I was in Switzerland with a bunch of other people. Kinda like a fieldtrip of sorts I suppose. But I didn't have money to pay for the tours there, so while everyone else was taking them, I stayed at the hotel or walked around. When it came time to leave, we were all in this office type room that looks nothing like an airport terminal. There was a lady there explaining that the flights have been delayed, and because of that, we can choose how we want to take our flights. Anyone could take the first flight anywhere, as long as they take the second one to go back to their home. So I ask the lady if I could take a flight to New York and stay there for a couple hours then take a flight back to California. And she's like "Yes, that's perfectly possible". I'm debating whether to call you about this or to even go at all. I take the flight anyway.
Fast forward and I'm in a 5-star hotel. It's very brightly lit, everything seems to be in a yellowish glowy color. I'm in the lobby area and there's lots of seats. I lay down on this big leather chair but this lady comes up to me and says I can't sit there because I'm not a customer. So I move and sit over at the bar area. I'm sitting there contemplating what to do. I wanted to go walk around outside, but was afraid I'd get robbed or something. Then James Earl Jones walks in and I enthusiastically say hi and tell him I'm a fan of his. And he's all happy and stuff and invites me to his room for a bit. So upstairs we go to his room and we talk for a bit and then I ask him if he could drive me over to your place. And he says sure, but after he takes a shower first.
So while he goes off to do that, I remember that I left my backpack on the bar table. So I'm very worried because my plane ticket back to CA is in there. So I rush back downstairs as fast as I can, and I pass by 3 suspicious looking men. As soon as my hand touches my backpack, I hear, "EVERYONE! THIS IS A ROBBERY! GET DOWN NOW!" I'm wondering why anyone would want to rob a hotel instead of a bank, but comply and crouch on the floor. There seems to be only me and another girl in the vicinity. All 3 robbers have those black stockings on their head so I can't see their faces very well. 2 of them are really stupid, while the 3rd is clearly their leader. The leader is holding up a blue plastic looking gun and pointing it at the other girl. Apparently she has some defensive skills as she is able to take the blue gun away from him and is now pointing it at all of them. They are all distracted, so I'm sneaking close to the leader cause apparently he is about to whip another gun out from his back. Just as he does so, I take it from him. It's a white plastic looking one. He is laughing at me because I'm fumbling with the gun as I don't know how to use it. While I'm fumbling he's whipping out yet another gun. I'm nearly crying now because I can't seem to find the safety switch...there! But too late, we're both pointing white plastic looking guns at each other. He's grinning at me. I pull the trigger...but nothing happens and I panic...because he's laughing at me. He shoots me. Oddly, I don't feel anything. I get a 2nd wind somehow and help the other girl secure all 3 men.
I'm limping around (he hit me in the pelvis area lol) and getting weaker by the second. James Earl Jones comes down and asks me what happened and I tell him. I look at the clock though and wonder how the time went by so fast. I go to my backpack to check what time my flight leaves. It says: 10:57in. It was 9:58 on the clock when I looked. But I'm wondering what the "in" at the end of the time says on my ticket...and proceed to ask people about it but they don't know either. So I'm up against the wall, and very very weak, sleepy-like state and talking very slow. I'm asking people in the vicinity to give me something to eat with iron in it, because I'm bleeding like crazy now. I take out my cell phone, and finally decide to call you. But before I can even dial, I pass out.
(I'll let you guys guess who the "you" I'm talking about is =P)
