Cast
Xander Young Zaber (the Talent)
Chase "CJ" Jackson (Bodyguard)
Xander Young Zaber, better known as XYZ, lingered in the back of the room, dressed down so as to blend in with the other “normal” people.
“Are you sure about this, man?”
“What’s the worst thing that can happen?”
“You get your ass beat and embarrassed in front of a crowd full of people?”
“…”
“… what?”
“You ever heard of a rhetorical question?”
XYZ sees his opportunity and cuts into the line, making the little girl he budged in front of cry. The mother shoots him one of those “if looks could kill” faces but he misinterprets it, believing she simply recognized him as the Hollywood superstar he thinks that he is. Since she was mildly attractive, Xander slipped the disgruntled mother his business card and made a “call me” motion with his hands.
“Still not sure what you want me to do here…”
“I told you, you’re the distraction.”
“I get that part, but how do you want me to distract him exactly?”
“I don’t care. You have muscles… he has muscles… why don’t you talk about lifting weights or something?”
“I’m not just some muscle-bound meathead X…”
“You’re overthinking this, okay? I just need you to get in his way long enough for me to do what I do best.”
“And what, exactly, is that?”
“Hit-it-and-quit-it, my friend. I’m going to sneak up on Sierra, roll her up, and finish her off before she has any idea what happened.”
“…”
“That… sounded different in my head.”
“Yeah man, that’s fucked up.”
“Look, it’s like I was discussing with Izzie the other day, sometimes we can’t wait around for opportunity to come knocking on your door…”
“Oh, so Izzabelle knows that you’re doing this?”
Awkward silence as XYZ pretends to have not heard the question, doing the classic "whistle and look away", totally not inconspicuous at all.
“You are going to get me fired…”
“Whatever dude, I’m the talent and what I say goes. And I say… I want that Future Title. Besides, Sierra’s already got that self-proclaimed Supervillainweight Championship. Why should she hold two titles while I have none?”
“I didn’t think you cared about Championships?”
“I don’t…”
“And isn’t Sierra sort of your friend?”
“I mean, kinda…”
“What the hell, man?”
Xander threw up his hands in the air as he had a mini spasm attack on his bodyguard.
“Would you stop trying to confuse me with your logic!? Championships mean more exposure, exposure means more viewers, and more viewers mean more money. Now get over there and start a fight with her evil sidekick already!”
CJ grumbled something under his breath as he did as he was told, going over to distract Robert B. Goode while XYZ ninja-rolled behind the desk, sneaking up on Sierra as she was signing autographs for the Revo1 fans. Before she realized what was happening, he pulled her off her chair and pinned her shoulders to the ground as a referee made the count…
