Sherrif: So boys did we have our selves a little fight inside this fine establishment?
Robert and Jim remain tight-lipped
Sherrif: That's fine you don't have to tell me anything! We will find out what happened here tonight! We always do!
Jim guffaws
Do you find something funny Mr.?
Caedus! Jim Caedus! Yeah, by the way, I do find something funny! All you cops are the same! You say you'll find out what happened here tonight when in reality you have no clue!
Sherif: What did you just say to me boy? Would you like a few more charges added? If I were you I'd shut my mouth before your neck deep up shit creek? Do you understand me?
Robert steps in front of Jim smiling
Hey Barney Fife, I'm Robert Main!
Sheriff: Oh, the troublemaker of this little group! Well, Mr. Main we'll have plenty of time to get acquainted on our way down to the Clark County Jail where the two of you will be booked and charged accordingly! Oh and your friend that took off! I have two officers after him right now! We will find him and when we do he will go to jail with the you two!
Robert believes there are good cops and bad! But just saying that's an oversimplification of sorts. They can be honest, courageous people, ready and willing to put their life on the line! Ready to protect and serve! Flip the coin though and you'll find corrupt, devious, malicious, altruistic, cunning or even just plain irresponsible. Robert's father always had a great working relationship police being an attorney! Robert was always taught to respect police! But in this case with Drew on the run Robert hand no choice! He had to get the police to stop chasing Drew and pay attention to Robert! Without a second of hesitation, Robert throws a hook knocking the Sherif to the ground
Drew's feet slip out from underneath him as he crashed on to the warm pavement, as he rolled through stopping for a split second looking over his shoulder seeing flashlights off in the distance! Every second the lights grew brighter, closing in on him! The dry warm evening desert air shocking his throat and devastated his lungs as he inhaled one more deep breath before getting to his feet. As Drew takes off he notices a jarring pain shooting from his ankle into his knee. He grinds his teeth pushing through the pain as his heart beats frantically, he had no choice it was all or nothing. He had to reach Robert's sister! Drew knew the back streets of Vegas like the back of his hand. Playing with Robert and Kayla when they were little!
Jesus..... Those pigs are just pretty boys in uniform, shipped in from the nicer end of town. If they want me they'll have to pick up the pace!
The police officers giving chase were weighed down by their utility belts, guns, batons and stun guns! All of which would be rendered useless unless they get a clear shot at Drew! Out of nowhere, Drew is trapped a home on each side of him behind him a 6-foot privacy fence!
Well up and over!
Drew jumps grabbing the top of the wooden fence, he pulls himself up gradually before falling over face first in the dirt below. He remains motionless! Lying there face down as the flashlight from the other side become closer and closer stopping at the fence! The police stop panting. Drew listens intently as the police radio goes off!
Calling all units! Officer assaulted and down! Suspect is Robert Main! Please be advised!
Drew takes a few deep breaths shutting his eyes leaning his head back on the fence trying to catch his breath! As the police turn back towards the strip club
Stupid cops.....Ugh.... I bet Bobby clocked one of them!
His breath came in small spurts, hot and nervous. At his sides, his fingers curled into sweaty fists! His lungs and heart were pumping, but the air didn't seem to be enough as he sat there, in a panic with trembling in his exhausted limbs. Being chased was nothing like the movies. The stars look heroic, and even sexy at times, in pure command of the situation they were in. Real life was far removed from that pretty Hollywood version of running to save your ass.
::::::GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG::::::
Drew opened his eyes to a German Shepard growling, his white canine teeth white as snow. The hair on the dogs back standing on end! Drew stared the dog in the eyes trying to demonstrate dominance. Drew makes a subtle move towards his pocket as the dog snaps at him!
Whoa! Fido! I got a treat in my pocket that everybody loves!
Drew slowly gets to his feet reaching into his pocket pulling out a bag of sour patch kids from the strip club! He tosses them on the ground and as the dog turns to look Drew again takes off! The dog waste no time in going after Drew giving chase! Drew hops the fence knocking over a few trash cans sprinting into the street dodging traffic
I'm going to die!
