• Monday May 12th: “Osborne Enterprises” -Jacksonville, Florida

On a busy street in downtown Jacksonville,a large ten or so story building stands. Upon it, three revolving glass doors, and right above those glass doors engraved in the glass wall that is the front of the building, is “OSBORNE ENTERPRISES”. Standing in front of those three revolving doors is a man who now owns ten percent of the building, Jason Talbot. Jason isn't wearing his normal casual attire today. Seeing as this is his first time at this building as an owner he should at least for one day dress the part. He is sporting gray pin stripped suit, light blue shirt and black and gold tie, his hair is short and spiked up in a messy style.

Once he walks in the building he is meet with acceptance. Everyone who works there knows who he is and why he is there. Once he reaches the front counter the main receptionist smiles at him and hands him an envelope. “Hello Sir! Mr, Osborne wanted me to make sure you go this as soon as you got in. You'll find your key card that allows you entrance into all the secure areas of the building. Your private pin number is also included in there.”

He dumps the envelope out and grabs the card and the small piece of paper with the pin number. Jason smiles at the receptionist and head off toward the elevators. Up to the eleventh floor goes Jason Talbot. As the elevator door opens CJ Osborne is standing waiting For Talbot. CJ is dressed in a black suit with white pinstripes. A blue shirt and no tie. “Welcome!!”

Jason smiles and extends his hand to CJ. “Thanks man, how are you?”

CJ accepts Jason's hand. “I'm good. Congrats on the big win last night. Sorry I couldn't stick around to celebrate. I had a meeting first thing this morning.”

Jason nods and smiles. “Thanks man , unlucky last week, You nearly got there maybe this week eh?”

CJ motions for Jason to follow him. “Its the nature of the beast I guess. This week will most certainly be different. With no Nightmare in the way Josh will lose to me.”

“Yea, Should be an interesting match, i think you should win this time, Nightmare was a wild card last week and upset the balance, but it looks like you and Josh have a little bit of a rivalry brewing”

“I guess you could call it that. The man has some self esteem problems if you ask me. I mean he was way to sensitive over the things I said. It also seem she's got a case of selective memory, cause things I said were taken way out of context.”

“He is over sensitive all right, he knocked me on my ass for beating him not so long ago.”

The two men stop at a door and CJ slides his key card through it and then presses is four digit code and the door unlocks. “This is the personal file room. I like to keep it secure so I can monitor who comes in goes out of this room. if you look up you will see camera's covering every angle in here. It is impossible to be in this room and not be seen by a camera.”

Jason looks up at the cameras. “Damn some tight security here.”

CJ nods his head yes. “This room contains the most private information about everyone of my employees. Transcripts that go back as far as their years in grade school to bank account information and background information. I HAVE to make sure this is a safe room.” CJ opens a file cabinet for 'T' and finds a folder labeled Talbot. “Please make sure all the information here is correct.”

Jason looks through the documents and is amazed to find his GSCE Exam grades and high school records, he laughs looking at them “Yea all seems to be ok”

"I told you, and the account information is all correct? I want to make sure you get your money every month.” CJ points to a spot on the top sheet of paper.

Jason nods “Yea man thats the same account my MWA wages go into.”

“Good” CJ puts the folder back in the spot he left it. “You have the key card and pin number?”

“Yup indeed I do, I got it on the way in.” Jason flashes it to CJ and puts it back in his pocket.

“Ok that card and pin will get you into every secure area in the building. You have the highest security clearance. The only area you can't get to is the secure area in my office.” CJ leads Talbot out of the room and the door instantly locks behind them. “As far as Josh Johnson goes. He showed how sad he was when he went on Conan. I was more bored during that segment then I was watching an Allen Saunders Promo.”

“Saunders eh? That is boring, I never watched that show really I'm not watching to much TV recently. As for your office sure all I have to do is knock.” Jason laughs as he says that.

“Maybe. Follow me and I will show you your office.” Jason follows CJ to a door Marked Jason Talbot. CJ begins to swipe his card, but stops and moves over and allows Jason to use his card and pin.

