June 8th, 6:32am
The door to Yun's apartment slams open, as both her and Joe Shamrock stumble through the door almost at the same time, Shamrock holding Yun up with an arm around her. The two are dressed... very bizarre, and both looking very beat up. Shamrock is in what appears to be a tuxedo with a red flowing cape and a cheap masquerade mask with a white horn covering his face, Yun is wearing a Sailor Mar's sailor fuku with a cheap toy Iron Man mask bearing a long crack working through the mask.
There is a good deal of blood on the white bits of Yun's costume, the red bits hiding what could be a lot more. The tuxedo Joe is wearing looks very disheveled and is torn at a few spots. The two really look like they just got jumped into a gang.
"Easy! Easy!" Yun yells out in pain as Shamrock sits her down on their couch, Yun's right shoulder is situated in a position the human shoulder just shouldn't be in. "Okay, so we get out of the costumes and go to the hospital right?" Yun asks, pain very obvious in her voice.
"Can't go to the hospital, not after that. Will be looking for people with wounds like ours..." He says, grabbing a bottle of vicodin off the kitchen counter and tossing it to Yun, who goes to grab it with her left hand but misses, and it thuds off her face.
"I HAVE ONE ARM RIGHT NOW, ASSHOLE." she screams out, as she stumbles for the bottle, popping it open and popping 3 into her mouth with out water... "My shoulder is dislocated, I really think I need to get to a hospital." she says again to him, looking at the angle at which her shoulder is popping up.
"And I'm pretty sure I have a few broken ribs, but no hospitals... I have a friend who will make a house call..." he says walking over to Yun, looking at her arm, he goes in to touch it but she slaps his hand away with her free hand.
"I'm not even going to ask how you know a guy who deal with this kind of thing... You know what I think not asking questions got me into this, so you know what, HOW the fuck do you know a shady doctor?" she asks, wincing in pain as she moves a little too much.
"I told you, this isn't the first time I've done this." Shamrock responds to her and quickly walks out of the room, going to find his cell phone. Yun, with her only good hand grabs the TV remote and turns on the TV. It turns on to the news, they are discussing a convenience store robbery from a few hours prior...
"Hey, we're on the news... Ehhh... Not a very flattering angle...." she says as she looks at the TV. On the TV you can see her in her Sailor Mars outfit and Iron Man Mask, and Shamrock in his Tuxedo costume, fighting a masked man with a gun. Yun winces in pain as she is thrown on the TV through the chip rack.
"Oh god..." she says to her self.
"The two masked vigilantes were unable to apprehend the suspect, and all three are wanted in questioning for the events... If you have any info on any of the individuals involved, the police urge you to call..." the reporter says as screen grabs of the surveillance camera footage is shown on the TV...
"Hey, why didn't we steal the camera footage?" Yun asks Shamrock, who has just come back into the room, watching the broadcast.
"We were being shot at..." he says, "The guy is on his way."
"You know I have a match in like... four days right? I have one good arm right now, look at this shit..." she says, gesturing to her dislocated shoulder.
"You'll be fine, it just needs to be popped back in... I mean it is going to hurt like a bitch, but once its popped back in you will be right as rain. I promise." he says to her, sitting down carefully on the seat nearest to the couch. He lets out a loud gasp of pain as he does.
"Some how I'm not inclined to trust anything you say after the night I've just had..." she says to him... "I mean look at this shit, I'm wanted because of you." she says, pointing to the TV, which is still showing video of the incident. Right now on the TV, you see Yun being picked up by the suspect and thrown into one of the drink coolers, causing the glass to shatter.
"Oh my god, are they not going to show any footage of me NOT getting my ass kicked?" she says aloud in a sigh.
"I don't really recall you doing anything but..." he says with a laugh.
"I didn't see you do much better, besides I REALLY didn't think he would hit a girl. Boy was I wrong... God, I've never been wanted before. I can't go back to jail, I barely survived the first time." she says to him, in a bit of a panic.
