"He's lying to me. I know it. He must know where she is. He's keeping me from her…lying son of a bitch! Now…what to do about that? Since Ryan wants to play games…..I'll show him games. Lotus, we are going to make a visit to Recida. If Joey wants to lie to me, he's going to find out. There will be very real consequences for it."
"You will want to claim down before that. If you go off the deep end on Ryan. You will scare her away. It would serve you better to simply crash the show. Show up and let everyone know your not to be ignored."
"I have always enjoyed a grand entrance. What better way to draw everyone's attention directly to me. Now if my way ward love, would just stop this hard to get. I don't mind the hunt. Its this silly refusal to give in. We can still play this little hunt game. She for some reason wants to deprive us both of much wanted pleasure."
"I would say its more a concern about her reputation. She doesn't want to be known as a whore. You are an owner and promoter. It would likely spread like wild fire, she was using her charms to get what she wants."
"As if I'd let anyone else touch her. Still you make a point Lotus. This might be about her sense of pride. She is very talented…..pride demands she show the world she wins on her own. Still I wish she would just give in."
"You like the fact she's out to do it on her own. Its one of the reasons you started looking at her."
"True. Reminded me of Sexy in a way. Only it felt as if she was made for me. Now the best to get myself to my tailor. I need a new suit, and quickly for later tonight."
"How do you want to make your presence known?"
"The moment will be during the start of the fifth match. There's a promo that I will cut short. Joey is cutting it, that should make him think twice about lying to me."
"I take it you have some inside people?"
"I have managed to get the services of a couple of men. They keep me informed about things. Such as if anyone tries to touch what belongs to me. I don't mind admiring, but any man stupid enough to try and touch her. Is going to pay a very stiff price for it."
"I take it you found one of her ex-boyfriends? What did you do to him?"
"Lets just say he won't be having children anytime soon. He now is half the man he was. Now I've got things to do, we are on a tight timetable. See you in a few hours."
Lotus nodded as Dario walked off to push the skills of his tailor to the limits. She signed once he was out of site. Things certainly were about to get interesting.
If she didn't know any better, Lotus would swear that someone had cursed the little burette. With a certain famous Chinese cruse. Lotus pulled out her cell phone, and begain doing what was nessary to maintain some level of sanity.
"Yes he knows. He found some spys, we don't' know about. We will have to check to see who's in debt. Or is having other money issues. Yeah say hi for me. Will see you later."
Fade to Matanza in his cell.
Matanza was antsy, he knew Dario had some grand plan for the night. However he had been told he could not do as he pleased. They would be somewhere that wasn't the Temple.
That meant he was to behave and not simply just run down his foes. Unless it came down to it that was. Matanza had listened growing annoyed at his brother's restrictions. Until he had heard about his friend, who slipped him treats.
It seemed his brother was once again moving at lighting speed. When it came to trying to woo her. Matanza knew this wasn't something she liked. She wasn't used to being adored; the way his brother enjoyed lavishing on her. Matanza had listened when she had mentioned her confusion over it. She didn't understand why someone would buy a classic car. As a gift just to give, because well I saw it and thought yeah that's you.
Matanza wishes his brother would claim down. When it comes to trying to woo his friend. She isn't like the women he normal goes after. She isn't interested in his money. Nor all of these gifts Dario thinks are good ways to get her attention. She doesn't want expensive gifts, nor does she want his money. Matanza knows this because her eyes tell him so. This is one of the reasons he likes her so much.
All she really wants in the Temple, is to fly threw the air. Much like the strange winged one who hangs around. Matanza has never faced this foe, but it matters little to him. The winged one is busy with other things and doesn't bother with Matanza.
The winged one is more interested in taking out Mundo. Which Matanza agress with him completely. Mundo is annoying and is all puffed up like a large bird. Trying to show off to all the females it can. So that it might have its pick of females. Or all of them, depending on its ego. Matanza finds it all distasteful, and hopes Mundo goes away soon.
Matanza has considered making Mundo go still. Only to dismiss the idea, as the winged one. Seems hell bent on doing that himself. Matanza sees the hate in his eyes. It screams to be able to beat the hell out of Mundo. Or better yet to put Mundo out of the Temple for good.
