Medical Center of the Rockies
Loveland, Colorado
Broderick Montgomery, III half lies, half sits on a bed in the trauma ward of the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado following the UWA Monday Night Mayhem show at the nearby Budweiser Events Center. The doctor attending to Brody, a bedraggled man in his fifties, is trying to talk him into staying where he is while the resigned to his fate Brody just wants to move on and get everything over with.
Doctor McCoy: Mr. Montgomery, I must insist…
Brody shrugs, trying not to come off too combative even as he tries to get up again.
Brody Montgomery: You can insist all you want, Doc, but I still need to get going. If I don’t finish it, no one will…
The doctor shakes his head, trying to get Brody to lay back down.
Doctor McCoy: That is simply out of the question, Mr. Montgomery. Personally, I cannot fathom how you were ever cleared to compete but there’s no way you’re going to be cleared now!
Surprise colors Brody’s face.
Brody Montgomery: Excuse me?
The doctor nods gravely.
Doctor McCoy: Mr. Montgomery, you need to refrain from strenuous activity of any kind and in the wake of your most recent injury…
Brody just stares at him.
Brody Montgomery: Yeah… right…
Nodding gravely still, the doctor gives Brody a look of mild annoyance.
Doctor McCoy: Mr. Montgomery, please listen to me and please do not interrupt me again!
Brody nods apologetically.
Brody Montgomery: Look, I don’t mean to be an asshole about it, I just… too much is at stake, I can’t just…
He pauses and shakes his head, searching for the words that won’t stop rattling around in his head long enough to find them.
Brody Montgomery: I can’t...
The doctor sighs heavily.
Doctor McCoy: Mr. Montgomery, please…
As Brody continues to argue with the doctor, Bethany Kenyon, Ashley Kenyon, Nikki Peltier and Jeszika Gautier start trying to find him.
Nurse Chapel: Ma’am… ladies… you can’t…
They stop, Bethany looking at the nurse pleadingly.
Bethany Kenyon: They were just checking the three of us out after matches tonight.
The nurse nods.
Nurse Chapel: I understand that but…
Ashley crosses her arms looking just as hostile as she sounds.
Ashley Kenyon: Lady, just…
Bethany doesn’t hesitate to rebuke her younger sister.
Bethany Kenyon: Ash!
Ashley’s retort comes just as quickly.
Ashley Kenyon: What? She’s in the fucking way!
Sighing sadly, Bethany nods apologetically to both her sister and the nurse knowing full well that the situation is at least half her fault.
Bethany Kenyon: She’s just doing her job is all…
Seeing an opportunity to move things along, Nikki steps forward.
Nikki Peltier: Ma’am, could you direct us to a Mr. Broderick Montgomery?
The nurse starts to shake her head.
Nurse Chapel: I couldn’t possibly…
Nikki smiles pleasantly, making sure to keep her voice in the matching tone.
Nikki Peltier: Ma’am, we’re the only family he has and we’re also taking care of his financials…
The nurse nods.
Nurse Chapel: Three bays over… the one putting up a fight.
Ashley rolls her eyes.
Ashley Kenyon: As usual…
Paying Ashley’s remark no mind at all, Nikki shakes the nurse’s hand.
Nikki Peltier: Thank you, Ma’am.
The nurse nods and allows all four of them to keep moving forward. None of them look like they’re enjoying the experience as they move passed the first bay.
Jeszika Gautier: I hope it’s not bad…
Ashley snickers at the idea.
Ashley Kenyon: He’s fighting with them, how is that bad?
Bethany shakes her head as they pass the second bay.
Bethany Kenyon: Because he shouldn’t be moving!
Jeszika nods her agreed concern.
Jeszika Gautier: And if he's putting up a fight they're telling him something he don't wanna hear.
The women make their way down to the indicated slot to find Brody and the doctor still giving each other the evil eye.
Doctor McCoy: Mr. Montgomery, will you please…
Brody shakes his head just as the girls arrive.
Brody Montgomery: Not happening, Doc!
Both Brody and the doctor stop moving completely as Bethany gives them both a disapproving mother type look.
Bethany Kenyon: What’s going on here?
Brody nods to the doctor.
Brody Montgomery: Doc’s trying to tell me I have to stop before I’m done… I can’t...
The doctor turns to face the ladies.
Doctor McCoy: And who are you?
Jeszika nods to Brody.
Jeszika Gautier: I’m his ex-wife.
Bethany nods to Brody as well.
Bethany Kenyon: I’m… his girlfriend…
Ashley nods to Bethany.
Ashley Kenyon: I’m her sister.
Nikki shrugs.
Nikki Peltier: I’m making sure you get paid.
Jeszika tries not to just burst into tears at the sight of him.
