Passing Through (o2a)

[Brandon]

Shortly before bell time. Genesis was shown "chillaxin" at the catering area. Sitting at a table. Eating a Southwest Salad, Yogurt and a Bottled Water to wash it all down. As he sat there minding his own business. Eating away. Someone walks by him and asks...

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

"Damn, kinda weird that we are meeting up again huh? I mean I guess it kinda isn't 'cause we do work for the same company. Just a little different 'cause we just met at that bar in Cali and now we're here. What's going on man?"

~The man speaking happened to be Dont'e Brooks-Lee. He is here tonight scoping out the competition. His debut would be coming soon. It's kind of a late debut for a wrestler in a business, but you know what they say, "better late than never."~[/center]

[Brandon]

Genesis looked up at him. With a smile on his face. He replied:

Genesis: ¨Surviving day by day. Doing my best to keep from going insane. I do find it funny that we keep bumping into each other like this. Your not some type of crazed stalker, are you?¨

[/color]

Gen. said in a half joking, half serious manner.[/center]

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

"Nah, not at all. Sometimes things just happen like that. Why would I wanna stalk you anyways. I got better things to do with my life than to do that."

~Dont'e laughs for a moment. Dont'e kept his cool in this situation. He has had a history of getting angry over little things that people said to him. He has even gotten in trouble for it a few times. He reaches into the nearby fridge in the catering area and pulls out a bottle of water. He twists the cap and pulls it off the top. He lifts the bottle to his lips and with a quick tilt of the head back, he takes a sip of water. Refreshing it was indeed. He moves the bottle away from his lips and twists the cap back on.~

"Big night you got here tonight huh? Two matches? Sounds like work to me man. Probably a stupid question, but, you ready for them?"

[Brandon]

Genesis: "I don't know, you tell me. What 'better things' do you have to do with your spare time?"

[/color]

Gen. looked on at Dont'e with a dead serious expression on his face. You could feel the tension beginning to rise between the two men. When suddenly...

Genesis: "...I'm just fucking with ya kid. God damn boy. You take shit too seriously. Here, have a seat young buck."[/color]

Gen. motions for Dont'e to take a seat across the table from him.

Genesis: "To answer your other questions. Yes, captain obvious. I have two matches. Gotta work your ass off to get places son. Can't expect opportunities to come to you freely. If you want to make things happen around here. You have to make them happen for you. Ya know?

As for your 'stupid question'. Yes... of course I'm ready for them. If I wasn't. I would've backed off from the fights. Its not my first rodeo son. I plan to not only shoot for the top once again. But I'm also going to outwork. outshine. and outclass everybody on this roster. Yourself included, so be sure to take some notes and watch how its done later on tonight.

Speaking of debuts. Why are you holding out? You do know you can't advance in the company unless you wrestle, right? *chuckles*[/color]

Gen. takes a bite of his salad. As he awaits a response.[/center]

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

"Don't be so sure of outworking me man. I know for sure that ain't gonna be the case. Obviously both of us will disagree in this area so we're just gonna have to see what happens."

~Outworked? Ha. Just going to have to wait and see. Dont'e removes the cap from his bottle of water and takes another sip. Instead of putting the cap back on the bottle of water, he places the cap down on the table and leaves the bottle open. No use in closing it if he is going to continue taking sips from.~

"I ain't holding out man. I'm gonna be debuting next week. I had to get the contract signed and everything first. Now everything is all set and I'm ready to get down to business. I would have been competing tonight but I signed my contact a little too late to get a spot on tonight's show. I'm sure you can wait another week to see me in action."

~Dont'e chuckles before having another sip of water.~

[Brandon]

Genesis:"Hmm... interesting."

Genesis takes a drink of his water. Then sets it down. Shaking his head, as he replied.

Genesis: "Guess we'll have to see about that next week, won't we? Better hope my schedule doesn't clear up. After-all, I got Minion on my plate this week. Along with that jabroni Craig Helman. I know for a fact that once I beat em' both down. They'll both come crying and whining next week for rematches.

So... depending on how all that pans out. If I have an opening for ya. Your more then welcome to walk down that aisle and become Victim #3.

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

"If you were to be free next week, I'm be glad to take you on in the ring Genesis. I think that would be a great way to debut in the I:W. Even if it doesn't work out like that I'm sure that we'll have ourselves a match somewhere down the line. You'll learn one thing 'bout me and it's that I don't back down from challenges."

~The thought of going up against Genesis fills the head of Dont'e. How awesome would that be? If it happens, cool. If it doesn't, it's not the end of the world. Dont'e picks up the bottle of water and takes a couple more sips before placing it back down on the table.~

"You know what, why don't we make it official. If you don't have a rematch against any of the other two, then we'll have a match. What do you say man?"

[Brandon]

Genesis: "Well...

[/color]

Gen. chugs the last bit of his water. Then 'shooting' his bottle into the garbage can nearby for 3 pts. As he replied.

Genesis: "I say your on. Nothing comes up? I'll gladly fight you. I love me some new challengers. I think you'd be perfect to add to my "wall".[/color][/center]

[Dont'e Brooks-Lee]

"Your wall? Ha."

~Dont'e chuckles for a moment. He thought it was quite funny that Genesis mentioned that. He picks up his bottle of water and takes another sip. He then proceeds to stand up from his seat at the table. He twists the cap back on to the bottle of water.~

"We'll just have to see 'bout that."

~Dont'e turns and begins walking in the opposite direction. There is a sense of tension between the two. It's all in good competition. Both are competitors and will do anything to win. He turns the corner and begins walking that hall. He has a front row seat to the show and it's time for him to get there before the start of the show.~

[Brandon]

Genesis too, left the area. Going in the opposite direction that Brooks-Lee was heading to. Throwing his garbage away. He made a B-Line towards the locker room area to further prepare for tonight's event. As he does so. Gen. talked to himself.

Genesis: "This kid has no idea what he's in for. Next week, I'll give him a better indication of just who he's up against. Get ready for Act II folks.
