�Alliances��

�They come and go� some are out of necessity and others of just marriages of convenience. But when one takes place� heads usually turn. So is the case with most everyone� except The Circle. When alliances are formed there� heads not only turn� they roll��

4:45 PM� 30 September, 2000
CTN Towers, New York City, New York

Trace VanReardon walked into The CTN executive office and paused. A confused look passed over his face as saw both Catherine Jones and Mary Jane Francis Jr. down on their hands and knees in the middle of the floor. Trace frowned�

Trace: Ahhhhhh�. I�m interrupting something here�

MJ looked over at Cat, then back to Trace. MJ let out a disgusted snort, got to her feet, and walked across the room to her desk. Cat looked over at MJ and shook her head as she stood up and looked at Trace�

Cat: No Mr. VanReardon� you�re not interrupting, not at all. Ms. Francis and I were just in the process of redecorating. How do you like it?

Cat stands back and Trace looks down at the floor and sees a line of white tape running down the center of the office. Cat walks over to her side of the office and takes a seat behind her desk�

Cat: It seems that Ms. Francis and I were at an impasse over the disposition of this office�

MJ put her feet on the desk and stuck her tongue out at Cat�

MJ: It was my office first!

Cat laughs and shakes her head at MJ�s childish outburst�

Cat: Thus� the solution� until I get my company back at least.

MJ: Dream on b*tch!

Cat smiles as she ignores MJ and gestures for Trace to take a seat. MJ gets to her feet and points at Cat�

MJ: You assume that he�s here to see you? How arrogant! He�s probably here to ask me to get The Olympic Title back for him!

Trace looks at MJ, then turns and sits in the chair across from Cat. MJ rolls her eyes and sits down in her seat and folds her arms with a frown�

Trace: I was looking for you Cat� I needed to talk to you about Stephanie�

Trace looked over his shoulder at MJ as she pretended to be reading the newspaper. Trace turned back to Cat�

Trace: Can we talk somewhere else?

Cat grins and looks over at MJ with a smile�

Cat: Excuse me dear� but your paper is upside down.

MJ looks up from her paper and tosses it down�

MJ: B*tch!

Cat smiles and gets up as she gestures for Trace to follow her�

Cat: Come on� let�s talk about your problem�

Trace follows Cat out of the office. As Cat passes the secretary, she leans over the desk and winks at her�

Cat: Do me a favor� give her about three minutes� then I want you to burst through that door and tell that conniving little wench to stay the hell on her own damn side of the room� thanks�

Cat and Trace walk through the halls of CTN as he explains Stephanie�s condition to her. Cat listens to everything Trace has to say. Cat and Trace finally stop on the roof of the executive tower. Cat turns to Trace after a few moments and looks at him pointedly�

Cat: The long and the short of this is that you want me to make Connor a member of The Circle� because you believe that will afford her some additional protection from the person or persons you believe hurt her.

Cat walks past Trace and clasps her hands behind her�

Cat: Quite a quandary� quite a quandary indeed.

She turns to Trace�

Cat: I sympathize with you Trace� I really do� but The Circle isn�t some little club that you are merely inducted into. If we took just anyone�

Trace: Then The Circle would be without any titles and bickering among themselves?

Cat turns to Trace and raises and eyebrow�

Cat: Good point. But there is no give without some take. If I was to make this concession� what would I gain? She�s no good to me outside the ring.

Trace: She�s The GWA Commissioner� that�s gotta be worth something to you!

Cat nods�

Cat: She is that� yes indeed. But right now I need loyalty Trace� these are difficult times for us all� I�m sure you understand. The Circle has never been a cohesive unit� ever. But we�ve always had a leader to unify effort for the good of the whole. Right now� the talent level is at an all time high� but what do I have? Craven is doing God knows what! Jordan is running around shoving tampax up people�s asses! The OutLaw shows up one week and then puts his little girlfriend in the match for him the next week!

Cat looks at Trace and shakes her head with a laugh�

Cat: And we won�t even presume to talk about you my boy! The bottom line is this� in time� I could bring order to what�s left of The Circle. But I need people who are willing to do what needs to be done� without question when the time is right. Is Stephanie someone I can count on?

Cat puts her hand on Trace�s shoulder and looks into his eyes�

Cat: Are you?

Trace watches her for a moment or two more before he answers�

Trace: I am� you can count on me. So long as you do this for me.

Cat smiles and walks to the edge of the observation deck as she looks out over the skyline�

Cat: Alright Trace� you and I have an agreement. Connor is now counted among our ranks� but here and now the dissention on your part stops. There are no decisions that you or Connor make that effect The Circle in anyway that do not go through me first. Understood?

Trace: Completely�

Cat nods without even looking at him�

Cat: I understand that you have an agendia� you need to know who is responsible for Cage�s attack on Connor. I have no problem with that� but just as well� I have a nephew in very much the same predicament. I�ll ask you not becomes so engrossed with your own search that you forget that needs of the whole. Blood is thicker than water� and someone has taken it upon themselves to spill my dearest blood on the ground as if he were a commoner. You have a need for revenge� just as I do. But you can count on me not to lose sight of the big picture� so long as you do the same� our bargain will remain intact� do we understand one another?

Trace: Perfectly�

Cat: Very well then� from this point on� Mary Jane Francis does not dictate terms to you that effect the direction that I and I alone set for you or The Circle as a whole. Should she give you instructions of any type� you will verify the validity of them through me first before carrying them out. Further� any information I impart to you is to be kept in the strictest confidence. If you have a problem with another member of the group� you will present you disagreement to me� and I will be the one to settle it.

Cat turns to Trace�

Cat: This goes for you and Connor as well. I don�t make a habit of dictating terms� but I�m willing to do whatever I need to in order to bring this group under control and return it to the prominence it once held. The same goes for Jordan and Shadow� as for Ms. Winston and The OutLaw� they are welcome to join me in getting everything I think they all deserve� or continuing to dwell in the chaos that MJ has created. I don�t prefer the latter�

Cat steps down and joins Trace�

Cat: Now that that�s done� let�s talk strategy shall we?

Trace: Sure� but where do we start?

Cat smiled�

Cat: Why don�t we start with the men you suspect are behind this injury Ms. Connor� our Ms. Connor�

Trace smiled as the scene faded to black�
