.:Introduction:.
~*So it's true. Drayton MacPhereson you defeated me as you promised and my winning streak has come to an end. Wednesday Night Wild wasn't the Elite Impact Players' night but this week, we're gonna bounce back. The Triumvirate might have won the battle but we WILL win the war. Drayton, Keyser, Petapaw and Matt Helms remember our faces because we won't forget yours.~*

.:Scene:.
~*Last Wednesday wasn't the greatest of nights for us but what can you expect. In fighting long battles of supremacy like these you are gonna have a fair share of wins and losses and last Wednesday we've tasted one of them. But this week we are gonna try our hardest not to show a repeat performance. Drayton you pinned me inside the ring and I'll admit that you're a talented superstar but if I were to ever had a rematch I'd prove you wrong. But as of right now we both have plans in store that will make it awhile before I give you a real ass kicking. Even though you beat me, I learned a valuable lesson and that's to NEVER let issues with another man distract you and that's what it did. Drayton after our match I've gained respect for you inside the squared circle but as a person...I hate you just like every other person who walks the corridors. This week is no different as I face Ryan Knite in a non-title match. My wishes to show Ryan what it's like to face one of the Elite has come true but I figure that Knite was too afraid to but his pride and gold on the line this week. Ryan Knite believes he'll defeat me and that slowly Team Extreme will kill off the EIP and make us just a memory. But honestly...I don't see that happening. Not now...not ever. Team Extreme drew first blood last Wednesday and we feel that these men don't deserve their shots at us but just like everything that happens at the Chaos Heat Zone, we have to live with it. We have a guy who has dipped in and out of CHZ more than a child eating a chicken mcnugget and another one who just came back from a movie that'll probably do worse than Gigli. THIS is who the tag titles were once on and that's why we are here to actually make these championships mean something. My first CHZ loss was very disappointing but I have no one to blame but me.....Sean Andretti. Now as days start to close in where the EIP will be victorious at Wild and...at Fallout. We prepare. The last couple of weeks Ryan Knite has been in love with himself while in the process of shoving his past accomplishments down our throats and sharing his hatred for the EIP. Last week Ryan took down one prime time player and this week he's gonna try and take down another but I will make sure that doesn't happen but if it does...then I'll DIE trying.~*

"I'm tired": I said to myself as I waited in a soft but uncomfortable chair in a hospital waiting room in Louisville, Kentucky. Some CHZ executives told me my wife was rushed to the emergency room after taking one of her long night walks after Wild last Wednesday. The details are a bit unstable and shaky but no one but the doctors, Stacy Andretti herself and hopefully some eyewitnesses can tell me what's going on and how'd this tragedy occur. I turn and look at a clock that reads half past 3 in the morning as I begin to cry. Sweat and tears are pouring down my face as I'm scared for Stacy just like Stacy is scared for Stacy while I watch as several people are getting carried up and down the hospital halls. Not realizing what I'm doing I enter one of my pockets and pull out a carton of Newport cigarettes and a green lighter. Some say cigarettes are addictive but I'm about to find out plus...I can always escape temptation...that's what I'm known for. I begin to take my first smoke as a nurse comes up to me with a clipboard.

"I'm sorry sir but there is no smoking" I can never have a time alone without someone bugging me. I take the cigarette out of my mouth as I wipe my tears and sweat away.

"Why can't I smoke?" The young nurse shoots a "you're stupid" glance as she sighs.

"It's hospital rules. I could care less whether you smoke or not just do it outside. Plus something might happen and then we'd all be ancient history"

"Well I wouldn't that to happen now would I?" I smile at the young nurse as she's interested in what I have to say.

"Can you please put the cigarette out, sir?" She kindly asks as she seems to be a little impatient and in a rush. What am I doing anyway? I shouldn't be smoking regardless. This stuff messes up my body. Plus I'm a role model for kids. The children don't need to see me like this. I look up at the woman as she's showing some cleavage in that nurse outfit she's wearing. It just so happens that I sneak a peek and what can I say it's really nice!!!....but my wife is better. Much better. I throw the cigarette in a vase where water is obviously stored.

"So what's your name, young lady?" She smiles as she pulls out a cherry lolipop and begins to suck on it while twisting her hair and clutching onto the clipboard.

"The name is Kelly" She said...interesting.

"Andretti...Sean Andretti is the name." We both get up and exchange a friendly handshake as Kelly begins to leave. A doctor exits a hospital room as the doctor begins to approach me.

"Excuse me, I was informed by my patient that you are a spouse to a Stacy Andretti..am I correct?"

"Yeah that'd be me...I'm Sean Andretti, Stacy's husband" A concerned look forms upon my face as the doctor clears his throat.

"Well Sean I have good news and I have bad news." The doctor said as he fiddled with the pens in his coat pocket.

"Sean you're wife was mugged on the streets of Louisville last Wednesday and suffered some injuries that shouldn't be very major but they need to be healed. We expect that Stacy will be cut of here around October 15th through the 20th if the healing goes according to plan"

"Fallout" I whispered. The doctor looks confused.

