"Yeah. I don't know how long we're gonna be here. Stuffs been crazy with Erik lately, we just feel this is the best option."
Rachel Josten sat in their hotel room, on her cell phone. On the other end was her mother. Erik walks out of the bedroom and sits down beside her. He whispers something to her.
"I know mom, we'll be OK, don't worry. Erik sends his love... OK, you too."
*click*
"How's she doing?" Erik asks.
"She's doing great. She's just worried, that's all."
"Understandable."
*knock. knock. knock.*
"Room Service!"
Erik raises an eyebrow as he turns towards the door.
"I didn't order any room service. Did you?"
"No."
"Go in the room."
"Erik, maybe it's just room service and they have the wrong room."
"Not taking that chance. Go in the room now."
Rachel gets up and rushes in the room, where their child is sleeping. Erik walks to the door and peeps through the peep hole. On the other side of the door is a man in his hotel uniform, with his head hung slightly low where Erik can't make out who it is. The gentleman does have a hotel cart which a couple of covered plates on them. Erik takes a deep breath before swinging the door open and grabbing the young man by the collar and pulling him into the room. The young man shrieks in horror as Erik lifts him off his feet.
"Who the fuck are you?! Who sent you?!"
"I sent him." says a voice from outside the doorway. Erik looks over and standing there is his best friend, Christian Connolly. Erik immediately drops the young man and looks remorseful.
"I'm so, so sorry." Erik says apologetically, while trying to straight up the young man's clothes.
"It's alright, sir. Mr. Connolly warned me this may happen."
"Oh he did?"
"Damn right, I did. Oh, here ya go, kid." Connolly reaches into his back pocket and pulls out an envelope. He hands it to the kid and the kid says 'Thank you!'. He steps out the room, grabs the cart and pushes it inside the room, closing the door behind him.
Connolly takes off his shades before plopping down onto the couch. The bedroom door creaks open and Rachel pokes her head out to see what's going on.
"Is everything OK out here? I heard yelling, then it got quiet."
"Oh yeah, everything is fine. Just catching up with the big lug here."
Rachel looks over to Christian and runs over to him, hugging him around the neck.
"I swear, you bring food and you always get this reaction from women."
Rachel lets go of his neck and shoves him. "Jerk." she says with a smile.
"So the gang all here. Do you know what I had to go thru to find you? You know the company has been looking for you the past two weeks? You got a match in two days. Like I really need to know what's going on. Ever since this, Dark Truth character came around, he's been all in ya-"
"He came to my house."
"Wait, what? The Dark Truth came to your house?"
"I don't know, but someone working for him, came to my house and took these."
Erik pulls out his phone, pulls something up and hands it to Christian. Christian looks at the phone and his face turns to a look of disgust & anger. "Fuck." he mutters before throwing the phone down, not wanting to see anymore.
"Yeah. Those were text to me. He has my phone number, he has my address. I can't risk anything happening to Rachel and my son. So we've been staying here ever since."
"Wow, OK. This.. this is more serious than could've thought. I just thought the Dark Truth was some psycho looking to make a name for himself, but this.. this is too far. Does anybody else know you're here?"
"No. Only other person that knows any of this situation is Shawn. I know he has a lot of connects in the Seattle area, maybe he can find something out."
"OK cool. We'll. I know you're not gonna want to hear this but you have to get your mind back on track on wrestling. You got a match this week that you can't afford to lose."
"It's against John Tolly. I can beat him on my deathbed."
"Yeah until the lights go out and your mind is taken off the match. You gotta stay focused. Your giving him what he wants. He wants to control you and by occupying space in your mind, he's doing just that."
"So what am I supposed to do? Just act like none of this ever happened?"
"Of course not. I have a plan."
"Oh Lord."
"What? My plans are great. You should be thankful that I only have the Jackass and Maylock to worry about this week that I had plenty of time to come up with this." *turns to Rachel* "Rachel darling, will bring that cart over? Let's all sit down and work thru this masterful plan."
Rachel goes over and grabs the cart, pushing it over to Christian & Erik as the scene fades to black.
