Backstage in the locker room, Kellar paced and down. The lights were down, and the crowd had gone home, but Davis had left him with the keys to lock up, and he was in no mood to leave.
He licked and bit at the split on his lip, and reached back to feel the plaster and glue that was holding the back of his head together.
On a nearby bench, Sophia applied an ice pack to her upper back and shoulders while Sean packed away her wrestling gear.
Suddenly, in a moment of unconcealed rage, Kellar drove his fist into a nearby locker.
Kellar: I’m going to kill him…
Sophia: Oh god…
Kellar: Samson has been screwing with me since the day I walked through GZW2K1’s front door, but there is no reason to victimise you. I’m putting a stop to this, right now. I’m going to find that grinning, loudmouth weasel of man and separate his mouth from his face…
Kellar made for the door. As he did, Sophia slammed her ice pack down on the bench, hard.
Sophia: And there we have the problem!
Kellar: Huh?
Sophia: Once again you think it’s all about you. The only reason Samson could possibly be targeting me is because of his rivalry with you. It couldn’t possibly be that maybe, just MAYBE, he sees me as a threat.
Kellar: I didn’t mean…
Sophia: No… you didn’t think!
Sophia winced, then returned the ice pack to her shoulder.
Sophia: Sorry… this hurts… and I’m not really in the mood to be calm and collected about this. But you have to understand, this is why I went across the country, to make a name for myself elsewhere. I came back here as a favour to you and your new promotion but if you're going to fight my battles for me then so help me god, I am done.
Kellar: But…
Sophia: No… no buts… this is MY fight, and MY victory to have. You have a match of your own to worry about. I want you to promise me, right here, right now, that you will stay out of mine.
Kellar sighed
Kellar: Fine.
Sophia: PROMISE!
Kellar grit his teeth
Kellar: I promise! But I swear to god if you get hurt and your aunt comes back to haunt me…
Sophia chuckled.
Sophia: I’m sure Aunt Dyna has better things to do.
Sean: As do you Johnny boy… Vernon isn't just out to beat you… he’s out to destroy you.
Kellar shrugged
Kellar: Let him try…
Kellar made for the door again.
Sophia: He’s right Sensei. Eye on the prize, fire in the belly, ice in the head. That’s what you taught me, that’s what you need.
Kellar nodded
Kellar: I’ll see you both tomorrow…