Jeszika Gautier: Brody... you know as well as I do the doc’s just trying to do his job. Have you ever thought he has your best interests at heart?
brody waves dismissively, not wanting to hear this anymore.
Brody Montgomery: Sure he does…
The doctor shakes his head.
Doctor McCoy: As I’ve been trying to tell Mr. Montgomery, he has been injured too many times too closely together to allow him to retain his medical clearance for competition. A medical suspension has already been issued to UWA and will not be rescinded until such time as Mr. Montgomery can get two independent physicians to declare that his injuries are no longer in danger of long-term permanent impairment.
Waving dismissively, Brody starts to get up again and finds the going slightly more difficult than he remembers it to be.
Brody Montgomery: Whatever…
Bethany just stares at him.
Bethany Kenyon: Brody…
He makes his feet and almost tumbles right back over, only managing to stay upright because he leans against the wall.
Brody Montgomery: I’m fine!
Ashley nods.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, that’s why you look like you just went on a week-long pub crawl with Mike Tyson!
Jeszika nods her agreement.
Jeszika Gautier: Exactly, you're not fine and you know it.
Brody waves dismissively yet again.
Brody Montgomery: No activity… good joke, Doc…
The doctor shakes his head.
Doctor McCoy: This is no joke, Mr. Montgomery. If you sustain one more significant blow to the head in your current condition, you will be permanently injured and you risk much worse.
Brody waves dismissively for seemingly the millionth time.
Brody Montgomery: Yada, yada, paralysis, yada, yada, coma, yada, yada, death… whatever...
As the other all prepare to respond, they’re all caught off-guard.
Bethany Kenyon: Goddammit, Brody, you fucking asshole! He’s telling you if you do anything else, you die there and you’re blowing it off like it’s nothing. Well, it’s NOT nothing, not to me and not to them either! You’re either listening to him and coming home with us to get better or we’re gonna test his theory right here, right now and see if you blow it off then so what’s it gonna be?!!!?!!?
Ashley’s jaw hits the floor.
Ashley Kenyon: Ho...ly… shit!
Barely able to contain herself further, Jeszika steps back.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah... I'd listen to her.... she's scary when she's mad…
Brody looks at Bethany and then nods sadly.
Brody Montgomery: Ok…
Bethany looks at him skeptically, her voice softening massively.
Bethany Kenyon: Ok… what?
Brody nods.
Brody Montgomery: Ok… I’ll come with you.
Bethany nods, tears starting in her eyes, and hugs him.
Bethany Kenyon: Thank you.
Ashley, Jeszika and Bethany move in to help him move while Nikki thanks the doctor and then quickly starts making arrangements. A wheelchair is procured and Brody reluctantly sits in it, allowing the ladies of Arsenal to push him out to a waiting car that whisks them all to the airport and quick jaunt to home… and hopefully, peace.

Bethany Kenyon residence
New Orleans, Louisiana
Jeszika Gautier steps up and knocks on the door. Rather quickly, the door opens to find Bethany standing there looking slightly frazzled.
Bethany Kenyon: Hey, Jez... come on in.
Jeszika looks just as frazzled as Bethany.
Jeszika Gautier: Hey, B... how you doing?
Bethany nods as Jeszika walks in.
Bethany Kenyon: You look like you’ve had a helluva night, Jezzy.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah I have... did Nik tell you about the videos and stuff that I got sent the other day?
Bethany shakes her head as they sit down on the couch.
Bethany Kenyon: Just to say something had happened. I think she was worried about imposing with Brody here trying to sleep all the time.
Jeszika Gautier: I've gained a stalker it seems. The roses first now I'm getting sent video footage of me in my house. Calls, texts, emails…
She sighs.
Jeszika Gautier: And, B... I really need to talk to you...
Bethany nods sincerely.
Bethany Kenyon: Of course, anything i can do to help you with that. You know I'll do anything for you, Jezzy.
Jeszika Gautier: Carrie came to me the other night, B…
Bethany’s eyes go wide with worry.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh God, they came after her too?
Jeszika Gautier: He did say things to her too when he was texting me. But that's not it, B…
Bethany's eyes narrow.
Bethany Kenyon: What is?
Jeszika Gautier: B, please don't get mad but Carrie... me... we might be…
She tries to find the words to describe the crazy situation there.
Bethany Kenyon: Might be...?
Suddenly looking like she's been hit over the head with a sledgehammer, Bethany sits back in shock, her voice wavering slightly.
Bethany Kenyon: You mean... the two women... I've…
She trails off, desperately trying not to fall apart completely.
Bethany Kenyon: That I've... that I can say I love…
Jeszika Gautier: She came to me... and I kissed her, B... we talked and…
She shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: I'm sorry, B…
Bethany nods vacantly.
