He placed his right hand to his forehead, wiping away a few beads of sweat. The whiskey in his blood had his body heat sky rocketing. It was only a few shots, but it had done the trick. It had helped to ease his still lingering anger for Outlaw Inc. Sure, Shawn and Ayden had picked up the victory over the two but that wasn't enough.
The walk from the bar back to his hotel was excruciating. Bypassing the bar in the hotels lobby, Shawn made a bit of a walk to a smaller bar just a few blocks away. Hoping there would be less chance of running into Ayden, Kelly, or anyone else he didn't want to see right now. Fortunately, he was right. The place was dead and Shawn was able to enjoy his drinks in peace. Now, tired and stumbling through the hotel lobby, Shawn was regretting choosing a location so far away.
"Where the hell is the eleva...."
He stops in mid sentence seeing the big metal doors just a ways down the corridor ahead of him.
"There you are!"
He says with a bit of a slur. Slowly, he makes his way towards his target. The large mirrored doors looming infront of him.
"Your a sexy fella Shawn Stone..."
He says to his reflection in the doors. Slowly, he reaches for the elevator buttons. Not remembering for sure, but assuming that his room wasn't in the basement, he hits the arrow pointing up. He waits a few moments, then a few more, then a few more...Then finally, a chinging sound is heard. The doors slowly begin to part. Ah, the lovely echo of elevator music. It was almost enough to make Shawn sick as he stepped inside the elevator.
"What floor am I on again?"
He ponders that thought for a second, then randomly hits the nine button.Why not? He asks himself. It sounded right. |

[glow=red,2,300]"Everything has been going well so far....Yes I have a match at this weeks Brash."[/glow]
Nikki listened while the person on the other end of her cell phone rambled in her ear. Her search was going no where, the fact that she had very little go on wasn't helping.
[glow=red,2,300]"Have you found the information I asked you for?.......What do you mean its taking longer than expected? I pay you for results and for answers not to waste my money and show me nothing......No...No that's alright, Just get back to me as soon as you find something."[/glow]
Nikki closed her phone and let out a long sigh. The search was going no where. Everything pointed to her being Nikki Kaldivo. But ever since TNB had flown her to Japan she had felt different, Felt like she was someone else. She couldn't remember anything past the Las Vegas bus stop, she wanted to know what was in her past that was being hidden from her. Another sigh escaped her lips as the elevator dinged and the doors opened, A raised eyebrow was all she could manage as the sight of a rather drunk member of the TNB roster stood in front of her.
[glow=red,2,300]"Another headache..."[/glow]

"Yup, but it'll go away in the morning."
Even drunk, Stone had an extra perceptive sense of hearing. He points to himself...
"You, you were talking to me right?"
Ah, what did he care anyways. If she were talking to him, fine. If not, well very few people did. He wasn't the most people friendly person at first. Though, he decided to try and be a bit of a gentleman a press the door back for her. He then motions for her to enter the small dangling box they called transportation. She seemed a bit hesitant since the door opened up revealing him as a passenger.
"Trust me....I don't bite." |

Letting a sigh escape her lips she entered the elevator cab with what appeared to her to be Jacob Cruise version 2.0, did she have a magnet attached to her somewhere that said please if you are a drunk talk to me? She pointed to the number pad.
[glow=red,2,300]"I'm sure you don't bite, if you did I'd make sure you had nothing to bite with....top floor please."[/glow]
Nikki made a point to stand on the far side of the elevator, no need to have this imbecile breath on her, who knows what infections he has. |

"Yes ma'am."
He reaches for the top button, goes to press it, and misses. His depth perception was off just a hair.
"Errrr."
He hoped she hadn't noticed as he tries again. This time successfully making contact with the correct button. Yay!
"You look familiar."
His eyes stay faced straight ahead locked on the elevator walls. The large mechanical device dings as they pass floor number three. |

Amusement passed across Nikki's face. An idea was formulating in her mind.
[glow=red,2,300]"I look familiar yet you refrain from looking at me? It's rude to talk to someone and not make eye contact or to walk away, I might have to start calling you Kelly Stone should you keep this up."
[/glow]
Nikki leaned her back against the wall of the cab, her eyes set on Shawn, she knew who Mr, Stone was, she took the time to familiarize herself with anyone who had wrestled a match in TNB since she had been here. You never know who you'll need to pay off or...break off. |

Stone cocked his head to the side, making eye contact with Nikki as she mentioned his cousin Kelly.
"Well, it seems you have already taken a bit of an interest in my family. I'm assuming you and Kelly aren't the....best of friends."
This conversation was a bit sobering. Damn alcohol, waste of money.
"And I don't see it being any more so rude than going out of ones way to bunch up into a ball in the corner of an elevator just to avoid some guy like he's a leper... But hey, to each there own."
Ding....Passing floor four. |

