"Not long enough Jillian, not long enough"

What a way to start a day. I had just came from the hospital and about to relax but of course, someone had to come and fuck that all up. This someone was named Jillian. She wasn't lying when said it had been a long time since we saw each other. It's been about ten year, after I had left from my old life. I was done with that chapter in my life, I didn't want anything to do with anyone from back in the day, so having Jillian here now meant it was bad. I guess it's true, you can't escape your past. Be as that may be, I wasn't going to just let her have a gun pressed to the back of my head. If she wanted me dead, she would have pulled the trigger already. Jillian wanted something from me and I didn't like that one bit. That normally meant she was in trouble and needed help. Nothing good ever came from her being around me.

"What do you want Jillian?" I asked her annoyed. I wanted her to know she wasn't welcomed

"I'm just checking up on you, making sure you're eating right-"

"That's a load of horse shit. I said to cut her off "we both know it. Was I not clear I never wanted to see you or anyone from the old days again? So why don't you cut the shit and get to the point. If you wanted me dead. You'd have done the deed already. I'm not keen on the idea of having a loaded gun pressed to the back of my dome."

She didn't say a word but took the gun away from me. I didn't have time for this, not only did I have a match coming up, with my Xtreme title on the line but I had to look more into my bounty, I wanted to learn all I could about him. Jebediah Smith wasn't going to be easy to find nor to deal with. Cult leaders were master manipulators, I wouldn't put it pass him gathering a new following of some sort. Now that Jillian was here. My plans were put on hold. I didn't like that. I turned around to face her. Jillian was as always beautiful, and before you say anything. No we didn't date, fucked? Yes. With those full lips, long dark hair, pale skin and Jade colored eyes. How could you not want to get into bed with her? I mean, if you're Red X, I get that, but that's not the point. Jillian knew she was pleasing to the eyes and you can bet she used that to suit her needs. I leaned back on the door with my arms crossed, glaring at her.

"Can we sit down?"

I nodded and walked over to my kitchen table. I sat down, making sure my back was to the wall. For all I knew, she wasn't alone. The thing about Jillian, she's like an ambush predator. She couldn't be trusted. Once you let your guard down, you're fucked. I wasn't going to let her get the jump on me again. I let myself relax in the chair while making to be ready to jump into action if need be. Taking a cigarette from it's pack. I lit up and took in a drag. Jillian did the same. I made sure to watch her every move, you couldn't be too careful with this demon.

"Please inform me why are you here. I'm very busy, I have a lot on my plate at the moment. So I'd like to get this over with as fast as I can."

"You Felix, you really know how to make a girl feel welcomed. I can see why you don't have a girlfriend. You need to fix that or else you'll never get married."

"Yeah, I'm sure I asked why you're here, not for dating advice. So either you tell me or get the fuck out and never come back. I'm done with you and everyone else."

"Calm down Felix. It was a joke. You know why I'm here? It's simple. I need your help."

See, what did I tell you? Of course she needs help not that she really needs. She can take care of herself but for whatever reason. She thought it was a good idea to come back into my life. Great.

"No, straight up no. I'm too busy and to focused on other stuff in my life. I'm sorry but you'll have to ask someone else with your problem."

"Felix. Are you sure you want to say no? I could be killed and someone with your skill and luck. You're the only one who can help me."

I knew what she was doing. Trying to make be feel guilty, trying to pull at my heartstrings. It wasn't going to work, I know the games she likes to play. She could have anyone eat from the palm of her hand. Men, women. It didn't matter but she wasn't going to get me. I admit, I've fallen for her charms before and boy, let me tell you. It was all around just bad. I wasn't ready for that kind of shit in my life right now or ever really.

"Jill. Stop it. You're asking for help from the wrong person. Knowing you, it's something horribly bad and I don't need that. So you can go kick stones."

"I had a feeling you were going to be this way. So I brought this."

Jillian reached into her pocket and pulled out a small vial of red liquid. She set it on the table and looked right at me. My eyes widened once she set it down in front of me. I was in deep shit, now I couldn't say no to her request.

"You're really going to pull that shit on me. You're going to force me to help you."

"Yes. I'm calling our Blood pact. You remember what that means right? Even if you're no longer part of the syndicate. You have to keep this oath or else Management will rain down Hellfire. You know they can and will do so."

Fuck, I had forgotten about that. I never thought she would come to collect and so I put it in the back of my mind. Foolish of me, now it's biting me in the ass. If I said no. I was a dead man. I can't even kill her to get out of it. Management would hunt me down to the ends of the Earth. It didn't matter what she needed help with. I owed her. I should have never gave her my Blood Oath but it was too late to back out of it now. There wasn't a single thing I could do about it. So now, I had a title defense coming up, followed by War Games and now this dropped into my lap. Prefect, just perfect. Signing deeply, I finished off my cigarette before firing up another one. This shit was going to stress me out.

"Fine, whatever but can we talk about this tomorrow? I would like to get some sleep. I'll help you, it's not like I really have a choice anyways, but be that as it may. I need to rest. Come back tomorrow so we can talk about what it is you need. Okay?"

"I'll be back at midnight."

Before I could even say a word in protest, it was her turn to cut me off. She rose from her chair, put her cigarette out in the ashtray and walked out my front door, shutting it behind her. Curse that bitch and curse me for allowing her to have something that big over me, but that's just life. I wasn't going to be able to get out of this one. I had to just hope that Lady Luck was there for me when she was needed. I had a bad feeling about this deep down in my gut and over the years, I've learned to listen to that feeling. Fuck

"So, here we are Red. You're in luck. I didn't lose this belt before the match, I wasn't going to allow that to happen, no matter how many people came at on the streets or backstage or even if I was taking a dump. I wasn't going to lose the Xtreme title, just like how I'm not going to lose to you. I've sat here and thought to myself. What could you do to beat me? The answer? Nothing. What have you done since you've been here in the XWF? Anything of note? No, and even if that's a fact you were still picked to be a captain for War Games. You failed that. Why is that Red? Could it be you're just afraid or do you lack self confidence? I'm not sure nor do I care. When I look at you, all I see is a spoiled rotten brat. I don't respect you and I don't see myself ever showing you a hint of that. You have to earn it and as we all know, you're not very good at pulling your weight around here. You've let the fans down, you've let management down and most of all, you've let yourself down. If that's the case Red, then I truly have nothing to fear from you."

[red]"If I did, I would have posted a promo a week ago but you're so far down the food chain, there's nothing to worry about. I could be half asleep or drunk off my ass and you still couldn't beat me on your best day. I'm glad you didn't show up to that Captain's match. Whoever you were going to draft, were doomed to fail. We non captains dodged a huge bullet on that one. Lady Luck was there for me that day. I sure as fuck didn't want to be on a team with you. I just can't stand you. There is something about you Red that makes me want to punch a dolphin and then punch it's kids. So with that in mind. I hope you enjoy our match, I hope you get your rocks off and are thrilled about it, because I'm pretty sure this will be your last title shot for a long time. Not til you can prove me and the whole XWF locker room otherwise. Little pieces of shit like you shouldn't be rewarded. You're bad for business, that's a fact Red but once I'm down with you. I can deal with War Games. See you soon."