Bethany Kenyon: You and Carrie…
Seemingly chewing on it for a second, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Opening her eyes, a smile comes over her.
Bethany Kenyon: Well, you did have her first...
Jeszika Gautier: Won't it be... weird for you?
Smiling through the tears she can't stop, Bethany tries to wipe them away.
Bethany Kenyon: Yes... but... she deserves somebody good and you resemble that remark. God, why am I crying?
Jeszika Gautier: I don't know, B…
She hugs her friend.
Jeszika Gautier: Tears of happiness maybe?
Bethany shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: I feel like an idiot…
Jeszika Gautier: You're not a idiot, B... Never was, never will be.
Suddenly, Jeszika’s phone goes off. She glances down and checks her messages. Immediately, a video starts playing showing Bethany sitting alone at the bar in Prey. As a glass is moved away, she leans down and greedily snorts up a line of powder, sitting up sniffing heavily. As the video finishes, Bethany can’t believe her eyes.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh my God...
Jeszika Gautier: What?
Bethany nods at Jeszika’s phone.
Bethany Kenyon: That's me...
Jeszika nods sadly, waiting for the worst.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah... have you?
bethany shakes her head, still looking shocked.
Bethany Kenyon: No but...
Jeszika visibly calms down hearing that her friend has not been off visiting the snow fairy regularly.
Jeszika Gautier: Thank God...
bethany shakes her head, still staring at the screen.
Bethany Kenyon: No you don't understand... that's from the first night I stayed over at Carrie's... alone... that's from...
Jeszika’s eyes go wide with realization.
Jeszika Gautier: Six months ago? Fuck! But how did he get this footage? Has he been stalking us for that long?
Bethany replays the video and looks closer than the first time.
Bethany Kenyon: That looks like it's from the other side of the bar.
Jeszika glances down and shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: How did we not know he's been watching us? Why haven't we seen anything... cameras, people, anything...
Bethany shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: We were too busy looking for Joshua.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah we were on high alert. We shouldn’t have let things slip passed us, now this guy is tormenting us!
Bethany nods.
Bethany Kenyon: That’s just it, Jezzy. At the time, we were looking for things that didn’t belong there because Joshua didn’t belong and was moving in and out anyway but if this guy is from here, he wouldn’t look out of place. We probably didn’t miss him at all, we probably just thought he looked like the type that was in a rock bar for a drink or a snort or whatever while enjoying the music… sorta like…we do.
Jeszika Gautier: I still don't like that he's been watching us so long, B... I had to stay at Kris's the other night cause I didn't feel right in my own house…
Nodding, Bethany hugs her.
Bethany Kenyon: I’m not saying you should be happy, just that you shouldn’t get down on yourself or start doubting yourself, Jez. We didn’t notice him before because there was nothing to notice. He was just a guy in a bar somewhere, having a drink while the Red Hoods or the Fallen Angels played. There were how many of those at any given time in Prey? How many have tried to hit on us or Carrie or Stephanie there? How many have just come there to buy stuff and shoot up in the bathroom the way Billy used to? He was a wallflower stain on a wall next to you while you were looking for the truck coming to kill you doing ninety miles an hour.
Just then, Bethany’s phone goes off with a text message.
“Just keep telling yourself that…”
Jeszika Gautier: Fuck, how is the guy even getting our contact details... We're unlisted…
Bethany nods as she stares at her phone.
Bethany Kenyon: I…
Just then, the sound of screeching tires can be heard. Bethany moves over to the window just in time to see a cloud of smoke where a car had obviously just been.
Bethany Kenyon: He was just here…
Jeszika Gautier: Fuck... We need to warn the others, Kris, Brody too…
Bethany turns to face her friend and takes a deep breath.
Bethany Kenyon: Warn them about what, Jezzy? Are we seriously gonna be like Fox News here and be like, “Be afraid, people. Someone, somewhere, somehow, might possibly be watching you from somewhere that you can’t see and they might do something to someone, somewhere at some time, maybe, possibly? But we don’t know who and we don’t know when, how or why, so be afraid, stay afraid and always listen to us…”
She shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: We don’t wanna panic everybody when we have nothing to really tell them aside from a couple of videos and texts and then somebody doing a burnout in the street...
Jeszika Gautier: Ok, but Carrie is already panicked. He knew about her porn past too.
Bethany exhales forcefully.
Bethany Kenyon: Damn…
She shakes her head, pondering the situation.
Bethany Kenyon: We probably should at least call Nik and Ash and let Nik check all our phones, maybe our cars. She’s out so much stuff in there, who knows what kind of signals we’re throwing out there.
Jeszika Gautier: Nik already swept my place for cameras and stuff but he filmed from outside the house. He was watching while I was there with Carrie, got baiting us…
Bethany nods.