"You were in a Korean jail for two days... A jail I might add was wrote up as a "Nice Spa Alternative" in the Korean Times. Besides, you're not wanted Sailor Iron Woman is." he says with another laugh.
"I thought we agreed I was Sailor Ass Kicker." she jokes.
"Yeah... about that..."

Yun TV - Episode 4
~~~~~~~~~~
So Glory Road has come and gone.
With it came the Gold Rush.
...and that is where I find my self right now.
I had a night I very much would like to forget. I am not going to make any excuses, I just choked. I stepped into a situation I was unfamiliar with, something I have done countless times in this business and unlike past times. I choked. There is no other way to phrase it, I let a lot of people down that night. None bigger than my self. Because I still believed I could get the job done. I was wrong.
Where as the woman I am going to see across from the ring this week? She could say the exact opposite. Where as I want to forget that night, all that night has brought her is success. A night I am sure Cordy will never forget. She said she would win, she believed she would win, and she went in and won. She got the job done.
That is the difference between us this week.
I couldn't get the job done.
Cordy, on the other hand, did.
We broke into the business at about the same time, you know?
In fact one of my first ever matches was against her. Was a bit unfair, I came into PDW with out having ever wrestled a match in my life, with a bit of fan fare due to my name alone. She had worked her way there, and earned the spot. Something she proved even then, that she was someone who could get the job done. Because she did. She beat me.
I am not going to throw a pity party for my self. Since then we have both carved out names for our selves. But while she continues to do it for JUST her wrestling ability, my past always comes up when we discuss me. Something I've tried so hard to run from, just keeps coming around to be the one thing that defines me.
It is never, "That is Yun Goeun, she was the person to end Erin Daniels undefeated streak." or "That is Yun Goeun, she was NBT Champion in PDW." Every single accomplishment I've earned in this business, is always over shadowed by "Hey! That is Yun Goeun, she's a famous Kpop Idol!"
When you look at Cordy, you see one half of the greatest tag teams of this generation, you see hand down THE NEXT FGA Champion. You see a WRESTLER. No mater what I do, no mater how much I claw and scrape to escape my past all you see when you see me is an IDOL.
And that just makes me want to scream.
Because that is the difference between me and Cordy.
She may not have had the fanfare I had coming in, but she worked for every single thing she has gotten. Where as I only kid my self into thinking I am working for everything I am getting. She worked her way to PDW, I got my spot because my trainer is friends with Star.
Every title opportunity she got? She earned on her own in the ring.
Every title opportunity I ever got was because ownership wanted to boost ratings.
...maybe I am being to hard on my self. But right now when I look at my self in the mirror I see someone who can't get the job done, and maybe never could. My first match here in FGA, to Johnny Karma? I lost by a split second.
I couldn't find a way to get back into that ring, one SPLIT second sooner.
I think that... more than anything speaks volumes. If I was someone who would do anything it takes to win, I would have found a way to get back into that ring. Cordy, would have gotten back into that ring.
...eh maybe I am throwing my self a pity party but that is not where I am going with this. No longer when people look at me will they see "Yun Goeun; the Idol" no, they will see "Yun Goeun; The Wrestler" and I am going to make damn sure that is what they see.
It is for that reason I am more than up to the task of facing Cordy once again, 2 years later. A lot has shaped our careers over the last two years, but here we are again. No longer am I going to let my past define me, just my future and that starts this week.
When I look at you Cordy, I see someone who knows how to get the job done, but ore than that I see a friend. Someone I've enjoyed knowing. So it is fitting we are going to face, because this week I want the world to see the new Yun Goeun. The Wrestler, Yun Goeun.
...and I can think of no bigger statement than knocking off the Gold Rush Winner. I need this, Cordy and I am sorry it has to be you across from me. I has always believed in being knocked down, and getting back up stronger. But that has gotten me nowhere in this business, it is about time I start knocking people down. I always sit here and say I learn from my mistakes. Well it is time for me to stop making so fucking many...
Cordy, I fully do believe you are going to be the next FGA Champion.
But need to remind my self I became a wrestler to carve my own path in life.
I need to remind my self that I am someone who seeks to be the best at what I do.
