. It is my time, to become the seven time XWF world champion to be exact. Nobody can stop it, nobody can change it because it is fate. Fate is something that is already set in stone. My fate is to become champion and My time IS now. There is nothing you or anybody else can do to change that, Christian. All you can do is enjoy being a part of a match that will surely go down in history. It will go down in history as being the night John Gambino was re-born. The night I shed my old skin and Crawled out from under it to see the world in my current state. Oh yes Christian, it will be a night that nobody will EVER forget.
