" Why the hell would you ask for a match just a few days after your debut? "
" My debut match is a joke Andrea. I've never even heard of the guy. Plus i've seen the card, they've got me up against that fat out of shape trash bag wearing weirdo viscera. "
" Well did you know that you're wrestling twice that night? "
" What do you mean? "
" The main event... "
Rodney gave his agent a puzzled look.
" The main event is a battle royal with everyone who's on the card. Winner gets a shot at the X-Treme Title. I wish you would have consulted me before making a decision like th-- "
" An X-Treme Title shot? Are you kidding me? HA! I've got the opportunity to become the number one contender for the X-Treme Title in my first week on the job. "
Rodney sat down on the couch in his agents office. He pulled a stainless steel cigarette case out of jacket pocket. A modest possession for a man of his stature. Opening it, his agent chuckled at the sight of about 15 pre-rolled joints, give or take. Rodney pulled one out and looked at his agent.
" Wanna partake? "
Andrea standing about 5'1, and hadn't smoked since college, looked down and shook her head shyly.
" Look at you acting all girly. You sure you don't want to smoke? You need to relax. Quit worrying so much. "
" You don't pay me to relax, Rodney. And who says partake? "
" Ahahaha, I don't know. I heard it when I first started smoking. Just kinda stuck I guess. "
" Well I'm good regardless. I've got a busy rest of the day. "
" If you say so... "
Lighting the joint and taking a few hits Rodney looked back over at his agent, who had made her way over to her desk and was in the process of what he assumed to be setting up his plane ticket and hotel room for his debut match in the XWF.
" Do you think I can do it? "
" Do I think you can do what? "
" Win my first two matches and the battle royal and become the number one contender for the X-Treme Title. "
" Of course I do. I just don't think it was very smart to make such a drastic decision this early in your career. You're wrestling 3 times in a 3 day span. That's not very smart in my opinion. "
" Yeah, but if I win I look like a genius. Get a shot at a title in my first week here. You can't beat that. And you can't turn down an opportunity like that either. "
" Are you worried about the quick rise in your opponents skill levels? "
" Not at all, I feel like I can hang with a Theo Pryce. So until I reach that level i'm just gonna keep pushing and pushing, wrestling whoever they put in my path. "
" It's a little early in your career to be talking about things like that don't you think. "
" I understand where you're coming from but it's a little early to be talking about title shots also, is it not? Maybe I'll make my rise to the top a little quicker than everyone else. Maybe I won't. But being a gambling man, i'd go all in on Rodney Tune. "
Rodney sparked his spliff back up, and kept smoking.
" I am interested in that match between Liz Hathaway and Jenna Silver. "
" Yeah I bet you are interested in a bra and panties match between two pornstars. I hope one of those ladies kicks your ass in the battle royal. "
" Yeah I kinda hope one of them does too. "
Rodney laughed as his agent scowled and threw a balled up piece of paper at him.
" Aww, what's the matter? Jealous those two women get the opportunity to roll around the mat with yours truly? "
" Ew, Don't flatter yourself stud. "
" Yeah, Yeah. Whatever you say little miss. Besides they're not pornstars, I doubt a couple of pornstars would make very good wrestlers, Andrea. "
" Quit calling me that. Don't you have somewhere to be? "
" That's what I came here for isn't it? "
" My secretary has everything you need on your way out. "
Rodney sighed and got up from the couch. He put out the half smoked joint in the ashtray and tossed it on Andrea's desk on his way out of her office.
" For later, if you wanna relax a little bit. "
Rodney threw Andrea a slight smirk as she looked at the roach and then back up at him. As Rodney made his way out of his agents office and to his plane ticket, which was waiting on a young workaholic secretary's desk. Rodney began to think about what his agent had said to him. Had he put to much pressure on himself to early? Was he ready for this? Could he do this? All kinds of questions ran through his head. But you'd never tell it, even if he was standing face to face with you.
" Here's your ticket and all the other information you need for your trip Mr. Tune. "
" Mr. Tune, I like that. "
The young secretary smiled at him and Rodney smiled back. Turning toward the door, Rodney made he way out of the building and to his 1960 Cobra which was left to him when his grandfather passed.
Rodney got into the car and shut the door. Sitting down he felt something poke at his butt bone. Rodney reached back and grabbed his cell phone which he had accidentally left in his car. Something he very rarely did, as his life was pretty much on his iPhone.
1 missed call from Madison
1 voicemail from Madison
Rodney's sister never left voicemails. Which made him nervous as he typed in his password. Putting the phone to his ear Rodney began listening to the voicemail.
" I need to talk to you. Call me back ASAP. Love you, bye. "
Rodney didn't hesitate to return his sisters phone call. They had always been very close. Rodney playing the protective older brother role, while Madison played the sweet little sister who adored her older brother.
" Hey "
" What's up little one? You sounded terrible in your message. "
" Dad died a few hours ago... "