Drew hops onto a front porch banging dramatically on the front door! The dog walks into the street with all traffic stopping for the animal to cross! Drew's face drops
Sure stop for the dog! Jesus people! Oh shit.... KAYLA!
The dog leaps onto the porch as the door comes opened Drew scrambles inside slamming the door behind him. He sits there for a moment breathless looking around Kayla's home
Drew what in the hell happened to you! Look at your clothes! Your covered in sweat and dirt! Why was a dog chasing after you and what is that smell?
I think I stepped in doo-doo! By the way, nice place I've never been in here!
Drew get your shoes off and get them outside! NOW!
Okay, geez hello to you too!
Drew what the hell happened? Where is Robert?
Okay so.... They are in Jail! They need you to get them out!
Wait what do you mean they are in jail? Drew what happened!
Okay so don't get mad!
Drew I'm already pissed you woke me up out of a dead sleep. You tracked dog shit in my house! Now you're saying my brother is in jail! What happened?
You're brother and Jim!
Jim too? Tell me now what happened!
Okay a fight broke out, Robert and I and Jimmy kind of got involved! No choice.... We had to! When the cops showed up I had to take off I'm on parole! So I ran here!
You ran here? From the strip? Drew that's fifteen miles!
Yeah I mean here can't get a cab in this town without paying an arm and a leg. Plus I had two of LVPD'S finest chasing after me! Fifteen miles? You've got to admit that's pretty bad ass!
Drew flexes
God, you guys make me so mad I cannot see straight! When in the hell are you all going to grow up? I have a life now! I cannot keep bailing you out every single time you get into something insane! Is there anything else I need to know? Anything else that happened?
Drew ponders for a few moments knowing they just attacked Kayla's soon to be husband
Nope! Nothing off the top of my head! Hey, can I get a glass of water? I'm parched!
No!
Hey what in the hell is a guy supposed to do for a drink? I ran fifteen miles! People in the Olympics can't even do that. Give me some credit!
People in the Olympics are not being chased by the police Drew! And they are not on parole!
Okay so you have a point there! I'm sorry we didn't have anyone else to turn to!
Fine, fine, fine, fine! I'll go down there and see what I can do! Meanwhile, I'm taking you to Robert's house!
Key in the same spot?
I don't know Drew and I don't care! Figure it out!
2:30 A.M. CLARK COUNTY JAIL |
3:30 A.M. CLARK COUNTY JAIL |
Robert what in the hell happened at that strip club? Listen to the charges against you! Assault, Battery which is a misdemeanor! Oh, and I just gets better from there! Destruction of personal and private property! There's another misdemeanor! Assaulting a Sheriff! Robert Jesus Christ, you can spend up to three years in prison for that! That is a felony! Do you even know what you have done? You are going to miss my wedding! Robert, I love you but my God! I don't know if I can get you out of this!
Sis where's Jim?
Out of everything going on you are worried about Jim!
Bingo! And by the way assault is bull shit I was hit in the head with a bottle!
Jesus, Robert don't you realizes the gravity of the situation here?
Yes I do Kayla! I do! I fucked up! I did something I should not have! But you know what? I did it all for the right reasons! One day here soon you may find out about those reasons! I did this for Drew! He would be in here for God knows how long! There were some things said that I could just not let go of!
Robert?
How is Jim?
Robert he was released 30 minutes ago! There was no proof he did anything wrong!
Good, now Kayla listen to me you are one of the best lawyers in the United States! If anyone can work out anything here, it's going to be you! Tell them I will hand over a blank check! I don't care. Just figure all of this out! Have you heard from Robbie tonight?
No why? He is out doing the bachelor party thing!
Yeah I head about that! I bet he has some interesting stories to tell you!
No why? I bet he will have some stories, he always seems to have a whopper! Listen I am going to go and talk with the D.A. and the prosecutor and see if I can work this thing out some way somehow! I have your phone! Keep it hidden you're not supposed to have it in here!