To be the best means to hold that FGA Championship, and while your path to it may be a lot short than mine, but I am ready for what ever the road throws at me.
As far as I am concerned Yun Goeun the Idol is dead.
All that remains is going to be Yun Goeun the Wrestler.
That is where my mind is set, the future.
I have learned all I can from my past, it is time to let it go.
When I joined this business, I was asked by my trainer "Why I fight?" and I never had an answer for her other then generic responses I thought she wanted to hear, that I fight to be the best, that I fight to be strong. But I've realized I now know the answer to that.
I fight for my self.
And I won't stop fighting.
Yun Goeun. HWAITING!
~~~~~~~~~~
June 8th, 2:52am
Yun and Joe Shamrock can be found sitting in their blue Ford Echo dubbed "The Blueberry", they are parked near an intersection and both are staring down at a radio in the car, waiting for something, anything, to come out of it. Joe Shamrock is dressed in a finely pressed tuxedo and is wearing a bad party mask with a white horn, next to him Yun is wearing a Sailor Mars outfit with an Ironman Mask.
"I can't believe you went for the Iron Man mask, you know if it falls off everyone will see who you are. I wouldn't trust my identity to a mask you bought at Toys R Us." he says, judging her choice in costume. "Besides, you also want to cover up a bit more skin. That way if you get nicked and bleed, you have a greater chance of not leaving DNA evidence." he says aloud, like he has done this before.
"Okay, can I just stop you there? DNA Evidence. YOU told me we were going out for a FUN night on the town, and that I was to wear a costume. So far all we've done is sit in this car and listen to the police radio. This is not fun. In fact, this is pretty unfun, the skirt to this costume is riding up my butt crack and this mask is super uncomfortable. You going to tell me what we are doing here anyway, listening to a police scanner?" Yun complains.
"Hey, you always said you wanted to try every profession, find something you are good at. So now you are going to try being a Super Hero." he says with a laugh, "Don't worry, I've done this tons of time. Was quite famous back in the day. Called myself Mystere." he says, looking at the police radio.
"...okay so how about I swing you back to the looney bin and we let ol' Yun get some sleep?" she says to him, but out of curiosity she begins to google "Mystere" on her cell phone. Sure enough, she finds hits about a masked Vigilante that from time to time has stopped crimes. The guy in the pictures so clearly Joe Shamrock, wearing the exact same outfit he was now.
"Okay, so, isn't this illegal?" she asks.
"Very." he responds, mater of factly.
"Okay, so if you are going through a mid-life crisis, how about we just drop me off right here. I'll walk home, and you go play Super Hero okay? I found a job I like, I'm a wrestler, I am pretty sure I don't need to play dress up super hero..." Yun does not get to finish her sentence as she is cut off by the police radio.
"Calling all Cars, Calling all Cars. We have a 211 in progress, corner of 15th and Little." a female voice comes through the police radio.
"Sweet! Robbery, and its close. Lets do this!" he says, and slams on the gas and drives off, just as Yun was about to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out. She screams in protest as he just drives towards the place. After a few short moments, they are there, with no sign of the boys in blue yet. Shamrock notices the place being robbed is a Convince Store, so he parks the car a bit away from it.
"Come on." he says, and get out of the car, and before she can put up a protest, he has gone rushing off with out her.
"You know this isn't like the time we played Ghostbusters! WE... and by WE I mean -I- could get really hurt" she says as she jumps out of the car and goes running after him, "Wait, why am I going after him?" she says, and starts to head back to the car just as she sees Shamrock go flying in the front door.
"FUCK ME!" she screams as curiosity got the better of her, and she went running off to the store too. When she got there she takes cover out of sight, looking in the window of the store to assess the situation. Joe was already in there standing feet away from the suspect. The clerk of the store has his hands up. The suspect is armed.
"Now Citizen, I advise you to put the gun down." Shamrock says in a loud booming voice, "Or you should prepare for trouble..."
