Chapter 5-Tell Me What You See
Paul was high from th concert, the adreline pulsing through his veins. He walked back to the the hotel room with Linda at his side. They were both happy about the concert had went. They were usually happy about it, but they made sure that they showed it each time. Because it may be gone the next day.
"I'm gonna go get a shower." Linda said. She kissed Paul's forehead then went to the bathroom. Paul flopped down on the bed and turned on the TV. He thought that maybe he'd find a channel where they were talking about him or Wings. Instead he found something else entirely.
"New York officals have found the body of forty-three year old Yoko Ono-Lennon in her New York home." The reporter said. "Her husband, John Lennon, former member of the pop group The Beatles, is the number one suspect in her murder. Lennon is said to have fled the scene with their infant son Sean. If you have any information on Lennon's whereabouts, you're to call the police..."
Paul muted the TV. He stared at the scenes from New York. Yoko was dead? John was missing? And he was the number one suspect? This news was taking away Paul's concert high and giving him a headache.
"Johnny. What have you gotten yourself into?" He asked. He quickly jumped up and dialed a number on the phone. He needed answers. He just hoped that one of his other bandmates would answer and help him.
"'Ello?" George asked, sounded a little angry mixed with sleep and some other element Paul didn't even want to explore. But Geoge answering the phone took Paul by suprise. He could've sworn he had dialed Ringo's number.
"George, what are you doing answering Ring...you know what, I don't wanna know." Paul said. "Have you heard about John?" He could feel the tension on the other end of line. "George?"
"Yeah. I've heard about John." George said. "Ringo and me are on our way to see him in a little bit."
"Where is he?" Paul asked. Linda walked out of the shower then. She watched her husband as he talked on the phone. Something had made him anxious. She looked at the TV as she puled off her towel and pulled on some clothes. She saw what Paul had seen then.
"Oh no." She said. Paul hung up the phone and looked at Linda. "He didn't really kill her, did he?" She asked. Paul shrugged. He couldn't really believe that John had done it, but at the same time, he'd seen what John could do when pushed too far. He hadn't ever seen him kill anyone, but he had seen him beat the crap out of people.
"I need to go to England." Paul said suddenly as he started to pack. Linda stood there, staring at Paul like he had gone insane.
"England? Why do you need to go to England? Paul we're in the middle of a tour!" Linda said. Paul nodded. He knew they were in the middle of a tour. He just didn't care.
"Linda, I love you to death, but John was my friend first and he needs me right now." Paul said as he closed his suitcase. Linda crossed her arms over her chest. Did almost seven years of mudslinging and backstabbing mean nothing to him?
"Paul, I'm glad that you want to reconnect with him, but what makes you think he needs you?" She asked. "Or that he's even in England?"
"I've got a feeling." Paul said. He quickly changed into clean clothes. He didn't have time to take a shower. He'd have to shower when he got to England. "I'll call soon love." With that, Paul was gone. Linda stood there, wondering what the hell had gotten into her husband.

John stood in the bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror. He suddenly didn't like what he saw. After all the years of being the way he was, he suddenly want to be that anymore. As soon as he had walked into the bathroom, he searched it. He found a hair cutting set in one of the draws. He took out the scissors and raised them to his hair and started to snip.

Cynthia had just hung up the phone with Ringo, him telling her they were on their way, when John walked into the kitchen. At first glance, Cynthia swore she was back in the '60's. The John who was standing in front of her looked exactly like that John. She almost dropped the glass she was holding.
"You okay?" John asked. She nodded.
"Thought I saw a ghost." She said. She smiled at him. "You're hair looks nice."
"Thanks." John said. He brushed his fingers through the new cut. "Well, I'm gonna head up to Sean. Thanks again Cyn." He gently kissed her forehead then turned to head upstairs.
"John." Cynthia said. John tunred back to look at her. "Stay here for as long as you need." She said. John gave a small smile.
"Thanks Cyn." John said. He headed upstairs then. She watched him leave and suddenly felt like the past years had never happened.