"Excuse me?" The doctor asked.

"N-no nothing. It's nothing...please continue" I said as I wait for more news regarding my wife.

"Alright. The main concern is that during the robbery, Stacy lost your child. The two criminals have not been captured yet but when we get info we will pass it along."

"So what is the good news...Doctor....(Looks at the name plate on his jacket)....Anderson?" Tears start to flow down my face as the thought of not having a child hits me hard.

"The good news is...Stacy is up but I believe she is sleep. You can see her if you wish but please keep your conversation to a minimum. Stacy needs her rest." I get up and shake hands with the doctor as I try my hardest to retreat the tears.

"Alright and thanks again." Dr.Anderson nods and starts to wait for the elevator nearby as I enter my wife's hospital room. She looks terrible and she's laying down with equipment attached to her body. Stacy looks to be sleep but I decide to pull up a chair to her bed.

"Stacy I-I-I'm so very sorry. I let you down Stacy and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me" I said as more tears start to flow. I pick up Stacy's hand and kisses it.

"I love you so much and I wish I was there with you but it's all my fault. I caused you to be here and to get mugged. It was ME and I'm so sorry. Words can't explain how I feel right now. Of all people...why did it have to be you?" I said as I looked at her bandaged and tired body.

"I could have been there to fight off the criminals and now we have no child. Where do we go from here?...How can we pick up where we left off when we have no baby to prepare for?" Stacy begins to slowly move as moans and grunts are heard as she tries to get up.

"Sean" Stacy said with the little bit of energy she has.

"I'm glad you came" We both look at each other as we know the love is there and always will be.

"Of course I'm going to be here..I'm your husband remember?" I said as Stacy's beautiful eyes turn watery and she begins to cry. We hug each other for a period of time as we kiss and wipe our tears away.

"Stacy you are the love of my life and I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. So what exactly happen that night?" I asked as Stacy looked as if she didn't wanna relive it again.

"I was mugged and beaten up which was very bad to the point where...as you know...we have no child. They only got away with 30 dollars and tried to rape me but a local fan scared the punks off."

"You poor thing...you must have been scared" I said.

"...For my life. I didn't know how far they'd go to get the money and I was scared. I felt my life flash before my eyes and I thought they were gonna put a bullet in my brain right then and there." Stacy responded as I see the fear in her eyes the attack has done to her.

"Why don't you fill out a police report?"

"I can't...I'm afraid they will find me, follow me and kill me. Then I have personal plans to attend to."....She said what? She has plans....what plans?

"So then why not go back home in Montreal where you're safe. You can't let this crime just go unpunished and let those crooks think that they can get away with robbing innocent women or men. These men NEED to see a jail cell and they NEED to do the time. Plus...what do you mean by personal plans?"

"Sean I see it this way. God didn't want us to have a child right now and this is why is probably happened. The man upstairs works in mysterious ways and Sean maybe this was one of them. Maybe God planned for this to happen and maybe we aren't ready to have children right now. We have our whole lives ahead of us for us to have children and we shouldn't rush the process. We'll just pick up where we left off before I found out I was pregnant. (She puts her hand across my cheek) Sean I'm not making a big deal out of this and you shouldn't either." Maybe Stacy has a point. She might strangly be correct.

"....And what exactly are your "personal plans?" I asked.

"Capturing that CHZ Women's Championship and having it firmly placed around my lovely waist. I want it and I need it Sean. We finished the training before that bullshit had started the only thing we need to do is...wait until I'm out of this hospital." She said anxiously.

"And when are you getting out of here again?" "Sometime around Fallout...or soon after." A smile fell upon her face as I looked on worried.

"Maybe you should take things one thing at a time. All of the boys are worried for you Stacy and if you don't wanna waste your time by filling out a police report then that's fine with me. If you want a shot and reign at the CHZ Women's Championship then do what you have to do but the shot won't be handed to you or appear overnight" I said as I begin to move around in my chair a little and Stacy moves her head back and adjusts her pillow a little as she puts her head back and look into my eyes.

"It's nothing Sean really. And thanks again for your words of advice."

"Well it's no problem. This is what marriage is all about. We cry together and we die together. We will have to fight through things like these and Stacy I wanna devote my life to you. Me, J Stevenson, Shannon and Matt Scheffert all work as a team and work together. You're one of the Elite so when one goes down we all go down. That's just how it works and that's how it always will be." I said as a look of intensity formed upon my face.

"I appreciate you guys concerns but I'll be fine. I love you too and this week just keep continuing what you love to do and I hope everything is great against Ryan Knite."

"Stacy I'm gonna try my damnedest to defeat Ryan Knite and he isn't the Hardcore Champion for no reason. This week I'm either gonna show him how it's like to face one of the Elite or die trying. I want you to watch because this match will be for you...and only you."

"I will and I'll be cheering you on a 100 percent" Stacy said.

"It's getting late, maybe you should get some rest. Good night sweetheart." I said as I kissed Stacy on her cheek as I begin to gather myself and leave.

"Good night baby"
