Ashley Kenyon walks hurriedly away from the airport, heading for her car. As she approaches her black 1982 “KITT” Trans-Am, she notices a guy standing against it, smoking a cigarette. She tenses, waiting for the worst as she moves closer, her left hand, keys already between her fingers, starts sliding down her pants as she wishes she could have brought her usual stock of weaponry with her. A few more steps and she frowns as the man isn’t moving away or towards her.
Ashley Kenyon: Hello?
A familiar voice answers back, that of her boyfriend, Billy Hawkes.
Billy Hawkes: Hey, Baby…
Ashley slows down but lets her hand relax as she walks towards her car.
Ashley Kenyon: How long have you been here?
Billy shrugs, tossing his cigarette to the ground and stamping it out with his left shoe.
Billy Hawkes: A good couple of hours, I’d expect. Heard you was coming back early and didn’t wanna sit around waiting with certain… thought bouncing around in my head. You know how dangerous that gets sometimes...
Ashley nods as she presses the unlock button on her keychain’s pad. The car’s trunk pops open and Billy just shakes his head.
Billy Hawkes: I’ll never get used to you having electronic door poppers on this thing!
Ashley snickers as she puts her bags into the trunk.
Ashley Kenyon: Because it’s a classic or because it’s more Nikki than me?
Billy turns to meet her by the door as she closes the trunk. Ashley walks up to him and they kiss passionately.
Billy Hawkes: Both?
Ashley nods and slaps him on the ass.
Ashley Kenyon: What kind of thoughts were you having?
Billy starts around to the other side of the car as Ashley pops the doors and opens the driver’s side, stepping in and sitting down.
Billy Hawkes: The kind I really shouldn’t say out loud when you’re talking like that…
He opens the passenger side door and sits down next to her. Ashley nods, the doors still sitting open like the wings of some psychotic metal bird about to fly them into destiny.
Ashley Kenyon: Even better… how much?
Billy cocks his head warily, closing the passenger side door and buckling in.
Billy Hawkes: Ash…
Ashley nods to him as she closes the driver’s side door and fires up the engine.
Ashley Kenyon: You’ve seriously been standing outside my car for hours just so you could say you don’t really wanna go hit some after hours place and get fucked up tonight?
Caught, Billy sits there staring at her, his jaw clenching as he silently argues with himself.
“Bill, no… don’t…”
“You know you wanna…”
“Billy, NO!”
“She’s gonna anyway, you should be there with and for her!”
He swallows hard, looking down.
Billy Hawkes: You really wanna, don’t you?
Ashley nods without hesitation.
Ashley Kenyon: I had to behave for a weekend where I wasn’t doing anything but accompanying my sister to the ring so she could lose, so yeah, I’d like a beer and maybe some fun now that I’m home and don’t have to worry about looking like a complete hypocritical jackass now!
Billy swallows hard again, the silent argument continuing inside his head.
“SEE!!!”
“Billy, NO!”
“She’s gonna do it with it or without you, would you rather she ended up at Alissa Lacroix’s or with you?”
“Don’t…”
“You know you wanna…”
Billy Hawkes: We’re going, aren’t we?
Ashley shrugs, looking mildly irritated and disappointed.
Ashley Kenyon: If you don’t wanna, we don’t have to…
Billy nods, leaning back in his seat.
“Do it…”
“No!”
“Do it.”
“No!!”
“Do. It.”
“No!!!”
“Do it!”
“NO!”
“DO IT!”
Billy Hawkes: Ok, let’s go get… whatever…
Ashley smiles, nodding happily.
Ashley Kenyon: Let’s go enjoy ourselves, Baby! We don’t owe nobody nothing tonight!
Billy nods, more to himself than anything else as Ashley kicks the car into gear and pulls out of the parking space.
“This is a bad idea, Bill, and you know it!”
“She’s just told you she’s going with or without you!”
“It’s still a bad idea!”
“You know you wanna…”
“No…”
“Yes!”
“No!”
“We’re going anyway…”
Billy Hawkes: What are we looking at tonight?
Ashley shrugs.
Ashley Kenyon: Look, I want a beer, if we have to, I’ll buy them and bring them home if you don’t think you can handle just being a designated driver for me.
Billy nods slowly.
“There’s still time!”
“No…”
“We could get her to get a cab…”
“No…”
“Limo then?”
“No…”
“We could borrow Carrie’s room at Prey…”
“N…. no…”
Billy Hawkes: Carrie’s going home to Jezzy’s tonight, we could always crash there…
Ashley beams.