Just as he says that, Yun springs to action and rushes in through the front door and strikes the first pose that comes to mind, what she thought was a very heroic hands on her hips pose. "AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!" she screams out loud. Just then the suspect fires two shots at them, Shamrock shoulder tackles Yun out of the line of fire, and drags her behind one of the shelves.
"What the FUCK was that?" he says, a bit angry.
"I thought we were doing a bit! Come on, Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light? Besides, there isn't a FUCKING handbook on how to do this and you ran off before telling me what to do. You realize that guy has a gun right? He is SO going to kill us." Yun says, "I TOLD YOU I COULD GET HURT. NOW I AM GOING TO GET DEAD! OH I AM SO GOING TO HAUNT THE FUCK OUT OF YOU!"
"Be quite, I got this." Shamrock says, as he craws off around the shelves to the drink coolers. Yun peeks her head out from behind the shelf she is hiding behind, BANG, another gunshot rings out as she ducks her head back behind it.
"I didn't sign up for this shit." she says to her self, "Hey, excuse me? Mr. Robber? Okay my friend, you met him already the guy with the suit and cape. Uh, this was his idea, and frankly he dragged me along for this and honestly I would rather be at home sleeping. So do you think I could just walk out of here and I'll leave you to ya know, do you, and he'll I don't know I guess you two fight, how does this work? Okay what I am saying is I am new and I would really like to leave." she shouts out to the guy with the gun.
"YOU STAY THE FUCK RIGHT THERE!" he says, pointing the gun at the shelf she is hiding behind. Just than Shamrock jumps out from behind one of the other shelves and attacks the suspect, the gun goes flying from his hand. Before Shamrock can move next the guy back elbows him in the face, then turns around and kicks Shamrock in the stomach, sending him flying backwards through the shelf behind him.
"I GOT THIS! HE WON'T HIT A GIRL!" Yun screams on the top of her lungs and comes flying out behind the shelf she was hiding behind. She goes to execute her 450 Crescent Kick, only to be kicked out of the air by the suspect, sending Yun flying through the chip rack some feet behind her, landing with a thud and a scream
"I was wrong! He hit a girl!" Yun says, trying to pull her self back to her, feet. The suspect comes over and kicks her in the stomach, sending her flying a couple of inches.
"NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!" Shamrock yells and rushes at the guy, who round house kicks Shamrock in the face, sending him flying back into the wreckage of the shelf.
"I think he knows Karate!" Yun yells, groaning in pain as she does. "Maybe we should stop rushing at him! I think if I move now I can make it to the door, you should REALLY think to follow me..." she says, as she gets back to her feet.
Shamrock is still laid out in the wreckage, but she was right. By him self he could have handled this, but the situation went to hell fast when Yun came busting in. But it was his fault, he really never did explain to her that the whole vigilante thing is nothing like its made out to be on the TV or in the comics she reads...
Just as Shamrock got back to his feet, he saw the suspect pick up Yun, and throw her into the beer case, shattering the glass. Yun let out a scream of pain as she collapses to the ground, landing on her arm awkwardly. "This is really bad." he thought to him self. But just as he was about to make a move, BANG, a loud blast as if from a shotgun rings out.
The next thing Shamrock feels is intense pain all over his body, as he is struck with the force of a shotgun blast in his stomach, and sent flying back into the soda cooler behind him, the glass shattering on impact as it did with Yun. The clerk from behind the counter had pulled out a shotgun and shot Joe. The suspect, seeing this flees from the store as the next shot was aimed at him, missing badly and breaking the front window.
"YOU KILLED HIM!" Yun screams out, in a world of pain, trying to crawl over to where Shamrock was. The clerk now on the phone screaming for help. Yun can hear sirens wailing in the distance. As she crawl to Joe, the clerk aims the shotgun at her. But she finds the suspects glove and picks it up aiming it at the clerk, who drops the shotgun and ducks behind the counter. Yun continues to crawl over to Shamrock till she gets to him.
"Rubber... Bullets..." he groans out, as she gets to him, the front of his tuxedo in terrible shape now. "Holy FUCK that hurt..." he says under his breath, trying to use the frame of the soda cooler to pull him self up.
