EARLIER TODAY
A camera comes up backstage as a security guard walks up to the entrance to the parking deck. He stops as a stretch hummer pulls up, the driver circling around and opening the door. Out slides a snakeskin cowboy boot, followed by the leg of what looks like a rather expensive suit. The security guard walks up as Jaice Wilds, dressed to the nines, emerges fully from the back seat and slides the driver a twenty. He nods to the guard, unbuttoning his suit jacket.
Jaice Wilds: Iknow, I know. Pat down and what not. Go ahead.
The security guard looks on, shrugging as he proceeds to check Wilds for weapons.
Security Guard: You're clear. But… you aren't on the Clash roster, Mr Wilds. So I have to ask wh…
Jaice Wilds: I have to be ON the Clash roster to visit an old friend?? That seems a bit much. I'm not even here to start anything. Just need to have a word with Lex. Er, Pasternak.
Security Guard: And a text or phone call couldn't suffice?
Jaice Wilds: What are you, the Special Service? Lex is an old buddy. He's got a lot on his plate, and I want to give him something nice. Like a few minutes with an old friend. Gods.
Security Guard: I… uh… my… bad?? I'll… Mr Pasternak. Right. This… this way.
The security guard escorts Wilds through the halls. At one point, they turn the corner and pass Tatiana Jolee. Wilds stops, raising a hand semi-defensively.
Jaice Wilds: Jolee! I don't know if you know me, but my nam…
Tatiana Jolee: I know who you are, Wilds. What did you want?
Jaice Wilds: I assure you, my business today has nothing to do with you. I merely wanted to stop and congratulate you on your victory. It's good to see that Action Wrestling finally has a RESPECTABLE champion who isn't afraid to put in work and can stand on her own.
Tatiana looks Jaice up and down, unsure.
Tatiana Jolee: Is this the part where you challenge me or I'm supposed to HAND you an opportunity?
Jaice shakes his head.
Jaice Wilds: Not at all, Ms Jolee. Much like yourself, I prefer to EARN my spot. I simply want to pay you respect for bringing some integrity back to the World Title.
Wilds extends a hand, Jolee shrugs as she accepts. They share a moment of mutual respect before Tatiana continues on her way, Jaice following security to Pasternak's office.
