Break Up: Part 2

==========

Off Camera

==========

Angelica and Kayla Jones have reset their focus on winning back the SCW World Tag Team Championship sometime this new year of 2017.  Despite a disappointing start, a disqualification loss to Tainted Justice on Breakdown, the Sisterhood still feels confident in their ability to accomplish this goal.  They are one of very few teams to hold not just one but two tag team victories over the former year-long running tag team champions Autumn Valentine and Gable Winchester.  They also recently defeated Sloan Sawyer and Diana Weston, The Daughters of Darkness, at an SCW House Show.  Momentum is on their side as they continue their march through the tag team division and, hopefully, towards their eventual goal of a tag team title shot.

The Sisterhood realize also that there is still much work to be done before they reach that goal.  There is still quite a journey left before they reach their end game.  Part of this journey will include the opportunity to avenge their loss to Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman, an opportunity that will come along at the next SCW pay per view Hazardous Envy.  Losing is bad enough, but to lose by disqualification was painful.  Angelica and Kayla know that they can beat Tainted Justice if they are given a fair shot.

Their last time facing the unique duo was definitely not a fair shot by any stretch of the imagination.  Vixen Cain manipulated the referee into thinking Angelica had used a chair in the match, thus causing the disqualification.  Granted, the chair may never have come into play at all had Angelica been able to control her own rage, but still, what’s done is done and now The Sisterhood wants revenge.

Unfortunately, this chance at revenge will not be a simple affair.  Team Desire will also be involved in this match.  This duo has already beaten The Daughters of Darkness not once but twice and, having amassed their own impressive string of tag team victories, believe that they deserve to be in contention for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

Team Desire’s inclusion in this match adds a new layer and dynamic to this match at Hazardous Envy.  Angelica and Kayla definitely want revenge against Tainted Justice, there is no doubting that, but winning this match, thus beating Team Desire as well, would make a strong case for The Sisterhood to get a shot at the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

They could potentially get their revenge and earn a future tag team title opportunity with one victory.

“Why the hell aren’t you picking up your damn phone?  Answer, Angelica!”

That’s the frustrated, borderline angry, voice of the younger half of The Sisterhood, the newly married Kayla Jones-Snow.  She’s been trying to get in touch with her older sibling, the other half of The Sisterhood Angelica Jones, ever since she woke up this morning in beautiful Boston, Massachusetts.  Unfortunately she had no luck in this regards and Mrs. Jones-Snow has a good idea in regards to why she cannot reach her older sister.

It wasn’t too long ago that The Sisterhood were in Nashville, Tennessee for SCW Breakdown.  Nashville is Angelica’s home away from home, seeing as she is a part time country music singer on top of being a full time wrestler for Supreme Championship Wrestling.  She loves it in Nashville and has very fond memories of music city, but this one incident from her stay in Nashville will haunt and scar her memory for quite a long time.

Angelica received word that her wife, Lindsey Carter, had come to Nashville.  Ordinarily that would not have been an issue, because Angelica always invites Lindsey to travel with her, but Lindsey rarely agrees to go traveling with her and she did not agree to go with her to Nashville this time.  Angelica found it very unusual that her wife would come to Nashville on her own after initially turning down the offer.  What would cause her to change her mind?

The answer became tragically clear when Lindsey confronted Angelica at their Nashville home.  Carter told Angelica that she wanted a divorce.  She wanted to break up with Angelica.

Kayla, for her part, was shocked that the marriage lasted as long as it did.  She did not approve of the marriage, not because of the homosexual aspect of it (Kayla agrees with gay marriage) but instead because of the fact that Lindsey was, initially, manipulated into the marriage.  Angelica tricked Lindsey into falling in love with her and then proceeded to trick her into signing a prenuptial agreement which would forfeit control of Lindsey’s company over to Angelica’s best friend Meagan Collins if a divorce were to take place.  And if Lindsey didn’t do whatever Angelica asked her to do, then Angelica could simply ask for a marriage and the company would be forfeited to Meagan that way.

The two ladies did seem to fall for one another for real over time but Kayla still felt as if the relationship would not last because it started on a wrong foot from the very beginning.  She hates that she was proven to be right and she does not intend to rub it in her sister’s face.  She’s not that kind of woman.  But she does need to find Angelica and make sure she is in the right frame of mind to compete at Hazardous Envy.

“Pick up, pick up, pick up!”

Kayla is pacing the floor like a caged lion with her iPhone placed against her hear.  She is in the living room of her Boston, Massachusetts home wearing a knee length floral print black skirt, a red blouse, and black high heeled pumps.  Her long red hair hangs long and flowing in waves down to just below the shoulders.  Her nails, both finger and toe, are painted a crimson red that matches her blouse.  A look of concern is etched across her face; concern for her sister and what may be going on with her right now, wherever she is.