Bethany Kenyon: Did she check your phone and Bumblebee?
Jeszika shakes her head.
Jezika: Only the house, cause that was the concern at the time. I've been staying at Kris's, his place is like a Fort Knox, no one can get in or out of there without someone knowing.[/color]
Bethany grins.
Bethany Kenyon: Blue collar redneck land is it?
Jeszika nods
Jeszika Gautier: Yep, plus Kris is there and that’s protection enough too.
Bethany cocks her head inquisitively.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh?
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Did I not tell you about him and I?
Bethany mouth starts to fall open.
Bethany Kenyon: Weren’t you just telling me about you and…
She trails off.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh God, no wonder Carrie’s messing with you so much.
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Once again I find myself with not one but two lovers…
Bethany nods understandingly.
Bethany Kenyon: Do they know that?
Jeszika nods still looking like she’s been run over by a truck.
Jeszika Gautier: Yes... and both seem ok with sharing... but It still feels weird. After Brody and Melissa... I dunno I want to do it with both of them but wouldn't that cause trouble?
Bethany pauses, a million thoughts racing through her head all at once.
Bethany Kenyon: It depends on how ok both are with them really are.
Jeszika Gautier: I need to talk to them both again, its all new, me and Kris have been together only like a week, hell we haven't even fucked yet…
Bethany smiles.
Bethany Kenyon: You know, Ash is gonna call bullshit on that the second she hears you and Kristian are even thinking about dating. She’s been convinced you were slapping the saddle on and taking that pony for a ride since the day she met him.
Jeszika Gautier: Of course she thought that... cause that's how I normally am... but I haven't been laid since...
She swallows.
Jeszika Gautier: Melissa…
Bethany nods knowingly.
Bethany Kenyon: I understand, Brody and I have only… twice…
Jeszika Gautier: We've all been hurt so much it's hard to give yourself to someone like that…
Bethany Kenyon: I'm still surprised I could.
Jeszika Gautier: I still don't know if I can... it was awkward enough getting close…
Bethany nods slowly.
Bethany Kenyon: How were they?
Jeszika Gautier: Carrie and Kris?
Bethany nods.
Jeszika Gautier: They're ok, I guess.
Bethany Kenyon: They weren't awkward too?
Jeszika Gautier: Carrie was a little but Kris just seems happy to be with me. I guess with Carrie it's different because she was with you and I'm with him and I've slept with her too.
Bethany Kenyon: Carrie's probably...
She shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: Probably what?
Bethany Kenyon: I'm sorry I made her...
Jeszika Gautier: It’s ok, B... these things happen...
Bethany Kenyon: My track record there sucks...
Jeszika Gautier: Ditto...
Bethany Kenyon: We're probably really lucky we don't have anything stiffer than Pepsi in the house right now... knowing the two of us we'd wake up tomorrow going..."Oh God... did we?" and make ourselves even more of a mess.
Jeszika nods knowingly.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah no doubt. Like either of us needs more mess. You've got Brody to deal with and I have Kris and Carrie. Not to mention stalker guy on top of that.
Bethany Kenyon: Not mention what's up with Billy.
Jeszika Gautier: Fun times huh?
Bethany nods, hugging her friend from the side.
Bethany Kenyon: Yeah... but we'll manage... together, as a family.

Bethany Kenyon Residence
New Orleans, Louisiana
Bethany Kenyon turns on the webcam on her laptop and just shakes her head as she backs off from her coffee table. She sits down on her couch and nods knowingly to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: It never ceases to amaze me how some people just miss the point entirely.
She pauses to look over at the stairs to right hoping not to see anybody actually standing there. Satisfied that Brody Montgomery is not trying to sneak out, she turns her attention back to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Ashley said she was an underdog in one specific situation, versus Vince Jones because she lost twice to him and the second time she got hurt because he cheated and got away with it. He also happens to be huge, mean, experienced and travels with an entourage, at least one of whom also has wrestling experience. She was still dealing with the injury she sustained against him and with the injury sustained by her boyfriend from an attack perpetrated by Aerynn Donnelly and Shonn Maguire. in that one, specific situation, she WAS the underdog…
Rolling her eyes that she even has to go over this, she sits forward on her couch.
Bethany Kenyon: She was also speaking of underdogs because she was wrestling Amy Zing who is basically the underdog every time she gets in the ring because no matter what she does everyone always underestimates what Amy can do. At no point did she ever say she and I as a team were the underdogs in anything.
Pausing to sit back, she nods acknowledgingly.
Bethany Kenyon: Now, if this were a year ago and we walked into this match, maybe we would be considering two of the teams we face, the Cornbread Mafia and Sang Real both have multiple companies worth of experience and comes from families with long championship track records.