[glow=red,2,300]"When said man appears to be a leper, Cautionary actions are to be taken, Wouldn't you agree?"[/glow]
If the half wit felt the need to press her mind for insults he need not look much further, he was prime and just waiting to be taken advantage of. Perhaps he could amuse her for the time being. Nikki laughed slightly.
[glow=red,2,300]"Your...cousin Kelly, How unfortunate.[/glow]
Or how utterly fortunate, perhaps this would be perfect, a little game to amuse her while she waited for things to unfold in a much bigger plan.
[glow=red,2,300]" How close are the two of you? If you don't mind my prying."[/glow] |

"True, I guess. But the odds of a leper here and now, pretty unlikely wouldn't you say? I mean, I can vouche for myself. I am not a leper. If you trust me at all...Which you should...I mean, I did select your floor for you....Then you should take just a little tiny step out of your safety box. Or not, its whatever."
He focuses his attention back to the wall, waiting for her to make her move.
"As for Kelly, this is the first time I've seen her in years. Kind of a wierd and unexpected reunion. Shes still family, but shes not the same Kelly I used to know anymore. Ayden has made sure of that."
Ding, ding, ding. Floors five, six, and seven passed. |

Nikki took a step foward an amused grin on her face, the man was so cute trying to put himself on her level, it was almost endearing.
[glow=red,2,300]" A leaper by literal meaning perhaps, but the word leper holds so much more then just a disease. You cousin for example, I would consider her a leper, last I saw her she was drinking alone and making ramblings claiming to be a whore"[/glow]
Nikki took another step closer to him, her grin fading into a devious smirk.
[glow=red,2,300]"Are you willing to step outside your comfort box Mr. Stone? Or are you truly just another leper leeching off of TNB?"[/glow] |

Shawn felt he should defend his cousin's honor, her being family and all. But, truly he had no justification in doing so. He didn't know who she was anymore and for all he knew Nikki's words could be true as any. So, he ignored the remarks involving Kelly.
"A leech? I think you have me confused. You see, a leech takes and takes without contributing. My debut match, I contributed what will most likely do go down as match of the week to this company. I also contributed a victory...And my name alone is contributing a whole new audience to this place..."
Shawn locks eyes with Nikki once more.
"And as far as you know...maybe my comfort box has already been breeched."
Ding, passing floor eight. The next level was Shawn's guessed destination. |

Nikki frowned slightly, not quite the answer she was looking for, it seemed as though he only picked up on certain words of what she said. Nikki remained where she stood and replaced her frown with a smile.
[glow=red,2,300]"You failed to answer my question in a satisfactory way Mr. Stone. It appears we'll have to work on those manners of yours. But for the sake of this evening I'll do my best to simplify it for you.
[/glow]
Nikki stood next to him and hooker her arm around hers, as she watched their reflection in the elevator door she spoke once more to him.
[glow=red,2,300]"What do you see Mr. Stone, when you look at this reflection of us, what exactly do you see?"[/glow] |

Shawn stared intently at thier reflection. He hated to admit it, but it liked what he saw. Her question echoed over and over through his head. What exactly did he see?
"Potential."
He didn't know exactly why he said that, or even what he meant by it. Potential for what? It felt like the right thing to say though.A small smile forms on his face as he nods knowingly. He repeats his answer, this time with a bit more emotion in his tone.
"Yes, I see potential." |

Nikki pulled him a little closer to her side.
[glow=red,2,300]"What kind of potential?"[/glow]
Nikki was looking for exact answers, and having more than her fair share of fun with this mans less than sober mind. |

He continues staring at their reflection in the elevator doors. Thinking hard it seemed. His concentration is broke though as the elevator dings once more and the doors part. Their reflection being broke in the process. This was his stop.
Nonchalantly, yet as politely as possible, he breaks her grip around his arm. He takes a few steps out of the elevator then turns back to face her. Placing a hand over the door so they won't close yet.
"When you were in your corner and I in mine. I saw two forces meant to collide. Two people who were destined for greatness and stardom. Though, for both it seemed it would be a long hard road...With many bumps in the way."
Stone pauses for a moment.
"But when we came together...And our two separate reflections became one.....I saw potential...potential for much more. More greatness, more stardom...and a much easier route of attaining it for the both of us..."
Stone removes his hands and the doors slowly start to come back together.
"If that answer was satisfactory...And you agree. I will be in room Nine Twenty-three if you wish to talk more."
Just as the doors are about to come together, Stone smiles and says...
"Goodnight...." |