Meanwhile Kayla’s husband, Trenton Snow, is sitting on their comfortable plush black leather sofa.  He watches as Kayla paces the floor, back and forth, waiting on a response.  A sly grin is on his face as she grows more and more frustrated until she finally gives up, hangs up the phone, and angrily throws it on the sofa.

“God damnit!”

“It isn’t the phone’s fault, babe.”

Trenton chuckles at this but Kayla is in no mood for laughter.  An icy glare is directed at her husband.

“What’s so funny, Trenton?!”

“You.  You’re overreacting, which is par for the course, and it is rather humorous.”

He picks up the phone and offers it back to Kayla.

“Throwing your phone?  Not smart.  At least it landed on the sofa.”

She rolls her eyes as she takes the phone back in her hand.

“You don’t get it, Trenton.”

Kayla sighs as she walks over and sits down next to Trenton on the sofa.  She leans back as he wraps a comforting arm around her shoulders and plants a kiss on her cheek.

“She’s my sister and I’m worried about her.”

“I get it, Kay.  I really do.  You and your sister are very close.  But understand what she just endured.  Lindsey is divorcing her and it was just suddenly thrust upon her without any warning.  She wasn’t expecting it.  I think she could use some time to grieve.”

Jones turns to look at Trenton and frowns skeptically.

“It isn’t like anyone died.”

“To her it must’ve felt like something died.”

Kayla rolls her eyes.

“Oh please, Trenton.  Their relationship began on a scandal and a lie.  It was destined to fail.”

“You know, they said the same thing about you and I.”

“That’s different.  You’re a good guy.”

Trenton nods his head.

“Right, and I proved it to you, just as Lindsey and Angelica proved it to one another.”

“Touché,”

Kayla sighs and shakes her head.

“Look, I’m just worried about worried that she’s making yet another mistake.”

“You can’t protect her forever.”

Trenton had been chuckling earlier but now it’s Kayla who is chuckling.

“Yeah, funny you use that word…protect…”

“Yeah?  So?”

“Angelica has always been overprotective of me.  It goes back to when we reunited after spending most of our teenage years apart.  She had been in a convent and I was in the foster home of an abusive drunk.”

Trenton can see the pained expression written across his wife’s face as she recalls these painful memories of her past.

“I know how hard this is for you, Kay, if you don’t…”

Kayla shakes her head and interrupts him.

“No, it’s ok.”

She sighs.

“Angelica blamed herself for the abuse I suffered while I was in Oliver Hardy’s foster care.”

“Well that’s ridiculous.  She didn’t even know where you were.”

“She didn’t even know if I was still alive.  So yeah, it was ridiculous, but she still blamed herself for it, Trenton.  That’s what sparked a great deal of her rage.  She blames it on herself and on her own terrible upbringing.  She blames it on witnessing our mother’s murder.  But I do think a lot of that whole Dragon persona boils down to her anger at what happened to me.”

Kayla reaches up and wipes some tears out of her eyes.

“She blamed herself for what happened to me and The Dragon was her way of punishing herself.”

Kayla looks over at Trenton with tear-filled eyes.

“So can you see it now, Trenton?  Do you see why I’m worried?  She felt guilt over me and mom and she created The Dragon to punish herself.  What might she do if she feels that level of guilt over Lindsey Carter?”

Trenton does indeed see the point his wife is trying to get across and he nods his head in agreement.

“Yeah, I get it.”

“That’s why I need to find her, Trenton.  That’s…”

Her iPhone rings.  Kayla realizes that this must be Angelica and she immediately whips it out and checks the ID.  Sure enough, it’s her older sister.  She quickly presses the button to answer the phone and then she places it to her ear.

“Angelica!  Where have you…”

Kayla pauses as her eyes grow wide, she listens carefully and intensely to what her sister is saying.  She nods her head.

“…ok, we’ll be there.”

Kayla hangs up the phone and turns to Trenton, who looks on quizzically.

“So what’s up?”

“That was Angelica.  She’s at home.”

“So?  You sound upset.”

“Yeah, well, that’s the thing.  She is at home…but so are the police.”

Scene 2

“You may want to be careful.”

Trenton Snow is trying to be level headed as his wife Kayla pulls up to the walkway that leads up to the front door of the Jones family home that Angelica currently occupies.  Kayla puts the car into park and then turns to face her husband Trenton.

“Angelica may have gotten herself into serious trouble here, babe.  The police are here for a reason and I doubt it’s for small talk.”

“Why would the police need to talk to Angelica?”

“Who knows?  Something must have happened, though, because Angelica sounded shaken up about the whole ordeal.”

