I neeed yo too picky me up, can't feive", Alice, said half drunk as, Rose, answered her call.

"Okay, you can't drive cause you're too drunk? Send me your location", replied, Rose, half asleep.

Suddenly, Alice, halted her steps. She squinted her eyes trying to make sure, it was not an illusion as she walked nearer and nearer the bridge where, Alice, saw a gorgeous disheveled man, messy grey hair,trying to jump off the bridge. Alice, stood there frozen not knowing what to do, she just looked at the man with her eyes and mouth wide opened, stunned. "Hello, hello,Alice, you there?", called, Rose, on the phone. After a few seconds of silence, "DON'T JUMP, DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW PRECIOUS YOUR LIFE IS?", Alice, screamed out suddenly as she ran towards the guy and pulled him from the back trying to stopped him from jumping.

"Are you mad!!", yelled, Alice, as the shocking view, sobered her up. "Who the hell are you? If you're one of my fans, I can't give you my autograph and.. ". "SLAP!", Alice, suddenly slapped the man right on his cheek with her bare hand. "Who do you think you are?? Some superstar?? I am here trying to save your lives, you need to thank me!", exclaimed, Alice, as she stared at the man fiercely. "I don't think I am a superstar but I am", replied, the man, stunned. "Alice hall, saved you, so you think you are a superstar now, huh! That's not the point. The point is, I saved your life", announced, Alice, proudly. "Thank you?", the man answered unsure of what to say.

Honk, Honk!, Alice, turned around and saw, Rose, honking the car horn trying to grabbed their attention."Rose!thank, goodness. You're here, right on time", exclaimed , Alice, as he grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him along. "Hey, I can walk, I have feet, you know!", the man exclaimed. "Shut up!", ordered, Alice, as she continued dragging him, towards, the car.

"Alice, who is he?", asked startled and confused, Rose, as she stared at the man awkwardly. "I don't know", replied, Alice, as she shoved him on the back of the passenger seat. "Hey, that hurts, I didn't know, people like you actually exist", announced, the man from the back. "People like you??!", asked, Alice, as she looked back. "Yes, people like you, who doesn't even know who I am, I am an international celebrity, my name is, Larry Dickinson", the man introduced himself. "Big deal.. Do you know who I am?", asked, Alice, challenging him. "Yes, the spoilt child of, James Hall, multi billionaire", answered, Larry, grinning proudly. "Whatever", said, Alice, turning away from him in a huff. Rose, tittered as she steered the steering wheel quietly.

"Hey, where are you guys taking me?? Is this what kidnapping feels like?", asked, Larry, dramatically. "I am going to help you",replied, Alice, calmly as she turned back. "Help ME?", exclaimed, Larry, in surprised. "I don't remember asking for help", he muttered under his breath while avoiding, Alice, glare, not daring to say it out loud.
