His wife had welcomed him back home. After being released from the hospital in Iowa, Hollows sat on his front porch back in Independence Missouri. Watching the birds play, hearing the dogs barking, his mind was set on one thing. His phone. No one had called him since he had been released. It really surprised him. It was all over the news about him disappearing, then turning up in an Iowa area hospital....
But most of all, the secret he and Amber held from Shaddix, somehow telling him just hadn't happened. They had started dating back when Hollows first met her, and got married by the time they were 19. And now Shaddix had a niece, that he didn't know was his niece. Things had gotten complicated while Hollows took his year long vacation, after the plane crash, and after being kicked out by Amber, he disappeared of the face of the planet.....
He looked up from his phone, and began watching his year old daughter Kasey play in the yard with the younger kids in the neighborhood. Living in the city was something he wanted to get away from, knowing everything that went on, from gang shootings to police brutality. He thought about packing up and moving his newly reformed family to the country, where he wouldn't have to worry like he did here.....
"Whats wrong hun? You've been sitting out here for hours...just staring at your phone..."
Oh...hey...yeah...Im just waiting. Trying to figure out why your brother, and no one else has called. But I'm wondering something else...I...I don't wanna lose you...or Kasey...again. I'm wondering if it's about time I call it quits....and retire.....
"You dont need to retire. We've been through alot...had our problems...but we were young. Only 19 when we got married...two years ago. Things have changed since then...You should continue to do what you love...and I'll support you along the way. If we have to move...so be it....Whatever it takes to make things work...."
She continued to try and talk him out of retiring....and he was beginning to agree with her. He wanted out of the city....out of Missouri if possible....Then finally the moment he had been waiting for....his phone to ring. He opened the phone...but he didn't recognize the number. He answered it to see who it was....
Hello? |

Cory, it's Michael Xavier. Been wondering how you've been since the off season started. [/b] It was most likely a shock for Cory to get a call from Michael. They had been feuding throughout the season. But that was business. Bow that the offseason is starting, it was time to put feuds aside.[/i][/center] |

Who...What the hell are you calling for?
He was a bit confused...not expecting a Xavier to call him... |

Well, it's the off season now. I figured I'd give you a call see how things were and such. But hey, if you don't wanna talk, just say so and I'll hang up now. I figured I'd show some niceness, show there's no hard feelings, but there's gonna be hostilities... [/b] Michael waited for Corey's response back. At this point, he could pretty much predict what Corey was going to respond with.[/i][/center] |

*Click*
He really didnt want to talk with a Xavier. They had been friends at one point...over a year ago...but that had changed...and at this moment in his life he really didnt want to change that.
As soon as he closed his phone though, it began to ring again...and he answered with a swift hello. |

[glow=blue,2,300]"Damn caller ID.....Yeah, hows it going man? Those bitch ass doctors wouldn't let me in your room to see you. They forced me to go hostile. And well...I sorta got kicked out. But hey, I'm calling you now at least...Be happy you got that much."[/glow]
Shaddix lets out a short laugh, a sign he was only kidding...
[glow=blue,2,300]"So whats up man? Where you at?"[/glow] |

I see...they let your sister in...but not you? Thats odd. Anyway...Im sitting on my porch...watching the kid play...wondering why we hadn't heard from ya. Things were definately weird as hell back in Iowa...if thats even where we were....
He let out a short laugh...and began to pace back and forth on the hardwood covered floor....
Where exactly are you at man...? |

They...let his sister in? What the hell was HIS sister doing in Iowa to see Corey? And what the hell did he mean by "WE hadn't heard from you"? Was she there? He hadn't seen Amber in what seemed like a year or so....Why the hell would she be hanging out with Corey now?
[glow=blue,2,300]"Um...huh?...Oh...yeah, yeah...I'm in KC too. Sitting in the Taco Bell drive-thru at the moment....Heading towards Independence though...Hey, tell you what....I'm running outta time on my cell phone....so why don't I just stop by and see you in say...oh....twenty minutes? Alright? Catch ya then bro...."[/glow]
Before even getting a yes or no response, Shaddix flips his black motorola razor shut, hanging up. His cheap ass was still using the phone that Tyson whatever douche gave him almost a year ago? Damn....
Anyways......It was about time for him to see what was going on with Amber... |

Um...yeah....that's not...such.......
Dial tone...the fucker had hung up on him. He turned around and picked his little Kasey up...and headed back towards the house. He handed the child to Amber...and spoke..
You'll never guess you just called me. Your brother. He's on his way now....I guess we'll have to finally break the news to him....
"Woah, woah...wait a minute...he's coming here...tonight...but..."
Im sure he'll be fine with it.....I hope....but lets just calm down...and welcome him in...
He dropped his phone on the counter...and made his way to the living room, and began staring out the front window..... |

Around forty or so minutes later, (fashionably late of course) a black camaro with a flame detail down both sides, (You know, the one the Familia jacked up back in New York.) pulls into Hollow's drive way. With the engine still running it sits there for a few seconds. Making Corey sweat it out, if he even noticed Shaddix's arrival yet that is. In all reality, Shaddix was just waiting for a song currently playing on the radio to end. And when it finally does, the car is shut off and the drivers side door finally opens. Emerging from the vehicle, of course, is Shaddix whom is dressed in a pair of black jeans and the newest Hardy Boyz t-shirt.
He nonchalatnly makes his way to the front door. Afraid of what he might find out about his sister when the door was finally open. He had his own little predictions as to what was going on. But he couldn't force himself to believe them...
Finally, he raises his hand and knocks on the front door three times...Followed by a loud...
[glow=blue,2,300]"Hello..is there anybody in there?"[/glow] |

