(Having a phone conversation)
Donnovan Midas
Ok so I am supposed to believe that?
Monique
You know Donnovan it�s really none of my concern what you believe!
Donnovan Midas
Who in there right mind fly�s half way around the world to be at a show then up and out of no where fly�s back to go to another show that she was not needed for�
Monique
I told you that Greg asked me to be at XL�s premiere and I didn�t want to disappoint so I made the trip, and as a matter of fact I am supposed to be leaving for the airport right now so I have to let you go�
Donnovan Midas
Bullshit! You have time to talk I called and your flight doesn�t leave for another four hours�
Monique
Oh so now you are checking up on me, I see how it is. I wonder if your wife would like to hear that, actually why don�t we give her a call. I know how much you love talking to her and ignoring me�
Donnovan Midas
What is that suppose to mean?
Monique
You figure it out, and yes my plane doesn�t leave for another four hours, I just have things to do�
Donnovan Midas
Things or people?
Monique
Very funny I bet I would have a lot more fun then!
Donnovan Midas
Yeah, actually, why don�t you go and give Patrick and Grendel a call I am sure that they would love be with you, or wait maybe they have already been around the world with Monique and are looking at other options. I saw that bullshit segment of Straight Talk it�s funny how one minute you are kissing my ass then the next minute you are all over TV laughing it up with these guys�
Monique
Very mature Donnovan why don�t you just say the word I know what you want to call me, but the truth is that you are the one cheating on his wife I have no ties to anyone and that includes you!
Donnovan Midas
Ok I see how it is, well if that is the way you want to play it then two can play at that game�
Monique
You�re the one making it this way so don�t come at me with this whole broken heart feel sorry for me bullshit�
Donnovan Midas
Don�t worry about my feelings and, as a matter of fact, don�t worry about me anymore� @#$% Grendel � @#$% Patrick and especially @#$% you�
Donnovan throws his cell phone into the wall and begins to pace back and forth in the room�
(Fire Alarm goes off in hotel)
Donnovan Midas
What the hell?!?
He quickly opens his door and begins to make his way down the hall to the stairs, walking down the stairway to the lobby� Once arriving he is met by the hotel manager�
Hotel Manager (Speaking to everyone)
I am sorry ladies and gentlemen but it appears to be a false alarm that someone pushed on one of the floors our cameras have picked up no fire and it is safe for you all to head back to your rooms. Please feel free to use the elevators�
Donnovan is frustrated and does not feel like waiting for the elevator to become free so he begins to make his way back to his room via the stairs� Once on his floor he heads toward his room, once arriving he enters and shuts the door behind him as takes a seat a voice can be heard in the room�
ACE
That old fire alarm trick never fails to get people like you out of their room, and oddly enough nobody closes their door when the threat of fire is involved. Which is weird because I would be the first man to shut the door and protect all of my stuff from the fire. (Laughs)You remember that one time in Texas when you were sleeping and I hit the fire alarm? Then when you ran out I snuck in and put that shaving cream on your pillow� See, not much has changed since then. You still leave your room and leave the door open�
Donnovan looks at ACE calmly
Donnovan Midas
What the hell are you doing in Japan!?!
ACE
Well it is funny that you would ask something like that, it appears that I heard from a little bird that you are having an affair with Monique and I just had to come over and confirm it for myself�
Donnovan Midas
Well it was a waste of a trip ACE you could have just picked up the phone and called. There is nothing going on between Monique and I�
ACE
See I knew I should have just called, man I feel really stupid right now�
Donnovan Midas
Yeah well you are�
ACE
Fair enough Don I can understand your hostility towards me I mean the last time you placed your eyes on this beautiful face it was when I smashed that chair over your head�
Donnovan Midas
Just for the record you still got a lot coming to you for that one�
ACE
Yeah I would assume so. Well Donnovan I think I am your wasting your time here and as much as I know you want to catch up with me I am going to leave now�
Donnovan Midas
Good, get the hell out�
ACE puts his hand on the door knob but stops and turns back around�
ACE
You know what I forgot something on your coffee table right here do you mind handing it to me?�
Donnovan grabs the envelope but never takes his eyes off of ACE�
Donnovan Midas
What�s in here?
ACE
Nothing much just some papers I have to sign no big deal�
Donnovan Midas
Well if it is no big deal then you won�t mind me taking a look inside?
ACE
Since when could I say no to you Don, knock your socks off�
Donnovan reaches in and pulls out a hand full of photos�
ACE
See bro, no matter what people think they just don�t understand that I know you better then anyone else in the world. They say curiosity killed the cat and you are just one big cat that should have been dead a long time ago� In today�s society Donnovan you have to live off of tangible facts because without them you are simply throwing stuff out there and taking a chance on it biting you in the ass if it comes down to you having to put up or shut up and not being able to show the proof. See with the situation with Kelly there was a need to lie and get your wife on your case so that you wouldn�t pay attention to the betrayal that was right in front of you. But with the Monique situation let�s just call it perfect timing�
Donnovan is staring at pictures of him and Monique having a romantic dinner and exchanging kisses�
Donnovan Midas
Well congratulations ACE you finally got what you wanted and are in a position to bury me once and for all. So exactly why did you come to me with these pictures, why haven�t you given them to Debra already?