Jason swipes the card and he hears a beep, he enters the pin and the door opens “Ah” exclaims Jason “It works, this is cool.”

“It better work. It cost me nearly twenty five million to wire this whole building with this system”

“Damn thats a lot, well I guess one things for sure, DaiShi or whatever he is calling himself wont be able to get me in here.” CJ opens the door and motions for Jason to walk in and see the office that would make Donald Trump blush. Jason looks at it in awe “Wow this is amazing, last office i worked in when i was 16 could only be described as a bathroom.”

“On the desk there is two set of keys.” CJ moves over to the desk and pick up one set.

Jason looks at them “What are they for?”

"This set is to what was my beach house. You remember it.?"

Jason thinks back “Yea I remember. You bought it back when you were getting divorced because you didn't want to be at the big mansion. I remember we all had a BBQ there one weekend.”

“Its yours.” He tosses the keys to Jason.

Jason catches them but looks confused “Why?”

“Simple you'll be in the area more because of business and I'll not have my business partners staying in some stuffy hotel room.”

“Wow thanks, but man stuffy hotels? You call 5 star hotels stuffy?” Jason laughs

CJ joins Jason with a laugh “Jason have seen my house?”

Jason thinks “Only in picture for that magazine shoot you did once, never been in it.”

“Then you know its HUGE.” CJ picks up the other set that are clearly for a car. “On the first floor of the parking garage there is a reserved parking place for you. In that place is a brand new off the show room floor 2008 Dodge Viper.”

Jason's jaw nearly hits the floor. “Dang this company really looks after its shareholders.”

“Seeing as there are only two of us, yes”

Jason laughs “Well thats true, ya know I think Richard would be pissed if he were to know, I have not told him yet”

CJ lets an emotionless laugh out. CJ has never been a big fan of Richard. “Why is that?”

Jason stops for second to run his hands across the desk “I do not know, he always has been the rich one, but has never really let us in and well with me working for another company I do not know how he will take it.”

CJ stops and thinks over. “Makes since I guess.” CJ walks closer to his friend. “Now I need to correct you on something. You do not work for me. Sure I own more of this place than you do, but you are a owner, not an employee.”

The expression on Jason's face is clear that he isn't used to this kind of thing. “Well thats true, I keep forgetting that you know.”

CJ moves over and takes a seat in front of the desk. “Come have a seat. We have something to discuss.”

Jason sits down and gets comfortable in his chair “Whats up?”

CJ is bothered by the mystery surrounding his friend. “Again you are a owner in this place, but it is my family's business. Its the legacy my parents left to me. I have to do all I can to make sure everything goes as smooth and trouble free as possible.”

Jason hangs his head a bit shameful about the current situation he is in. He begins to feel bad that he might have put CJ and his business in danger. “Yea I understand that, I will try my best to uphold that and keep trouble out.”

CJ understands that some things happen that are beyond your control. He has had similar issues arise. “Thats great, but hey sometimes trouble comes up. I have had it, and the fact is this place has the recourses available to take care of the kinda issues your having when the police can't help.”

Jason gives CJ a confused look. “Yea the police have been somewhat clueless as to my kidnapping last week.”

“I'm gonna have my 'problem solver' contact you this week..” CJ smiles.”He is very good at what he does.” CJ can see that Jason is still a bit confused and starting to get worried. CJ is talking about a problem solver, who wouldn't be worried. “Its borderline, but it is legal.”

Jason laughs, Knowing that what CJ is suggesting is legal does make him feel much better. “As long as its above board, yea I think its time this stalker is weeded out once and for all, he seems to strike most when I am on BattleZone or shortly after.”

CJ grabs a small card and a pen. He writes a name ad number on the card “Talk to him and give him the info he needs. I'll cover the bill for this first use, but in my experience you get a lot of crazies. So keep his number on file.” CJ slides a business card with the info on it to Jason. “You never know when you may need it again.”

