Kemp sits in his office at The Following compound and stares at the wall with exasperation on his face. On the television mounted on that wall is the replay of his biggest failure over the past couple of months. Allowing Philidor Holdings to get the best of them. A trap that he never saw coming.
It has been a blur since that night but that night hasn’t left his thoughts. It has followed him from the Christmas show to The Final One back to here. He is supposed to be the one that sees all the angles. He’s the one that is supposed to look out for the other guys. So many things could have happened. Someone could have been taken out.
Kemp shifts in his chair uncomfortably as he thinks about that prospect. So many of these guys have great things ahead of them. CJ Phoenix is the future of the Cruiserweight Division. Wesley is on a roll and has a chance to be World Champion. Dandy has been revitalized and has been the best Tag Team Partner he has ever had. Chase Jackson is a mentor for so many of the other guys in the compound. If something happens to these guys it's on him! He brought them into the fold and it is his job to protect them.
He could feel the eyes from the other guys after it was all over. They were thinking the same things he was. It was his job to see these types of things coming so why didn't he see it coming? Philidor coming after them is predictable. Anyone with half a brain should have seen it coming. They want power. They want success. The Following has both and have the belts on top of it. There really was no other option for them. They just had to fire the first shot and it was a shot that Kemp should have seen. Why didn't he see it?
Kemp shakes his head and knows the answer. He didn't see it because he was letting the success get to his head. It was a problem that he has had before. An ounce of success comes his way and he starts to bask in the glory. He starts to lose his attention to detail. That cannot happen again. Not this time. If The Following was truly about being better than he had better get this figured out. He has a lot of goals for himself and The Following and they aren't going to be accomplished if he can't get his head out of his ass.
Kemp takes a deep breath and knows that redemption is right there. All they have to do is win on the 4th against The HR Department. All they have to do is win.
