Rock of Ages, Forever Pt8
They all stood around staring at each other, still a little bit in shock that Sav had returned, unharmed, armed with the flimsy excuse that they were stranded some where. Then Joe goes off about Lacey, abruptly ending anything close to a happy reunion.
“Ok, correct me if I’m wrong.” Phil glanced around at everyone. “Was Sav just here or was I seeing things?”
“Uh no….you weren’t, he was here until Joe opened his big mouth.” Rick threw his arm towards Joe.
“He was here…now he’s gone again.” Phil started and ran his hand down his face. “That was brilliant Joe, he’s here ten minutes, you open your mouth and swoosh he’s gone!”
“Why are you yelling at me?” Joe shouted back.
“I’m not yelling, you are.”
Rick stepped over to the bar and grabbed a water. "What is it that you don't like about Lacey anyway? You have acted like this since she showed up."
I don't know," Joe replied with a scowl on his face. He sat heavily in a chair beside the windows. "Something about her has always rubbed me wrong, like she is hiding something."
“Your going to have to meet in the middle with Lacey.” Vivian suggested.
“I don't think that is going to happen, but I will try, and no promises on that.” Joe said as he picked at his fingernails.
Phil pointed to the door. “Good, now go find him.”
Joe rolled his eyes and quickly rose from the chair, he stalked from the room grumbling the whole way.
“You know, if I didn’t know any better, I think Joe has a thing for Lacey.”
“You must be joking, Rick.” Vivian snorted.
“What’s that old saying? Opposite attract?”
“But they’re not opposites, they’re the same.” Phil said.
“All the more attraction between them.”
“She has her digs in Sav.” Vivian reminded him.
“Not for long, if Joe has anything to do with it.” Rick shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t think so.” Vivian looked between them.
“You both have a point there.” Phil mused.

Joe looked everywhere on their floor. He found his bag in Phil’s room. Joe didn’t think that he would chance going downstairs, not with all the reporters still there. And they know he was here, so where the hell could he have gone so fast. He stood in the hallway; he threw up his hands in defect. Then noticed the door to the stairway slightly ajar. Going over to it, he pushed it open and went in. Looking down them he shook his head, reporters would see him if he went out that way. So the only place to go was up. At least they were close to the top of the hotel and a couple of flights later he came to the door to the roof. He pushed it open, stepping out, he looked around. Joe saw them standing over by the edge.
Sav was holding her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder.
“Hey, what are you doing up here?” Joe asked as he came closer.
Sav growled low in his throat as he pulled his fangs from Lacey neck.
“Looking out over the city.” Lacey replied. “It’s beautiful up here, you can see clear out to where the lights stop.”
Joe detected a hit of desire in her voice when she spoke. He looked out to where she had indicated. “Yeah maybe, I don’t usually come up on the roof of our hotel and just stare out at the lights.”
“You should try it some times, Mr. Elliott. It can be peaceful up here. It can also help with anger that is building up or that is already there. It would help you a lot in that area.”
Joe shrugged off her suggestion and directed his statement toward Sav. “We were really worried about you." He waited for a response from him, but nothing came. “Oh, now your not talking to me.”
Sav finally turned to him. “What do you want me to say?”
“Something, anything.” An exasperated Joe said and threw his arms up.
“I’m not here but a few minutes and you start in on Lacey. You did it before I left and you’re doing it again.”
“Ok, I apologize for that.” Joe dropped his eyes to the ground. "I will try harder to get along with her."
“Would it help if you slept with her? I’m sure she wouldn’t mind.”
Joe heard Lacey’s soft chuckle.
“Uh, no that’s ok.”
“Are you sure Mr. Elliott, I could compare notes. I could give you one hell of a ride.” Lacey teased.
Joe couldn’t believe what he was hearing, she’s willing to sleep with him and freely admitted it right in front of Sav. “Well now that you mention it.” Joe started and watched the play of a smile crease Sav’s lips. “No, I’m sure.”
“And I was looking forward to it.” Lacey said as she smiled at him.
Joe clenched his jaw tight before it fell open at her words. “Well….I’m going to go now before I change my mind.” He felt a little uncomfortable about where the conversation was going, like an intruder watching two lovers intertwine themselves around each other. “We’ll talk later Sav.” He turned to leave and stopped. “The police will be here soon, they want a statement from you for their report.”
“Ok, we’ll be down soon.” Sav told him.
Joe headed back toward the door and stopped again. “Oh and Sav….you never said if you got that blow job.”
Sav’s laughter echoed across the roof, followed by Lacey’s.
