Ichabod hangs from a pull up bar flexing his triceps to get over the bar over and over. The sweat pouring into his eyes burns to no end, but that is besides the point. He refuses to close them. He sees the bar, then he stares at his right arm, lifting again and again. His knuckles are a pale white, gripping the taped up bar. About five feet away, Deidre is stepping to an aerobics tape. She has iron in each hand, and a weightbelt. Her lithe body glistens as she steps up onto the step. She breathes two in one out two in one out. The aerobics tape stops and Deidre stretches. Ichabod drops from the bar and swings his arms a couple of times to work out the kinks.

Good workout, Deidre. Tomorrow we are going to start earlier and work until this time tomorrow.

They begin to towel off, and Deidre turns to Ichabod.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What really happened between you and Selena?

Ichabod sighs and tosses his towel on a rack. He sits on the bench and rubs his head.

Well it all started back in IPWF. She was my valet. I had met her at a club that my brother Reverend took me to. I invited her to be my valet 'cause I was just starting in this business. She accepted.

Well, one of my trademarks is playing mindgames with people. The two of us made a great team at that, we plotted all this shit out to do to people that would not only fuck them up physically, but also mentally. The Revelation started with us, it was the single most evil and influential stable ever known. Then we flipped into rAw to mess up the ORS. Mind Game No. 1. It continued in every fed we were in. Then in rDw, something happened. I aligned myself with Wicked D, and let him and his friends join the Revelation. It was the first time that there were other women in the Revelation, and Selena finally had someone to relate to.

Who is Wicked D?

An old childhood enemy. He and another wrestler I know, Rage, were brothers, and their family and my family fueded a lot. He was singularly one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. But he trusted all the wrong people. And thats how i fucked him, right where he breathes. I turned on him after three months of cooperation, and in a single act of violence paid him back for all the years that his family tortured my family.

Anyway, all the females that came with Wicked D of course were screwed. For some reason this pissed Selena off. When we joined XCW, there was a big Run of the Mill tournament and I was fighting Thugster. Out of nowhere she comes running down the ramp. I thought she was coming to give me a hand as she's done a million times before. Then she clobbers me. Alot changed that night, that was also the night that Bigg Wafer and I shook hands for the first time, but thats another story.

Deidre looks confused.

Wait a minute, Selena said that you turned your back on her...

Ichabod throws his head back and laughs. He pulls out a beer and cracks it.

Well now you understand the nature of that bitch. I think the reason we couldn't get along is that i lie for mindgames, and she lies about everything. Like you said, she told Draven i turned my back on her. Thats funny, i guess i turned my back on her by letting her hit me with that chair. Oh well, one thing you'll learn about Selena is not to pay much attention to what she says, 'cause its usually a load of bullocks. Pay attention to what she does. She may talk like she's got rocks in her damn head, but she does have the skills needed to wring even a man's neck. But not to worry, my plan isn't to put you up against her, oh no, i have a much better plan.

-------------------------------------------------------

The scene changes to a field. The monster truck pulls to a stop in front of the driveway. It looks like Draven's place. In the yard, however, are seven ten-foot poles with bundles on them. Steve Parke is there, and he climbs a stepladder to the first one. Ichabod looks to the house.

SELENA! I have something for you here.

Steve begins going down the line, pulling hoods off the bundles revealing faces beneath. The faces look cold and groggy, as if waking up from a deep sleep. All seven are bruised and beaten. Ichabod names them off as Steve removes the masks.

Alejandro, tu padre...Pilar, tu mater...Juan, tu hermano...Consuela, tu abuela...Sebastiano, tu tio...Carolina, tu tia...y Lita, tu hermana. Tu familia cara mia. El muerte es vir...

At this he picks up a can of gas, unscrews the cap and douses Selena's family with it. They moan and gasp, realizing their fate. Ichabod lights a match, and Deidre looks shocked, but somehow impressed. Ichabod laughs, then blows out the match. He laughs heartily and climbs into the Monster. Deidre follows and Steve gets in his car and leaves. Ichabod looks out the window before driving off.

You fucked with me Selena, and now its time for you to prepare for the end, ya fuckin choad.
