It has been a while and well there is a lot to catch up on, I mean last time you saw Danielle Weston she had just suffered defeat at the hands of Alicia Lukas who was able to pry the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Championship away from her grasps. Just 4 months out from Danielle being able to claim herself the longest reigning champion in Sin City Wrestling history in a single title run, to say that things were on the downward spiral was pretty evident. In fact, if you follow the former champion on Twitter you could see that things in her life was turning from bad to worse. From losing her championship, from being placed in to a fatal four-way match at Blaze of Glory against Alicia, Selenana and Crystal all the way to her applying a lip lock to one of her bosses who swiftly and harshly rejected her advances, things weren’t looking good for the young gun from Daytona Beach. Nevertheless, the show must go on and well, the up and downs were destined to keep coming.
It was late and almost everyone at the Golden Ring Casino had called it a night, it was different tonight as normally the casino was open 24/7 yet Daniel and his team made the executive decision to close the doors for a few hours as they comply with a health and safety audit. It wasn’t uncommon for Casinos to undergo random checks and with Daniel moving forward with his plans to open more restaurants near the Casino it was expected that a slight inconveniences like this would happen, from time to time. It was a rare moment that he could take with his team to sit down and work out what was happening next and where the business was headed.
Moving up stairs to the meeting room that only the managers knew about, London Underground and Nicky George all sat around a long rectangular table.
Daniel sat at the head, while Mackenzie and Charlotte were on his right, Os was to his left and Nicky was based at the other end of the table. Next to Os was an unfamiliar face but he must have been pretty friendly with London Underground to find a spot at the table. The young man who didn’t look a day above twenty-one smugly leaned back in his chair before he, took a cigarette out form his top pocket, slipping it between his lips before he went to light up in front of the group.
“Jakey boy.” Nick said with a smirk. “You can’t smoke in here.” His cold blue eyes stalked him as Jake stopped what he was doing.
His large out stretched hand was enough evidence that Jake needed, before he reluctantly moved the cigarette from his mouth and handed it over towards Nick. As soon as the stick hit the palm of his hand, Nicky crunched his fingers around it, watching it break with ease.
“And the rest.” His thick accent was harsh as his eyes didn’t move from the boy.
Jake sighed but did what he was instructed to do, as he handed over the box of cigarettes.
“The lighter as well you mutt” Nick barked out another order. “Chop, chop boy, you’re holding us up.”
The boy fumbled around and found his lighter from his pockets before he slide that across the table towards Nick. Daniel couldn’t help but smirk as he watched his long-time friend, flip open the lid of the cigarette packet to help himself to one of the sticks before he lit it up and brought it to his lips, much to Jake’s disgust.
“Hey, you said…” He was cut off mind sentence.
“You’re a guest at this table, until you earn it… I’d advise you shut your mouth” Nick ordered.
As Nick rocked back into his chair, he looked down the table to see that Daniel was waiting on the two of them to finish their bickering before he kicked this meeting off. However, this wasn’t a regular meeting about facts and numbers this was about something that was brewing outside in the Casino scene that took none of them by surprise. Daniel brought his hands together before he rested them down on the table, his jacket was out stretched as his muscles rippled from underneath the tight material. This little nugget of information wasn’t needed but hey sometimes a girl gets lonely on Valentine’s Day.
“I’ve been hearing whispers that we made an enemy in town.” Daniel kicked off. “Seems like a certain yank, can’t handle a little bit of competition.” He flashed a toothy smile. “Yet Jakey boy, has had his ear to the ground and earlier today he came to me with some intel, that I found amusing.” Daniel waved a hand towards Jake. “Care to share?”
Jake sat up in his seat and looked around the table to see that all eyes were on him, he couldn’t help but feel nervous like the weight of the world was on his shoulders right now as he had to be a bearer of bad news.
“Me and me mates, were at The Rise Casino… and we over heard some rumblings.” He kicked off. “It appears that Colton… the owner, isn’t happy that his business is down the tube since you lot opened up.” He nervously fumbled with his hands.
Nick looked across at Jake to see his palms were clammy as he spoke, he knew the next few words to spill form his lips weren’t going to be ones to take lightly. Rocking forward in his chair, he rested his elbows on the table, before he blew a cloud of smoke in the young male’s direction.
“Let me guess, this Colton is going to try and swing his big dick and take down what we have built here?” Nick looked up at Daniel with a murderous grin beaming on his face.
Jake didn’t say a word he just nodded his head. Daniel, Mackenzie and Charlotte straightened up before Mackenzie’s voice was heard.
“A man can dream.” She said confidently.
“He’s not coming for you the traditional way… the boys and I over heard that he wants to flush you all out. Expose you, he says he knows exactly who you lot are and what you have done and well… he wants to show you whose boss…” Jake anxiously stutters with his words. “Says he doesn’t want to buy you out but wants to see this place burn to the ground.” His eyes look up at Nick as he can sense his burning blue eye son his skin.
Nick takes a moment to analyse Jake to see if he is telling the truth, but he can’t fault the intel that was just brought to the table. Looking up from Jake, he looks towards Daniel and calmly he speaks.
