Post-match.
Karlie is sitting on the bench staring at the floor as she slowly removes her hand wraps tossing them in her bag, she takes a drink of water then tosses the bottle at the wall.
What have I got to do, I gave Claire and Casey everything I had and it wasn’t good enough.
Karlie leans down unlacing her wrestling boots, taking several shorts breaths, removing them felt like a chore, finally getting them off she placed them in her bag, she leaned back looking up at the ceiling squinting from the lights, she breathing is slow and in short trusts, she closes her eyes placing her hands behind her head, she quickly changes, now sitting in jeans and a and a team U.S.A t-shirt tying up her Reebok shoes. Outside Jenna Bauer approaches with caution. Karlie looks up seeing Jenna standing in the door.
Karlie: Hey Jenna.
Jenna: Got a minute.
Karlie: Sure come in.
Jenna: Great match out there tonight.
Karlie: Thanks.
Jenna: But you and Claire had a great showing out there.
Karlie: But the thing is Jenna tomorrow no one won’t even remember that nobody remembers the losers, all that people will remember is that Casey Holliday won the watch and retained her title.
Jenna: So what’s next.
Karlie: This tag tournament what’s it called again.
Jenna: Battlefield Battlebowl.
Karlie: Right, I wonder what untalented loser I’m going to get paired with in that.
Jenna: Well the card hasn’t been released yet.
Karlie: Okay, anyway do you have any more questions.
Jenna: No.
Karlie: Well, you can see yourself out then.
Jenna stands up and walks out of Karlie’s locker room. Karlie packs up her gear and walks out of the locker room, she slowly walks the halls still shaking her head in disgust, as she kicks open the exit door, she slams the door behind her as she exits the arena
It’s a cold day in St. Paul as Tracy and Karlie drive from the airport to her house.
Karlie: First thing I’m doing when we get home is checking the security cameras, to make sure no one else broke into my house.
Tracy: Okay, and those are the first words you’ve spoken since we left Philadelphia.
Karlie: I threw everything I had at Claire and Casey and I still lost.
Tracy: I don’t know why you keep getting down on yourself like this.
Karlie: No offense, but you’ve never been an athlete, you don’t what it's like to bust your ass and constantly come up short, I have more talent than most of the Action Wrestling roster, but I just can’t win when it matters, wrestling wise I mean.
Tracy: Well you have this opportunity with this Battlefield Battlebowl tournament.
Karlie: I suppose, so am I teamed with Nikki.
Tracy: No, you’re not.
Karlie: So which loser did they, team me up with, I’m not teamed up with fucking Bishop am I.
Tracy: No, actually your teamed up with Casey Holliday.
Karlie: Sure I am, Action Wrestling is really teaming me up with Casey Holliday, yeah right.
Tracy flips through her phone and finds the card and shows it to Karlie.
Karlie: Well look at that. So who are we facing?
Tracy: Jaice Wilds and Rose.
Karlie: Okay, I think we have a shot at winning this match, Jaice is a damn good wrestler, but I’ve beaten Rose more time than I can count, and Casey I know can beat them both.
Karlie: Idiot.
Karlie and Tracy pull into the driveway of her house and enter the house. Karlie wastes no time checking the security cameras.
Karlie: Okay, Mailman, power company guy, water guy, the usual cast of characters.
Tracy: I don’t know what your worried about, I checked with the jail, Marilyn hasn’t made bail, and according to the attorney handling the case, it doesn’t like she’s going to.
Karlie: Good, I hope she rots in Jail. So getting back to this tournament, what are the rules.
Tracy: You lose you’re out, win twice and you advance to Battlebowl, which is a battle royal, and the winner gets the last entry into the Havoc battle royal.
Karlie: Excellent, I can get to Battlebowl with Casey as my partner, then I win the battle royal and punch my ticket to the Havoc battle royal.
Tracy: Yeah some really good teams though.
Karlie: Yeah, there are some interesting teams for sure, who is this person Nikki is teamed up with.
Tracy: Some big dude named Titan.
Karlie: Oh, a new guy, Nikki probably isn’t going to like that.
Tracy: Probably not.
The power flicks off and is gone for a few moments then came back on.
Karlie: Great, better go check the generator just in case.
After being gone a short while she returns.
Karlie: Generator is good to go just in case.
Tracy: Okay I’m going to bed see you in the morning.
Karlie: Alright.
Karlie sits on the couch as Tracy takes her leave. Karlie sits on the couch and flips through the channels and finds nothing to watch, then thinks back to the Battlefield Battlebowl, and the fact that she is teamed with Casey Holliday, Karlie knew this was great, teaming with a top star like Casey pretty much punches her ticket to the Battle royal at Battlefield, and winning the last entry for the Havoc battle royal, she smirked thinking this.
Karlie rubs her eyes and yawns and stands up a walks towards her bedroom, the lights flicker a few times then the room goes black.
Karlie: Nice, first a snowstorm in Detroit, and now a cold snap in St. Paul.
Karlie uses her phone to find her way to her bedroom and climbs into bed.
Tracy shivers as she dresses and walks into the living room, realizing the power is out, Karlie walks out of her bedroom and greets Tracy.
Tracy: I think the power is out.
Karlie: Yeah it went out last night, I’ll go fire up the generator.
Karlie walks out the back door, and returns a few moments later, clearly in a bad mood.
Karlie: Can you fucking believe this, someone stole my generator. Hope you brought some warm clothes.
Tracy shakes her head and smiles.
Several hours later Karlie and Tracy are sitting in her Bronco the engine is running and the heat is cranked up.
Karlie: So now that Effinrager has ended, the road to Battlefield begins, when Camilla announced this tournament if figured I’d get paired with some loser like Lisa Foster as my partner, but boy did I luck out, I have the UCI champion has my partner. Casey all the shit I talked about UCI and the title was never an indictment on you or your abilities in the ring, now I know what your thinking up in Seattle, why the hell did I do to get paired with Karlie Nash, and you have a right to think that, but look at it this way, we’ve been in the ring with each, we know what each of us brings to the table, so to speak.
Karlie turns the heater up as far as it can go.
Karlie: Casey, all we have to do is work together and I have no doubt that we’ll be in the battle royal at Battlefield, then whatever happens, happens.
Karlie backs up and pulls out of the driveway and heads off down the street.
Karlie: Jaice Wilds, the multi-time 201 and fun champion, and a man everyone underestimated heading into Effinrager, then you took Ryan Lockhart to his absolute limits, you sir are legit, and this will be our first time facing each other and I look forward to mixing it up with you on Clash, it's unfortunate that you won’t be moving on any further, because unlike me Jaice, your partner is a complete dud.
Karlie pulls into the parking lot of the one Starbucks that seemed not to be crowded, opting for the drive-through, pulling back out unto the road Karlie takes a sip of her coffee.
Karlie: Rose I really don’t understand, someone like you should be dominating people in Action Wrestling but you, unfortunately, lack actual wrestling talent, being built like a tank and looking like you can bench press a house, doesn’t make a top-notch professional wrestler I know this personally since I’ve beaten you on several occasions, and Clash will be no different. Rose your the weak link in this match, and Casey and I will no problem proving that this week on Clash, You're a lame duck partner, I know it, Casey knows it, Action Wrestling knows it, and after you lose on Clash Jaice wilds will know it. See ya in Kansas City.
