Following... To say that Vegas was pissed hearing the news that his opponent had already been selected for the upcoming Pay Per View without his knowledge or consent would have been a gross understatement. Laura had seemingly taken a page out of his own personal "book", effectively placing things in favor of herself as well as Mr. Jason Cross. Had it been any other individual on this entire roster, he could have lived with what she had done...But...She chose the most vile creation on the face of the earth as far as he was concerned. It was no secret he loathed the man with a passion and if he had his way? Would just as soon see the man at the bottom of the ocean than at the top of the food chain here in APW. That was something he would NOT allow to happen. By any means necessary. Warrington was one of but many "trump cards" at the disposal of the Familia Regime in this industry...And Mr. Vegas had every intention of utilizing them all to their fullest potential.
He had made his way to the Office of the Co-GM's office, flanked by the big man Kasino as well as Buck close behind. His face showing that of a scowl like never seen upon his face before. It seemed that there was but one final war to be waged in this never ending conflict between he and his...Brother in law...Ugh...But he also had every intention of once and for all rectifying this entire ordeal and putting the situation...As well as Mr. Cross, to rest...Just as they are arriving to the door as he is about to place a knock upon it, it comes ajar and Vegas' eyes meet those of...

Sapphire had been inside the office talking to Mr. Steele about business before wrapping things up and leaving. As she opened the door she saw the figure of Mr. Vegas fist raised about to place a knock on the door. Startled by the sight of course, she stepped back speaking.
Oh sorry sir wasn't expecting anyone to be there. let me just step aside for you Mr. Vegas I'm sure whatever business you have must be important to be coming up here yourself.

Vegas' response ending in his words trailing off a bit as his eyes scanned the woman's appearance from head to foot...Indeed she was quite the visual specimen to lay eyes upon. Seemingly his eye was being caught by female after female as of late...Indeed a pattern was definitely forming... He then saw fit to introduce himself as he extended his hand towards her as the door to the GM's office was closed by his opposite extended arm. As their hands meet he speaks...
[glow=red,2,300]No...'Tis quite alright my dear, quite alright. I see you indeed keep tabs on the TOP talent within this promotion. Very good seeing as how I get the feeling that... [/glow] Giving her another once over with his eyes as he can hear the snickering from his comrades a few feet behind him, he raises his eyes back to meet with hers and...
[glow=red,2,300]You're one of the newest management representative acquisitions of APW. Would I be correct in that asumption Ms...I didn't catch your name ma'am.[/glow]

Sapphire kept her eyes locked on Mr. Vegas own as she spoke.
Why yes I'am a new manager here in APW. My name is Sapphire Summers Mr. Vegas, and yes I do keep track of the top talent here in APW how else would I be able to do my job if I didn't.
Sapphire never let her eyes leave those of Mr. Vegas, as she shifted back into business mode after the initial greeting this man was after all the very man her client would be facing soon.

[glow=red,2,300]I see, I see. Very nice to know my good friend is keeping the level of excellence on par with what it should be here. Well I must say that it is nice to meet your acquaintance Miss Summers, very nice indeed. But... [/glow] He steps partly around the woman, placing his hand on the doorknob and turning a bit before opening it...Making sure to make eye contact with the young woman before preceding into the office of the Co-GM's...
[glow=red,2,300]For future reference? I'd suggest a bit more friendly interaction my lady. Could make or break that managing career. Until we meet again Miss Summers... [/glow] And with that, he enters into the office, Kasino and Buck both passing by Miss Summers as she steps to the side keeping her eyes firmly placed on them both. Within moments the door is returned to it's closed position as Vegas had already locked eyes with his old friend...
[glow=red,2,300]Warrington...We have a serious problem my friend. I'm hoping you can assist us in rectifying it as soon as possible. [/glow]

Warrington leaned back in his office chair, a grin appearing on his face as he noticed the arrival of his "family" members so to speak. He nodded slightly to the two men standing directly behind Mr. Vegas as he greeted them with...
"Gentlemen, gentlemen. What a pleasant and unexpected delight this is. Good to see family once again."
After a long drawn out sigh from his lips he continues...
"Now, what can I do for you Cross? Something about a...Problem you say?"

Sapphire smiles as she watched the men enter the office. Knowing it was in fact Mr. Steele inside currently and not Mr. Hugh who she and Mrs. De'Icco had talked to earlier about the contract she makes the quick decision to discreetly listen in on what is going on inside. Rationalizing it with the fact that this was indeed being done in her clients best interest Sapphire settled in waiting for the conversation to start.

The scowl that had donned his face prior to his "bumping into" Miss Summers upon his arrival had returned as he lowers his head, his eyes down casted towards the floor before him...Then after a few moments his dialog begins as his eyes slowly raise from their lowered state en route to meeting those of Warrington's...
[glow=red,2,300]It appears that...My opponent for the coming Pay Per View event has been chosen already Warrington...Though I have no problem defending what is rightfully mine...The man in which I am facing is most undeserving...And the mere fact that HE of all the gentlemen on this roster will be receiving the "shot" irks me to NO end...I'm sure you know...Whom I'm referring to?

A hard cough emenates from Warrington's person as he rocks slightly in his office chair, eye contact remaining in tact with his close associate, responding...
"Hmm, my first guess would be Mr. Jason Cross. Yet if you are indeed that adamant about him not receiving the title shot, why would you agree for the contract to be signed my friend?