Turning her gaze directly back to the camera, disgust written all over her face.
Bethany Kenyon: Or, at least we would have said that until Connor and Gabriel decided to inform us all that everything they have ever done and said was a big load of bullshit and faker than Milli Vanilli.
Shaking her head incredulously, her eyes narrow as she peers harder into the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Seriously? Did you really think that would make things better for you? I mean, you guys are already looked on as loud mouthed idiots because all you seem to do is talk and that was before you hooked up with Kyle Travis for two months and bailed on him because you got punked hard by the Sin City Knights so you tell us all that you’re fake too?
She looks off to the left as if the answer will suddenly appear there out of nowhere.
Bethany Kenyon: The only having one win as a team thing was bad enough but now you’re gonna bitch about everything, tell us it’s all bullshit, quibble over numbers because Gabriel has a win without Connor and STILL make no goddamn sense at all?
Her gaze returns to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Sweet Jesus boys, I’d say if you had a half a brain between you, you’d be dangerous but that’s being generous and you probably would still have no idea what the hell you’re talking about! I’m not gonna apologize for getting booked and actually proving I deserve to get brought back the next show just because every time you’re on, you basically prove you’re both clueless and incompetent despite the talent diamond buried there under all the bullshit! it’s sad really, if you’d just pull your heads out of your asses for five fucking minutes and quit your goddamn bitching, you might actually be a dominant force to be reckoned with! Instead, you’re a male striptease and not even a very appealing one!
She glances up at the stairs again but nods when no one’s there again.
Bethany Kenyon: Bene Elohim is another that’s pretty much missed the point as well.
Her gaze moves back from the stairs to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: You two, just like Sang Real, look like you have talent coming out of places most people don’t even have places and yet you’re so busy worrying about Joshua and Maiko that you don’t bother to even try and harness what you could really do if you just put your foot down and went for it!
She nods disgustedly.
Bethany Kenyon: You guys have been held back since the second you walked in the door because you thought you needed Joshua and Maiko to tell you what to do when you’re a couple of wrecking balls just waiting to bring the pain to anyone standing in front of you! stop worrying about whether or not they’re proud of you and just fucking do it already! It’s time y’all either put up or shut up, just like Sang Real!
Standing up, Bethany nods to her camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Cornbread Mafia, if anyone deserves more than they’ve gotten out of this business, it’s you guys. In NEW, you had the misfortune of first losing Travis Blaine and then having to watch as Mac Danny tried to build the tag division around two teams that were never going to exist in the same universe simultaneously for very long. Then the revolving door hit the front office and you were lost in the shuffle until you came here. then you had the first real feud here with Sang Real, and...
She shakes her head regretfully.
Bethany Kenyon: We did you wrong, guys. Me and Ash, we should have requested matches with you or gone to bat for you somehow rather than just let you become the guys chasing their big cousin as he chases a guy in a giant teddy bear suit!
She shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: I’m sorry but now, you, Sang Real and Bene Elohim get the chance to show the world that you really are better than that! You get the chance to show there more to you guys than those three matches you had last year and Ash and I get the chance to show that we belong on top of that mountain!
She nods as she picks up the title belt sitting behind her and shows it to the world.
Bethany Kenyon: We are the UWA World Tag Team Champions and now we’re gonna prove why no matter what anyone throws at us! Let the hits keep on coming and we’ll keep sending them right back where they came from because that’s who we are and that’s what we do! We are Katt Industries Special Services and we’re here to stay!

The doctor sighs heavily.

Jeszika nods her agreement.

Bethany Kenyon: Thank you.
Ashley, Jeszika and Bethany move in to help him move while Nikki thanks the doctor and then quickly starts making arrangements. A wheelchair is procured and Brody reluctantly sits in it, allowing the ladies of Arsenal to push him out to a waiting car that whisks them all to the airport and quick jaunt to home… and hopefully, peace.

Bethany Kenyon residence
New Orleans, Louisiana
Jeszika Gautier steps up and knocks on the door. Rather quickly, the door opens to find Bethany standing there looking slightly frazzled.
Bethany Kenyon: Hey, Jez... come on in.
Jeszika looks just as frazzled as Bethany.
Jeszika Gautier: Hey, B... how you doing?
Bethany nods as Jeszika walks in.
Bethany Kenyon: You look like you’ve had a helluva night, Jezzy.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah I have... did Nik tell you about the videos and stuff that I got sent the other day?
Bethany shakes her head as they sit down on the couch.
Bethany Kenyon: Just to say something had happened. I think she was worried about imposing with Brody here trying to sleep all the time.
Jeszika Gautier: I've gained a stalker it seems. The roses first now I'm getting sent video footage of me in my house. Calls, texts, emails…
She sighs.