She sighs.

“Oh Angelica, what have you done?”

“You say that with the assumption that Angelica is at fault.”

Kayla shoots Trenton a dagger like glare.

“I know my sister, Trenton.  She must be at fault.”

With that, before Trenton can stop her, Kayla opens the driver’s side door and exits the vehicle.  She runs up the walk way.  Trenton exits the passenger’s side and does his best to keep up, following his wife towards the front of the Jones family home.  Kayla is too quick and she reaches the front door way ahead of him.  She flings the door open.

“Angelica!”

Kayla rushes into the home ahead of Trenton Snow.  The old Jones family homestead which Angelica now resided was indeed Elizabethan, with wooden panels along the corridors, ornate chandeliers, and oil paintings from a variety of styles and time periods, showing off Angelica’s tastes in art.  Immediately inside there was a hallway that led deep into the dark.  To the right of the hallway is a long winding staircase that leads to the upstairs area.  This isn’t where Kayla wants to go.  She veers off to the left and into a tall galleried room with a rug spread out over flag-stones and a fireplace big enough to park a car in.

Over against the wall in the living room was a couch that has seen many years and many seasons.  Though beautifully designed the leather has been worn ever so slightly, and the signs are there with a few tiny tears and holes.  The once bright tan color has been bleached by the sun that streams in the window, the hue is now a friendly soft beige. 

The rest of the furniture was high end.  Every piece was hardwood and harked back to the Victorian era and not a scrap of it was more than a year old.  It looked comfortable and practical but by no means plush.  Sitting there for polite conversation was easy enough to imagine.  It was the perfect place to entertain polite company.

Unfortunately, the company that her older sister is keeping right now is with the police.  Angelica is sitting on said couch from earlier with one of Boston’s finest officers to her left.  Angelic and the officer stand up to greet Kayla as soon as her presence is noticed.

“Hi sis,”

Angelica motions to the officer.

“This is officer Justin Barber.”

Kayla shakes the officer’s hand.

“Uh, hi.  My name is Kayla Jones-Snow.”

Angelica motions to Trenton, who just entered the room behind Kayla.

“And that’s her husband, Trenton Snow.”

Trenton shakes hands with the officer.

“It’s a pleasure.”

Kayla’s look of concern has grown by the second, from the moment she and Trenton left their house and came over here.  She is nervous about the possibility that Angelica may be in trouble.

“Angelica, are you in any trouble?”

The officer shakes his head.

“Your sister isn’t in any trouble, ma’am.  This is just standard questioning.  That’s all.”

Kayla is unconvinced but nods her head nevertheless.  She follows Angelica and the officer over to the sofa.  Angelica sits down in the middle with the officer to her left and Kayla on her right.  Trenton, meanwhile, takes his spot in the armchair, which was something like a creamy leather marshmallow.  It was the kind of chair that molded around you and hugged y ou as much as supported you.  It provided far more comfort than the awkwardness that Angelica and Kayla must be feeling right now sitting next to a police officer, who questions them this very moment.

“Mrs. Jones-Snow, I just stopped by to ask a few questions about your sister-in-law; a Ms. Lindsey Carter.”

Kayla’s eyes grow wide.  Lindsey is Angelica’s wife who had demanded a divorce.

“Is anything wrong?”

“She went missing, ma’am.  Her family has filed a missing persons report and I’m looking into it.  That’s all.”

Kayla shakes her head.

“Well I can honestly say that I have not seen her in a very long time.  She used to travel with Angelica and I when we went on the road with SCW but she stopped that a long time ago.”

“Did Ms. Carter say anything about leaving or going anywhere?”

Again Kayla shakes her head.

“No, she never said anything to me.”

The officer scribbles some notes on his notepad.  Then he reaches into his pocket and produces a card.  He hands it to Kayla.

“This is my card, it has all of the information regarding how to contact me.  If you or your sister find out anything, let me know.”

“Yeah, we’ll do that officer.”

The officer stands up and turns and makes his exit out of the Jones family homestead.  As the front door is heard slamming shut, Kayla turns to face her sister inquisitively.

“What the hell happened?!”

“You heard him, Kay.  Lindsey went missing.  He wanted a statement from me.”

Kayla narrows her brow as she studies her elder sibling closely.

“What did you do to her?”

Angelica glares back at Kayla with a mix of anger and shock; anger that Kayla would accuse her like that and shock that Kayla would even think that she is capable of such things to someone she loves.  Angelica rears back and slaps Kayla across the cheek.

“How dare you!”

Kayla rubs her cheek in pain.  Angelica points a finger at Kayla.

“Don’t accuse me!  I love Lindsey!  I would never do anything to harm her!”