"You're... alive!" Yun shouts out, as he grabs her right hand, Yun screams out in pain. "NO NO NO I think its broken, don't touch..." Yun says to him, Shamrock instead grabs her by the left arm and yanks her to her feet hard, "Sirens. We need to run." Joe says to her.
With out a second glance or thought, the two bolt from the store, Yun jumps out the already broken window, where as Shamrock uses the door. Yun thought to her self as she did it, she may as well make an exit. The two rush back to their car and jumps in, Shamrock looking in the rear view mirror to make sure the clerk didn't watch them leave. When he was sure they did not, he takes off down the street just as the flashing blue and red lights come up the other side of the street.
"HOLY SHIT WHAT A RUSH!" Shamrock yells out.
Yun just stares at him in disbelief.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" she yells. "WHY WAS I INVOLVED IN A FUCKING ROBBERY?"
"Okay, breath, IDEALY that did not go as I planned..." he says, checking the rear view mirror to make sure everything is fine.
"YOU FUCKING THINK?" she screams, god she was so thankful for the adrenalin rush right now, because her shoulder felt super fine. She knew once it wore off though, it was going to hurt worse than it looked, and it looked pretty bad.
"Well we have one under our belt together, NEXT TIME, we will do it perfect. Catch the bad guy, save the day, WHAT A RUSH!" he screams again. Yun just continues to stare at him in disbelief.
"THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A NEXT TIME! YOU JUST INVOLVED ME IN A FELONY! FUCK I COULD HAVE DIED! LOOK AT MY SHOULDER, HOW AM I EVER GOING TO WRESTLE NOW?" she screams.
"Seriously, you're in shock, once it wears off you will realize how fucking AWESOME that just was... well minus the whole getting our asses kicked thing, and the suspect getting away thing, and ya know me getting shot and your shoulder... BUT HOLY SHIT WAS THAT FUN. I'VE NOT FELT THIS ALIVE IN YEARS!" he screams on the top of his lungs in excitement.
"...Please stop dragging me into your mid-life crisis! Buy a Ferrari! Do something normal Old Guys do! Because I was like TWO seconds away from NOT feeling alive. AT ALL!" she continues to yell at him, but he is lost in the moment and just ignores her as he speeds off towards their apartment.
The door to Yun's apartment slams open, as both her and Joe Shamrock stumble through the door almost at the same time, Shamrock holding Yun up with an arm around her. The two are dressed... very bizarre, and both looking very beat up. Shamrock is in what appears to be a tuxedo with a red flowing cape and a cheap masquerade mask with a white horn covering his face, Yun is wearing a Sailor Mar's sailor fuku with a cheap toy Iron Man mask bearing a long crack working through the mask.

Joe Shamrock is dressed in a finely pressed tuxedo and is wearing a bad party mask with a white horn, next to him Yun is wearing a Sailor Mars outfit with an Ironman Mask.
"I can't believe you went for the Iron Man mask, you know if it falls off everyone will see who you are. I wouldn't trust my identity to a mask you bought at Toys R Us." he says, judging her choice in costume. "Besides, you also want to cover up a bit more skin. That way if you get nicked and bleed, you have a greater chance of not leaving DNA evidence." he says aloud, like he has done this before.
"Okay, can I just stop you there? DNA Evidence. YOU told me we were going out for a FUN night on the town, and that I was to wear a costume. So far all we've done is sit in this car and listen to the police radio. This is not fun. In fact, this is pretty unfun, the skirt to this costume is riding up my butt crack and this mask is super uncomfortable. You going to tell me what we are doing here anyway, listening to a police scanner?" Yun complains.
"Hey, you always said you wanted to try every profession, find something you are good at. So now you are going to try being a Super Hero." he says with a laugh, "Don't worry, I've done this tons of time. Was quite famous back in the day. Called myself Mystere." he says, looking at the police radio.
"...okay so how about I swing you back to the looney bin and we let ol' Yun get some sleep?" she says to him, but out of curiosity she begins to google "Mystere" on her cell phone. Sure enough, she finds hits about a masked Vigilante that from time to time has stopped crimes. The guy in the pictures so clearly Joe Shamrock, wearing the exact same outfit he was now.
