[King Vegas]

Installment 1

Following his...Most uncomfortable reunion of sorts with his lady Laura, King Vegas now sat in the confines of his personal suite of the Angel Tower. He sat impatiently for a call that was already a few minutes behind of schedule. Just as he began pondering whether or not he should be the aggressor and phone himself the cell phone seated beside him on the couch of his room began ringing...When he answered...

[glow=red,2,300]Yes...[/glow]

Cross. I take it HE hasn't arrived as of yet?...What exactly IS the hold up? We have objectives that must be put into motion as soon as humanly possible...

A long sigh is released from his body as he hears the voice of his good friend who he had waited for confirmation from...He chimes in...

[glow=red,2,300]Of course Warrington...Of course...But he is not the sort of individual who just..."Pops up" so to speak...Every movement he makes is specific and strategic as well...I'm sure he will make his presence known soon enough my friend...Do not fret...[/glow]

I see...I see...And what of your "reunion" with Ms. De'Icco? Did everything go...

[glow=red,2,300]No need to worry about that Warrington. I handled her. Now where are you exactly?...[/glow]

After a brief moment of laughter from the caller he chimes in with...


I'm where I'm supposed to be Cross...Ha Ha...You always worry too much my friend. What? Did you believe I made my way back to Atlanta?...Or worse?...Ha Ha...

[glow=red,2,300]Of course not...I just do not intend on THESE plans going awry is all. Everything WILL go as planned this go around and no incompetent owners or CEO's will foil these plans. I can promise it. [/glow]

I am with you 100% Cross. As always of course. Have you received word from Raven?

[glow=red,2,300]Yes. We spoke briefly earlier this morning. Quite the job they've pulled off down there I must say. Better than I even planned for it to go. I'm VERY impressed with the progress...But...It all will mean absolutely nothing if THIS stage of the objectives fail Warrington...You DO know this don't you?...[/glow]

Oh I know full well of the importance and significance of the coming actions of our "family" Cross...Ms. Cox and myself are preparing for our parts as we speak...Suffice to say it WILL be a "doozy" to see how the wrestling industry reacts to THIS one...I almost can't wait for it. But I guess I must as it will take substantial time to execute to it's fullest...But...We can discuss more during my next visit in a week my friend...We of course have a flight to catch to see "him"...So until later Cross...

[glow=red,2,300]Of course Warrington...Of course...[/glow]

With that Vegas presses the End button intently...Slowly lowering the phone to the original spot it rested as his gaze began penetrating the walls adjacent to the spot where he pondered...His next...And most daunting task.

Installment 2


...One day after the first official showing of APW's Full Throttle, King Vegas sat in the confines of his and Laura's suite tentatively watching footage from the show. Though the Familia members involved in the show may not have secured victories, they showed great promise as always and he was quite sure that their future in ring endeavors would have a much more pleasant conclusion. Just as he begins rising from the couch he sat on beside Laura his phone just a few inches from him rang and as he retrieved it and answered...

[glow=red,2,300]Cross here...[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Good day my friend...I pray I haven't caught you at a bad time...We have not spoken in quite some time since your "family's"...Abrupt relocation so to speak...How are you on this day my friend?...[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Raven...Ha Ha...I'm good my friend...Very good...Things are coming along...Slowly but coming nonetheless. And on your end? How are you and the "Red Queen" getting along nowadays my friend?...
[/glow]

A deafening silence falls over the phone conversation as it seems, his good friend has no words to offer on the subject...He chimes back in...

[glow=red,2,300]Is there something wrong Raven?...[/glow]


[glow=red,2,300]Of course not Cross...Of course not...Everything is under control. No need to worry. But I was contacting you to see had you spoken with Mr. Steele as of late? In my attempts to contact him, I had absolutely no success as of late.
[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Yes. I know of his abrupt absence. It's beginning to weigh on my patience as well I must say Raven. He knows the itinerary for the fold and that constant contact has to be maintained between all parties. [/glow]