Ashley Kenyon: Best idea I’ve heard in years!
They nod to each other and drive off for a night of fun. The next morning, Ashley comes to and staggers into Carrie’s kitchen and makes herself some coffee. Rubbing her temples, she watches as it brews, thankful that Carrie keeps her pantry full.
Ashley Kenyon: Thank God for small miracles.
When her coffee is ready, Ashley carries it into the living room and sits down in front of the laptop she’d managed to remember to bring in with her. She gets the thing up and running and then fires it up, getting the camera on in no time.
Ashley Kenyon: So, here we are, in a Champion versus Champion match where, that’s not promoted at all despite the fact that it’s the World Champ’s first match after winning the damn thing…
She shrugs, looking positively annoyed.
Ashley Kenyon: What’s wrong, Oliver, did you have a brain fart and just forget that this match should be a big deal or is it just that you figure it’s a foregone conclusion so what’s the point?
Sighing with resentment, she turns her attention to the camera again.
Ashley Kenyon: You watched…
She can’t decide if she should laugh or scream at this statement by the UWA World Champion.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, you watched…
She nods as if she’s ready to jump through the screen.
Ashley Kenyon: No, you know what you did , Mister Silent Destroyer, Crimson… oh who fucking cares, you know what you did? You got one little knock on the head and fucked off! You pussied out and left us all here alone to fight things until we had already beaten back that which you went running from and then you rode back in with your buddies and acted like the big savior…
She sits back on the couch, sitting the cup down on the table next to the laptop so she won’t be tempted to throw it.
Ashley Kenyon: Almost funny to hear people like you making fun of Fraser Freeman for doing something similar when, let’s face it, you did it first! The difference is that Fraser didn’t wait until Craven had already beaten Cole Hunter and his minions, he didn’t wait til the fight was over, he waded in just as it was really getting started!
Raising a hand, she nods like she knows a protest is coming.
Ashley Kenyon: But let’s say, for the sake of argument, he did wait, Fraser and Kyle Travis are just following your lead because for all your huffing and puffing, all the Big Bad Wolf has done is cherry pick stuff like hyenas following the lions on their kill. You got Joshua McBride, but only after there was barely anything left to get and then for no reason whatsoever, you decided to be an asshole to the only one who always believed in you! My sister never thought you were the stalker, pretty much thought that video proved it couldn’t be you, didn’t wanna believe you could be the guy Jeszika said you could be and then you morphed into that guy, not because anybody pushed you into it but because you were that fucking scared that she was gonna beat you in the ring all over again!
Glaring into the camera, she points accusingly.
Ashley Kenyon: You call me a scared little girl? You’re a giant pussy, DORIAN! You’ve run away from your friends, your club, your family, your wife, your kid and anyone else who has ever tried to be nice to you just because you were afraid of how they were all gonna look at you if you failed again and now that you got what you wanted.
The accusing finger remains in place as she stands up in a rage.
Ashley Kenyon: That’s all you ever do, run away when the going gets tough! You ran away on us when the Children were going, you ran away on your family when shit you did made it hit the fan and now you’re running away again and using it as an excuse to lash out at people, which is really sad because of who the Sentinel was supposed to be!
The finger falls but the anger remains.
Ashley Kenyon: You were the mythical beast everybody was afraid of. Hell, you even managed to scare Bethany, and she doesn’t get scared! You struck fear in the hearts of the people who were supposed to be the faces of fear, Joshua, Travis, Vince, everybody...
Shaking her head in disgust, Ashley leans in to the camera.
Ashley Kenyon: But no matter what they call you when you roll out to the ring, you aren’t the Silent anything, you ain’t the Crimson Demon and you damn sure ain’t the Sentinel scaring the living shit out of everyone! You’re just a pussy ass deadbeat dad named Dorian who pussied out on life!
She stands back up, standing back from the camera.
Ashley Kenyon: So safe it when you say you owe me a receipt for the kick. You had that coming for running out on everybody a year ago and as for this week, what are you gonna do, beat me until I have to go to the hospital with a head injury? Great, Vince Jones beat you to that one six months ago, Dorian, and it didn’t stop me from making him tap like a fucking bitch so tell me another one, Not So Silent One! Your word means nothing, your threats mean less and I don’t really give a flying fuck if you’re mad at me because I know if the going gets tough, you’re just gonna run away again!
She leans in, shaking her head.
Ashley Kenyon: How did we ever respect you?
Ashley Kenyon: Hello?
A familiar voice answers back, that of her boyfriend, Billy Hawkes.
Billy Hawkes: Hey, Baby…