"Okay, so, isn't this illegal?" she asks.
"Very." he responds, mater of factly.
"Okay, so if you are going through a mid-life crisis, how about we just drop me off right here. I'll walk home, and you go play Super Hero okay? I found a job I like, I'm a wrestler, I am pretty sure I don't need to play dress up super hero..." Yun does not get to finish her sentence as she is cut off by the police radio.
"Calling all Cars, Calling all Cars. We have a 211 in progress, corner of 15th and Little." a female voice comes through the police radio.
"Sweet! Robbery, and its close. Lets do this!" he says, and slams on the gas and drives off, just as Yun was about to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out. She screams in protest as he just drives towards the place. After a few short moments, they are there, with no sign of the boys in blue yet. Shamrock notices the place being robbed is a Convince Store, so he parks the car a bit away from it.
"Come on." he says, and get out of the car, and before she can put up a protest, he has gone rushing off with out her.
"You know this isn't like the time we played Ghostbusters! WE... and by WE I mean -I- could get really hurt" she says as she jumps out of the car and goes running after him, "Wait, why am I going after him?" she says, and starts to head back to the car just as she sees Shamrock go flying in the front door.
"FUCK ME!" she screams as curiosity got the better of her, and she went running off to the store too. When she got there she takes cover out of sight, looking in the window of the store to assess the situation. Joe was already in there standing feet away from the suspect. The clerk of the store has his hands up. The suspect is armed.
"Now Citizen, I advise you to put the gun down." Shamrock says in a loud booming voice, "Or you should prepare for trouble..."
Just as he says that, Yun springs to action and rushes in through the front door and strikes the first pose that comes to mind, what she thought was a very heroic hands on her hips pose. "AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!" she screams out loud. Just then the suspect fires two shots at them, Shamrock shoulder tackles Yun out of the line of fire, and drags her behind one of the shelves.
"What the FUCK was that?" he says, a bit angry.
"I thought we were doing a bit! Come on, Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light? Besides, there isn't a FUCKING handbook on how to do this and you ran off before telling me what to do. You realize that guy has a gun right? He is SO going to kill us." Yun says, "I TOLD YOU I COULD GET HURT. NOW I AM GOING TO GET DEAD! OH I AM SO GOING TO HAUNT THE FUCK OUT OF YOU!"
"Be quite, I got this." Shamrock says, as he craws off around the shelves to the drink coolers. Yun peeks her head out from behind the shelf she is hiding behind, BANG, another gunshot rings out as she ducks her head back behind it.
"I didn't sign up for this shit." she says to her self, "Hey, excuse me? Mr. Robber? Okay my friend, you met him already the guy with the suit and cape. Uh, this was his idea, and frankly he dragged me along for this and honestly I would rather be at home sleeping. So do you think I could just walk out of here and I'll leave you to ya know, do you, and he'll I don't know I guess you two fight, how does this work? Okay what I am saying is I am new and I would really like to leave." she shouts out to the guy with the gun.
"YOU STAY THE FUCK RIGHT THERE!" he says, pointing the gun at the shelf she is hiding behind. Just than Shamrock jumps out from behind one of the other shelves and attacks the suspect, the gun goes flying from his hand. Before Shamrock can move next the guy back elbows him in the face, then turns around and kicks Shamrock in the stomach, sending him flying backwards through the shelf behind him.
"I GOT THIS! HE WON'T HIT A GIRL!" Yun screams on the top of her lungs and comes flying out behind the shelf she was hiding behind. She goes to execute her 450 Crescent Kick, only to be kicked out of the air by the suspect, sending Yun flying through the chip rack some feet behind her, landing with a thud and a scream
"I was wrong! He hit a girl!" Yun says, trying to pull her self back to her, feet. The suspect comes over and kicks her in the stomach, sending her flying a couple of inches.
"NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!" Shamrock yells and rushes at the guy, who round house kicks Shamrock in the face, sending him flying back into the wreckage of the shelf.
