She walked off the stage towards the canteen area where a rather large man stopped her, 'erm miss, Jon would like you to wait backstage for him if you don't mind.' Looking at the man, she thought to herself why should she trust him, or Jon for that matter...but against her better judgement she replied 'what the hell, it's not like i have anywhere to go'. The burley man introduced himself as Stan, he was one of the band's minders and as it turned out was a really nice guy. She filled him in on her situation from waking up in the first aid tent to winding up on stage with the band. At the end of her story he chuckled in his deep tone and simply said 'Well at least if you owe anyone any money you can say i don't remember and it's the truth!' He wasn't that funny but she was just greatful of the light relief and laughed out loud. They spent another half hour or so chatting before they heard fireworks going off and what she supposed was the end of the gig...

The band left the stage after taking in huge amounts of applause from the crowd, Jon, Richie and David were in stitches because Tico had to be practically dragged from the stage he was enjoying it so much. 'So anyway' laughed Richie, 'That after show party is going to be a good one, i can feel it in my bones. We just gave that stadium one hell of a send off boys!' Jon smiled 'Well guys there is just this thing...' Tico laughed out interupting him 'Would that be a lady thing?' The rest of the guys all laughed at that remark. Jon smirked 'Well what can a guy do? No really i just feel like a quiet one'. They carried on walking down the corridor where they met Stan, 'She's in the canteen boss' he said to Jon. The rest of the guys just walked off laughing 'Just a quiet night eh?' chuckled David.

Walking into the canteen Jon saw her sat with her back to the doorway, hugging her legs. 'They don't like it if you put your feet up on the chairs'...she turned round with a start, and was encountered with those big blue eyes. 'Hey...sorry i was just' she stuttered, 'hahaha i was kidding' Jon replied trying to lighten the mood. 'Hey Shortstuff...' Jon smiled as he spoke, 'You can quit with the shortstuff for a start' she said trying to sound indignant but she couldn't hide her smile. Jon laughed before his face turned more serious, 'listen Stewart told me that you are going to be staying in police accomodation?' She just shrugged her shoulders sadly in reply, 'Well hey i have a plan, our hotel suites actually have two rooms a piece...so i can bunk in with one of the guys and you are welcome to mine, until we here from your family that is'. Looking at him astounded by the generosity of a guy she had met only minutes earlier she considered his offer, 'that is very kind of you...and i guess i am not in a position to turn it down'. 'Well that's settled then' Jon said as he stood, 'limo is waiting out front, come on'.