“Thanks man, I guess with all you have been through you have built up a lot of contacts.” Jason slides the card into the Rolodex on his desk

“Its the price of doing business I guess.” CJ leans back in the chair in a relaxing manner. “So what do you think so far?"

Jason smiles and looks around for a second. “I'm impressed Ive been in a lot of cooperate headquarters but none so elegant, not the GWEs, the MWA's or even Vince McMahon's.”

CJ looks down at his watch and back at Jason “I'm gonna have my secretary finish your tour of the place. I got to do a meeting. Afterward we can get some lunch and I'll show you your new Beach house.” CJ and Jason stand and walk to the office door.

Jason just nods his head in approval “That would be great, but after all you have done for me, lunch is on me.”

Normally CJ would refuse to allow Jason to pay, but he is right. CJ has invested a lot of money in to him. To CJ is a small price to have people you trust making sure your business is safe. “Alright. I think I can get us some last minute reservations at Shoguns Japanese steak house.”CJ stands and moves toward the door. ”Wait here and Amanda will be here in a few minutes.”

Jason nods his head and return to his seat. “No worries.”

I had a very busy week this week. As normal I had two leave the last show right away to go back to Jacksonville so I could take care of business Monday morning, but this was no normal Monday. I got to introduce my new business partner the business he bought into. Granted Jason only owns ten percent of “Osborne Enterprises”, but still I wanted to make sure he knows the place that is making him so much money. Once I got Jason set and ready for what he got himself into I had a few meetings and then it was time to go home. Where I had no rest, because I had to finish packing for my trip to LA.

It was time for me to fly across the country to meet the parents of my very lovely Hope Marie. Some of you are probably thinking that going on this trip with such an important match coming up would be a bad idea. You think I should have stayed home and studied every single video of Josh Johnson I could find. In theory that is a wonderful idea, however its not as necessary as one might think. If I was facing Josh for the first time like I was last week then I would have told Hope not this week, but since I have just faced him last week and the week before that I was one of his team mates I have a pretty good idea of what to expect from him.

Sure I have studied some tape of Josh this week and I have tried to see the things that I missed. I mostly watched myself so I can try to eliminate the mistakes I made that he was able to capitalize on. To be honest a lot of the video watching and not taking and all this so called preparation is all for show. Sometimes its a bit of a physiological thing. I mean you pretty much throw all those strategies and preparations out the window once the bell rings. Wrestling isn't won in the video room, its won on the mat. Its about going out to the ring and doing what you do best.

• Tuesday May 13^th: Home of Hope Marie's parents – LA

A Yellow Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster is moving down a street in the suburbs of LA. This particular area is where the best of the best live in the entertainment world. This area is also home to the parents of CJ's girlfriend Hope Marie. “Where is this place at?” CJ looks at Hope, because he is ready to be there already.

“Its right around the corner.” After a few more moments of silence Hope points to a driveway with an iron gate. “The code is 5486.” CJ punches the numbers he was told and the gate opens with a small beep from the box. After around fifty yards there is a circle drive with a large fountain in the middle. The house is an off white color with two large palm trees on either side of the white stone steps that lead to the house. “This is home” Hope smiles from ear to ear, as she is very happy to finally be back at the place she grew up at. The doors on the car open at a ninety degree angle and the two step out of the sports car.

“This place is breathtaking.” CJ looks around at the professionally manicured lawn and the arrangement of different exotic plants an flowers that circle the foundation and along the front of the house. Large Green shrubs that have been cared for as well as the rest of the lawn block the view to the back of the house, but one would guess its just as nice as the front.

A man appears at the foot of the steps and by the way he was dressed he must be the butler. Hope must have grown up with this elderly man as her butler, because she nearly knocks the poor man over when she runs to hug him. “How have you been my child.”

She smiles as she looks toward CJ. “Come Jeffrey! This is my boyfriend, CJ Osborne. CJ, This is Jeffrey. He's been the head butler here since I was a little girl. Hes been one of my best friends.” CJ extends his hand toward Jeffrey, which he accepts.

“I've heard a lot about you Jeffrey. Hope talks about you and this place all the time.” Hope grabs CJ's arm and begins to pull him toward the house.

