(A week ago)
Tuesday morning, 9 am. Vince Petersons bedroom
GV) God that hurts
Vince is slowly getting up from his bed, feeling every muscle in his body aching and screaming for rest. Even parts of his body that he did not know that consisted of muscles.
GV) What the f*** happened??? I remember me getting into that ring, with that Justice fellow, a few blurry moments. And now I wake up as if I aged 40 years….. I need a massage
Vince tries to grab the phone, but his arm is so sore that he just drops the thing instead of picking it up. He tries to crawl to the end of his bed to grab it, but the pain in his body is unbearable.
Br) Now that is a sight I never thought I would see, especially after watching you beat that guy.
Vince looks up, at least makes an attempt to do that as his neck is killing him. He recognizes his friend and lawyer Brian.
GV) You know what happened?? Did he do a number on me?? Did you see what he did?? I hope you did, cuz then I can sue him.. I…,
Br) Sue him?? Are you joking?? Look Vince, first of all. You signed a contract as a wrestler, God forbid what you were smoking or drinking something?? Oh wait, I know. It wast he OTHER Vince right?? Look son, you got a contract that allows others with a contract to do a number on you and you on them.
GV) As if…., God what is that???
Brian looks in amusement as he tosses Vince an envelope.
BR) That my friend, is the proof of the number you did on your very first opponent that you have faced in the ring. And quite honestly, I cannot believe how it happened. But you beat the guy with a move, that I never saw you pull out on anyone. Hell, if htat was….,
GV) I did what?
BR) You beat the guy, you did a move that someone said was called You never saw it coming. And quite honestly. I ….,
EV) Let me guess, you never saw it coming huh Brian?? Like you did not expected me to shut up his whining about a little pain?? I mean seriously, a few aspirins would do magic you know.
BR) Let me guess, the other Vince???
EV) No, you should say the one and only. I mean seriously, I have been watching at a safe distance from times. And it has struck me that this shell of mine has no backbone correct??
BR) You could say that again.
GV) Huh?? What???
BR) Nothing Vince, I was just merely mumbling to myself.
EV) Good excuse Brian, the idiot somehow slipped from my concentration. I guess he did not take an aspirin as he should have. Did you know that you get a good buzz from enough aspirins and a coke??
BR) I wasn’t sure that was a good combination??
EV) Oh sure, it isn’t the smartest thing to do. Then again, most people cannot appreciate the bad things in life the way that I do.
BR) Can I ask you something???
EV) Well isn’t that what a conversation is all about?? To exchange information and to produce something of a quite fond moment between two or even more living souls??
BR) Err, you could explain it that way yes. But…,
EV) The fondest memory I ever remembered was how I played the poor high school girls volleyball teacher. This chick was just too dumb, it only took me a few weeks to get her expelled… and of course Vince did not know why he was getting those weird notes from her.
Br) So it was you that got Miss Twittle fired???
Vince looks at Brian with a look of shock on his face, before bursting out in tears from hearing what his friend just said.
GV) I told you that I had nothing to do with it!! What was I supposed to do!! She was sending me letters how much she wanted me!! I was seventeen!!!
Brian scratches his head, realizing the Good Vince showed up, handing him an aspirin. Hoping that he would just forget it and have the other Vince show up again.
EV) Hehehe, I just had to bring him back to some painful memories. It so enjoyable to watch him squirm and cry in a corner if I wanted to. But then again, I just hate the headaches in the morning. God this fucker is such a crybaby.
Vince looks at the paycheck and grins.
EV) Nice, next time I will try to get a submission victory over my next opponent this week. I…,
BR) You don’t have an opponent this week, I took credit to just give you some rest Vince. But I am sure that next week will be another opportunity for you to shine.
EV) To shine?? Give me a freaking break. I want to compete damnit, I have been working to this day to get rid of my other half and I want to do it ASAP!!!
BR) One week wouldn’t harm your quest too much now would it??
Vince looks up at the man as he starts to get a grin upon his face.
EV) I guess I am starting to rub off on you Brian, what has gotten into you all of the sudden???
Brian scratches his head and lets out a sly smile, offering Vince a sign that there is more to him than meets the eye.
BR) Well you have to realise that Vince… or you, sometimes just got under my skin. And I think it will only benefit me if one of the two have been removed. Plus, I think you could use a manager.
GV) Manager?? Are you going to try to bankrupt me?? And what is about removing one of us?? There is only you and me?? If you want to remove someone, then I prefer you remove yourself!! Some friend you are!!!
Vince tries to get up and walk to the bathroom, but he drops down to the ground as his knees give out on him. He tries to crawl towards the door, but realizes he doesn’t stand a chance to get away.
GV) Could you uhm perhaps help me?? I seem to have a problem
Brian rolls his eyes and pulls him up and drops him back on the bed, a grimace can be seen on the face that slowly changes to a sickening smile
BR) I am glad if you just drop the fucker
Vince grins as he nods in agreement….
