~*~*~The scene opens and it is just moments after Collision went off the air and we see that we are backstage. The camera is following Cassandra who is backstage looking for Lance. She runs into Jack Manson and stops walking for a moment.~*~*~
Cassandra Ryan: Jack, have you seen Lance?
Jack Manson: I think he is in the nCw locker-room. He just stormed past me headed that way without saying a word. Not that that is new of late. He hasn’t said a word to anyone in a week.
Cassandra: Trust me, he is going to say something to me. The only person that was there for the birth of our son was his brother. I don’t know when that son of a bitch is going to realize that in this wrestling thing that he loves so much, people are always going to try and get one up on you by playing with your emotions. It has been his bane for years. I’ll talk to you later Jack.
~*~*~Cassandra goes to walk away but Jack gently grabs her arm.~*~*~
Manson: Between you and I Cassandra. Who is the father?
Cassandra: Lance is the father you jack ass. I never even slept with that sleazy son of a bitch Spike. He is doing nothing but playing with Lance’s mind. I will give Spike credit though, he did his homework. He knew exactly how Lance would react. Lance doesn’t tend to listen to anyone when he gets like this, he just recedes and goes on his own. I am about to go and fix that, I know how to set my man straight.
~*~*~Cassandra storms down the hall and stops outside of the door that has NWS plastered on it. We hear yelling coming from inside the room. She opens the door and we see Philip Burns and Lance in the room. Philip looks over at Cassandra but looks angry and he isn’t letting up. Lance is sitting on a chair and staring at the floor with no emotion whatsoever.~*~*~
SOS: Look, I don’t know what the hell is going on in that head of yours. But this is going to stop. You were useless to me out there. I may as well have been taking part in a handicap match. I don’t know if you remember, but we made No Warning Shots so that we could watch our backs. You didn’t do that tonight. I don’t care what Spike says, I don’t care if you want to go all emo, this business is about persevering. Hell Lance, I don’t even care if that slut did sleep with Spike and is having Spike’s baby.
~*~*~When Burns says the word slut, Lance looks up at him with a gleam in his eyes.~*~*~
SOS: Look, I am not kidding Lance, we have The Empire to worry about, we have Davey Ortega talking s**t, we need you be focused. I don’t care if she slept with Spike, your brother, me, hell, I don’t care if she is about to have the son of Dr. Damn Pepper. Maybe she isn’t a slut, but maybe she is, seems to me that she cheated on her fiancé with you, maybe she need to learn to keep her legs closed.
~*~*~At that Lance gets to his feet and walks over to Burns. He goes toe to toe with Burns and points to the door.~*~*~
SOS: I am not intimidated by you Lance. Someone needs to stand up to you and tell you how it is. That is what I am doing, if you don’t like it, that’s tough.
~*~*~Lance again points at the door.~*~*~
SOS: Look, I’m gone. But maybe you better learn to keep business and pleasure separated, at least in your mind. Seems that Cassandra knows all about conjoining the two, she liked getting pleasure from the people that you are in business with.
~*~*~Lance shakes with fury and shoves Burns towards the door.~*~*~
SOS: Now THAT is passion, you had better find that on Sunday or you are going to lose your title too.
~*~*~Burns turns to leave and looks directly at Cassandra.~*~*~
SOS: Do us all a favor, and tell him the truth.
Cassandra: I will, but he won’t listen, I know that already.
~*~*~Burns leaves the room and Lance looks at Cassandra for a moment and then hangs his head and shakes it back and forth. He turns around sits back in his chair and looks at the floor.~*~*~
Cassandra: Don’t you give me that look, and don’t you walk away from me. You missed the birth of your own damn child last week. I know that you believe anything that anyone says to you, but frankly this is just ridiculous. Do you realize the things that are wrong with you believing Spike? First of all, you know that I was with Doug at the time, and 9 months ago? I wasn’t even ready to have an affair with you, the man that I have been in love with for my entire life. Why the hell do you think that I would sleep with that worm even if I had known who he was.
Secondly, Lance, think about it. You were out of the business. You were done with this sport. How the heck would I have any connection to wrestling, to any company, or especially to Spike. Also, as far as Spike’s theory that I am a groupie, you know SO much better than that. I left you the first time because I didn’t want to be involved with a wrestler. Why would I go after another?
You really need to wake up and smell the coffee on this one. Spike is simply trying to get into your head.
~*~*~Lance looks up to her with a bit of a pleading face. He still doesn’t say a word, but looks like he is asking questions without words.~*~*~
Cassandra: He is beautiful, he looks a lot like you, you can tell already. He is with your brother right now. I don’t know if I will ever forgive you for not being there. But I do still love you, and I want you to believe me. I think that that hurts me even more than the fact that you weren’t there. You have chosen to believe a man that you are at war with over me. You believe that this child, that I told you was yours, is not. You chose to believe that because Spike said so, and that tears me apart. How can you sit there and look at me, and have child with me, and say that you love me, when you don’t believe a word that I say. I expect you to do some soul searching, and really find out if you do love me, because I will not raise a child with you if your love and your heart are not in it. No child deserves that. In the meantime, I have gone to the liberty to have testing done so that you can have no doubts in your mind. The paternity test will be done in two days, and I want you to come with me to the doctor’s office to hear the results. Do you understand?
~*~*~Lance looks up and slowly nods his head just a little bit. He looks pained by everything that Cassandra has said.~*~*~
Cassandra: Well, I can see by the look on your face that you have understood, and that you realize that you have a lot to think about. Lance, you have 6 days left until your match with Spike, and there are two things that I want you to know. First, you need be of sound mind, and you need passion. This match will be a war, and Spike is a worthy opponent. I know that you can beat him, but you need to snap out of this.
Secondly, if you get your head on about you and I, and if you mean it, then I will love you forever, win or lose. That title is important, but our life together is so much more. Now please…I am begging you…get your head on Lance. I will be back at home with our son. Take two days in a hotel, and think this all over. I will see you at the doctor’s office.
~*~*~Cassandra looks once more at Lance and walks out of the room leaving him alone with his thoughts. Lance slowly rises to his feet and paces back and forth for a moment in the room. He lifts his head slowly from staring at the floor and stops pacing. He takes two quick steps towards the locker in front of him and punches it so hard that it falls off of its hinges. The scene fades out as we hear Lance scream…~*~*~
Lance: SPIKE KANEEEEEEEEEEEE