And the shit is about to hit the fan.
Hollows walks over to the door....and slowly...reaches down toward the knob.....and begins the opening process.... |

As the door slowly creeps open, thousands of thoughts flow through Shaddix's mind. What if? If it was true, what would he do? How would he handle it? Could he remain calm? Nope...
As the door opens just enough for him to get a glimpse inside, the first thing Shaddix sees is Amber holding the child. That was it. All he needed to put two and two together. That bastard he called his best friend Corey, had violated his little sister!
[glow=blue,2,300]"You son of a....."[/glow]
Without hesitation, Shaddix pulls his fist back then launches it forward into the side of Corey's face. A hard enough blow to knock his ass to the ground. With a hurt look on his face...Shaddix can only look down in disbelief....
[glow=blue,2,300]"How....how could you?"[/glow] |

Didn't think that'd ever happen did ya....
He wasnt going to take that shit. He launched himself back at Greg...tackling him right back out the door. The fight had begun. They through punches...and well....guess you know the rest.
While the two were going at it...Kasey began to cry...and Amber began screaming at the both of them.
"Both of you stop it...stop this now...."
Hollows threw another punch....connecting with the side of Shaddix's head. He got up...and turned back toward the house...getting to the door when..... |

Unbeknownst to the two men duking it out, there was someone watching them. But you wouldn't know it. Across the street from the house was an old, rusty plumber van. Sitting inconspicuously across the street with no one in the front seats. Looking like the van was empty. But there was a small hole on the side of that van. It was not a noticeable hole for it was pretty small. He would be in the back of the van. Staring through that hole in the van and watching the two men fighting. This brought a sadistic smile to his face. He was enjoying what he was seeing. It was only further driving the two men apart from each other. He laughed maniacally to himself...
"Hehehehhehehehehehehehe! That's it.... Fight.... Fight some more...."
He continued to watch to see how this situation further progresses.

Slowly, Shaddix makes it back up to his feet. His thoughts clouded, no good outcome was to come of this. It never did when he got this way.
He quicky walks up to Corey, spins him around, and drops him down hard face first with an Incinerator onto his front porch.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Mess with this fire.....Your ass gets burned...."[/glow]
Shades of Blaze ring out through Shaddix's voice in that last sentence. He begins to pull himself to his feet, but before he makes it, he is met with a strong kick to the gut. Amber had put the baby down in her crib and now was playing the peacemaker. Well, this wasn't exactly peaceful...But it was breaking up the fight....Hopefully...
"Get off him!!...Damn it Greg!....Why do you have to be like this?"
She kicks him hard again, trying to force him away from Corey.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Because! Your my sister! And he's my best friend....And you kept it from me!....You two shouldn't be together!!"[/glow]
Attempting to make it to his feet again, Shaddix succeeds this time. Only to recieve a cold slap across the face for his troubles.
"Its not your decision....Stop playing the big brother role....I'm old enough to make my own decisions now...."
Had she really just....slapped him? She had never slapped him before. It was weird, for being brother and sister they had never really even fought before....
[glow=blue,2,300]"Fine....If you want a new family...want to forget your real family for that bastard....Then do it.....goodbye.."[/glow]
With that, Shaddix turns his back to them. His head, body, heart...all throbbing with pain....Life was truly coming to and end as he knew it....
Without even giving them a second glance, he enters his car, turns the key in the ignition, starts it up and pulls out of their drive way. His mind overflowing with thoughts and emotions, he has no clue what to do or where to go now. So, he just drives.... |

Corey got up as the car sped away. This wasnt exactly what he had in mind after telling him...hell, he actually didnt say a word to him.
Holding his head...he nudged Amber aside to get into the house, heading straight to his phone. As he picks it up Amber walks in talking.
"What was that all about? Why did you have to attack him back. You could have....."
Listen....no one...and I mean NO ONE...hits me and gets away with it. I dont care if it was Greg. If he didnt wanna know, he shouldnt have come here. Its over now.
"No Corey...its not over. Did you see what I just did? Well did ya? I kicked my own brother out of our house. How am I suppose to live with that?"
Look baby...Im sorry. I really am...but what else do you want me to do?
His phone begins ringing...again...another number he didnt recognize.
"Well...for starters...you can put that phone down...and try to work through this with me. He was pissed to alright, and I dunno if he'll ever talk to me again...."
Look....I told you I was sorry. Its not like I can call him up and apologize for sleeping with his sister. What since would that make...really...Man...if this damn phone dont quit ringing....
Amber apparently pissed, turns around...grabs the baby...and storms off upstairs. Corey begins to go after her...but the ringing of his phone keeps him there. He opens the phone...and answers...
Who the f*ck is this...and what the hell do ya want? |

After watching the scene that had unfolded before him, he had taken great joy in what he had seen. It was exactly what he thought would happen. It only further proved what he had tried to show the man known as Psycho. It seemed that he had learned absolutely nothing. He had taken his cell phone in his hand and called up Psycho. It was time to let the mind games begin again. He dialed the number to Psycho's house, in which he had acquired the number during the time he spent torturing this soul. He sat there for a moment as he listened to the phone ring. Awaiting an answer from the other end. Moments later, he heard the familiar voice that belonged to Psycho. This brought that smile back to his face. He went ahead and responded to him in the distorted voice that Psycho may recognize...
"Hello Psychotic One...."

He recognized the voice...but for some reason instead of hangin up the phone...he let the call continue. He began to have flashbacks from when he was kidnapped in Iowa....
Who is this? |
