Chapter 2- A match reaction
Manny, Shawn, Marcus, Adam, Amy (Lita), Trish and Jeff all stood around the
squared circle, as Kevin stood in the middle.
"You're all probably wondering why Big Daddy has called you here today at
such short notice." Kevin announced as he looked at everyone. "Well you
guys know that I've beat your asses in this ring. Yeah, I've beaten every
guy except for one." Kevin added before turning to face Marcus. Marcus
looked straight up at Kevin. "Except for you." He said as he pointed his
finger at Marcus. Marcus instantly jumped on to the apron of the ring. "Any
time, any place. It's doesn't matter to me." Marcus replied as Kevin
smiled. "Alright. Tonight at 9pm in this very ring. But there's one
stipulation."
"Name it." Marcus said as Kevin turned his head towards Manny and Adam.
"The referee will not be Shawn, but it will be...Manny." Kevin replied as
everyone but Kevin and Marcus, looked at Manny's eyes widened with fear and
shock. "Until tonight, Deadman." Kevin said as he stepped over the top rope
and walked out of the yard. Marcus jumped down from the apron, sat on his
bike and drove off. Everyone else left the ring and the yard, except for
Manny. Tears began to roll down her face. She got into the ring and saw the
cold look Kevin gave her minutes earlier.
"Manny." A voice behind her said. Manny turned around. It was Shawn. Shawn
got into the ring and noticed the tears rolling down her face. "Hey, what's
up?"
"I don't know. Me being the referee, Kevin's cold look, the tension between
him and Marcus." Manny sobbed as Shawn put his arms around her.
"Now you listen to me. It's just a match. Kevin's realised that Marcus is a
bigger obstacle than everyone else and so has Marcus." Shawn replied as he
sat Manny down then he sat next to her.
"I know, but what if the match gets out of hand?" Manny asked.
"I don't know that. But what I do know is that you're gonna do a great job
as the referee." Shawn said as Manny smiled.
"You think?"
"Yeah better than me."
"Thank you. I don't know what came over me." Manny said as she stood up and
wiped her face.
"Manny. You're like my little sister. It's my job to look out for you. Now
let's go. I need a lift home." Shawn said as Manny nodded.
