Figure: "What in the name of heck are you doing here Phalon? And why are you wearing that t-shirt?"
(The figure steps down and walks past the 5' 6" reporter, brushing against him lightly.He wears a long leather jacket, newly bought, and a pair of black jeans. He also wears a slightly creased maroon shirt under the jacket. Nick turns around to try and work out who it is. Then it hit's him as he realises who the British accent belongs to)
Nick: "Well I work for ULW now Nathan, and you were the last person I expected to see on the roof"
(Nathan Creed turns around and smiles at Nick. He walks over to a carefully placed rucksack and opes it up, pulling out a large bottle of mineral water. Nathan unscrews the cap and takes a swig)
Nathan: "Let me guess you were expecting Killjoy? Hey everybody needs some time to themselves, and I decided to sit up here for a bit, taking in the view of the place. Seeing as your part of the staff now I guess you want an interview?"
Nick: "If your offering I guess I could..."
Nathan: "Phalon! Sounds like you grew some balls. Congratulations. Now I assume you are up to speed with most things going on in ULW, like my upcoming match this week?"
(Nick flicks through his notepad, as Nathan smiles. Nick gets to the appropriate page and looks at Nathan)
Nick: "I am now. I guess my first question would have to be, how do you feel things are going for you in ULW so far?"
Nathan: "Well I guess the answer to that is simple enough. So far they are going great. I am one step closer to realising a dream of mine, and becoming the European Champion. As you well know I have a match scheduledthis week against the guy I pinned, and the current Internation Champion. Which would be The Hunter and Sean Johnson respectively. This match also see's the third participant in that European Tournament match, Phantom, as my partner. So to say that thingsin this match are a little mixed up is an understatment"
Nick: "And what of Phantom? I mean the queston on most people's lips is can you really trust him?"
Nathan: "You know peple always wonder that sort of question in matches like this, and the same answer always springs forth. No,Ii can't trust him. However, I tend to differ from the norm occasionaly, so I would say that I can trust him, but only to an extent. I can trust him to get the win, and watch my back while doing so, but after the match is over, and that final bell rings, then all bets are off. If he decided to try to beat the hell out of me then that is his desicion. I just hope he doesn't expect me to take it laying down"
Nick: "What about Sean Johnson? He has had some interesting words for both you and Phantom. He seemed to regard you as a below average wrestler"
(Nathan takes a eat on the gravelled roof, usin his coat as a cushion, not caring about its newness or cost. Nick does likewise on a small step)
Nathan: "If Sean wants to mke believe tht I am below average and not to his standards then so be it, but he has already realised something tht was obvious to myself and Phantom before this match had really got underway. Hunter is the weak link.Sean knows it, and even said so. What Sean doesn't realise is that I am not your average wrestler, but i'm sure he has heard that a million times already. I'm not going to go off on an 'I'm better thn you' routine because frankly that gets boring real quick. I would probably say that both me and Sean are evenly matched. I may sound really cocky when I say that, but hey. Isn't that what part of this business is about? Believing in your own abilities?"
Nick: "I would guess so Nathn, but what about that weak link? What about Hunter? He brushed off your past with Derek Steel as a simple chair shot. I mean I full well know the intense hatred you shared. After all I interviewed you both several times, but Hunter dismissed it. What does that mean to you?"
(Nathan glares at Nick, before looking down at the floor. His face seems to contort up into a rage, as does his voice)
Nathan: "It makes me realise how IGNORANT he really is.He DISMISSES a two month torture of mind, body and soul as a mere fist fight. Does he realise tht we fought in one of the most brutal street fights ever, followed by one of the most brutal Last Man Standing matches in UCWF history, and finally we settled it with the extreme dumpster match at the final UCWF PPV? Does he want to know about all the times we battered each other physically? And Hunter can make all the gay jokes he wants, it will only add fuel to the fire"
Nivk: "Do you honestly believe he would sink to that sort of level?"
Nathan: "I sincerely hope not, but I wouldn't put it past him. He is the sort of guy to do that. In a way I hope he does. It will just give me a good reason to beat the hell out of him and try to corredt his memory. You heard him tlk about his misconception of our match right?"
(Nivk scratches behind his ear with his pen, slightly ruffling his mid length brown hair, trying to remember the statment)
Nick: "Something about you and Phantom setting up te end to that match?"
Nathan: "Exactly. If he can't remember a simple thing like how I beat him then he needs some form of medication. The thing I really don't get, and sorry if I am repeating myself here, but why did he brush of Derek Steel as a mere chair shot? I have taken chair shots plantly of times, and this battle certainly didn't attribute to no damn chair shot"
(Nathan places a hand to hi head a thinks about it for a fewseconds. A thought occurs to him, followed by a grin)
Nathan: "It's funny really. How he compaed himself to Derek.I mean he is nothing like Derek. Derek was a uncaring beast of a man, Hunter is merely a beast of a man. He has foun himself some tarted up bint to call his girlfriend...I mean manager, and he likes to think he is gods gift to women. I ain't claiming to be the best looking guy in the world, but for him and her to stand there and mok me and Krissie is not only unacceptable but it is plain wrong"
Nick: "You mean bringing your personal life into it all. I would have to agree with you. It isn't somethng anybody in the business should really do"
Nathan: "When he pokes fun at me that is fine. I can take tht on the chin and take my revenge when I see him in the ring, but when he starts to insult my family and friends then he crosses the line. That is where he deserves everything coming to me. He doesn't realise that Derek planted a vicious being within me, and from time to time it likes to rear its ugly head. So Huntercan consider this a warning if he wishes, or a threat if he prefers. However I will promise him that I will get in his way, just for him to try and stop me. He can hit me with a chair, he can throw me through a table, he can do whatever he likes, but the fact remains that he insulted my girlfriend and I ain't gonna stand around and do nothing"
Nick: "Nathan what about..."
(A mobile phone starts to ring. Nick looks at Nathan. Nathan smiles and nods towards Nick, who sighs in stupidity. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a phone)
Nick: "Hello?...Oh hi!...Yeah...Yeah...Ok I guess...Yeah i'll be right there...Just gotta say goodbye to someone...Ok....Talk to you later"
(Nick hangs up and puts the phone back in his pocket.He closes the notepad and puts it into one of his back pockets. He stands up and looks down at Nathan, still sitting on the floor)
Nick: "Nathan I gotta go. They need me to interview someone downtown. I will catch up with you later if that's ok with you?"
Nathan: "I guess so Phalon. I will see you around"
(Nick opens the hatch and starts to climb down. Before disapearing from view he looks up at Nathan)
Nick: "Good luck Nathan"
Nathan: "Thanks Nick, but I won't need the luck. Hunter will. He will be recieving a Courtesy Call, and rest assured it won't be a pleasent one"
(Nick climbs down out of view as Nathan gets to his feet and walks towards the ledge again. The sun dips down lower and the sky turns a darker shade of red as the scene finally fades)
