Oscar leaves the arena after calling out Stuntman. Oscar walks to his car, he unlocks his Dodge Viper and hops in. He turns on his radio and "Gimme Love by Hell or Highwater" comes on. Oscar drives out of the arena with the song up loud. He is singing along to the song and when it ends, he puts in his newest CD, "Hell or Highwater - Begin Again". He listens to it the whole journey to his hotel. He drives up and hands his car to the valet parking assistant and walks into the hotel lobby.
"Hey, Oscar. Over here!"
Oscar turns his head to find his friend, Eric, standing there.
"Hey man, how long you been waiting?"
"Ah, not long man, about 5 or 10 minutes."
"Cool, so how you been? Been a long time."
"Too long. I've been up and down. My sister was in hospital getting an operation last month, dad's been unwell. But I, personally have been fine. What about you? Mr big time wrestler."
"Aw man, I'm sorry to hear about that. Send my condolences. I've been good, my career is going well, only lost twice haha. On the other hand, I have beaten a former world champ!"
"Sounds like things are going well then, glad to hear it. So, you gonna get changed before we hit the town then?"
"Hit the town? Thought we were going for a meal in the hotel?"
"C'mon man, first time I've saw you in a long time, and you want to stay in? Let's go party with some fine girls."
"I don't know man, I don't think WFWF management would appreciate me coming home drunk, or getting my face on page 1 of the papers dancing with random girls."
"Dude, don't worry, if the paparazzi do picture, you won't make page 1."
"And how do you know that?"
"Because, no one cares about you, now go get changed and we'll hit the town."
"Ugh, FINE, but when I say we're leaving, we leave, ok?"
"Sure sure, now go!"
Oscar goes to his room and changes. He comes out in his dress trousers, dress shoes, dress shirt and a waistcoat.
"Looking snazzy Oscar, now, lets go."
Eric and I hail a cab and go on our merry way into town.
"So, I saw you call out Stuntman, what's with that?"
"Well, he beat AJ King on his debut. I feel it was a fluke, so I want to test him."
"You mean a fluke, like how you beat Trace Demon."
"Thought you didn't follow WFWF, huh?"
"I don't, I just read the dirt sheets."
Oscar rolls his eyes.
"Because those are the most reliable sources right enough. Anyway, the other reason I called him out is because I want to regain my momentum after losing to Thunder, that stopped my streak dead, but I plan on regaining it! At 'Before the Devil Knows You're There' I will put him plat out with my compulsive driver, and pin him 1..2..3!"
"You seem pretty sure of this, don't let it get the better of you."
"I know what I'm in for, and that is a good match that will amaze the WFWF viewers."
The cab stops outside a VIP club. Oscar and Eric walk towards the bouncer.
"Invitations please."
"We don't have any, but don't you recognise me?"
"Sorry, no invitations, no entry. Oh, wait, I do recognise you. Aren't you the guy Thunder whooped?"
Oscar has a blank expression.
"Yes I am, I am also the man who beat Trace Demon and others."
"Yeah, but you lost in your first number one contenders match, sucks man, harsh times."
"So are we allowed in or not?"
"Well, since I feel for ya, come on in."
Oscar and Eric thank the bouncer and walk on in.
"Oscar, I'll go get the drinks in, you go grab a table."
Oscar scans the place, finding an empty table near the back, upon arrival at the table, he is greeted by two young women, who also want the table.
"Hey ladies, you looking to sit here?"
"We sure are, how about you, ofty lonesome aren't ya?"
"My friend is actually getting the drinks in now. You two care to join us? My name is Oscar and my friend is Eric."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Ellie, and this is my friend Melanie."
Oscar grabs two more seats and sits with the girls, Eric appears with the drinks and joins them. After some idle chit-chat the two women ask to dance. Oscar and Eric do not deny and get up on the dance floor. However, as Oscar, Melanie and Eric leave, Ellie hangs back. She drops something in Oscar's drink and re-joins the rest on the dance floor. After ten or so minutes of dancing, they head back to the table.
"Chin chin"
They all take a drink, and Oscar starts to feel dizzy.
"I need some fresh air Eric, I feel really diz..."
Oscar then falls to the floor. He regains consciousness in the back of an ambulance.
"Wha, what happened to me?"
"You took a drink, then blacked out."
"Wow, can I just go home please?"
"Sure man, I'll get you home."
Oscar and Eric head back to the hotel, Eric decides to stay with Oscar to keep an eye on him. When Oscar wakes up in the morning, he is greeted by the headline of the local paper.
"Oh god.. ERIC, where are you?"
Eric comes out of the bathroom, toothbrush in hand.
"Yeah, Oscar?"
"Look at this. FRONT PAGE. Management are going to kill me."
"Maybe not, after you blacked out last night, Ellie and Melanie left, but not before dropping a card which read 'Mel and El, hired druggers'. So someone clearly hired them to spike your drink. And I have my suspicions. I picked the card up, and on the back it had a number, so I phoned it, and guess who answered? Stuntman."
Oscar is shocked.
"Stuntman would stoop that low? Wow, I underestimated this kid."
"Hey, Oscar. Over here!"
Oscar turns his head to find his friend, Eric, standing there.
"Hey man, how long you been waiting?"
"Ah, not long man, about 5 or 10 minutes."
"Cool, so how you been? Been a long time."
