Sat quietly inside one of the many coffee shops located in London dressed in khaki shorts and a white sleeveless tank is the former dual champion Alex Cross. His eyes look like he just finished an all night bender or hadn't slept in days. It was easy to tell though that the former champion hadn't been drinking but he hadn't been sleeping either, probably in part to the change in time zones and the jet lag that he was certainly feeling.
Not getting much sleep Alex?
The soft voice from behind the former champion causes him to put his coffee down for a moment.
Honestly, I'm not sure I even remember what sleep is right now. I don't think I've seen the inside of my eyelids since I touched down earlier this week.
The young Amanda Reynolds sat down across from Alex and leaned her back against the window. Her attention was on the young male who looked like he had been ran through the meat grinder.
Have you been drinking again Alex?
He shook his head briefly from side to side.
A drink here and a drink there but nothing serious. No late night benders or drinking til I blackout if that's what you mean.
He laughs to himself.
I'm so damn tired I think drinking til I blackout would be a good thing at this point. Minus the whole being piss drunk end of things of course.
Might I make a suggestion? Get some sleep before your match with Tamer. I know you think your untouchable and your some God walking alongside mortals but you're not. You go into your match like this he'll make short work of you and you'll have no business being in the main event for the World Title in a couple of weeks. You need to take this serious Alex.
Who are you my fucking mother? Do you have any idea who you're talking to right now Amanda?
A shell of his former self at this point and time. Look at you Alex you smell like week old booze.
I haven't been drinking Amanda I promise. Like I said, I've had like one or two at the most since I arrived in London. I just haven't been sleeping so I've used that time to hit the gym at all hours of the night. I'll be ready for Tamer when Sunday gets here. But that isn't why I called you here Amanda.
So it wasn't for the crappy coffee or the stimulating conversation?
Hardly. What do you know about your manager James? I mean really know?
I know he's done a lot of work on the independent circuit but other than about as much as everyone else. Why?
He's approached me more than once trying to get me to align with him. Now he's brought in this new guy named Payne who he wants to give to me as some form of protection. You seem like a nice girl and wouldn't be into this whole world domination thing. So I gotta ask, are you in this to?
I've heard the rumblings and all but no I'm not in the middle of it. I'm here to do my job and that's it Alex. They pay me to entertain the fans and that's exactly what I'm here for. I'm not looking to ruffle feathers and start wars though I certainly won't back away from one if I'm forced into it.
Well I just wanted to give you a heads up on what was going on in case you didn't know.
Thanks but I'm not stupid. I kinda figured he was up to something but you confirmed my suspensions so thanks for that.
She looks down at her left wrist.
Look I gotta run I've got a fan interaction thing to get to and I don't want to be late.
Take care.
Oh and Alex, get some sleep you look like shit.
She gets to her feet and walks off towards the entrance.
Waitress can you top me off please?
He finishes off the cup of coffee as the scene fades.