Jeszika Gautier: And, B... I really need to talk to you...
Bethany nods sincerely.
Bethany Kenyon: Of course, anything i can do to help you with that. You know I'll do anything for you, Jezzy.
Jeszika Gautier: Carrie came to me the other night, B…
Bethany’s eyes go wide with worry.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh God, they came after her too?
Jeszika Gautier: He did say things to her too when he was texting me. But that's not it, B…
Bethany's eyes narrow.
Bethany Kenyon: What is?
Jeszika Gautier: B, please don't get mad but Carrie... me... we might be…
She tries to find the words to describe the crazy situation there.
Bethany Kenyon: Might be...?
Suddenly looking like she's been hit over the head with a sledgehammer, Bethany sits back in shock, her voice wavering slightly.
Bethany Kenyon: You mean... the two women... I've…
She trails off, desperately trying not to fall apart completely.
Bethany Kenyon: That I've... that I can say I love…
Jeszika Gautier: She came to me... and I kissed her, B... we talked and…
She shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: I'm sorry, B…
Bethany nods vacantly.
Bethany Kenyon: You and Carrie…
Seemingly chewing on it for a second, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Opening her eyes, a smile comes over her.
Bethany Kenyon: Well, you did have her first...
Jeszika Gautier: Won't it be... weird for you?
Smiling through the tears she can't stop, Bethany tries to wipe them away.
Bethany Kenyon: Yes... but... she deserves somebody good and you resemble that remark. God, why am I crying?
Jeszika Gautier: I don't know, B…
She hugs her friend.
Jeszika Gautier: Tears of happiness maybe?
Bethany shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: I feel like an idiot…
Jeszika Gautier: You're not a idiot, B... Never was, never will be.
Suddenly, Jeszika’s phone goes off. She glances down and checks her messages. Immediately, a video starts playing showing Bethany sitting alone at the bar in Prey. As a glass is moved away, she leans down and greedily snorts up a line of powder, sitting up sniffing heavily. As the video finishes, Bethany can’t believe her eyes.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh my God...
Jeszika Gautier: What?
Bethany nods at Jeszika’s phone.
Bethany Kenyon: That's me...
Jeszika nods sadly, waiting for the worst.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah... have you?
bethany shakes her head, still looking shocked.
Bethany Kenyon: No but...
Jeszika visibly calms down hearing that her friend has not been off visiting the snow fairy regularly.
Jeszika Gautier: Thank God...
bethany shakes her head, still staring at the screen.
Bethany Kenyon: No you don't understand... that's from the first night I stayed over at Carrie's... alone... that's from...
Jeszika’s eyes go wide with realization.
Jeszika Gautier: Six months ago? Fuck! But how did he get this footage? Has he been stalking us for that long?
Bethany replays the video and looks closer than the first time.
Bethany Kenyon: That looks like it's from the other side of the bar.
Jeszika glances down and shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: How did we not know he's been watching us? Why haven't we seen anything... cameras, people, anything...
Bethany shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: We were too busy looking for Joshua.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah we were on high alert. We shouldn’t have let things slip passed us, now this guy is tormenting us!
Bethany nods.
Bethany Kenyon: That’s just it, Jezzy. At the time, we were looking for things that didn’t belong there because Joshua didn’t belong and was moving in and out anyway but if this guy is from here, he wouldn’t look out of place. We probably didn’t miss him at all, we probably just thought he looked like the type that was in a rock bar for a drink or a snort or whatever while enjoying the music… sorta like…we do.
Jeszika Gautier: I still don't like that he's been watching us so long, B... I had to stay at Kris's the other night cause I didn't feel right in my own house…
Nodding, Bethany hugs her.
Bethany Kenyon: I’m not saying you should be happy, just that you shouldn’t get down on yourself or start doubting yourself, Jez. We didn’t notice him before because there was nothing to notice. He was just a guy in a bar somewhere, having a drink while the Red Hoods or the Fallen Angels played. There were how many of those at any given time in Prey? How many have tried to hit on us or Carrie or Stephanie there? How many have just come there to buy stuff and shoot up in the bathroom the way Billy used to? He was a wallflower stain on a wall next to you while you were looking for the truck coming to kill you doing ninety miles an hour.
Just then, Bethany’s phone goes off with a text message.
“Just keep telling yourself that…”
Jeszika Gautier: Fuck, how is the guy even getting our contact details... We're unlisted…
Bethany nods as she stares at her phone.
Bethany Kenyon: I…
Just then, the sound of screeching tires can be heard. Bethany moves over to the window just in time to see a cloud of smoke where a car had obviously just been.
