Leon: Hey Tommy, this is Leon...
He has not shown up.

[Other side]

Leon: Yeah I am sure I am on the
>right subway car. I have been riding around for almost
>two hours and I have almost been robbed four times. I
>am about ready to give up on this.

[other side]

Leon: Alright man, I will hang
out for a bit more. Thanks for the heads up on the
paranoid thing. That is the last thing I need is him
going after me again.

[Leon hangs up the phone and a good
ten minutes go by and a few more stops until at a stop
right as the doors are about to close a man in a long
black duster steps out of the shadows and onto the
subway car. The man is Furious Steele of course and
his long black straggly hair is covering his eyes but
the scowl on his lips is very clear. His duster is
closed so all you can see is his black army boots and
the bottom of his blue jeans. Steele has a black
aluminum baseball bat on his side and cautiously
approaches Leon before sitting across from him. The
man in the dress was moving closer to Leon at every
stop is now only a few seats away but after looking at
Furious he decides to head to the back of the car.]

Leon: You know I have been on this
car for a few hours waiting for you? What took so
long? I have been through that stop a half a dozen
times.

Furious: Shut up Leon... Your time is
no concern to myself.... You have been given a chance
to speak with the Furious One to help your television
ratings.. Take your opportunity and be thankful it was
given to you...

Leon: ok then... Lets start with
your match last week at insurrection. It appears that
Joey Jackson and Sebastian Bock have formed some kind
of alliance but you and Crisis came out on top after
Goliath got involved and pounded Bock.

Furious: Your skewed view of the
events does not surprise me Sphinx. Your paychecks are
signed by Johnny Storm after all. When this match was
originally signed people could not understand what was
going on. The rumor backstage was that this match was
just a way to do the ppv ahead of time and have Bock
and Steele go one on one and Crisis and Jackson could
handle their business, but that was not the case.
Storm used this match to try to set up Crisis and The
Furious One to take the fall. Two men who have nothing
in common and no love for each other against two men
that are secretly allied. No if anything this was
Storm's latest plan on trying to destroy the Furious
One in his very own match. As for Goliath he did the
rare thing in this organization. He did the fair
thing... He called the match right down the middle and
stood up for himself.. Sebastian Bock can not win when
things are not tilted in his favor... Another week
goes by and once again Sebastian Bock ends up laying
at the feet of the Furious One.. Bock still has not
done anything to desire a title shot except stroke
something of Johnny Storms.

Leon: Alright I want to move onto
later in the card. Bock, and Jackson came down and
may have cost Scott Adams aka Goliath a chance at
defeating Nikki Silver for the Gladiator championship.
Why did you come out and save Adams?

Furious: Adams could have easily sold
out to the powers that be and turned on myself and
Crisis as the ref and made sure that we lost the match
and ended up on the injured reserve. Backstage Storm
tried several times to bribe Adams an he stood for
what was right...It was a simple matter of paying
Adams back, unfortunately it was too late.. Storm had
some of his guards waiting backstage for me when Bock
first came out of to the ring and it took me too long
to fight through them...

Leon: What do you know about
Jeremy Maddox? Besides that he is allied with Bock
and Jackson, and of course that he blind sided you and
Crisis..

Furious: Everybody takes a beating
now and then. The difference is that I am not going to
whine like a bitch about it like Bock has done for the
last month. They out maneuvered the Furious One but
they made a crucial mistake and did not finish the job
when they could.. All three of them will get what is
coming to them sooner or later...Once they let down
their guard the Furious One will be there to stick the
knife into their back.. What do I know about Jeremy
Maddox? He is another follower that Johnny Storm has
drummed up to help Bock in the war he is so badly
losing...We will see what Maddox is about when it is
his turn to take the pain... Any thug can thump
heads.. A very few can actually take the thumping and
still stand up for themselves... Only time will tell
on Maddox...

Leon: In that match Crisis can
down and helped you save Adams and after both of you
took a beating from Bock, Jackson, and Maddox you
proceeded to nail Crisis with the Hand Full of Hate
for NO reason. The guy came out there to help you for
crist sakes.

Furious: Once again such a skewed
view on reality.. Crisis came out there to get a piece
of Joey Jackson.. If anything he should be thanking
the Furious One for winning our match for him.. He
surely was not getting the job down...

Leon: But why attack him for no
reason?

Furious: Everybody is the enemy
Leon... As far as you know the next second he would
have slapped on his finisher and tried to end my
career... If he is not strong enough to defend himself
he got exactly what he deserved...

Leon: What about this week? The
two of you have been signed to face in a Last Man
standing match for the Olympic title. He is demanding
this match for what you did to him. Going into Anguish
picking up this title could give you that little extra
boost to put you over the top.

[Steele springs across the walkway
and grabs Leon by the throat and gets face to face
with him and speaks in a very quiet voice.]

Furious: Does it look like the
Furious One needs an extra boost?

[Leon struggles to speak as oxygen
is cut off from him.]

Leon: n, no.... no... my mistake..

[Steele slowly backs away from Leon
and sits back down.]

Furious: If Crisis wants to take on
the Furious One in Survival of the Fittest then we
will dance, but the title is not on the line as far as
I am concerned...

[Leon clears his throat.]

Leon: You don't want a title shot?

Furious: There is no doubt of the
prestige of the Olympic title but with it comes the
shackles of responsibly.. If I were to capture that
title it would give Johnny Storm more leverage to
control my destiny.. This match is not about gold
anyways.. This is about two warriors entering the
arena to see who is the superior... Be ready to suffer
Crisis.. This will not be for the weak of heart...

Leon: Are you concerned about Bock
and his goons trying to take you out during this match?

Furious: They will make their
presences felt without a doubt. Certainly our new
commissioner will do nothing to stop them from coming
down. Daher would like nothing better then seeing the
Furious One get his ass kicked.. Most likely because
he could never do it himself..

Leon: So your saying Daher will
not do a fair job.

Furious: No what I am saying is Daher
is a pawn to Storm.. Added with the fact that Daher
has got his ass kicked from arena to arena by the
Furious One for the last six months he will try to get
his revenge.. Daher, that title will not save you from
my wraith... Real soon you will be seeing the Furious
One up close and personal...

Leon: I do not think it is smart
to threaten every person in power in the federation.

Furious: That is because you are a
coward Leon..That is no threat though.. That is a
promise... Daher had his chance for security and he
did not take it.. Nothing can protect him now... Not
retirement.. Not a commissioner role.. Not a fucking
Army... I OWN Daher's ass now.... He will be my toy
of amusement to punish whenever I see fit.... Just
like the Outlaw will be my toy once the title is
around my waist.... Expect I will not punish the
Outlaw.. I will teach him what it takes to attain
greatness. I will form him into the greatest creature
of destruction that the world of wrestling has ever
seen...

Leon: Only a few weeks until you
face Nikki Silver and I still have not got the full
story of what happened in the past from either of
you... What do you got to say on it Steele?

Furious: You will be contacted in a
few days with an address.. Meet me there and you will
get your story...

[The subway comes to a stop and
Steele makes his way out of the car. Leon starts to
follow him but Steele turns around and gives him an
evil stare, and Leon takes a seat. The scene fades
with Steele disappearing into the shadows of a
hallway.]
