<scene #1 opens backstage of TNT February 21st Gabe is in his locker room. His elbow is bandaged as is his left knee. His eyes betray a weariness that his demeanor is trying to hide. Angel is sitting across from him her red hair done up in a bun, she stands leaning lightly against a wall smiling at Gabe.>
Angel: Well you did it. You won your number one contenders match against Pain.
Gabe: That I did, and it came about almost like I anticipated. Put in the scouting work will always pay off in the end.
Angel: Good to know, hows the arm?
Gabe: Eh its OK, hurts, Nothing says work out like being pummeled by three people. I am glad Cami and Emi were around to even things up. Then when I could make it count, Paine got Hungover and tapped out.
Angel: Couldn't have drawn it up any better. So whats next?
Gabe: Well you have a plain to catch back to Minnesota tonight and then another one tomorrow night out to Vegas, My friend has been looking for places to rent for me, and the last few could include you as long as you got half the rent.
Angel: Yea Yea, I flippin hate the red eye flights.
Gabe: Yea well I will be at the Air port tomorrow night then Saturday we will go check out this place just outside Vegas Mark found. Luckily I have a little extra left from my college fund that with my 3 year contract money it should be a decent enough place.
Angel: Awesome, wait a little left? Didn't you basically get most of college paid for through scholarships?
Gabe: What can I say my parents plan almost as well as I do. <Gabe gives a light laugh as he finishes packing his bag.> OK lets go the airport awaits the both of us. Remind me to call Cami tomorrow to see how Trey is doing.
<Scene fades on Angel and Gabe leaving the locker room>
<Scene #2 opens on a bright and beautiful morning. The sun is cascading through curtained windows of a hotel room. Angel is standing at an open door watching as Gabe is moving frantic around the room>
Gabe: What the hell?
Angel: Whats up slow ass, we are late according to your own schedule whats keeping you?
Gabe: My fricken phone. I had it last night when I was at the airport picking your lazy ass up and now I cant find it.
Angel: That sucks.
Gabe: I know, I need to find it its got all my contacts and shit. I hate it, I used to know peoples numbers now its all by name. Luckily I got Marks number memorized, we are meeting him later to look at this apartment, town home thing he found. It is about 30 to 40 mins outside Vegas proper so its not like its overly convenient, but it helped with the price.
Angel: Hey I don't care to much, its not like we will be there all that often considering the road shows and shit.
Gabe: That's House shows, and we haven't got those details finalized yet. I know I will be traveling a lot right away.
Angel: What? I thought I was going to be your manager or whatever at first.
Gabe: You will be but probably not until the next big show, Road to Glory. Its all about timing, and getting contracts finalized.
Angel: Fine <She harrumphed> anyway, we need to get gone. Call for a replacement, you did back up to the cloud didn't you.
Gabe: Yes <Gabe sighs> You make one little backup error 2 years ago and little Miss tech wizard wont let you live it down.
Angel: Little, it was you're Research paper. Like seventy five percent of your grade.
Gabe: Yea yea, whatever. Doesn't matter now. Well shit guess the phone is a lost cause.
<Scene shifts to Gabe and Angel in a Ford Mustang convertible. Gabe is on Angels Phone.>
Gabe: Mark, hey brochacho, we are on our way, whats the address. Yes I know you hate Brochacho and yes I can bro you because I Do know you. Can you re text me the address this time to 952-555-5290....Cause I lost my phone that's why..... Stop laughing dude. Thanks, Angel and I are on our way. And thanks again for doing this and thanks for setting my finances so I know things will get paid on time. <Gabe hangs up the phone>
Angel: So we good?
Gabe: Yea just need to input the text into your phones GPS and it will lead us right to the place.
<Phone buzzes. Angel looks at the text and inputs it into the GPS which pings and starts offering up directions and instructions in a few moments. Scene cuts to 30 mins later with the car pulling into a suburban development and a row of town homes. A dark hair gentleman in a nice suit is standing out front of one of the units. A broad smile on his face>
Gabe: Mark, my man how is it going?
Mark: Great, hopefully you will like this place. I know I'm thinking of renting one of these as a hideaway out here in Vegas.
Gabe: Well lets see it. Oh and this is Angel... Angel Mark, my financial advisor.
Angel: Financial Adviser eh? What kind of salary does that bring down?
Mark: Enough. <He says with a wink> Lets get in as I said if you like it everything is in place you can move in today.
<Gabe, Angel and Mark file into the town home and one can instantly see how spacious the area is. the living area and kitchen are one big open area separated by an island counter which also holds the stove. A small hallway leads into a Master suite. Mark continues to show the two around and points out that the second bedroom is actually part of the loft area which includes a second smaller living area and a private bedroom and bath.>
Gabe: Holy crap, are you sure we can afford this mark?
Mark: Yea, I worked it out with the Owner, I got you a deal because your the 10th client I introduced the town homes too and you will be the 10th rental slash sale the owner has had this week.
Gabe: Wow, the only issue is the morning drive to the gym.
Angel: I don't know, I love the loft area for myself but I don't know if I can afford it.
Mark: to be honest, I don't know what you and Gabe is worried about, we can talk numbers later just trust me you guys will be able to afford this no problem.
Angel: Fine if Gabe trusts you then I will too.
Gabe: Yes then its a great place. I don't have much to move in, at the moment and frankly I need a new bed. But its air mattresses for the first few weeks.
Mark: Don't worry it comes fully furnished. My treat. Look we go back a long way Gabe and while I have done pretty well on my own these last few years, your going to be offering me a ton of opportunity to help you and grow my own interests, so as part of my own Place out here you get the furniture.