ACE
Donnovan you really underestimate my ambition, I would love to just get rid of you once and for all and finally prove to the world that I am the true athlete in our family�
Donnovan Midas
Oh yeah speaking of that great job in the Fed Cup I see you placed second behind Eno� Great job in living up to your word and doing something that I couldn�t do�
ACE
That�s very funny Donnovan about as funny as Monique having dinner with Grendel after Straight Talk� Oh wait didn�t anybody tell you that, now back to what I was saying before I got interrupted I would love to prove my superiority over you but that is not my goal at this point in time. My goal is the dominance of the ALLIANCE and it would seem that you are in perfect position to help us secure are place in WpW history�
Donnovan Midas
Save it for someone else ACE there isn�t anything in this world that I would do to benefit the ALLIANCE, you can just go off and give those pictures to Debra and get the hell out of my face�
(ACE smiles)
ACE
Ok I see what�s going on. I am going to tell you no problem and then turn around and go to walk out the door and then you are going to realize that I am serious and stop me from leaving with some stupid comment then bait me back into making that very same offer that you are so quick to refuse� So let�s just stop wasting each others time and why don�t you just agree and save us all a lot of trouble�
Donnovan Midas
You think you know me so well right ACE�
ACE
I know you well enough to know that Steve Stansky�s death didn�t change you enough to keep you from resorting to your old ways at the drop of a hat when Phil pissed you off enough. I know for a fact that you are still all about self preservation� So are you ready to listen yet?
Donnovan Midas
What?!?
ACE
The pictures you hold in your hands right now are what I like to call leverage, something that I am going to hold above you until you do what I want you to do. If you don�t comply 100 percent then I will simply post them on every wrestling website I can find and eventually they will fall into the hands of Debra who will divorce you and ruin your perfect family.
Donnovan Midas
Yeah I got that part! What do you want me to do?
ACE
It is simple, at WpW�s Goldpush you are scheduled to face Grendel now in order to keep these photos under wraps you are going to need to insure that Grendel advances in the tournament to face the Phil�
(Donnovan has a look of shock on his face)
Donnovan Midas
You want me to job to Grendel?
ACE
No I want you to keep your family intact and the only way to do that is to lose to Grendel�
Donnovan Midas
Why what do you all care if Grendel makes it to the second round?
ACE
Ultimately the ALLIANCE wants to insure that there pick for World Champion advances in the tournament and it is important that you lose to Grendel to insure that this happens.
Donnovan Midas
So it is all true isn�t it, I never would have thought that you all would be this low�
ACE
Well you thought wrong Donny baby�
Donnovan quickly stands up in a rage and runs towards ACE grabbing him by his shirt and slamming him against the wall. ACE begins to grin but never brings his hands up to defend himself
Donnovan Midas
Don�t you f�n talk to me like you know anything about me don�t you talk to me period. I trusted you, I loved you, we are brothers, we are family� BLOOD you weren�t suppose to turn your back on me�
ACE
(Sarcastically)Aren�t you just having a bad week! Now get your hands off of me before I make you take your hands off of me�
(Donnovan releases ACE who fix�s his shirt)
ACE
(Shouting) What you wana talk about blood! You talk about family! Who was the #@#$%^% who left home and left me all alone? Who was the @#$%^ who always held me back? You Donnovan YOU!
Donnovan Midas
What the hell are you talking about I never held you back�
ACE
Yeah I know what you did in the PWF and I know what you said to the GM to keep me from being signed� The Legend didn�t want his younger brother cramping his style so now I am the name and I am the one running the show�
(Donnovan interrupts)
Donnovan Midas
I am not going to lose to Grendel!!!
(ACE walks up to Donnovan and grabs his chin holding it while he screams at him)
ACE
OH YOU WILL LOSE IT DONNOVAN!!! You will lose it because if you don�t you will lose a lot more when your wife gets a hold of these pictures and leaves you then you can explain to your kids how their father chose his career over staying with mommy and raising them�
(Donnovan pulls his face away)
Donnovan Midas
Why Grendel? Why did you have to take away the one person I had left in this federation that was still �
ACE
Still what Donnovan? Being nice to you� Grendel is better then you ever will be and when we show the world the third member of the ALLIANCE who will soon be holding WpW Gold around his waist, the WpW will bend and fall into line knowing that the ALLIANCE has the power and no one can stop us�
Donnovan Midas
It is not as easy as you think ACE, yeah you might have everything planned on my end by blackmailing me to throw a match, but you don�t have anything on PDJ and if history serves me correctly Grendel was on the receiving end of a cloud nine at Heatwave and couldn�t hold on to his Title when he was faced against PDJ� So what do you think the odds are that Grendel will beat PDJ this time around?
ACE
See that is the beauty of you Don, you hear what you wanna hear. Grendel will be facing the Phil in the next round not PDJ�
Donnovan Midas
Yeah the PHIL beat PDJ good luck on that one the PHIL can barely beat his own meat let alone PDJ�
ACE
Don�t worry about that we have that taken care of already you just worry about making sure OUR boy Grendel makes it to the next round, I would really hate to see Debra get these photos in her hands�
(ACE begins to leave the room)
ACE
Speaking of beating the meat, you can keep those photos I am sure you are going to need them. I hear that you and Monique had a little falling out� I think that was a good call on our part getting her phone number and giving her a call on behalf of XL�
(ACE laughs as he leaves the room)
Donnovan Midas
I can�t f�n believe that this is happening to me�
(He stands up and begins to toss items out of his duffle bag looking for something)
Donnovan Midas
Stupid ass me had to throw my phone at the wall�
He continues his search and finally comes up with the phone book and begins to look up the phone number for Grendel�
Donnovan Midas
This is not happening�
Donnovan walks over to the phone and begins to dial the number� He is waiting for a moment but hangs up the phone�
Donnovan Midas
You know what @#$% that shit if Grendel wants to turn his back on me then fine�.
He picks up the phone once again and gets the hotel operator�
Donnovan Midas
Yes operator� may I please get the room for Matt Daniels�
