::It looked like the inside of some kind of abandoned structure at first glance. Lit only by black light, or blue light would be more accurate. The hallway opened to so many doors and walking down the hallway were four women. Two with beautiful blond hair, another with brown hair with blond highlights and one with black hair.

The two blondes couldn't have been further from one another in appearance from behind. One walked tall and proud in leather pants and a half top while the other swings her hips in her own leather pants and tank top. The brown haired woman wore a pair of blue jeans and a simple white shirt cut off at the stomach to show the small of her back, while the black haired woman looked to be dressed in leather, but with a more punk feel to her.

As the four women walked together one of them broke away and turned into a room. The room held the bound and gagged body of Broderick Montgomery. He wore a straight jacket and his stubble covered cheeks were tilted down and he looked exhausted. Beaten and broken.

It was then that the woman came into more clear focus. As she walked around him trailing a finger across his bound form. It was Jeszika Gautier.....and yet not her. She was both more beautiful, and yet more terrible. In her hand she held a long, thick bladed knife and was trailing it along his shoulder.

Brody struggled against the bonds of the straight jacket as the woman who was and yet was not Jeszika laughed. She leaned down and licked the side of his face purring. As she came around to the front of him and faced him the two shared a look and Jeszika threw a leg over him to straddle him. From behind you could see her ponytail fly and the way her back arched, hugging a backside that could only be Jeszika's as she turned her head and kissed the bound man and the bound man kissed her right back.

Each passing moment the kiss got more passionate until she took her free hand and yanked pulling the right side of the straight jacket off and down his arm and then slid from his lap pulling the bondage device with her. Leaving him in a simple tank top.

The two shared a hungry passionate look and she reached for Brody, who took her by the arms but just as their lips were about to meet again he yanks forward and drives a knee into her mid section. The woman who was Jeszika...and yet wasn't jeszika fell, leaving the knife in Brody's grasp and he brought it down, once, and then twice until the warm spray of blood shoot across his chest and face. The look on his face was.....feral. Bestial and furious.

Brody wipes the hand holding the knife across his forehead and then takes one final look at the dead body of Jeszika Gautier and then turns and flee's the room. When he gets into the hallway he looks behind him breezily and then takes off at a dead run.

He had no sooner left the room then another woman entered. It was clearly Ashley Kenyon but like with Jeszika she was both more beautiful and yet more terrible to behold. She looked down at the body of Jeszika and then pull an alarm button on the wall.

All around Brody the building turned red as the lights flashed to red and the alarm sounded. As soon as that red light kicked on Brody went from a run to sprint. As he passed by a pair of doors two women came from them as he passed and immediately went into pursuit. Like with Jeszika and Ashley, the two women were Bethany Kenyon and Aerynn Donnelly. Each more lovely and yet more dangerous and evil looking.

As he hit a hallway with a four way turn Brody slipped and the women were on him. Raining down blows and trying to pull him backwards, but Brody fought with everything he had and was able to pull himself back to his feet and took off at a dead sprint. As he turned a corner and lost sight of the Bethany and Aerynn he ran to a door and kicked hard. The door burst open and he fled inside and shut the door quickly.

Behind him in the hallway Bethany and Aerynn raced by him and Brody turned to find a strange short brown haired slender woman wearing a straight jacket. She didn't look evil, or even angry. She looked scared. She opened her mouth and screamed.....::

Woman: “HELP!”

::After only a split second of hesitation Brody cut the back of the straight jacket with the knife and she pulled the jacket from her body. As Brody turned to leave the room the woman pulled shackles from her ankles. Brody left the door heading one way and the woman the other.

Brody continued down the hallway until he came to a door which led to stairs but before he could grab the door it opened and the twisted, evil form of Ashley Kenyon came through the door. The two locked eyes and then Brody about faced and turned sprinting back the way he had come.

Brody seemed to find forever until he lost Ashley and came to the final room. As he entered the room he found himself staring....at himself. But this version was stumbled and hooded and eyes burning with hate and madness and then Brody felt something smack off the back of his head and he collapsed, leaving nothing but the eyes of the creature that inhabited him sitting chained to a chair.

