[RACHEL02189]

Another day at the Luxor but Criss just sat at his desk. He was lonely and his brothers could tell as they looked at Criss through the window of the production office. "God I hate seeing Criss this way". "What do you expect Melina was a great girlfriend but when Criss found out she was using him for his fame it broke his heart". "I can't believe I'm going to suggest this but you remember Rachel Lynn's college friend. Well she's in town and I'm thinking of setting her and Criss up" JD suggested. "Wait a minute you mean like a blind date you know Criss won't go for that he'd make you disappear forever"Costa remarked. "If he doesn't think it is". "This is your idea not mine"Costa replied as they went into the production office. "Criss I need a favor"JD asked. Criss turned around. "What's that?" lookedf at his brothers. "Well you remember Lynn's college friend Rachel; well she's in town and I was wondering if you could show her around". "Why me?"he asked curious. "Don't ask me Lynn said ask Criss I don't trust Costa with Rachel" JD replied. "Hey!"Costa declared as Criss muffled a laugh. "All right I'll do it" and Criss left.

After JD talked Criss into the date he called his wife and told him the plan. "You are bad JD". "I'm not bad I'm just concern beside I think Rachel and Criss would make a perfect couple". "All right but if Criss finds out this is a date he'll kill you and hide your body probably next to Hoffa's remains"she remarked and hung up. At the company Rachel waited at the bar. She 's a good looking woman with her shoulder length brownish blonde hair. She too has had trouble dating but it wasn't because of the men she dated it was her family that made some of her boyfriends run for the border but she hoped that this date would go good. "Rachel"a voice said. She turned around and saw Criss. "Christopher boy you've changed since Lynn and JD had Dimitra"she remarked as Criss smiled. "Well why don't we go for a walk down Freemont street"Criss suggested as they left. As they walked they talked about everything from their past to what they do now.

"So you work with your father?". "Yea I do the bills and stuff"she said. "What about your mom?". "My mom passed away when I was five weeks old my dad and my brothers raised me"she replied looking down. "I'm sorry I didn't know" he remarked. "It's not your fault Criss". "How many brothers do you have?". "I'm one of five brothers"she replied. Criss whistled. "I think I'd go insane if I was the only boy in a family of women" Criss said as Rachel laughed. "I was a tom boy for a while untill I hit thirteen and when boys started to recognize me as a girl than a boy that's when my brothers' defensive natures came out “she stated. "I don't blame them"Criss replied as Rachel smiled. Then Rachel's phone went off. She saw it was her brother Donnie. "Hello Donald what can I do for you?"she remarked. "Just wanted to see how you were since you never been to Las Vegas before". "Donnie for once in your life stop checking up on me and don't tell the rest of the gang to call because I'm going to shut off this phone" and hung up.

"Big brother" Criss remarked. Rachel put her phone back in as her wallet fell out. Criss picked it up as he looked at a picture. "Your clan" giving it back to her. "Yup Donald the oldest, the twins, Jackson and Joseph, Mark, than Patrick and yours truly" as she pointed to each brother. "Well it's getting late and I have a show to do so we should get back,"Criss said as they walked back to the hotel. "You know what why don't you join me as my guest for Believe". "Sure Lynn's been telling me how wonderful and exciting the show is". As they walked back Criss started to feel better and felt like he had found someone to love.
