Getting the Team Together

     "Do you Arnold Steph Harrington take this women to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
     "Hold up, your middle name is Steph?" the bride asked him.
     "Honey that's really not important right now is it?" the groom asked.
     "Um yeah it is. It's like really important. I don't care if you saved the world three times over. I can't marry a man who's middle name is Steph. It's bad enough I agreed to the whole Harrington thing, but Steph! I'm sorry but I can't do this," the bride took off her veil and threw both it and the bouquet at the priest, "Here you go use it for someone else."
     "But Honey please wait don't do this. It's just a middle name!"
     "Yeah a middle name that sucks!" she shouted half way down the aisle headed for the double doors.
     Arnold turned and looked at the priest. The priest had no idea what to do he just stood there and shrugged his shoulders in disbelief. In the front row his mother was clutching dramatically onto her chest. On the left of her, her third husband was asleep. On the other side of the church the brides family were slowly creeping out the back giggling as they were leaving. The only person left was the brides father. He got up from his seat and walked up to the alter. He planted himself in front of Arnold and put one hand on his shoulder.
     "I can't believe I broke out of the mental hospital for this shit," he took his hand off the grooms shoulder and walked out the church.
**********************************************************************************
     "I'm so sorry bro."
     "Man you dodged a bullet. Her family was crazy. Remember the time you offered to watch her baby cousin and the little bastard set your laptop on fire.....and the kid was only two. He could barley walk. Geezz."
     "Do you guys need anything?" the waitress asked.
     "No thank you," Arnold replied.
     "Scratch that, miss we're going to need a round of shots for the whole table. Please and thank you."
     "None for me," Cappuccino told the waitress on the side.
     "Same here," Archer added.
     "Tonight boys...nay MEN..and women," the guy winked at Cappuccino, "WE DRINK!"
     "Calm down Thomas," Arnold pulled his tipsy friend off the booth seat.
     "Hey Arnold do you think we can talk to you somewhere private?" Arnold shook his head and got up in search for an empty booth away from his drunken comrades. Archer and Cappuccino followed him into the booth of his choice. "Can I first start by saying I am truly sorry for..."
     "Cut the crap Archie. What do you want?" Arnold asked his long lost friend.
     "Nice to see I'm not the only one that calls him Archie," Cappuccino chimed in smirking at Archer.
     "And you are?" Arnold asked Cappuccino.
     "Apparently I'm one of Archies 'friends'," Cappuccino refused to disclose any information about herself.
     "You most be because he doesn't just let anyone call him Archie," Arnold shot a look at his now mute friend. "Archie what the hell are you doing here?"
     "Shh," Archer replied.
     "Did he just shh me?" Arnold asked Cappuccino. Before she could respond Archer put his finger over her lips and shhhed her too. "Did he just shh you? Archie what the hell is wrong with you?"
     Across the bar there were two shady looking men. Archer had noticed them as they came in.Neither of them had ordered anything yet and they made a sizable fuss about having to sit in the back corner booth. Also every time the waitress went to check on them they would wave her off before she could get a word out.
     "Archie you have one more time to,"
     "Shh," Archer took his other hand and held hid finger up to his friends lips. Cappuccino who was now tired of Archers nonsense bit his finger causing him to pull back both of his hands. "What'd you do that for?" Cappuccino pointed over at an irritated Arnold. "Hey mate."
     "Archie what the hell are you here? Why were you at my flop of a wedding?," Arnold noticed his friends attention was else where, "and why are you so interested in the Queens men?" Arnold had grabbed Archers attention and caused him to turn to him.
     "Who's that?"
     "The two shady guys sitting in the back corner that you haven't taken your eyes off of. They are just two of The Queens men."
     "Arnie have I introduced you to my lovely partner Cappuccino Jones," Archer directed the attention to a half annoyed half ticked Cappuccino.
     "Yes, we have already gotten acquainted," Arnold told him.
     "Good, good...on another note have you ever heard of someone called The Rabbit?"