Finally the doors outside the building opened to a parking lot and Aerynn, Ashley and Bethany, or what looked like them, led a hooded Brody and three others in hoods from the building and stuffed him in the back of a van as the short brown haired woman watched from the bushes.

It was then as that final scene played that Brody sat bolt up on the bench where he had been sleeping. Brody sat up and ran his hand down his face, telling hismelf over and over again that it was just a dream.....and he heard her voice for the first time.::

Woman: “You.....okay?”

::Brody looked over and found he wasn't alone. A woman sat next to him on the bench had on a white and brown summer dress and had short and spikey brown hair. The same woman he had seen in his dream. As messed up as it was.::

Brody: “.....Not really....”

Woman: “....I've seen you around.....”

Brody: “Yea. I get around....”

Woman: “Don't you have anywhere to go? Family?”

Brody: “....my place to go was taken from me.....my family is dead.”

Woman: “....Friends?”

Brody: “.....Not that haven't moved on.”

Woman: “.....That settles it. Your coming back with me.”

::Brody looked at the woman like she was insane.::

Brody: “You....want me to go with you? You don't know me from Adam....and I sure as hell don't know you.....”

::The woman held her hand out slowly.::

Woman: “....I am Jayni Sullivan. And you.....are....are someone who needs a break.”

::Brody looked at her hand like it was a live snake and then slowly took it and shook it slowly.::

Brody: “....Broder.....Brody. Call me Brody.”

Jayni: “Come on Brody. Let's get you something to eat, a shower and a change of clothes.”

::Brody nodded with the faintest hint of a smile and Jayni led them to a run down pick up truck. Rust spotted. An old school ford and Brody climbed into the passenger seat.::

::When the U.W.A. Camera opened the scene it was to a beaten up Ford Pick up truck. The truck had been red at one point, but it was more rust colored then anything now. It was the same truck the U.W.A. Had seen stalking Joshua McBride a few months before and this time Brody and Jayni were seated on the downed tailgate.

Brody was wearing the same leather jacket with the fabric hood pulled up shadowing his face. A black tank top beneath it and a pair of holey blue jeans above black boots. Jayni's hair was brown, spiked and shaded with purple and she wore a summer dress with a pair of brown stretch pants below them and had her legs crossed at the knee.::

Jayni: “You sure you wanna do this Brody?”

Brody: “I have to.”

Jayni: “But...what if it works?”

Brody: “....Then it works. All of this trouble was because of me. I need to try and salvage something. Anything.”

Jayni: “Alright. I'll be right here.”

::Jayni offered him one final nod as Brody slid from the tailgate and turned toward the warehouse. Brody knew where to go, but still going alone terrified him. Still, he knew he couldn't take Jayni with him. Not for this. When he walked into the warehouse he made a beeline for the bar. The outfit a normal pair of blue jeans and a black pair of leather boots. The leather jacket was opened to a black simple shirt and the hood was up. When he reached the bar he lifted his hand and said::

Brody: "Beer please."

::He knew which bartender to go to and when she brought the beer he gently grabbed her wrist, not a threat but enough to get her to look up and beneath the darkness of the hood and see...who it was.::

Brody: "....When is your break....we....should talk."

::She frowns but nods. ::

Carrie: "Outside or just here?"

Brody: "Somewhere Private....please."

::She may realize....he was very jumpy.::

::Carrie nods slowly.::

Carrie: "Follow me..."

::She turns and nods to the blonde bartender. ::

Carrie: "I need a minute, ok?"

::The blonde woman nods and Carrie starts for the back room, motioning at the man to follow her. When they reached the back room Brody seemed to relax, somewhat, but he never pulled the hood down.::

Brody: "...you look good Carrie. How are you?"

Carrie: "Depends on what day it is."

Brody: "Carrie look....i know you don't like me. And i don't blame you. I made Aerynn....treat all of you like shit. And i cannot apologize enough for that....but i need to...i don't understand...."

::He was stammering and obviously uncomfortable. This wasn't easy.::

Brody: "...What's up with you and Beth?"

::Carrie takes a deep breath.::

Carrie: "I love her, she loves me... I can't look at... any...of them and not see Melissa being dragged out of the room. I can't..."