Thanks, sis! I knew I could count on you! Thanks again!
I'll be back soon Robert stay put!
Robert watched as Kayla walked away flipping his phone in the air a few times before taking in his new accommodations for the time being! Dark, empty, cold as the concrete cage stood silently staring back at Robert. The fluorescent lights above Robert's head flickered every now and again as the walls around him screamed out mocking his every thought!Lifeless shadowed figures curled up in the corners of their respected cells, whispering their demented secrets. Robert carelessly dragged his feet across the freezing cold floor, and began to pace back and forth! Robert looks for a moment at his phone and turns on a live video!
I'm not going anyplace for the time being so why not continue on with Erik Black saga! Now I'm not sure if you misspoke or if you truly meant what you said! You're my worst nightmare? Really you? A man who has been here a hot second! I'm not sure if you are aware of my current situation or not but I'm living a bad dream right here and now! But back to my worst nightmare talk, do you even know who in the hell you are talking to right now? You are nothing to me, an afterthought to say the very least! Let alone a nightmare! What you have become is a pain in the ass, a thorn in my side! One I will soon ride myself of! I have literally walked through the gates of hell kid, shook the Devil's hand and walked out smiling! But I will tell you something that would be a nightmare for me and the wrestling world and anyone within distance of your voice! Listening to you ramble on for a second longer! Who do you all of a sudden believe you are? I never got the memo Erik Black was coming! I never saw you ride in on a white horse and do anything other than lost the big ones! Here you get a shot at me and you come out swinging and talking shit like you have been here running the place for years! You are a no one, Erik! Remember that for a second! You have yet to back up one single word about anything that you have been clambering on and on about!
I've been on a run that is correct. I have been on a run for over a year and a half! Wrestling the best wrestlers from all over the planet! But you seem to think these men don't belong here in the XWF? Why because the almighty Erik Black has arrived on the scene to show the world real wrestling? You can't wrestle your way out of a plastic bag! Those men that I have beaten! Those men are in the top 50 of all time! Those men would wipe the canvas with your hide! But let's talk about me for a second! Over the past year and a half Erik, I have lost 3 times. 3! That's it! I live in the top contender's spots for all of the major championships! Where do you land? Rock bottom! Right where a man of your talent belongs! How many times have you lost since being here? More times in a few months than I have over a years span! I don't need to jump from organization to, to organization to prove a damn thing! The very best talent on this Earth comes here to the XWF! I wreck careers right here, where I belong! Yours will be the next I shipwreck! This is your fifteen minutes of fame Erik! Cherish it! Because after this big opportunity there will be no more!
Erik, I find it hard to believe you are running from organization wreaking pure and utter devastation when you can't even ride a winning streak here! So you want to prove you are this first-rate outstanding ace! But here in the XWF, you've proven nothing! Lots of talk little action seems to be an Erik Black special! The optimum wrestler is standing right here before you! I am A premium cut of prime rib, while you are tube steak! Get my drift here? I'm primo, first-class the incomparable! You are about to face a matchless opponent, second to none where you are out of sight out of mind! I am one of the unparalleled Champions, a survivor! There are no runs! I reign supreme! Erik, you can bring your best, but you best wonk work against the cream of the crop the crème de la crème, the pick of the bunch! Your very best won't cut it against outstanding!
Your the best in the world at what we do? I beg to differ! Once that bell rings come Turning Point I am going to outclass, outshine, and overcome anything that you throw at me. I've seen it all! You have nothing to offer that I haven't seen inside of that squared circle! They have come and gone, I have heard it all! Each has fallen at my feet! If you think for a split second you are going to surpass me in the ring knocking me off my throne! You are mistaken! I am a master inside of my ring! I clobber and get the better of the very best in the business! Why because I am stupendous! I am worthy in every way of the championship I hold! I am the most valuable player Erik, while you are acceptable at best! I don't give two shit's and a damn if you do one bit of research on me! In the end, it will never have mattered in the first place! This match will be a flawless victory for me! My reign as Champion will remain unblemished, and I will continue on chasing my dreams! Searching out my goals! While you will tumble back down the mountain, Humiliated and humbled once more!