“Come on you need to meet mom and dad.” He just follows along inside the house. The inside is just as extravagant as the outside. After a quick meet with the parents and the rest of the staff CJ is lead to what will be his room during their stay. Hope's parents are very old fashioned and despite the fact that they are living together will not allow the two to share a room in their house. They both have agreed to respect their wishes and play by the rules.

“This is your room and your bathroom is the door on your left. You should find everything you need here. Dinner is going to be in an hour so take a shower and get ready.” She goes to walk out of the room, turns stops and turns back. “Can I have your keys so Jeffrey can move the car around to the garage?”

CJ fishes in his pocket as he walks over to her and gives Hope a quick kiss and hands her the keys. “He better not scratch it.”

“He's not gonna scratch it” She rolls her eyes. “ Now go get ready, See you in an hour.” Hope disappears to the other side of the door. CJ begins to think about his upcoming rematch with Josh Johnson as he is getting ready for dinner. There isn't a doubt in his mind that he can beat Josh, but that fact is he did fail to do so last week. Granted he wasn't quite alone in that match. There was another factor that will not be a bother this week, Nightmare. Josh Johnson never beat CJ, he beat Nightmare. CJ was never pinned and this week he will show Josh Johnson just who is truly the superior fighter.

I would like to touch on a few things Josh did and said last week. First off very original idea going on The Conan O'Brien Show. Especially after I was a guest on The Craig Ferguson Show. I mean that was ingenious. Whats even better is the fact that I was asked to come on the show and you had to call and beg to get on to the your show. Then the little show you put on after your interview was top notch entertainment. I want to know how much money you had to pay that pathetic MMA fighter to let you kick his ass. I guess he was hurting for cash, so he let you beat him down like that. The powerbomb on the desk was a very nice touch.

Come on Josh, Do you honestly think that bullshit scared me?Here's a news flash for you, You never beat me. You pinned Nightmare, not me. I hope you take a good look at that tape and see the guy under you is wearing green, and I certainly do not wear green in the ring. Of course someone who is as uneducated as you are would say that a pin over Nightmare is just as good as a win over me. I don't think so pal, you pinning the other guy doesn't prove your better than me. It only proves that piece of trash got in my way. However this Monday night we get to see just who is better. We will see just who the bigger hard ass is.

Your lack of knowledge of what was actually said on the show I went to, shows that you didn't have the balls to watch what I had to say. I never once said you life was better than mine, because thats not true. I had a awesome child hood and my adult life has been very successful. Sure I had issues with the death of my parents and my whore of an ex wife. I never once said my issues made yours look like shit. I just said its been several years and its time to move on and not harbor so much fucking bitterness. Its clear your still in love with the women who left you, or else you wouldn't have so much bitterness about it.

• Tuesday May 13^th: Home of Hope Marie's parents(DINNER) – LA

Dinner is just about ready when CJ comes down the large oak wood staircase that looks like it belongs in a museum. CJ's blond hair has been brushed forward, expect for the very front have been spiked up. He is wearing pair of Khaki pants and a multi colored striped silk button down shirt. A gold rolex with diamonds lining the edge has been placed on his wrist. The hall way CJ is walking down has been painted with a light cream color and has various family photos hanging from the wall. The dinning room is just to CJ's right so he doesn't have far to go. The Dinning room has a mahogany wood paneling around it with a tint of red. The carpet is the same shade of red to match as is the table cloth on the table the could probably fit around ten people.

Hope and her parents have sitting at the opposite end of the table. Her dad who is dressed in a pair on Black slacks and white Ralph Lauren Polo shirt has taken the “power seat” at the head of the table. He's an average sized man with black hair. You can tell he colors his hair, because there are specks of gray mixed in. “Come on in here and have a seat.”

Hope's mom is sitting to the right of her dad. She is bit on the small size, but not in a unhealthy way. She is wearing white sun dress. “I hope you like seafood.” CJ takes a seat next two Hope who is on the left side of her dad. Hope is the most casual person in the room as she is wearing a pair of blue jeans and a pink blouse.