Bethany Kenyon: He was just here…
Jeszika Gautier: Fuck... We need to warn the others, Kris, Brody too…
Bethany turns to face her friend and takes a deep breath.
Bethany Kenyon: Warn them about what, Jezzy? Are we seriously gonna be like Fox News here and be like, “Be afraid, people. Someone, somewhere, somehow, might possibly be watching you from somewhere that you can’t see and they might do something to someone, somewhere at some time, maybe, possibly? But we don’t know who and we don’t know when, how or why, so be afraid, stay afraid and always listen to us…”
She shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: We don’t wanna panic everybody when we have nothing to really tell them aside from a couple of videos and texts and then somebody doing a burnout in the street...
Jeszika Gautier: Ok, but Carrie is already panicked. He knew about her porn past too.
Bethany exhales forcefully.
Bethany Kenyon: Damn…
She shakes her head, pondering the situation.
Bethany Kenyon: We probably should at least call Nik and Ash and let Nik check all our phones, maybe our cars. She’s out so much stuff in there, who knows what kind of signals we’re throwing out there.
Jeszika Gautier: Nik already swept my place for cameras and stuff but he filmed from outside the house. He was watching while I was there with Carrie, got baiting us…
Bethany nods.
Bethany Kenyon: Did she check your phone and Bumblebee?
Jeszika shakes her head.
Jezika: Only the house, cause that was the concern at the time. I've been staying at Kris's, his place is like a Fort Knox, no one can get in or out of there without someone knowing.[/color]
Bethany grins.
Bethany Kenyon: Blue collar redneck land is it?
Jeszika nods
Jeszika Gautier: Yep, plus Kris is there and that’s protection enough too.
Bethany cocks her head inquisitively.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh?
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Did I not tell you about him and I?
Bethany mouth starts to fall open.
Bethany Kenyon: Weren’t you just telling me about you and…
She trails off.
Bethany Kenyon: Oh God, no wonder Carrie’s messing with you so much.
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Once again I find myself with not one but two lovers…
Bethany nods understandingly.
Bethany Kenyon: Do they know that?
Jeszika nods still looking like she’s been run over by a truck.
Jeszika Gautier: Yes... and both seem ok with sharing... but It still feels weird. After Brody and Melissa... I dunno I want to do it with both of them but wouldn't that cause trouble?
Bethany pauses, a million thoughts racing through her head all at once.
Bethany Kenyon: It depends on how ok both are with them really are.
Jeszika Gautier: I need to talk to them both again, its all new, me and Kris have been together only like a week, hell we haven't even fucked yet…
Bethany smiles.
Bethany Kenyon: You know, Ash is gonna call bullshit on that the second she hears you and Kristian are even thinking about dating. She’s been convinced you were slapping the saddle on and taking that pony for a ride since the day she met him.
Jeszika Gautier: Of course she thought that... cause that's how I normally am... but I haven't been laid since...
She swallows.
Jeszika Gautier: Melissa…
Bethany nods knowingly.
Bethany Kenyon: I understand, Brody and I have only… twice…
Jeszika Gautier: We've all been hurt so much it's hard to give yourself to someone like that…
Bethany Kenyon: I'm still surprised I could.
Jeszika Gautier: I still don't know if I can... it was awkward enough getting close…
Bethany nods slowly.
Bethany Kenyon: How were they?
Jeszika Gautier: Carrie and Kris?
Bethany nods.
Jeszika Gautier: They're ok, I guess.
Bethany Kenyon: They weren't awkward too?
Jeszika Gautier: Carrie was a little but Kris just seems happy to be with me. I guess with Carrie it's different because she was with you and I'm with him and I've slept with her too.
Bethany Kenyon: Carrie's probably...
She shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: Probably what?
Bethany Kenyon: I'm sorry I made her...
Jeszika Gautier: It’s ok, B... these things happen...
Bethany Kenyon: My track record there sucks...
Jeszika Gautier: Ditto...
Bethany Kenyon: We're probably really lucky we don't have anything stiffer than Pepsi in the house right now... knowing the two of us we'd wake up tomorrow going..."Oh God... did we?" and make ourselves even more of a mess.
Jeszika nods knowingly.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah no doubt. Like either of us needs more mess. You've got Brody to deal with and I have Kris and Carrie. Not to mention stalker guy on top of that.
Bethany Kenyon: Not mention what's up with Billy.
Jeszika Gautier: Fun times huh?
Bethany nods, hugging her friend from the side.
Bethany Kenyon: Yeah... but we'll manage... together, as a family.

Bethany Kenyon Residence
New Orleans, Louisiana
Bethany Kenyon turns on the webcam on her laptop and just shakes her head as she backs off from her coffee table. She sits down on her couch and nods knowingly to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: It never ceases to amaze me how some people just miss the point entirely.