::She trails off, searching for words.::

Carrie: "i should have been able to do more than lie there and bleed..."

::For a moment Brody said nothing. This was the moment. this was the choice. Making his choice he steeled himself and reached out and laid a hand on her shoulder.::

Brody: "....Joshua McBride...didn't hurt her. He didn't...want to. She was a means to an end...you did the right thing Carrie. Had you fought harder...had they taken you too....You weren't worthy to them....they would have done to you...what they did to me. Torn the sanity from your mind....danced to the sounds of your screams. It's not your fault Carrie....and it's not theirs either. They fought. tooth and nail they fought. Do not deny yourself....or her, of yourselves."

Carrie: "Why are you telling me this?"

Brody: "....Because you two were good together. And if anything....Bethany deserves a little happiness....and so do you Carrie. Joshua....what he did taught me more then he realizes. About love....about closeness and companionship. About how much you need it....about how much not having it hurts. He taught me...how much it can destroy you to watch her...with someone else. Like you don't matter anymore. just....don't give up."

::Carrie nods slowly.::

Carrie: "What about you?"

Brody: "......"

::Brody reached out and gently touched the side of Carrie’s head.::

Brody: "....I have to protect her. They started it....they fought a damn good war...and now i take the fight to him. I...have to protect her."

::Brody wasn't making much sense, or perhaps, to much? He offered one last smile and then turned and left the back room. Brody didn't look back the entire way out of the bar. When he got outside he walked to the truck and laid his hands on the sides of the bed taking deep breaths....and then Jayni was there, a hand on his shoulder and a understanding look in her eyes.

Brody looked over at her a moment and then nodded, as if to say it was done and then looked over at the camera a moment and Jayni stepped back. This is what he did. Where he excelled. The one thing Joshua could never take from his. His drive. His desire.::

Brody: “.....One rung at a time. That's is what life is to me now. One rung at a time. One step. One foot in front of the other. That....”

::Brody steeled himself and motioned with his thumb behind him to the bar.::

Brody: “.....was a step toward one goal. Toward fixing something that Joshua tore apart. But this.....”

::Brody then motioned between himself and the camera.::

Brody: “....is something different. See, this is about so many different factors. Supporting Jeszika and trying to get through to Aerynn. Making sure Joshua gets what's coming to him and rebuilding what that madman worked so hard to destroy....”

::Brody took a deep breath and leaned back on the truck. The camera couldn't see much of his face. Just the stubble covered jaw and cheeks and full lips.::

Brody: “And to do that I need to get back on the kind of roll that made me so dangerous before. Vince Jones stopped that and.....props to Vince for winning that battle. Great job man but now....we have the newly crowned Television Champion. Amy Zing.

Amy you are a hell of a competitor in your own right. You wouldn't be the TV Champion if that wasn't true....but you are just another rung to me. You....your title....your very way of life is just another rung. Another step in the direction that ends with Joshua's career over and the World Wrestling Championship coming off the waist of that psycho Aerynn Donnelly.

Now do not take this to mean I am taking you lightly. Nothing could be further from the truth. I see you for the great fighter you are. The great fighter who is working her hardest to become a great Champion....but you lack the one thing that will help you win this little war of ours....”

::Brody leaned in close to the camera and whispered.::

Brody: “....You are fighting for honor.....i am waging a war. Do you know how impossible it is to stop a man when he is fighting for his convictions? Defending those he loves and his home? Sorry Amy....but when push comes to shove....you will learn as the others have...”

::Brody paused a moment as if he was about to speak....to speak that catch phrase and then his head canted to the side. What he said next came out as the faintest whisper.....but to himself.::

Brody: “.....it doesn't make sense anymore.....not after all I have been through. All I have lost....”

::For a moment Brody thought and then he grinned a bit and looked back at the camera.::

Brody: “....In all of this do you know what I have learned Amy? Not that everyone has a price.....is that's it takes losing everything to realize....you had nothing to start with. Perhaps someday you will come to this realization as well?”

::The tailgate banged shut and Brody slid into the passenger seat of the old beat up truck. Jayni turned the key and the engine turned over and the two of them disappeared into the distance leaving the warehouse bar behind in the distance.::
