Chapter 2
Maggie walked into the studio stopping only to flash her backstage pass to the security guard. Her brother had given it to her for Christmas the year before and it was only the second time she had been able to use it. She walked towards Soundstage 21 where TNA taped their show. She went straight to the ring area where her brother was normally out early to stretch. When she made it out to the ring there was no one anywhere to be found. She turned around and started towards the back where the wrestlers changed. She didn't want to go to the dressing rooms, but she had to find her brother.
She walked around for a few minutes without seeing anyone before starting back towards the ring. She grabbed her cell phone out of her purse and started dialing her brother's number. Before it could connect Maggie spotted some people standing by the ring. She hung up her phone and walked over to the two men standing around the ring.
"Excuse me…" she said tapping the closest one on the shoulder. The two men turned around and smiled at Maggie. "I'm sorry to bother you. I was wondering if you had seen or know where I could find Alex Shelley or Chris Sabin?" The men looked at each other confused. Maggie figured they had to be new ring operators if they didn't know either of them. "So you don't know where I could find the Motor City Machine Guns?" She asked hoping that using a different name could help her out.
"Oh! The Motor City Machine Guns…" at least they knew who she was talking about now. "I'm sorry. We haven't seen them all day." The bigger of the two guys said shrugging his shoulders.
"Have you checked backstage?" The other guy asked pointing to the tunnel area.
"Yes, I checked all around backstage. You two are the first people I've seen since I walked into the building."
"Well, um…" the first guy didn't know what to say to her. He looked around.
"Don't worry about it. I'll just call one of them and see where they are." She turned around and grabbed her phone again. She had made her way towards the seats to find a good signal when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see two guys grinning at her. She looked at them suspiciously for a second before smiling slightly. She put her phone back in her pocket and moved back a little before she felt the guard rail that separated the ring from the fans.
She wasn't exactly who these guys were, but they looked familiar. They were about the same height as her brother and best friend, but they had long hair.
"So why are you looking for those losers from the Motor City Machine Guns?" The brown haired guy asked. The blonde just leaned against the railing smirking.
"Yea, why don't you ditch those Motor City Machine Losers and come hang out with the best tag-team in TNA." He said leaning in a little closer to Maggie. She couldn't help it, but she let out a slight laugh at the pick-up line.
"The best tag-team in TNA? Are you serious?" She tried faking adoration, but it wasn't going very well because she was getting annoyed. "First off, if you are the best tag-team in TNA why don't you have the tag belts? Second, if you touch me you will regret it. And third, those…" she paused to emphasize the next words with air quotes. "'Losers' are my brother and best friend!" She pushed herself away from the railing and started walking away. But as she walked away she didn't see the evil grins coming from the two men behind her.
