Just a quick recap before we begin...

"Just remember that we're not sure how we're going to work this part of it just yet, but the person - or people - that you're going to feud with will eventually turn you to their side. We're really looking forward to creating this angle, it's going to be a challenge, but if it works out...trust me, it'll be explosive." He smiled, obviously excited about the new project. "So, would you like to know who you're going to be feuding with?"

Rhiannon nodded, interested to know who the hell besides Shane would actually agree to work with her. "I've spoken to the group, well, actually...one of the guys in the group spoke to me about you first, he's very impressed by your work ethic and talent in the ring." Rhiannon raised an eyebrow in anticipation, silently willing him to continue. "So...to put you out of your misery, we've decided to place you with Evolution."

"Huh?" Rhiannon's jaw dropped and Brian laughed at her stunned expression.

"Hunter came to me a week ago telling me that he thought they could find a place for you in the group if what Tomko and Fertig said about you was true. So, I looked up some of your old tapes, found the Sadist character, showed it to Hunter and he immediately agreed to take you under his wing. I also spoke to Randy Orton and he agreed to be the main instigator in regards to targeting Imogen, but it will be The Game, Triple H, who will eventually draw the Sadist out. They don't call him the Cerebral Assassin for nothing." Brian grinned as Rhian continued to look stunned. Finally, she found her tongue and asked one of the questions that was bothering her the most.

"What about all of the girls who have worked here longer than me? Don't they deserve a chance in the top group?"

"None of them really have workable characters for this. And besides, this angle will be lasting a few months. You won't be thrust right into it. Trust me Rhiannon, you will earn your spot."

"Okay, but the other thing I'm concerned about is the Sadist character. Women refused to wrestle me in OVW because they were intimidated by it and one or two men felt the same. What if that happens here?"

"Don't worry, Tyson told us about that. He said that you were a fantastic actress and that was the end of it. You never hurt anybody and you never lost control. You're not afraid of losing control, are you?"

"Of course not." She scoffed, looking offended, "I'm just worried that my career will suffer because of the character, that's all."

"Trust me, they're all professionals here. Once they understand the character, there won't be a problem." He sat quietly for a moment, giving her some time to process the information. "So, what do you think?"

"Well, I'm a bit blown away but," A smile spread across her face, "I'm really excited too."

"Fantastic. Now all you have to do is meet with Shane. I've given him a few ideas so he can discuss them with you. You won't need to work things out with Evolution for at least a couple of weeks, so don't worry about that yet. Now, unless you have any other questions, I have to be on my way. Got lots to do tonight."

"No, I don't think so. Thank you." She chuckled as Brian showed her to the door.

"No, thank you, Rhiannon. It took a while, but we got there in the end. I think this is really going to work."

Rhiannon stood outside the closed door for a few moments, processing all the information she'd been given, and started walking away with a sigh.

Now all I have to do is convince Imogen I had nothing to do with her being demoted...

And since this was such a short chapter, I'm off to post the next one now... :o)