“I guess so.” Joe mumbled to himself. Watching them a few more minutes. He still couldn’t believe that he was here and fully expected to wake up from this dream any time. But it was no dream he was actually here. Joe stalked back over to them. Sav turned to him with a questioning look; Joe hesitated briefly and pulled him in for another embrace, slapping him on the back. “It's good to have you back.”
“You know I couldn’t stay away, even if I was dead.” Sav told him.
Joe chuckled and stepped away.
“Where’s mine?” Lacey asked.
“Don’t push your luck.” Joe sneered.
Lacey glanced at him in disappointment.
“I’ll see you shortly.” Sav told him smacking Joe on the arm.
Joe left them and went back downstairs to his room, where everyone still sat around waiting on the police. The expression on their faces mirrored Joe’s, shock, disbelieve and the relief that was slowly setting in at finally knowing Sav was ok. The past weeks were rough on everyone and the not knowing what happened syndrome was the worst part of it all. And now, the monumental task of getting their lives back together loomed ahead of them, and no doubt that the reporters were going to hound them for a good while before this was all put in the past.

Nick stepped off the elevator, followed closely by Lynda, his long strides slowed as a sensation washed over him. The presents of two other vampires on this floor and they were close by. One was familiar to him, but the other one, he had never felt before. It grew stronger as he neared the door to Mr. Elliott's room. The laughter that floated out was lighter than on previous visits, to get information from them to help in the investigation of finding their bass player. The sensation emanated from the room, Nick now knew what happened to the bass player of this band.
“You wouldn’t see anything like that in Dublin, actually come to think about…….” his words ended abruptly, his head snapped toward the door.
Nick meet his intense blue eyes, and knew immediately that what he felt was true. The entire line of questions he needed to ask flew out the window. Nick already knew the answers and where he had been these past weeks. Clearing his throat, he stepped in the room.
“Evening gentleman.” Nick said addressing everyone.
“Just the man I wanted to see.” Joe said smugly.
“We’re not here to see you Mr. Elliott, we need to question Mr. Savage.” Nick informed him as he pulled the notebook from his pocket.
“I get to punch you now right, for accusing me of killing him?” Joe said smugly.
“If you do Mr. Elliott, I’ll have you locked up so fast your head will spin.”
Moving closer to him, Joe didn't hide the distain he felt for the cock sure detective. “It would be worth one night in jail to do that.”
Sav quickly got up and approached Nick and held out his hand. “Rick Savage.”
“Detective Nick Knight, Lynda Samos, Metro Homicide.”
Sav shook Lynda's hand and gave her a smile.
“We’ll make this as short as possible Mr. Savage, we just need something for our report as to where you have been for the last several weeks.” Lynda said.
“It’s simple really, Lacey and I went for a drive, the car broke down and we couldn’t find a way back.”
“How far outside of town were you?”
“I’m not sure,” Sav said and turned to Lacey. “Couple hundred miles maybe.”
Lynda looked to Lacey, then back to him. “Why didn’t you flag down a car when one passed?”
“Not many cars at three in the morning.” He told her.
“That doesn’t explain why you were gone so long?”
“We….uh broke into someone’s cottage and stayed there.”
Phil’s jaw dropped opened. “You did what?”
Sav turned his attention to him. “We couldn’t stay outside, it was raining.”
“Was there a phone at this place?” Lynda rubbed her brow, trying to make sense from the story he was giving.
“Yeah but it didn’t work, the owner’s must have had it turned off.”
“How far was this cottage from the car?”
“Couple miles.” Sav answered.
“Why stop there? Why not just keep going and find a different place?”
“I told you already. The car broke down and it was raining.”
“Or planned.” Joe said softly.
Nick, who had let Lynda do the questioning, so he could silently observe Sav, looked to Joe. “Why do you say that Mr. Elliott?” Nick asked.
“It all sounds to convenient, car breaks down, and there is a cottage a couple miles away with no working phone. Sounds like Lacey planned it that way.”
“Miss Garrett, did you plan his disappearance?” Nick hit her with a hard glare that only she would have understood.
Lacey glared at Joe.
“You did plan it, just like all those cards you sent.” Joe said angrily. “How long have you had this idea Lacey?”
“Longer than you think.”
“So you just come in here, knock him off his feet and go off to some lovers hideaway, not caring who is hurt in the process.”
“I figured after a week or so, you would find some one to replace him like you did before.” Lacey shot back.
“So you could have him all to yourself.” Joe all but yelled back.
“I didn’t force him, he went willingly.”
"He didn't stay there willingly." Joe snapped back. "He would never have stayed away this long, if he wasn't forced too."
Sav knew he had to stop this, at least it might help Joe put his anger aside. "She didn't force me or hold me against my will, Joe. I stayed with her on my own, because there was something I chose..."
