In Las Vegas Criss is working out keeping himself toned for Believe. "Criss you ever coming up for lunch?"Sandra called out. Criss wiped the sweat from his face and came upstairs. At the table Sandra had made two chicken salads for both her and Criss. "Thanks for the shout out" giving her a kiss. "No problem" giving him a kiss. As Criss sat down he saw The Las Vegas Sun on the table open up to a picture of a woman. Criss looked at the article and saw it was about a magician from London that had almost the same following as Criss.

PEOPLE CALL HER THE FEMALE CRISS ANGEL. "I DON'T MIND IF THEY SAY THAT I ENJOY ANGEL'S MAGIC". THE FORTY TWO YEAR OLD HAS A SHOW ON BBC CALLED MAGIC WHICH HAS WON PRAISES OF PEOPLE IN THE MAGIC COMMUNITY.

Criss was impressed by what the paper had said about her. "Criss why don't you invite her to be on LIVEWIRE"Sandra suggested. "Why not I'll talk to Dave he may know her manger" and went to call Dave. In London a woman was looking out the window. "Christine stop staring out the window"a voice called out. "Just enjoy the view I've got an idea for an illusion"she stated walking over to the couch. "Oh here's that article you did for the Las Vegas Sun". "Love the picture they took of me" she stated sitting down. "I can't believe you want to tour over seas when you've got fans over here" her sister Constance remarked. "I've told you I want to explore instead of being held like a prisoner in this country" she replied. "Christine you know the rules you have to stay in the country they put you in"her other sister Jill reminded her. "Don't remind me" she replied.

Her manger Denise came in. "I just got a call from Criss Angel he wants to interview you on his show". "Are you serious book me flight to Vegas now" Christine declared. "I told them you were too busy to do it". "You guys suck". Christine went to her room and slammed the door.

In her room Christine was laying on her bed while her cat Harry was letting her pat her. "Christine why are you being like this you know the rules mom told us and what will happen if you go near Angel"Her sister Jill remarked coming in. "Has anyone ever figure out if it's a bunch of or not. Come on if I come near Criss Angel I will slowing kill him how". "Do you really want to find out now get this bull out of your head before dad finds out" and shut the door behind her. At the house Criss was outside as JD came walking in. "What's going on bro?"Criss inquired. "Nothing much I was watching an episode of Family guy with Dimi". "Are you into that show?"Criss asked getting his brother a drink.

"Let just say curiosity hit me I was watch an episode where two characters: Brain and Stewie were traveling in different universes". "Yea let's find a universe where I'm mayor for Magicland" Criss stated as JD laughed. "Or Costa's the famous one"JD added. "How about this what if there's a universe where things are flipped, like my mom had three girls instead of boys". "I think we all ready saw that universe a few years ago on Mindfreak may I just say don't become a drag queen"JD stated as Criss chuckled. "Sandra did say I have the legs for it" as JD snickered.

Should be an interesting meeting.

A few days had gone by and Christine was still upset at her manager at what she did. Why do they make decisions for me. I'm forty-five years old I can make my own decision. The phone rang and Christine picked it up. "Hello". "Good evening I think is Christine there?"the person inquired. "You're on the line with her. Who is this?" as she lean back in her chair. "This is your twin Criss Angel"he said with a snicker. Christine almost fell out of her chair. "Oh Criss hi what can I do for you". Well I heard from your manager that you couldn't be on my show and I'm curious why you declined" Criss inquired. "Believe me Criss I want to come to Las Vegas I've never been out of England in my life"she replied.

"Wait a minute you've never been to America that's like me never leaving Green Meadows to come to Las Vegas"Criss said. "Yea you could say that". Christine looked at the four walls in her office and thought about Criss's offer. "You know what Criss screw what you heard from Denise I'm coming to America to be on Live Wire" she declared. "All right I'll see you soon" and Criss hung up.

Christine went home packed a bag and went to the airport before any of her family came home. Now it's my turn to live my life she thought as she closed the door. A hour later her family came back to her room to find a man sitting on the couch, wearing a black suit and tie, with a briefcase next to him. "Oh are you and how did you get inside?". "Do you know where Christine is?" the man asked getting up. "She's at the warehouse now who are you?" Constance asked. The man opened his case and took out a square thing he threw it to the wall and it turned on to a plane flying. "So what it's a plane?". "Let's take a look inside". The screen zoomed into the plane showing Christine sitting in a seat on the phone. "Thanks for the invite Criss I'll probably see you tomorrow or whatever I could never figure out the time zone" she stated.

"I can't believe it she's on her way to Nevada". "You must not let her get near Criss Angel" he said. "We know that but if we go we could put certain people in harm's way". "Sure Criss I would love to stay at Serenity with you. All right" and hung up as the screen went fuzzy. "Oh my god she's going to kill Criss" Denise said. The screen flew back into the stranger's hand and put it back into the case. "Listen I'll go get her and bring her back and when I do you will all be coming back with me". The man grabbed his case and left.

