Color Key:
Brad Kane = Red
Megan Kane = Blue
Yet to be named mother in law = Green
The airport, is there such a place like it? The place where relationships are saved in often times clichéd movie scenes where the hero finally gets his girl, the place where the family gets back from the world's worst vacation where everything and anything went wrong. It's the very place where loved ones come back from business and see their loving families, holding "Welcome Home" signs, crying their eyes out because they're so in love, they simply can't stand to be apart for more then five minutes. They hold their signs while they're kids are standing around or in the stroller in the baby's case.
That's exactly what we come upon seeing here tonight as Brad Kane is stepping through the gate, holding his carry on bag as he looks tired from his flight. His black hat and his hood up disguises his face as he looks around, wondering why his wife and daughter are. Not too soon thereafter, Megan (his wife) and Lilly (his daughter) appear as Megan has a huge smile on her face while the tears flow down. Brad starts to smile himself as he sees his family for the first time in a couple of days. Not exactly the greatest time for a business trip due to a pregnant wife and infant at home while he's off busy talking deals with people. Sponsorships are the main thing he's looking into, that and he still wrestles in other promotions.
Wrestling is the life he chose though and he probably wouldn't want it any other way, except for right now. Megan is getting so close to that stage where nearly anything could happen to her that it's straining on the both of them. It's probably why Brad looks so tired right now, thinking, loving and wanting to be with his wife instead of wrestling in Europe and splitting time in the states with those business meetings. Megan pushes Lilly, who is securely fastened in her stroller for those safety geeks wondering, as fast as she possibly can while being all pregnant and pushing a baby, so not really all that fast. Brad meets her half way as she lets the stroller go before taking a couple of steps to the side as the husband and wife hug and kiss. A few passerby’s are watching them nearly begin to make out in the middle of the airport. They let go of each other as Brad looks at Lilly, who is sleeping.
Sometimes I wonder if she's ever awake.
Oh she's awake quite a bit; you just haven't been around to hear her cry.
Although I wish I was. I hate all this traveling out of the country stuff. I wish we could just win the lotto and I wouldn't have to wrestle again. Anything would be better then having to be away from you.
You don't need to go that far. While I agree that having you away for a few days at a time is hard, you need to keep wrestling. It's how you provide for us and you do it so well.
I still feel as if I'm doing the wrong thing here. I just hate leaving you while you're in this kind of condition.
Well... uh, I'm kind of having someone stay with me while you're gone and you probably won't be that wild about it...
A look of horror comes across the face of Brad. It can't be, it couldn't be but is it?
Don't you dare tell me...
Megan looks towards the side as Brad slaps his forehead.
I'm sorry but she's available to help us right now. It beats having me stay home alone for days at a time in case something would happen.
But Satan would be a better option then your mother!
The dreaded mother in law, the four hated words that every husband hates to hear. As much as he hates it though, Megan does have a point although he'd never admit it. They start to walk towards the baggage spin as they keep conversing.
Oh you just say that.
I swear that at one point, she wanted to stab in the face with a soddering iron. It was scary.
You're actually telling me that in all your life, what you've gone through, what you've seen, you're actually scared of my mom?
...Yes.
Why? She's harmless Brad. The only reason she acts like that towards you is she thinks you got me pregnant out of wedlock with Lilly. I then explained to her how Lilly came about. She calmed down a little bit afterwards so she might as more civil towards you.
We'll see. I'm still a bit leery over the whole thing. I just simply can't believe she'd drop her mood like that towards me.
Like I just told you, she's harmless. Now get over it.
Yes ma'am!
Brad salutes Megan as he lifts his hand off of Lilly's stroller to do so. Megan playfully slaps him on the back of the head as he acts like it was almost certain death. After a quick laugh, they reach the baggage spin. Brad sees his suitcase and grabs it off as Megan begins to push Lilly again. They walk through the rest of the airport silent as they observe the numerous people they walk past as those folks do the same thing. They head through the exit finally as they hail a cab...
The apartment door opens as a sigh of relief is heard from Brad. He sets his suitcase down near the door as Megan follows in behind him. The apartment is completely spotless as there is a certain sparkle to everything. The first thing Brad heads towards is his couch as he grabs the TV remote, which is right next to him. Megan pushes Lilly towards the couch now as she takes a seat herself. The couple begins to watch TV until...
It's about time you kids got home!
They turn around as it's Megan's mother, who looks short and a bit stocky. Grey hair dominates her head as her face looks worn.
Where in the hell were you three? I had dinner on the table and everything. It's all wasted now. I threw it in the trash. Thanks for nothing you selfish bastard.
Whoa, why are you singling me out you old battleaxe?! I didn't do a damn thing wrong and you know it. Maybe I wanted to take my wife and my daughter out for a meal when I got back. Ever think of that?
Shut up! I won't hesitate to slap you in the face.
Oh yeah? You couldn't slap the piss out of a fly, ****in' old bitch.
They keep on arguing as Megan stands up and inhales.
SHUT UP!
Brad and Megan's mom do indeed shut up as Megan looks a little furious, with rage. Lilly wakes up from the shouting as she starts to cry, which in turn, manages to upset Megan that much more with the current hormonal state she's in. Brad gets up himself as he tries to inaudibly talk to Megan but she only pushes him away. He looks upset now himself as Megan's mom shakes her head and walks away. Thinking quickly, Brad grabs Lilly up out of the stroller as he now begins to pace around the room, trying to at least calm down one of the two crying women.
