Fallout: Monday Night Sacrifice 10/12/15
Roberto Verona is sat in the trainer's room backstage being attended to by IWF Head Physician Dr Nicole Kingsley. She is assessing his ribs carefully as Jake Conway looks uneasy. Roberto Verona winces slightly at Nicole's touch around the obviously tender area, but as he looks up at his friend, Jake's expression concerns Verona more.
Roberto: I know you want to say something, so just say it...
Jake clenches his fist, visibly agitated that Renee Verona had made a fool of him by baiting him into an obvious set up.
Jake: I...I should have seen something like this coming. That bastard knew exactly what he was doing, he knew exactly...where to get me...
Roberto: Of course he did, I may not agree with Renee's personal morality or lack there of, but I've dealt with him long enough now to know how smart he is...
Jake shakes his head slowly.
Jake: No...no, you haven't dealt with him...and that's the problem, isn't it? Deep down Renee Pleasant is just as misguided as the rest of them - the morons on the roster who think carrying around ten pounds of gold and four pounds of leather makes them invincible...but it doesn't. It really doesn't...
Roberto is about to respond when Kathleen Conway enters the room, carrying with her a police baton. Roberto instantly notes the weapon in Kathy's hand, Jake smiles at his wife, thankful that she had enough wherewithal to defend herself against Renee Pleasant if he tried anything towards her. She stands next to him.
Jake: Where's Renee now?
Kathy: I don't know but if he comes near me, I'm going to plant this right between his legs...
Roberto smirks.
Roberto: I think I finally understand why you married her, Jake...
Kathy turns to Nicole.
Kathy: How is he?
Nicole looks up.
Nicole: All things considered...lucky, very lucky...
Voice: Thank God for that...
All present turn to see Hannah Reed stood in the doorway, she rushes over to Roberto's side.
Roberto: Yes, yes, I'm fine, you all need to stop worrying. I said I would deal with Renee myself and I will...
Jake: Oh please, let me. It would be a pleasure.
Roberto shakes his head.
Roberto: No, Jake, no. I can't let you, not where your head is right now. Renee is my Imperial Champion. He is my problem. This is my company, and my responsibility...
Jake: Honestly, it's no trouble, just say the word and I'll teach that bastard a lesson for even thinking he can come anywhere near my family without facing the consequences....
Roberto: I said no. You'll make it too personal and that's what he wants, he wants to bait you into a fight on his terms. Look at what he did to Jacobsen at Extreme Endurance. I know how he operates. No, Jake, you're better off taking Kathy home and taking a few weeks off. the both of you, whilst I deal with Mr Pleasant myself...I insist.
Hannah: Are you sure about that?
Roberto nods and grasps Hannah's hand.
Roberto: Yes. Yes, I am. Don't worry, it's time to remind some of my employees who is still the boss around here...