"I think he knows Karate!" Yun yells, groaning in pain as she does. "Maybe we should stop rushing at him! I think if I move now I can make it to the door, you should REALLY think to follow me..." she says, as she gets back to her feet.
Shamrock is still laid out in the wreckage, but she was right. By him self he could have handled this, but the situation went to hell fast when Yun came busting in. But it was his fault, he really never did explain to her that the whole vigilante thing is nothing like its made out to be on the TV or in the comics she reads...
Just as Shamrock got back to his feet, he saw the suspect pick up Yun, and throw her into the beer case, shattering the glass. Yun let out a scream of pain as she collapses to the ground, landing on her arm awkwardly. "This is really bad." he thought to him self. But just as he was about to make a move, BANG, a loud blast as if from a shotgun rings out.
The next thing Shamrock feels is intense pain all over his body, as he is struck with the force of a shotgun blast in his stomach, and sent flying back into the soda cooler behind him, the glass shattering on impact as it did with Yun. The clerk from behind the counter had pulled out a shotgun and shot Joe. The suspect, seeing this flees from the store as the next shot was aimed at him, missing badly and breaking the front window.
"YOU KILLED HIM!" Yun screams out, in a world of pain, trying to crawl over to where Shamrock was. The clerk now on the phone screaming for help. Yun can hear sirens wailing in the distance. As she crawl to Joe, the clerk aims the shotgun at her. But she finds the suspects glove and picks it up aiming it at the clerk, who drops the shotgun and ducks behind the counter. Yun continues to crawl over to Shamrock till she gets to him.
"Rubber... Bullets..." he groans out, as she gets to him, the front of his tuxedo in terrible shape now. "Holy FUCK that hurt..." he says under his breath, trying to use the frame of the soda cooler to pull him self up.
"You're... alive!" Yun shouts out, as he grabs her right hand, Yun screams out in pain. "NO NO NO I think its broken, don't touch..." Yun says to him, Shamrock instead grabs her by the left arm and yanks her to her feet hard, "Sirens. We need to run." Joe says to her.
With out a second glance or thought, the two bolt from the store, Yun jumps out the already broken window, where as Shamrock uses the door. Yun thought to her self as she did it, she may as well make an exit. The two rush back to their car and jumps in, Shamrock looking in the rear view mirror to make sure the clerk didn't watch them leave. When he was sure they did not, he takes off down the street just as the flashing blue and red lights come up the other side of the street.
"HOLY SHIT WHAT A RUSH!" Shamrock yells out.
Yun just stares at him in disbelief.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" she yells. "WHY WAS I INVOLVED IN A FUCKING ROBBERY?"
"Okay, breath, IDEALY that did not go as I planned..." he says, checking the rear view mirror to make sure everything is fine.
"YOU FUCKING THINK?" she screams, god she was so thankful for the adrenalin rush right now, because her shoulder felt super fine. She knew once it wore off though, it was going to hurt worse than it looked, and it looked pretty bad.
"Well we have one under our belt together, NEXT TIME, we will do it perfect. Catch the bad guy, save the day, WHAT A RUSH!" he screams again. Yun just continues to stare at him in disbelief.
"THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A NEXT TIME! YOU JUST INVOLVED ME IN A FELONY! FUCK I COULD HAVE DIED! LOOK AT MY SHOULDER, HOW AM I EVER GOING TO WRESTLE NOW?" she screams.
"Seriously, you're in shock, once it wears off you will realize how fucking AWESOME that just was... well minus the whole getting our asses kicked thing, and the suspect getting away thing, and ya know me getting shot and your shoulder... BUT HOLY SHIT WAS THAT FUN. I'VE NOT FELT THIS ALIVE IN YEARS!" he screams on the top of his lungs in excitement.
"...Please stop dragging me into your mid-life crisis! Buy a Ferrari! Do something normal Old Guys do! Because I was like TWO seconds away from NOT feeling alive. AT ALL!" she continues to yell at him, but he is lost in the moment and just ignores her as he speeds off towards their apartment.