You know Lilly, I can't wait for your sister to be born. Well, your half sister anyways but we probably won't drop that bombshell until you're at least in your mid twenties so won't sleep around with every guy in your high school. Sometimes I fear what will happen when you and Sarah will grow up. Always pictured myself to be like those sitcom dads that would freak out at the sign of a boyfriend or when you'd ask to get your belly button pierced. I've already tried to tell myself that I won't try to hold you back from living your life. From what I've learned is that I simply can't stop you from being who you were meant to be. Like your step mom was meant be my wife after two failed relationships. We're all meant for something in this world Lilly. Although I have no idea why I'm telling this to you as you won't remember a single word of it.
He laughs towards himself as Lilly has stopped crying. Hearing the voice of her dad was enough to calm her down. Brad keeps walking around the room as he looks over at Megan, who seemed to overhear what he told Lilly. Megan looks at Brad, caring for his own as she smiles. However, everything is brought to a halt when...
WHERE ARE MY CIGARETTES?!
Brad and Megan look at each other, exchanging an "Oh crap..." mentally. Brad hands Lilly off to Megan as he leaves the apartment.
It's dark outside in Boston although everything is illuminated by the street lights or the head lights from the cars on the streets. Horns are heard honking wildly as Brad is walking down the street, looking for the nearest store to buy his loud mouth mother in law a pack of smokes. His hat is on and hood is up as he tries to keep a low profile. No one likes to get bothered by the marks while they're out in the real world. Somehow he has his camera in his hand as he shoots his face while he walks. So talented.
Less then, oh say three hours after I make my first appearance on nCw TV following the beat down I suffered a few weeks ago, I was quickly assigned into a match for Picture Perfect. Now when I said I'd want to take on the world, I didn't think they'd take that claim so seriously but it's been made official and there isn't a thing I could do about it nor do I. These past few weeks while I heal up from my "injury", I've kept my eye on what's been going on here in nCw. All the current things happening are quite insane. More stables being formed then what a federation could possibly need. Lance Ryan going through a very hard time in his life and I wish him the best in the main event.
Well wishes aside though, New Championship Wrestling might have made quite a crazy decision regarding the opener for Picture Perfect. It's certainly nothing I would have expected but that's the business. You get put into certain situations that you have to deal with no matter how much you might not want to. Half of wrestling is putting up with things that you might hate. The other half is spent keeping your ears open in case someone talks smack behind your back up that's just the way this business works. People say things, stupid things, mean things, funny things or whatever other things. Some people make their living off of saying those stupid things.
Such is the case with one AJ Phoenix. Two years I've known this man and for two years, I've been continually amazed with some of the words he chooses to use. Most of them come at the worst time as he starts to try to cut into someone verbally, trying to intimidate them into a loss before the match even begins. However, more often then not, I can only stand and shake my head while listening to his tirades about this guy, that guy or about how great he himself is. For a simple example, take the phrase "Worthless Jack." Perhaps to a six year old, it might come off as a clever saying. Might even get a belly laugh from the kid watching wrestling behind his parent's back.
The truth of the fact is by using those two words, two words I haven't thought about in more then a year, he made himself look foolish by making such a stupid play off a moniker I use. Although at least his somewhat realizes it was simple, clever though? Hardly the case.
Brad shakes his head as he looks up to see where he's going.
Reputation's are something that hardly come lightly. Once you get a certain reputation, you're nearly stuck with it the rest of your career. You see, AJ, you never destroyed my reputation, you only halted my momentum a little bit. But hey, it couldn't have been that much seeing as how I climbed to the top of the mountain before you in a certain defunct federation. The difference between you and I though AJ is that you're one of the few that sees me as an asshole. While I have my moments, I'm hardly the asshole you think I am. You're simply using bias towards your own hate against me, regardless if you care to admit that certain fact or not.
Words will always be exchanged between us AJ. I know for a fact we'll never sit down and enjoy a burger together after the show, it's a common fact of life some people just aren't meant to like each other. We happen to fall into that case. I could go on and on about the stuff we've attempted to pull on each other but I don't think I have that much battery in this camera. The fact remains though, AJ and I are just too different to ever see eye to eye.
However, when you talk about my personal life, you open up a whole new can of worms. You see, I'm not exactly a pure straight edge, more like reformed as I've been through rehab. It was tough but the decision was mine to stop drinking, clean myself up and not take anything that will alter my mind even if it means refusing to take medication for my depression. However, I'm not "better then anyone" as you put it. Well, I'm better then some put there are probably a hundred people I've never heard of that would school me in the ring despite how good I am compared to some others. Lance Ryan is better then I am, he's proved it. Steve Awesome is better then me on occasion because he's proved it. Even Sexy Jason proved to be better then me.
Straight edge is not my "angle", it's not my hook. It's just a personal life choice that I see no reason to mention outside of this particular moment. So I guess making a positive life choice is a negative thing these days, according to your logic anyways. But I'm not too worried about what you think. I mean, you did have sex in a promo once.
He chuckles to himself as a bright neon sign is seen. It's one of a store. Brad sees a bench though as he goes over and takes a seat.
Still, you'd think I'd be happy to step back into the ring with you though AJ but to be honest, I'm not. I feel like that nCw knows about our past and they want us to tear into each other. Nothing against Sexy Jason but it's simply a case of wrong place, wrong time. With the words AJ Phoenix has chosen to use against me, I wish I could involve you a little bit more right now but Jason, I respect you and all but I just can't make myself think about you too much right now. Maybe down the line but for now, this is all about AJ. This is all about me shutting AJ Phoenix's mouth shut.
I wish I had the time to sit here and go on and on about you AJ but I do have a life. I have a family to provide for. I have people to think of, people that love me and if my own brother isn't capable of doing that, that's his choice and I respect Spike for it. He does what he has to do and I do what I have to do. I'm no hero, far from it. I'm just Brad Kane, professional wrestling, husband, father, brother and friend. What are you AJ? That's all I gotta ask you AJ, what are you to people?
He shuts the camera off.