Robert sees Kayla reenter his cell block he tries hiding his phone but gets busted in the process
Robert? Are you kidding me right now? Cutting a promo while locked in jail! Classic! Only my brother! So... I've made several calls and pull some strings! I've got good news and bad news!
Okay shoot!
Good news is your getting out of here within the hour! The bad news is it's going to cost you!
Coast me what? Jail time?
Nope! Money Robert! The almighty dollar! The LVPD and Las Vegas Sheriffs departments want a sizable donation from you!
Sizable donation? Fuck them cooked sons of bitches! Kayla, I'll just do the time before I give them one God damn penny! That's bull shit!
It's your only option! They will drop all charges if you do! Either that stay locked up in here and lost your Championship!
Robert's eyes look up from the floor
How much?
Thought so! They want one hundred thousand per department!
Hole LEE SHIT! One hundred thousand! The mother fuckers! First, they get you in the damn casinos and now on the back end when you get into trouble! Jesus! I might have to take out a loan from that ass hole Erik Black!
One last problem! The strip club! Hey did you see Robbie there? Was he supposed to be there?
Nope!
Strange! I figured you guys would have seen one another! I know you don't like him but Robert he is going to be part of the family! Now the strip club wants you to pay for all of the damages as well!
Listen, about that place! Send them a blank check! I want to buy it! The boys liked the place and hell with APEX BEER taking off the way it has we will make a killing! Thank god you handle my money!
:::::::BZZZZZZZZZVTTTTT BZZZZZZZZZVTTTTTT BZZZZZZZVTTTTT:::::::
Why is Robbie calling me at this hour he is supposed to be staying on the strip I hope everything is okay!
Robert takes a huge gulp knowing what is about to happen next
Hello? Hey baby how are......
WHAT?
ROBERT DID WHAT?
HIM AND DREW ATTACKED YOU?
THAT'S WHY HE IS IN JAIL?
You're AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE KNOCKED YOU OUT! I'LL BE THERE IN A FEW!
Kayla places her hands on her hips
Oh shit!
Kayla grabs the cell door and begins screaming at Robert
Robert you lied to me! Did you attack my fiance? How could you! Do you not want me to be happy! You could have killed him! And Drew! What are your problems? I should have known there was something else going on here! I should leave you in here to rot! God, I'm so pissed off! If you were not behind those bars I'd beat the hell out of you right now! Damn it, Robert! Why! No! If you Drew and Jim cannot act like civilized human beings! Don't bother coming to the rehearsal dinner! Or my wedding! You're an ass hole, Robert!
Sis, there is more to the story! Let me tell you my side! Please. I'm trying to help you! I'm trying to save you!
Robert the only one that needs saving is you! Get your shit together or don't bother showing up! You and Drew will apologize to Robbie. I've got to go! Don't call! Don't text! Don't come to my house!
Kayla storms out of the cell block as Robert is left shaking his head!
How In the hell am I going to fix this! He's no good for her! What do I do?
Robert sighs looking back to his live feed
Looks like I've gotten myself into a pickle here! That being said. Erik this match might just be your everything, to me though, this match is where I bury my next victim! See you need this match! You need to grow your legend. I, on the other hand, do not! I am already sought after! I am the hot commodity! Turning Point is your end all be all, you claim to be the alpha now you get the chance to try and run through The Omega. And how appropriate, seeing how you find yourself to be this alpha dog. Unfortunately for you, you'll be in the ring with The Omega. A much larger, tougher dog and proven killer of man!Yes, Erik Black, Turning Point is your everything
The beginning of your understanding that all those skills you won't shut up about are hit and miss at best! These so-called skills haven't made you a true Champion! The beat down in the middle of the ring will drive that point home! And finally, THE OMEGA. The end of these sideshow theatrics! The end of your already dying credibility as a bad ass! The end of your pursuit for my XWF [pink]Hart Championship[/pink! The end of you Erik Black!