<scene ends with Gabe and Angel signing the lease.>
<scene #3 opens with Gabe sitting on a couch watching TV. He is randomly flipping through the channels looking for something to catch his attention. The sound of a door opening and closing can be heard. Angel's voice floats from somewhere behind Gabe.>
Angel: Hey your new phone is here.
Gabe: Great toss the package here so I can get it set up.
<Angel appears from around a corner, her red hair is down resting lightly on her shoulders. She is dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black blouse fitted perfectly to her. She tosses the box at Gabe in much the same way kids throw rocks.>
Gabe: Hey, watch it. [/color]<he says with a grin. Gabe swiftly opens the box digging through the packaging pulling his new phone and begins the process of setting it up.>
Angel: I still hate not going this week.
Gabe: We talked about this, I need you to fill out your paperwork with MPW and return them to the Business offices this week. Plus if you going to be my manager and also a trainee here, We kinda need to get this place up to standards. Food, Internet, Cable guy showed up today while you were out by the way.
Angel: i see that. OK fine. <Angel gives a sigh>
Gabe: There phones all set up. Now to check email, twitter and messages. <Gabe begins catching up on the social media side of things while Angel walks to the kitchen area.>
Angel: Hmmm, I am beginning to see what you mean about standards. Really all we have is a pack of bologna and some EZ Cheese. God this isn't your frat house Gabe.
Gabe: See, that's what I'm talking about. Hmm... Oh my god, what the hell?
Angel: What? What happened?
Gabe: Just caught up on my twitter feed and Cami kissed kuk. Looks like I missed several messages, Damn it. [/color]<Gabe tosses the phone down and stalks away into a short pace>
Angel: Wow, I thought she was with that trey guy.
Gabe: Not sure whats going on but with trey hurt that bad, I'm sure it was just an accident. Had to be alcohol and emotions.
Angel: Sheesh you're taking this kind of hard.
<Gabe looks up at Angel and gives her a quizzically look>
Gabe: I suppose I am. Must be the upcoming match at Road to Glory I have with Kuk has me riled up.
Angel: Don't you have a match this week?
Gabe: Yea I do. Oh shit, I just realized what time it is I'm supposed to meet Wyatt up for an interview about that. Oops, running a little behind. Gotta go.
Angel: Alright See ya later.
<Scene ends with Gabe rushing out the door and Angel sitting comfortably down where Gabe was on the couch and flipping channels.>
<Scene 4 Opens with Gabe walking onto a set designed to tape interviews and promos. Jay Wyatt is already there looking a little perturbed.>
Gabe: He sorry traffic, ya know.
Wyatt: Yea sure. Its OK sometimes it happens. You Ready?
Gabe: sure, lets get this over with so you can get back to your day and not have to worry about me.
<Gabe moves deftly to stand beside Wyatt as the cameraman counts down to 3 and counts off silently to cue Wyatt.>
Wyatt: I'm here with up and coming Superstar Gabriel Griffin. How are you Gabe?
Gabe: Not to bad Jay, been busy preparing for Road to Glory and trying not to overlook something called Crow this Thursday.
Wyatt: Glad to hear that Gabe. Lets start with Road to Glory. You have a triple threat match against Kuk Killswitch and wither TJ Pain or Brandon Nytrus. Any concerns going into that match.
Gabe: Concerns? Hell yes concerns. First off let me get to the fact that this is Kuk's match he has all the experience and frankly should be the odds on favorite in this kind of Match. The problem for him is no one has to beat him to win the title. Secondly he will have me as an opponent.
Wyatt: True but you don't have much experience in X-Core rules...
Gabe: True but frankly these kind of matches is more about absorbing pain and being able to continue on. That is something I have plenty of experience with. Anyone can swing a bat, TJ proved that last week, but holding it together through the pain that's what its about.
Wyatt: I can see that, speaking of TJ Pain, you made him tap last week, any worry his buddy Crow will be looking for retribution for that?
Gabe: I'm sure he will. Last week I made a commitment to apply as much pain to Pain last week that he would give up. I succeeded. Now Crow is a different animal. He is kind of like a blind Rhinoceros. Thick skinned, thick headed, and blindly goes about his business, if your in the way one can get hurt. This week though will be a great warm up to Road to Glory. Especially if his buddy TJ and wife decided to make an issue.
Wyatt: True enough. Any opinion on who you want to face Pain or Nytrus?
Gabe: Honestly...No. Though if Pain wins I already know I can beat him, Nytrus would be another unknown I would need to scout. Either way Kuk is still the real threat at Road to Glory.
Wyatt. Well Gabe its been a pleasure here today and good luck this Thursday against Crow.
Gabe: Thanks Wyatt, this was a better interview then Bowers gave last time. Oops did I say that on air. [/color]<Gabe gives a sly smile as the camera man signals done>
Wyatt: Well Gabe that was pretty well done. Its good to have you in the MPW.
Gabe: Sure thing Jay so we done I gotta get going I need to give Cami a call see how she is doing.
Wyatt. Nope we are done. You and Cami? I though she was dating Trey.
Gabe: She is but she is a friend and someone I care about and can see is hurting so really its none ya business. <Gabe walks off pulling his phone out as the scene fades to black he can be seen dialing a number>
Angel: Well you did it. You won your number one contenders match against Pain.
Gabe: That I did, and it came about almost like I anticipated. Put in the scouting work will always pay off in the end.
Angel: Good to know, hows the arm?