Nick gripped his arm to stop his words from coming out, about why he had stayed with her. Sav turned to look at him and easily caught the slight shake of his head.
Joe darted his eyes back and forth between them. He also noticed the motion Nick gave to him. "Chose what? You chose to stay with her, instead of coming back to this band and the commitments that come with it?"
Phil stepped forward and placed his hand on Joe's arm. "You said you would try to get along with her. Questioning Sav about who he chooses to spend time with, isn't trying very hard."
"I will," Joe started and looked at him, then back to Sav. "Once the truth is out about her."
"The truth is, Joe, you don't like her, I get that already." Sav moved closer to him. "You will just have to get over that, get used to it..."
“You know some thing else, we all sat around thinking he was dead thanks to you.” Joe directed his statement toward Lacey who was sitting on the couch.
“That’s enough Joe.” Sav told him.
“Why," Joe spun back around to face him. "Because you don’t want to hear the truth? Lacey knew exactly what she was doing.”
“And so did I.” Sav told him evenly.
‘This was getting good.’ Phil thought to himself. No one else wanted to say anything, even Nick and Lynda where watching Joe blow some steam, as the anger side set once he knew his best friend was safe.
“How long is it going to take for you to realize what she is Sav?”
“I already know what she is.”
“You wouldn’t know that if it slapped you in the face.” Joe retorted angrly.
Nick and Lynda could only watch them as they argued, practically ignoring everyone else in the room. Lacey was ready to bolt from the couch and drag Sav from the room. Phil didn’t know what to do anymore. Vivian and Rick were in the motion of standing up, as Sav and Joe’s temper’s flared.
Sav made his move toward Joe, slamming him to the wall before anyone could stop him. The air whooshed from Joe’s lungs, leaving him gasping for breath. He was a little dazed at hitting the wall so hard, he could feel Sav’s forearm pressed hard against his chest as he held him to the wall. Looking at him now, he saw the anger in his eyes.
“I said that was enough, Joe.” Sav growled.
Joe didn’t know if he was seeing things or not, when the deep flash of red appeared in Sav's eyes. Joe put his hands on his shoulders and tried to push him away, but he wouldn’t budge.
“You know it’s not going to work out with her.” Joe said, still trying to catch his breath.
“I’ll be the judge of that and not you.”
“Then you need to judge it soon.” Joe told him.
Sav leaned within inches of his face. “Don’t let a woman come between our friendship.” He suddenly let him go. Joe fell forward almost going straight to the floor.
“Come on Lacey.” Sav said as he quickly headed for the door, brushing past Nick on his way. Lacey jumped up from the couch and followed him.
“Mr. Savage we need to finish your sta….” Lynda called after him.
“I am finished.” He told her and was out the door before she could say anymore.
“What was that all about?” Lynda asked the others.
“Joe’s mouth.” Phil and Rick said at the same time.
Nick looked over at Joe who was running his hand through his hair, glancing around like he had lost some thing. “I take it you don’t like Miss Garrett?”
“Why, does it show” Joe shot back at him.
“Loud and clear.”
“Sav hasn’t done anything like that in a long time.” Phil commented.
“How many times has it happened?” Tracey asked
“Once. Other times it was just petty arguments.” Joe informed them.
“I think I’ll find out where he went.” Phil said leaving the room. At the end of the short hall, he stopped and looked toward the elevator to see Lacey standing there. He looked the other way and noticed Sav coming out of his room, carrying his bag. “Hey Sav, where are going now?” He asked following him to the elevator.
“I’m getting a room at another hotel.”
“You don’t have to do that.”
“Yes I do.”
“Aren’t you the one that said, don’t let a woman come between friendships.”
“Don’t get into it Phil.”
“Isn’t that what your doing?” Phil turned away from him and went back to Joe's room.
Sav watched him go as the doors opened and Lacey stepped in, she held her breath when Sav didn’t make a move to get on the elevator. “Are you coming?” She asked softly.
Sav looked at her a moment, then back down the hall where Phil was seconds ago. He was expecting one of them to come around the corner to keep him from leaving.
“Rick.”
Taking a deep breath, he bent his head down. “I’m coming.” Sav got on the elevator and the doors closed behind him.
Joe came rushing around the corner to find an empty hallway. Looking up at the numbers on the elevator, he noticed that it had already reached the lobby. By the time he rode the other one down, Sav would be no where to be found, unless he got stopped by the reporters, but as mad as he was, he would just barrel right through them.
“Goddamnit!” Joe yelled. He stood in the hall for a while longer. Trying to get his thoughts together, and his anger under control before headed back in with the others. He already knew they would give him the third degree about Lacey.
