The shot is filled with complete darkness but an array of bangs and clattering can be heard along with the yelps of a familiar voice. Then, just like a scene from a horror movie, a torch comes on. It shines up on to the face of ‘The Prodigy’ Grace Taylor as she darts her eyes from side to side.
“So, I've decided to shoot this from a top secret location. I’m not a stupid person; I know there are lunatics lingering about looking to take me out, just like they did Carter. So until Killshot I’m keeping my whereabouts secret. I've got to be at my best on Sunday, and I’m not risking letting those goons get their hands on me before then!
The reason behind why I’m in hiding this week is Marty Sunshine. He can deny it all he wants, we all know he was behind that attack on Carter; just like he’s behind my match this week. I took the decision to not allow my daddy to pick my match because I know what everyone would think. There would be claims of favoritism, and arguments made that I didn't have to work as hard as everyone else – well I’m not allowing that. If anything, I've now put myself on a harder path than the rest and find myself faced with three of the toughest and meanest wrestlers on the roster.”
Suddenly the light goes out and the sound of what is presumably Grace hitting the torch is all that can be heard. After a few thumps the light comes back on.
“Where was I? Oh yeah, the three brutes. Marty’s placed me in a fatal four-way tournament match for the Empire Championship, and everyone presumes it’s to see me beaten to a bloody pulp and left lifeless in the middle of that ring. I have another theory though.”
A smile crosses The Prodigy’s face as she contemplates one such theory.
“Initially, I thought I was screwed, I’m not going to lie. Words used to describe them? Violent, aggressive, sadistic, cruel - you get the idea. However, then I looked at things a little closer and you know what I realized? I’m the favorite.”
Grace grins and nods slowly at the camera.
“My debut match? It was a triple threat, and it was also round one of a tournament for the top tear title - I won. The second round was a triple threat which I also won. I haven’t lost a match yet and I couldn't be more comfortable going into this one. The other guys can’t say the same thing.
On the company website it reads, ‘Jimmy hates any match where he doesn't have to be pinned for an opponent to win’. Poor Jimmy Kort’s going to be at his least comfortable, and with his average composure I think his idea of ‘kicking-back’ is for the best.
Now on to Vladimir. My high flying style ‘frustrates’ him and then guess what happens? He lets that temper get the better of him and loses focus. Can the guy with already poor focus really afford to lose any of it in a match requiring you to keep your attention on three other people at once? I don’t think so.
The final brute in this match is Kodi Jackson. This man cited me as his biggest threat. Now, as flattering as that is, he also called my flawless record ‘luck’. I've got some luck for you Kodiak, you’re prone to making mistakes and much like Vladimir you let your temper get the best of you. With luck on my side, what’s the chance that happens again and I capitalize on it? I’d say pretty high.
Marty's put me up against people that on the face of it, I stand no chance against. Despite what's happened to Carter, my focus will not falter. I have not only the best focus, but I'm the most composed in situations like this. Not only do these men have the pressure of this being a title tournament, but they've also got the added pressure of having to do what everyone expects - beat me. Something no one's ever done. These guy's aren't built for that pressure.
Could it be that Marty wants me as his champion?"
Suddenly there is the sound of ringing in the background. Grace mutters to herself.
"Not now..."
The ringing continues. She tries to reshuffle herself but accidentally slips and tumbles. Suddenly there is a large burst of light as Grace hits the floor having fallen out of her closet. She see's Carter peering through at her from the sofa, impatiently ringing his bell. Grace sighs heavily.
"To be continued - from a new secret location!"
