Lindsay sat in the car, her shades pulled down just enough so she could see over them. Toronto. Beautiful Toronto. She never thought she'd be back here. Especially under these circumstances. She looked over at the man next to her in the car. She never thought she be here with him. Never thought they'd actually be doing something like this together. It was....peaceful. For once in her life things were at peace. But she knew that was all about to change. It was wrestling season. And APW had been left alone. No one to run it. Nothing. The three of them had pooled every fund they could find, took out the loans they needed to take. This was a go big or go home type of effort. They needed this to work out. Or the debt would eat them alive. A smile crossed her slender face. Lips moving up ever so slightly to catch his attention. He reached out and placed his hand on her thigh and gave it a squeeze. Toronto really was home.
This is it...isn't it. This is where we start.
She smiled to him as the car came to a stop outside of the newly renovated APW Tower. It was better then before. Looked amazing. Maybe she just missed this place to much. Maybe she needed to come back soon. But...she was home. Finally she was home.

His hands were gripped tight on the steering wheel the entire drive here. An obvious difference for a man who normally lets his left arm sway freely out the open window at his side. He was tense to say the least. But, they had arrived. This, this was it. Not the first time he had felt this feeling. Hopefully the first that actually reaches a true potential though.
"I....I guess so. I think we're suppose to be meeting our third wheel here, aren't we?"
A mixture of adrenaline and nervousness, not a good combination. It left him in a state of not really knowing what to do. Thank god he had her here with him. Something he would have never guessed to have happened in a million years. She was always the level headed one though, usually thinking things through and having a plan. She would know what they needed to do from here.
"So.....Should we go inside?"

Yeah. We should go in.
Lindsay smiled as she slowly opened her door. Stepping out into the brisk cold Canadian breeze. She pulled her Columbian jacket tightly around her. Her blue ear muffs were a bit tight but they were sure doing their job. Bringing her hands to her mouth she blew on them to keep them warm.
You wouldn't happen to have any gloves would you Greg?
She smiled to him as she peered at the tower. This was it. She was excited, but it didn't show on her face. She knew the road ahead was going to be long and hard. Hopefully Katanna would be ready for this too. Speaking of Katanna, Lindsay scanned the parking lot looking for her. She should be arriving soon. At least from the text messages she made it sound that way. 4:15pm meet at the tower. Thats what it had said.

Sure enough Katanna was there waiting for the arrival of the other two. She had spent a good portion of the last season working in this tower and she wasn't about to let things go without a fight. Muttering to herself as the two young people approached she waited at the doors to the tower for them. I hope this doesn't backfire on me or worse, because there aren't a whole lot of options left open if this doesn't work. She put a smile on her face as the other two Co-CEO's approached and waved them over. It was time to head inside and get out of the cold. [/center]

Reaching into the front pouch like part of his hoody as they approach Kantanna, Shaddix removes a pair of black gloves decorated by red and orange flames. Hot damn, he didn't actually expect those to be there. Tossing them to Lindsay, not expecting her to actually realize what was happening quick enough and drop them...
"Catch!"
And wouldn't you know, she catches them out of mid air like a pro. Hmph, way to ruin his fun...
"Hello Katanna...Hope we didn't keep you here waiting to long.."
Opening the door and motioning for the two women to enter...
"Ladies first...."

Lindsay smiled as she entered the tower. It was how she remembered. A little empty. But amazing. She felt like it was the first time she ever walked in here. It was majestic almost...Lindsay Corban stood firmly and proud right inside the doors of the Angel's Tower. She seemed slightly awed by its size and beauty. Its not very often she was in big cities. Small towns and farms had surrounded her, her entire life. This was all new to her, but she was ready to tackle anything. Shaking the idiotic look of amazement off her face she hustled towards the reception desk. So long ago...yet so vivid in her mind.Thanks Greg. She looked back to wards him. She hadn't said thank you for him holding the door for her. He was becoming more of a gentleman each day. Maybe he was coming around...But only time can tell. Looking to Katanna her business face now on, she looked over the entire lobby.How are the renovations? Have the completed?

Katanna smiled as she answered the question. [/center] So far everything is moving according to schedule. We have even had a few wrestlers already send word that they would be resigning with APW again this year including the man to waer the world championship as the season came to an end last year, as well as a few other high profile signings I've had copies of their contracts left for each of you in your offices. [/i][/center] She stepped inside the door continuing to speak as she entered the building. [/center] I have to admit to a certain degree of uncertainty here. I'm still surprised the two of you were willing to try this with so much at risk and the fact that you still have lots of time left to activly wrestle at your age, you either truly loved this place or like taking risks.

Lindsay smiled and shot Greg a sly look. He tried to look away like, "What are you talking about me take risks?" She just laughed a little bit.
Yeah...I think it was a little bit of both. This place was good to me for a while. This is where I started, I'd like to repay that favor, help someone new get the same start I did. And of course, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.
Lindsay took a few more steps heading to wards the elevators. She noticed the lights for them weren't on but the rest of this floor had lights.
Are the top floors still under reconstruction? Or are the elevators just off at the moment? I guess someone would have to pay the electric bill...

Yes the top floors are still being worked on at this time, mostly just the finishing touched now but they tell me the elevators have to be left off until done just as a safety precaution. The bills are fine for the moment there was of course enough money left in the company name to keep things paid over the off season but that partiular well has run nearly dry so we will need to bring in some revenue soon Katanna led the way to a ground floor room that she had specifically set up as offices for them until the rest of the construction finished. I've taken the liberty of setting up a tempotary office for us here on the ground floor. We should only need it for a short time but it saves quite the walk up those stairs. If there is anything else you would like to know feel free to ask and I'll answer what I can.

Shaddix eyes shift from side to side. Oh how he longed to see the upper offices of this building. The still forbidden 'top floor'. He had 'experienced' it as a wrestler...but now....Now he wanted to feel it...absorb it...basically, make it his bitch...as its new Co-Ceo.
"I'm liking it Katanna. You've done a great job. Just can't wait to see the actual offices. Though, guess this little setup isn't to bad for now. At least, it'll make due....."
He begins to poke around this little temporary office area for a moment. Leaving the two women to play grown ups and talk business and all that stuff....

Lindsay looked around the make shift offices....
How quickly can we push to have the top floor finished? I want to get things as much back to normal here as quickly as possible... I don't know how big of a roster we are going to be able to get...or handle...You have any word on confirmed returning superstars Katanna?

Katanna stopped thinking for a moment and pulled a small PDA from her jacket pocket. Tapping a few buttons she then stopped and spoke up. Hmm if I have them shift the focus to the top floors we can be ready there before the end of the week but it will delay the opening of the arena itself until the first week of Feburaruy which should be fine since no shows are scheduled to air until then at the earliest. As for returning superstars so far we have a few. Jason Cross has called and expressed an intresting in resigning with the company as well as Joe Bruiser and Michelle Tosso, possibly the Xavier brothers as well, there may be more but I don't have the complete list with me at this time. As we are still waiting for everyone to get word about the reopening, so I'm sure there will be others it's only a matter of time.