She pauses to look over at the stairs to right hoping not to see anybody actually standing there. Satisfied that Brody Montgomery is not trying to sneak out, she turns her attention back to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Ashley said she was an underdog in one specific situation, versus Vince Jones because she lost twice to him and the second time she got hurt because he cheated and got away with it. He also happens to be huge, mean, experienced and travels with an entourage, at least one of whom also has wrestling experience. She was still dealing with the injury she sustained against him and with the injury sustained by her boyfriend from an attack perpetrated by Aerynn Donnelly and Shonn Maguire. in that one, specific situation, she WAS the underdog…
Rolling her eyes that she even has to go over this, she sits forward on her couch.
Bethany Kenyon: She was also speaking of underdogs because she was wrestling Amy Zing who is basically the underdog every time she gets in the ring because no matter what she does everyone always underestimates what Amy can do. At no point did she ever say she and I as a team were the underdogs in anything.
Pausing to sit back, she nods acknowledgingly.
Bethany Kenyon: Now, if this were a year ago and we walked into this match, maybe we would be considering two of the teams we face, the Cornbread Mafia and Sang Real both have multiple companies worth of experience and comes from families with long championship track records.
Turning her gaze directly back to the camera, disgust written all over her face.
Bethany Kenyon: Or, at least we would have said that until Connor and Gabriel decided to inform us all that everything they have ever done and said was a big load of bullshit and faker than Milli Vanilli.
Shaking her head incredulously, her eyes narrow as she peers harder into the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Seriously? Did you really think that would make things better for you? I mean, you guys are already looked on as loud mouthed idiots because all you seem to do is talk and that was before you hooked up with Kyle Travis for two months and bailed on him because you got punked hard by the Sin City Knights so you tell us all that you’re fake too?
She looks off to the left as if the answer will suddenly appear there out of nowhere.
Bethany Kenyon: The only having one win as a team thing was bad enough but now you’re gonna bitch about everything, tell us it’s all bullshit, quibble over numbers because Gabriel has a win without Connor and STILL make no goddamn sense at all?
Her gaze returns to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Sweet Jesus boys, I’d say if you had a half a brain between you, you’d be dangerous but that’s being generous and you probably would still have no idea what the hell you’re talking about! I’m not gonna apologize for getting booked and actually proving I deserve to get brought back the next show just because every time you’re on, you basically prove you’re both clueless and incompetent despite the talent diamond buried there under all the bullshit! it’s sad really, if you’d just pull your heads out of your asses for five fucking minutes and quit your goddamn bitching, you might actually be a dominant force to be reckoned with! Instead, you’re a male striptease and not even a very appealing one!
She glances up at the stairs again but nods when no one’s there again.
Bethany Kenyon: Bene Elohim is another that’s pretty much missed the point as well.
Her gaze moves back from the stairs to the camera.
Bethany Kenyon: You two, just like Sang Real, look like you have talent coming out of places most people don’t even have places and yet you’re so busy worrying about Joshua and Maiko that you don’t bother to even try and harness what you could really do if you just put your foot down and went for it!
She nods disgustedly.
Bethany Kenyon: You guys have been held back since the second you walked in the door because you thought you needed Joshua and Maiko to tell you what to do when you’re a couple of wrecking balls just waiting to bring the pain to anyone standing in front of you! stop worrying about whether or not they’re proud of you and just fucking do it already! It’s time y’all either put up or shut up, just like Sang Real!
Standing up, Bethany nods to her camera.
Bethany Kenyon: Cornbread Mafia, if anyone deserves more than they’ve gotten out of this business, it’s you guys. In NEW, you had the misfortune of first losing Travis Blaine and then having to watch as Mac Danny tried to build the tag division around two teams that were never going to exist in the same universe simultaneously for very long. Then the revolving door hit the front office and you were lost in the shuffle until you came here. then you had the first real feud here with Sang Real, and...
She shakes her head regretfully.
Bethany Kenyon: We did you wrong, guys. Me and Ash, we should have requested matches with you or gone to bat for you somehow rather than just let you become the guys chasing their big cousin as he chases a guy in a giant teddy bear suit!
She shrugs.
Bethany Kenyon: I’m sorry but now, you, Sang Real and Bene Elohim get the chance to show the world that you really are better than that! You get the chance to show there more to you guys than those three matches you had last year and Ash and I get the chance to show that we belong on top of that mountain!
She nods as she picks up the title belt sitting behind her and shows it to the world.
Bethany Kenyon: We are the UWA World Tag Team Champions and now we’re gonna prove why no matter what anyone throws at us! Let the hits keep on coming and we’ll keep sending them right back where they came from because that’s who we are and that’s what we do! We are Katt Industries Special Services and we’re here to stay!