[glow=red,2,300]Hmm...I see. This is unfortunate. His help could certainly be used as of late. A man with the business savvy of Mr. Steele can always be highly effective in situations such as these Cross...You must get in contact with him my good man. And soon...[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Of course Raven. I will continue to attempt to speak with him but...I get the feeling we won't hear from him until he's prepared to speak with us...But no matter my good friend. We both have other "things" to worry about at the moment in time do we not?...
[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]You are correct sir. You are correct. And one of those "things"...Needs tending to right this moment as well. My belle is in need of care for a few minor injuries she suffered at the hands of one of these most undeserving roster spot holders...I do believe the time for this conversation to come to it's conclusion is upon us Cross...If any new developments come into the light, I gather you WILL be in contact with myself or Mr. Pryor?...
[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]I can assure you I most certainly will Raven.
[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Good. Until that moment in time my friend...
[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Until then...[/glow]

With that the young King Vegas ends the phone call...Pressing the end button on the face of the device as he stares at it for a few seconds before placing it back down on the couch beside him. Then his mind begins to wonder just where WAS his long time partner in crime. They had very important business matters to discuss and his patience for the man's absence was growing thicker by the second. He needed to speak with his associate...And soon...

...A mere 48 hours had passed since the conclusion of the young King Vegas' first bout inside of a APW ring. As always, his enforcer Kasino as well as Ms. De'Icco accompany him in the black limosuine en route to their flight to the next stop on the long line of cites the APW would be visiting during the course of the season. Seattle, Washington. Laura sits directly beside her king on a phone call with her good friend Ms. Williams as Mr. Vegas' phone then goes off itself and once he answers...

[glow=red,2,300]Cross here...Of course not my friend, of course not...Ha...Yes...Yes...I WAS watching in fact...Even knowing of the surprises in store I was still very much entertained at the showcase put on by yourself and our associates...Very well done I might add...Miss Claire and Ms. Mauler of course looked stunning as always...I'm sure you will my friend...I'm quite sure...If only I could be a fly on the wall of that oh so famous complex at this very moment...I bet the locals are "buzzing" so to speak...OR...Re-thinking their approach to their wrestling careers as well?...Ha Ha...How did I know you'd say that?...Ahhh yes my good man...I do love when a plan comes together sooo perfect...What's that?...Oh...Yes...I've received word of THAT news as well...Umm yes...Unfortunate it is...Yes it is...My only worry is concerning our Order brothers finding a new "home" so to speak...Is that so?...Mr. Pryor has not contacted me as of yet...But I'm sure he will in due time...No doubt the man has much on his mind as of right now...I have not the faintest trace of a doubt in the Mr. Pryor...He'll come through my friend...He will...Yes...En route now my friend, en route now...Of course...Until then...[/glow]

With that he ends the call turning his glare towards the glass in front of him in the direction of the driver as a smirk comes over his face...Pausing a moment as he makes eye contact with his life long friend Kasino, they both break out into a small moment of laughter over the recent developments "elsewhere"...Knowing that things concerning the Familia Regime Order may not be going just as planned but they WERE in fact "going"...The priceless smile on Vegas' face showed as much and to say he enjoyed this moment of confirmation would be a gross understatement...

[glow=red,2,300]Yes, Cross here...Of course proceed...And have you thought over my offer of an alliance sir?...Well I'm quite sure you have weighed those options. A man of your intelligence will undoubtedly always do so when concerning matters such as this...[/glow]

A brief pause falls over the phone conversation for a few seconds...The young mastermind listening intently as the caller relays his last statements...Then...

[glow=red,2,300]I see...I see...Allow me to ask though, what exactly does HE have to do with this situation?...Proceed...And then?...Of course I've heard of him and his talents he brings to the table...But does he wish TO receive this..."Help"...If you will?...I see...Well monetary supplements are no matter to a man such as myself my friend, so anything which is needed can easily be arranged...Now I must ask will this sway you in the direction of joining in our international crusade sir?...Ha Ha...A good business man you are sir...Always...Always in negotiation of course...Well I can assure you that there are a FEW up to standard talents on the roster of Action Packed Wrestling...Enough to satisfy your cravings for competition that is...I'm quite sure you wish to step back into the squared circle as soon as possible?...Yes...I am aware yes I am...Well the offer still stands and you would of course be welcomed with open arms sir...I'm sure you will...And give our mutual friend my best...Here's to him once again showing the world just how money and power keeps this very planet on it's axis...Yes...Until then my friend...