“I love seafood... Your home is beautiful. You can tell that you both put a lot of effort into making it what it is. Did you decorated it yourself?”

The rest of dinner went off without a hitch. What seemed like a endless supply of shrimp, lobster, crab legs, and all the fixings that you would expect to go along with those seafood favorites. During dinner Hope's parents had what seemed like a million and one questions for CJ. Ranging from his childhood to what his everyday life is like when it comes to running a business like the one he runs. After dinner Hope and her mom went off to do something, as CJ and Hopes dad move out to the patio that overlooks the back yard.

“Do you smoke?” Hope's dad pulls two cigars out of his pocket and offers one to CJ.

CJ shakes his head no. “No sir I don't, but it doesn't bother me so if you want to please go right ahead.”

“I'm gonna be honest with you. When I was told that you were who Hope was so smitten with I was upset. You see I am the one responsible for Hope being such a fan of wrestling so I knew who you were and I knew your reputation. So to say the least I wasn't pleased.” CJ nods in an understanding manner. “However I can tell you are trying to change that reputation.”

“I respect your honesty with me. I understand one hundred percent what your saying. If I was in your position I can't say I would have be to thrilled. To be honest Hope has been a big part of the reason I have changed so much. I know its only been a short amount of time since we have known each other, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I truly love Hope.”

The elder man smiles as he responds to CJ. “From what I can tell she feels the same way about you.”

CJ reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a small cloth and unfolds it. Inside the cloth is a ring. The silver band has small diamonds encrusted around the entire thing and at the top sits a large stone. By the design of this ring its very clear just what CJ has planned for it. The father of Hope is also very aware as to why CJ is showing him this ring.

“Before I answer that question I need to ask you a question.” CJ gives a confused look toward the man. “Your a professional wrestler and the owner of a multi-billion dollar enterprise. Even if Hope didn't have her inheritance I know financially she would be taken care of. However my concern is, Can you be there for her? You have a very busy schedule as is and then throw in a wife and things could get complicated quick. Plus as I know you have already had one failed marriage.”

“I can understand why that would concern you. First off my ex wife was a whore and that is why that marriage failed. It has nothing to do with her not getting enough of my time.” The two men nod collectively in a unspoken agreement and understanding. “The other issue you have is actually something I wanted to talk to you about. You see I have been making arrangements to sell off a percentage of the company so I could focus more on my wrestling career and of course on Hope. I have currently sold off ten percent to a close personal friend and I was wondering if you would be interested in the same deal?”

“That is certainly a deal I don't think I would be able to refuse. Have your office fax me over a copy of the contract for me to look over in the morning.” The two men shakes hands as they have just successfully completed a business deal, however that wasn't the main purpose for the conversation. “As for this” He hands CJ the ring back. “You have my blessing.”

“Thank You, Sir. I promise you I'll not make you regret this.” CJ extend his hand once again for a handshake. “I love you daughter very much.”

“Your family now. Call me Jerry.” Jerry shakes CJ's hand as he pat shim on the back. “So when you gonna ask her?”

“I got something special planned for next week. I trust this is our little secret for the time being?” Jerry nods his head yes.

Josh you claim that its your mission to keep people from experiencing the pain you experienced. On the outside looking in that sounds like a very noble thing to do, expect in your wrapped weird mind you think taking away what people have before they lose it is the answer. Josh you think your way is the only way that things can be. Josh your no saint,of course neither am I. However I don't go around pretending to be one. Josh your nothing more than a common vigilante. A man who is struggling with his own self gratification. Your actually very sad and in all honesty very weak minded.

You want to talk about respect and how you no longer have respect for me. Join the club. Look around the locker room, I'm not the most liked guy. So I'm used to it by now. Josh despite our differences I do have some respect for you and your wrestling ability. I think you a bit of a baby outside of the ring and far to sensitive when it comes to what people say. In the ring your are a beast and I know this match will be a good one, but the fact is simple your good, but I'm better. I'll see you Monday night Josh.