He can respect that level of determination and blood lust. So he simply watchs an waits to see what happends to Mundo. After all Matanza himself holds Rey Mistero Jr in the same light. His utter hatered for the man who beat him. Is something a kin to primal rage. That demands he finish off the one who embrassed him.
Matanza hates the feeling the pin gave him. Its one he never wants to feel again. He must erase it at all costs. It makes him feel helpless, something he's not felt in many years. Helpless is not for a grown man. Helpless is not something a fighter or warrior excepts.
To except such a feeling means defeat or worse. He learned his many years ago. From both the Woman who screamed rage. Along with his father who trained him for war. Matanza has lost track of how many years ago it was. All he knows is that he never wants to feel it again. Rey made him feel as he did when he was eight years old. Watching in horror as the Woman, tried to kill his brother.
She was too enraged, unable to stop dispite all pleas. Dispite all reason, she had become murderous and won't stop. Matanza in a fit of fear or rage, he know longer knows for sure. Grabbed the large red bull statue off the table. Then from behind hit her in the back of the head. As hard as he could, in hopes she would stop. Then he continued as he feared what she might do. If he stopped hitting her with the bull.
Dario who had been able to recover, had managed to pull himself to his feet. An watched in awe and dark glee as there tormentor paid. The aftermath was a blur for Matanza. He knew a few things, they started at some point stealing cars. Wild racing with the stolen cars. Wrecking the stolen cars, doing all kinds of things.
At some point there missing father had shown back up. Matanza wasn't sure how to think of his dead father. He liked him slightly better than the Woman. Who had been nothing but vile and rage. Matanza still wishes he had made him still as well. There were things there father had done to him. That he could not nor would he ever tell his brother about.
As a matter of pride and he feared his brother would have a break down. For while Dario could handle much more than most. There were things Matanza had seen, that very few could except. Let alone deal with the realities behind them. The woman his brother was trying to woo. Was one of the very few who seemed to understand.
She was torn about it he could see. As she tried very hard to not look at him with pity. Understanding that it would do no good and was unwanted. Still there were times, he saw her aura reach out and try to hug him.
To make his pain go away, and let him know he was just fine. The first time he had been confused by it. Aura's of people shrank away from him. As a matter of fear or primal respect that he excepted without question. Very few rose up to challenge him or stand up to him.
Never in his life did he remember a strangers aura trying to be comforting. In the way his new friend's aura had done. After she had slipped him the snacks. A light pink light had fluttered out from her. Then slowly come over to his personal space. It had then gentle brushed his aura. Causing him to become very confused. He had not acted out, as it was a very gentle touch. An after all she had just given him some sweet treats. There was no reason to think she meant him ill. The pink light of her aura had then moved over his more. Giving him a warm pleasant feeling, dispite his confusion at it. Matanza had enjoyed the feeling and it had left him in a very good mood.
Dario has actual asked after what had put him in such an agreeable state. Matanza had smiled and not said anything. It was rare he was able to have a secret now a days. Even more so to have one Dario didn't know of. Besides his brother won't understand the concept. Dario was more grounded in the ideas of logic of life. If he understood the more unseen ways of it. Matanza had never noticed it before. So he saw little point in trying to explain, what the gentle touch of an aura was like.
Dario had in the end just shaken his head. Then wished his brother a good night and left. Dario had asked him a few more times. Only to be left wondering what had him in such a settled mood. Matanza still didn't mention who it was, dispite his brother's attempts to dig. As he didn't want to stop getting the treats. An the feeling he got from her visit. Was something he wanted to keep to himself.
Matanza feels a sigh building as he realizes. That his older brother is being too aggressive in his attempts at courting. He can't see what he's doing is driving her to run. Like a dear that's being chased by a predator. She wasn't about to allow Dario to ketch her. Not when she can still run. Matanza also senses she's been hurt before. While it doesn't show he notices her fear of letting men in. Which is all the more impressive to him, as she treats him with both kindness and respect. Matanza prays for the first time in a very long time. That his brother will wise up to his actions. Other wise he fears, he won't see his friend for another long length of time.