+Kasino had stood by while the conversation had begun between the two good friends listening in while Buck stared at pictures of Kaley throughout the office, not paying attentino at all it seemed. Hearing Warrington's question, he quickly chimed in with a scowl on his face...+
[glow=red,2,300]Who the fuck said he agreed to it? That's why we here. Somebody's playin' games with the Fam and I don't appreciate it. Regardless of who it is. That shit ain't right Warrington, it ain't right. V didn't agree to that damn match man.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Precisely!...Apparently Miss De'Icco feels the need to involve..."Revenge" tactics into the fold for some reason. Thus placing myself in this particular predicament. So now I'm sure you see why this is unnerving to yours truly at this moment in time?[/glow]

"Revenge? Why would Miss De'Icco feel the need for revenge? That makes no sense whatsoever. What am I missing here?"
Warrington slowly stands from his seat, watching the non-reaction from the three gentlemen following his inquiry. He raises an eyebrow awaiting some form of confirmation concerning this particular part of this "story".

+An awkward silence fell upon the room hearing the question asked by Warrington. Neither of the three men commented on the situation at hand as Vegas' gaze met with that of Warringtons. After a few moments of a brief staredown between the two, Vegas clears his throat as he responds to the Co-GM...+

[glow=red,2,300]Let's just say...A few "situations" arose...Resulting in Miss De'Icco becoming...What's the word?...Irate...With yours truly. No need to go into detail. Only thing I NEED to know?...Is can you fix this and how soon?[/glow]

This was quite the dilemna placed in front of him. He knew that Ms. De'Icco had indeed played quite the trump card herself this time around and that this could prove to become quite the agitating ordeal for them all. Though he knew that all was not lost even though he couldn't actually alter what was already made.
"I'm afraid...I cannot "fix" this as you say Cross. If Mr. Hugh has agreed to the matchup to take place, as well as signed the appropriate documents for the title match in all? It is out of my hands as well as the Angel sisters."
He makes eye contact with his old friend once more, seeing the blood boiling inside of him each second he has to listen to the dialog from his mouth. He can feel the frustration and anger setting in and he knew the man enough to know that once he was angry things would definitely become more interesting.
"Though even if we can't ALTER the situation, that does not mean we cannot add on to it...To give yourself the advantage in the impending contest my friend."

That wasn't exactly the news Vegas wanted to hear from his associate at all. He wanted to hear that the contract could in fact be null and voided seeing as how his agreement to the signed document had not come into play upon it's signing and negotiation process. He makes his way to one of the open seats in front of Warrington's desk and places himself there as Warrington retakes his as well. A long breath is released as he folds his hands together and replies...
[glow=red,2,300]Elaborate.[/glow]

"I'm sure you are aware that, since Ms. De'Icco failed to mention which match type the contest would be subjected to, only hands that option over to yourself. You can in fact neutralize the power assault of the young man Jason Cross easily, just by choosing a contest HE may not be well versed in...But that you Cross...ARE...Very well versed in. Follow?
That and of course there are other options to consider surrounding this match up in which...I will go into detail concerning at a later date. Right now? You should concentrate on just HOW you will retain that APW World Title at any costs. I'd suggest you come to some sort of conclusion as soon as possible."

Things inside the office seemed to be getting to the true point of Mr. Vegas's visit here now. Sapphire listened more closely as she knew anything she heard here could no doubt be put to good use by her client in the coming contest for the world title.

His eyebrow raises once more...His thought process already beginning it's work as it instantly jump starts to analyzing the suggestion, ultimately coming to the conclusion that even though Laura had in fact gotten one over on him this time, HE was still in control of the situation somewhat...More so than THEY would believe actually. He began to nod his head slightly as he thought more and more over the ordeal and it's potential.
Slowly but surely he began to further comprehend Warrington's words of advice and suggestion, as their eyes met once more intensely. Both men obviously on the same page. A slight nod in his direction confirming he was indeed in line with what needed to be done to preserve the prowess of the Familia Regime's first accomplishment in their objectives. He retorts...
[glow=red,2,300]Duly noted Warrington, duly noted...Now... [/glow] He clears his throat as he cracks his neck slightly, shifting slightly in the chair as he leans forward, resting his elbows atop of his knees. Then...
[glow=red,2,300]Until then?...I need some sort of..."Incentive" if you will. Even MORE opportunity to play this hand perfectly. You do see where I'm headed with this?[/glow]

"Already ahead of you Cross, already there. I think it would be fitting if we saw a bit of preview material of the coming Pay Per View showcase Karma & Effect. Picture this my friend..."
He pauses for a few seconds, noticing he had caught the attention of all three men in the room, his hands held up in a manner forming what seemed to be...Yes, a picture frame in deed. He finished with...
"Jason Cross...The Nationwide Champion Joe Bruiser AND...Sarah Andrews-Cross!..."
Another pause as he noticed that the last name added to the first team struck a chord in Vegas. Apparently he had chosen wisely and could prove helpful in the coming "games"...If you will, Then...
"VERSUS...APW World Heavyweight Champion King...Vegas...Tha Infamous 187...And the newest addition to the Familia faction Miss Ashley Cameron...Lamia! That my good men, IS...Blockbuster booking. Ha Ha! Your thoughts?"