“Oh please, Angelica!  Don’t come off as if you’re always innocent.  We both know what happens to you when you get upset.  Does the name ‘Dragon’ ring any bells?”

Angelica shakes her head.

“The Dragon is no longer a part of my life, Kayla.  It no longer represents who I am.”

Trenton stands up in an attempt to stop the argument and direct the attention of the sisters towards him.

“Ladies, if I may…”

He is successful.  Angelica and Kayla stop their arguing and turn to look at Trenton.

“…this arguing will get us nowhere.”

Trenton walks over to the sofa and sits down next to the sisters.  He looks at his wife Kayla.

“Come on, Kay.  You should know this.  Who do the police automatically suspect first in the event of a murder or a kidnapping or any other type of violent crime?”

Kayla shrugs her shoulders.

“You tell me.”

“The significant other.  Boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife.  They always suspect the significant other first.  So of course the police will come talking to Angelica.  But that doesn’t mean she had anything to do with it.”

Kayla sighs and nods her head in agreement.

“Fair enough.”

She turns and gazes at Angelica.

“I’m sorry, sis.  I just worry about you, that’s all.  I know you have a…history…”

“I know I have a history.  The police know it too.  They know I murdered Marie’s father.  So it is perfectly logical to assume I may have had something to do with Lindsey’s disappearance.”

Angelica shakes her head.

“But I have nothing to do with, Kay.  Believe me.”

Kayla leans over and embraces her sister in a tight hug.

“I believe you.  And we will exonerate your name by getting to the bottom of this…”

She smirks.

“…together.”

Our goal in SCW is the same as it always has been; to win back the SCW World Tag Team Championship.  But after our tag team match against Tainted Justice, after the crap Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman pulled in order to get a cheap win over us, well now Kayla and I are looking for something a little extra…

…revenge.

Merrick, Cain, you two are the whiniest two bitches in SCW.  You gripe and complain about how Mr. D runs things.  If you hate it here so damn much then why the hell don’t you just do everyone in this company a favor and do the fans a favor and just leave so we don’t have to put up with your annoying asses ever again?!

No, you won’t leave because you enjoy being annoying little pissants.  You enjoy being the great nuisance of SCW.  You get your jollies off of pissing people off.  Unfortunately you’ve gone and pissed off the wrong people.  You’ve pissed off The Sisterhood and we’re finished playing games with you.

Listen up tweedle-dumb and tweedle-dumber, you two knew that you weren’t going to beat The Sisterhood so you manipulated the referee into thinking we hit you with a chair?  You manipulated the referee into disqualifying us?  And you’re PROUD of that kind of win?

What did it prove?  It damn sure didn’t prove you were better than us and it’s a great big stretch to argue that it proved you were smarter than us.  What it definitely proves is that you two are a pair of cowards who refuse to fight us straight up.

You want to manipulate us into a disqualification?  Fine.  There will be no manipulation required at Hazardous Envy.  I’m coming for blood and I’m coming to beat the hell out of the both of you.  Winning is just a secondary goal.  Beating your ass is the primary goal.

My sister Angelica is right, this is as much about revenge as it is about the SCW World Tag Team Championship.  Tainted Justice have definitely earned an ass kicking from The Sisterhood and I promise you, I swear to you Merrick and Vixen, that we will kick your teeth right down your throat!

But Hazardous Envy isn’t just about revenge.  If it were, I think we’d both be perfectly fine with whipping their ass and walking away, leaving their cowardly asses lying in the center of the ring.  But we now have a third team to deal with, a team that actually has the same goals in mind that we do.

Katie and Gigi Steward of Team Desire want to be the SCW World Tag Team Champions.

Katie and Gigi, if you think your progress here in SCW’s tag team division has gone unnoticed then you are mistaken.  Angelica and I always pay very close attention to our future competition in the tag team division.  On Breakdown you mentioned your wins over Sloan and Diana.

Your victories over The Daughters of Darkness were impressive, indeed, but we’ve beaten them too; recently, fact, on a House Show.  We’ve beaten the most recent SCW World Tag Team Champions Autumn and Gable not once but twice.  We’ve beaten Standing Room Only to become the SCW World Tag Team Champions the first time.

You are impressive, but we’ve been impressive too, and instead of getting into a pissing contest over who has the better tag team record, instead of comparing experience or tag chemistry to see who has the better tag team credentials, let’s just skip all of that bullshit and go straight to the point…

…we both want to be SCW World Tag Team Champions, we both want to be the best, but to find out who is the best, we have to settle it the old fashioned way; inside of an SCW ring.

Believe me, ladies, when I say that we want this more than you can ever imagine, and you can expect the same treatment that Cain and Wiseman will get, and by that I’m referring to my foot in your face!

We will kick your teeth down your throat.