This is a lot harder than expected

When Christine landed in Las Vegas she felt happy as the day she started magic. She walked off her plane and saw a car waiting for her. "You Christine Angel?"the driver inquired. "Yes" and she got into the car. As the man drove Christine was happy that she was finally out of clutches of her family and manager. All that stuff they told me about it's just a bunch of bs she thought as the car pulled into The Luxor. It's just as beautiful as the pictures I've seen of it as the door opened. Inside Criss was filming but when he saw Christine he fumbled which made everyone chuckle. Criss started to laugh as well at himself.

"Why don't we take a break"Criiss suggested. Christine walked over and shook hands with Criss. "Nice to finally meet my twin" he said with a snicker. Christine snickered as well at the joke. "Not the first time I've heard it Criss". "Come on" and they went into his production office where Costa was lookiing up some stuff. "Looking for your next date?"Criss inquired. "Very funny Christopher" he replied. "If you want to Sandra's sister's in town maybe we could double date?"Criss asked. "I'd be amazed if Sandra let me near her side of the family I should go I got to make sure mom isn't redecorating Serenity" and Costa left. "Your mom's in town?". "It's sort of surprise to us it seems the cold wheater was getting to her so she decided to come to see us". "Yea my dad use to do that too" Christine replied.

"I have to ask you I don't hear much of an english accent since you live in London". "Well I wasn't born in London I was born in New York but my mother decided to move to London when I was about six months old"she remarked. "Well why don't I take you to my house and relax before the time difference hits you"Criss suggested. "All right" and they went outside. Across from the Luxor the man in black was watching Criss and Christine from his car.

When they got to the house Sandra was there. "Sandra"he called out. She came downstairs as Christine shut the door. "You must be Christine nice to meet you"she remarked as they shook hands. "Nice to meet you to". "I'll put your stuff in one of the guest rooms" and Criss went upstairs. "Please sit down" and they did. "So tell me Christine what made you change your mind about coming". "I decided to stop letting my family run my career and life. I'm old enough to make my own decision so why not come here and be on Criss's show". "Do you have a boyfriend?'. "I did but it didn't work out really good" Christine stated. "Yea it's hard to date when you're famous"Criss replied coming down.

"Maybe a celebrity should write a book on you to date when famous" as they chuckled. Then the power went out. "Not again"Sandra said. "I thought they fixed this already"Criss remarked getting up. "I think you may need to get a better electrician up here"Christine suggested. "I'll be right back" and Criss went to the breaker box. He went outside and saw some of the lines had been cut. What the-. A hit from the back of Criss's head knocking out Criss . "What's taking Criss so long?". "I hope he didn't get electrocuted" Christine wondered. The door opened quietly as a gun appeared. Christine saw it out of the corner of her eye and threw Sandra to the floor as the gun fired. After a few minutes Sandra and Christine came up as Criss walked in rubbing the back of his head. Sandra ran over to Criss and hugged him as Christine went over to the hole that the bullet hit.

"What happen?"Criss asked. "Someone tried to shoot a gun at us but I guess Christine saw it and threw me to the floor" Sandra replied. Christine took the bullet but it evaporated into dust. "I've never seen a bullet do that"Criss remarked. Christine said nothing wondering if this had to do with her and what her family told her.

[RACHEL02189]

A couple of days had gone by since that incident but in the back of Christine's mind she wondered if what her family had told her was true. At the warehouse Criss was playing with the dogs as Luke came in. "Hey Criss"he called out. "How was your vacation?"Criss asked giving him a hug. "Good now tell me about this female verision of you". Criss chuckled as Oso brought back the ball. "She's pretty nice considering she's never been out of London-". Criss stopped talking with a bit of pain in his face. "Something wrong Criss?". "Just my stomach's upset"he replied. "Are you sure you want to do this you look ready to throw-up?". "No I'm fine come on" and they went inside. Back at the house Christine was coming down the stairs when she heard Sandra on the phone.

"His stomach been brothering him since he got up this morning I'm just worried that it could be an ulcer or something. I know I know thanks mom" and hung up. "Everything all right Sandra?" she asked. "Yea". "I guess I should of let Criss pick the restraunt last night" she joked. "I must of sound like a nervous nelly or something" walking to the kitchen. "Don't worry Sandra it shows you love Criss enough to worry about his health". "I guess so I read an article on you it said you lost your mother to cancer". "Yea I was very close to my mom and when she died it just hurt so much I just couldn't get myself to do my magic but with encouragement and therapy I got myself back together" Christine remarked. "Almost sounds like Criss except for the therapy". A honk honked. "That must be the car Criss sent for me see you later". Christine went outside and got into the car.

As they drove Christine saw they were heading the wrong way since Criss showed her yesterday where they were filming. "Driver we're going the wrong way" she called out. The parchment came down and it was the man in black. "I remember you. You're the one who tried to shoot me". "Very good Christine now I'm going to take you back where you belong so your twin doesn't die". Christine tried the doors but they wouldn't open. "Just relax Christine this is for your own good" he remarked. "You sound like my father but this time I'm running my own life". She got on her back used all the strength in her legs and broke the glass. Christine jumped out and after landing on the ground she ran off as the man in black stopped. He got out, grabbed his gun and went after Christine.