(Present time)
Vince can be seen drinking some beer at a Rock club, he is wearing some cut off jeans and a Korn shirt. Pouring the final drink down to his throat before turning his attention towards the camera.
EV) Hello folks!! It is quite a while since the Vince of all Vinces has spoken up his mind on a few things. For instance, has it really been me that beat Justice?? Or has it been the crybaby that somehow managed to escape the beating he deserved?? Quite frankly, the way you are seeing here sitting down and enjoying his beer is the guy. I am sophisticated, I am a guy that likes to read books, travel across the world and… well drinks beer!!!
He lets out a burp as a sign that he is enjoying himself, waving with his paycheck as he tells the bartender that he is still capable of giving three more rounds. He then turns back to the camera, causing his sunglasses that were on top of his head to fall off
EV) Damn, I’m just glad that these are cheap imitations. I would be damned if I used this valuable drinking money upon something irrelevant as a bit more expensive sunglasses. I am not some jerk like… Whats his name again??
Vince looks at his wallet and pretends that he forgot the name he was looking for as he slaps his head.
EV) That’s right, Good Vince!!! Seriously, who would just not like this fellow?? He is so damn cute with his pathetic smile.
A girl walks up to him as she was paying attention to him talking, believing that he is drunk and easy victim to score some money from.
Girl) Hey hun, who are you talking about?? Hey that is you.
Suddenly Vince looks up at her, then turns around and stares into the bar. As if he is wondering where he is before he turns towards the girl and whispers
GV) Uhm, can you please tell me how long I have been here???
Girl) Well by the looks of the amount of beers you have drunk by those glasses that is on the bar, I would say a few hours???
Vince slaps his head and starts to hold it in both his hands.
GV) I will have a hangover tomorrow, just great.
Girl) Well what you expect when you visit a bar hun? Are you expecting milk and cookies??
GV) No, but at least some water. Did you know that I have got to go back to my hotel in one piece?? I don’t see a driver around here and I cant remember the phone number of my boss picking me up.
Girl) Are you a pansy???
EV) He is, I’m not
Girl) Rrrright…., well been nice talking to ya, creep.
The girl walks off as Vince stares at her sway her asss.
EV) Just like Justice, so easily to be confused one way or the other. And I just have to wonder whether this federation hand picks their names as if they are just coming from a bad cop show. I mean first Justice, the law at his own hands and now Crimson?? Am I a between man that issues a truce between two evils?? A good and evil side?? I mean seriously, if I was hired merely for the fact that I know a thing or two about a good and bad side, I would have to ask the world to pay me triple the amount.
EV) But of course it is only a guessing game, a game of how in the hell would someone becomes good or evil. Is it merely because we want to give people a two sided perspective on life?? Quit hiring idiots like them and just look at me!! It saves you less the money and less the headache!! Oh and the buzz is for Good Vince of course.
Vince chuckles as he orders another beer, the glass is being handed over towards him as he accepts it gladly.
EV) No matter what the outcome will be, I am going to be the one that is going to be telling you the straight facts of life. You either shove it down someones throat, or you are going to swallow it with a nice pint
EV) I believe that is how they call it in England right???
Nobody reacts to Vince as he just shrugs and goes on.
EV) The truth is Chris, I can call you Chris right?? The truth is that I just need a beer buzz in the morning to get my balls to be scratched. Just like I had to scratch Justice a few weeks ago, he got some rash upon his ass and when he realized what it was, I just dropped him because he never saw it coming. But how is the bad side of the law going to deal with the split personality??
EV) I can imagine that you want to grab a grapefruit and just split it in half, telling the world that this is your brain on cocaine. Now I know that Freddy Krueger used an egg, but eggs are so out of the blue these days. You need to wander whether the chicken that laid the egg came out of a farm, free of stress. Or was locked with 100 other chickens that were just trying to scratch his butt in a room for only twenty chickens!!
GV) What am I doing here???
EV) Shut it moron, I am talking here. I was just getting in a groove and I don’t need no bed wetter to deal with it. You see Chrimson, at least I know you will break a few rules or so. Makes it more interesting to see whether someone has the guts to do something different than the man that obeys the law. Law breaking men always get laid I have been told, good Vince never got to that point. Wandering why the girls always slapped him. But then again, I never told them my escapades of boldly going where no light bulb has gone before.
He grins as he implies to have a light bulb to be used in a in humain fashion.
EV) So how long will you watch, before you realize you never saw it coming. Because that is the whole thing and nothing but the whole deal with me. A nice hand gesture for sportsmanship conduct, followed by a knee in the gutt. Maybe even just splitting your chin, just because I can. And afterwards, I will offer you a drink and talk it over like mates… but one thing you will have to understand, you never saw it coming bitch….
With that he finishes his drink as he salutes to the camera with the remainder in his glass before the shot fades to darkness.