“Colton Jones, he’s the big dick around town, owns more bars than Os can count, night clubs, casinos… old money, dirty money…” Nick takes another long drag on the cigarette that is hanging out of his mouth. “He normally puts pressure on and get’s people the sell what’s hot in town but has been known to flush the sewers with drugs.” He takes another drag on his cigarette before he blows a cloud of smoke around himself. “It keeps him in a good light with the people and keeps his dick hard with the politicians.”
Nick cranes his neck to the side, before he removes the cigarette from his mouth and stubs it out in the ashtray in front of him. Daniel looks down the table his eyes darting between Nick and Jake.
“Been doing some research, Nicky?” Daniel’s right eyebrow raised.
“It’s what I’m good at.” He replied with a cheesy grin.
“And how did you get all this information?” Charlotte looked towards Nick with caution.
“He’s got a daughter…” He titled his head towards Charlotte. “and not all of her lips are tight.” He threw a cocky wink in her direction.
Charlotte and Mackenzie just roll their eyes, while faking a gag but that doesn’t remove the smirk from Nicky’s face.
“Don’t worry loves, the moment she told me she was a virgin, I remembered why I don’t sing hail Marys.” He fired off another wink. “Jesus Christ, what sort of monster do you take me for?” He shouted a little towards the girls. “I didn’t go anywhere near her, I just have my ways of getting information. Let’s just leave it at that.”
“My brother always told me you were a wealth of knowledge… I didn’t realise that the bastard was right.” Daniel fired off a smirk.
Nicky just started the chuckle, not getting offended by the remark.
“So, what’s the plan?” Charlotte moved forward in her chair.
“I’d say it’s time we go introduce ourselves.” Daniel bit back with harsh words and a cold hard stare.
Os just cracked his knuckles, while Charlotte and Mackenzie looked at one another having a silent discussion about what their roles would be in all of this. Daniel looked down towards his watch, while Nicky was grinning like a lion that had been caged up at the zoo for too long, that was finally going to get a chance to hunt. As all members of the table took a few moments to hash out a plan, they were taken by surprise of the sound of pounding on the meeting room door. Before anyone could speak, the door swing open and in spilling into the room was Danielle Weston. As she was tumbling over her own feet, as she was in a mad rush to get to them all. All eyes in the room darted towards her, to see the tears streaming down her face.
“It’s... it’s... Lacey.” Those were the only three words she could speak.
It didn’t take the rest of the room to fill with silence before they all leapt to their feet ready for action.
“What about Lacey?” Daniel tried to hide the concern in his direct voice, but everyone in the room could hear it.
Dani was struggling to form a sentence but she gave it everything she had.
“She was walking to her car, and he... they...” she was muttering as the tears fell.
“Spit it out.” Nick roared in anger, he hated when people delayed information.
“They knocked her over and took her belongings, they attacked her... she’s...” She was cut off.
“Where?” Daniel’s voice boomed, commanding her attention.
“Downstairs, she’s really shaken up... and soo much blood.” Dani cried.
Everyone is the room flooded the doorway, moving past Danielle as she stood still frozen from what she had obviously just witnessed. Daniel and Nick looked back before they left, they motioned for the girls to go back to grab Dani and pry as much details out of her as possible.

This week I get to face Mercedes and well to say I’m excited is a little bit of an understatement. She is the Sin City Wrestling highlight reel she is the girl who has been there and done that... Mercedes is and will always be the pinnacle of this business and it would be foolish of me to think otherwise. Sure I’m coming into this match on the back of a loss but please don’t let that nugget of information cloud your judgement. Don’t think that I’m not ready for this...
If anything losing the Sin City Wrestling World Bombshell Championship is the wake up call I needed, it was the reminder that I needed to show me that this business is filled with highs and lows and trust me, I’ve been to the lowest parts for the most part of my early days in SCW and I will not, I won’t go back to those days... I refuse... so Mercedes needs to keep her eyes open and keep in mind that I’m coming in hot... I’m going to look towards the future and the future has me winning back my Sin City Wrestling World Bombshell Championship on the 10th of March and there isn’t a damn thing anyone can do about it.
So this Sunday night I get to scratch and claw my way back to the top, by taking out the hall of gamer Mercedes and well its no easy task but, nothing worth having comes easy... so finally getting back in the ring against her is what I need, so far in my career I’ve been winless when it comes to staring across that ring my Mercedes and that all comes to a stop this Sunday night.
I will walk in and show Mercedes and the fans that I still have what it takes, I will prove to the world that I’m not a one streak wonder... I’m not a quitter and just because my title is currently being worn my Alicia Lukas, doesn’t mean that I’m not coming back with a vengeance to reclaim what is mine... to reclaim what I put back in the spotlight... So gear up Mercedes because trust me, you’re in for a world of pain this Sunday night because I have a message to send and right now, you’re in the firing line of it being delivered.
Truth be told I can’t wait to get inside the six-sides ring this weekend and duel with one of the best women to ever step foot inside Sin City Wrestling, but warm and fuzzy feelings aside... I have a job to do and recapturing my title is at the peak of my Wishlist, so Mercedes... I’ll see you on Sunday and mark my words, I will give you one of the best matches in your career. I’m not bragging, I’m not tooting my own horn... I’m just stating facts, I’m just letting you know that I’m going to give it my all and pray that it’s enough to put me on the right foot as I head back towards the top.
