Ucw: The Story Of The Man, Part Three (4) Date: March 22nd 1997 Location: Sayers estate “Time to wake up babe” said a warming voice. Amy already knew who it was trying to cheer her up with the smell of a full English breakfast. She opened her eyes and wiped the gunk that remained in them. She grabbed a piece of toast that laid on a tray on their bedside cabinet. She could see her companion getting dressed into his normal clothes. “Haven’t you got work this week?” she said between bites leaving crumbs on the high priced bed. Tony turned around and replied with a big grin “I decided to take the week off just to spend more time with you” Amy smiled her first smile for quite some time feeling the pain in her jaw as she did so. Tony allowed Amy some space as he left the room. She looked inside her wardrobe filled with brand new clothes. She didn’t care what she wore anymore so she picked up anything and put it upon her bruised body. As she left the room she could see into the main foyer. She expected to see her husband waiting for her, but to her amazement he wasn’t there. She checked outside in the parking lot only to see a person walking to the door, Amy now grew a fear of unexpected visitors and shouted for some help. Out ran Tony with his car keys in hand, opening the door. Amy couldn’t see who it was from where she was standing but got a clear shot at his face when Tony punched him. Amy grabbed Tony and screamed for him to stop. He took no notice and started to shout at the unwanted visitor. “What do you want Matt, another go at my baby? How about another whack at me huh?” Matt crawled backwards screaming “I didn’t do anything, I came here to apologise for my bosses actions, please don’t hurt me again!” Amy fumed in anger and stood in front of the rampaging man blocking his attack on the defenceless Matt. “you promised me you wouldn’t do anything, you gave me a promise, how can I trust you again for what you’ve done?” Tony looked deep into her eyes; he always did this if he had something serious to say. “Amy listen to yourself, they raped you and you’re gonna let them get away with it, I let that happen too many times in England, maybe you but not me, they could of killed you Amy and that is completely unacceptable!!” Amy slapped Tony around the face and spoke in her most demanding voice she could make “first of all, you go against your word, and then you endanger other people’s lives, I can tell by your eyes that you didn’t kill them thank god and lastly this guy here wasn’t there when that happened so he is completely innocent” Tony fell to his knees accepting defeat. “Well tell me Amy, what do you want me to do?” she frowned and replied in a slow clear voice “I’ve already forgiven you, but you must do something for poor Matthew here” she went to Matthews side and whispered into his ear. His face lightened up as he pushed himself up. Tony did the same and looked over to Amy not taking any notice to what Matt was doing. He climbed into Tony’s sports car and waited. Tony walked over to Amy hugging her while enquiring what she had got him into. Amy scratched Tony’s goatee, which she knew turned him on, however she instructed him to get in the car “Matt’ll explain whatcha gotta do”. Tony opened the door but before entering the car he joked, “it’s hard work keeping you pleased” Date: March 24th 1997 location: east side training facility He was pleased with the progress being made. Although inside he had deep hate for him he couldn’t deny a clear talent. “I can’t believe I have to train you for gods sake, this is so annoying” Matt always felt left out; Tony always called him names and teased him. However Matt had deep respect for him and no matter how much verbal abuse he would receive he always thought as Tony as his idol. The second day of training was almost over and Matt’s body had begun to change in size. Tony returned from a brief trip to a little present for his student, he had begun to warm up to the youngster. He presented a huge fast food meal to the pupil “don’t tell Amy ‘bout this okay, she’ll kill me knowing that she didn’t get any of this stuff” lots of work needed to be done and Tony restarted work in 4 days time with his new recruit. “Y’know boy, you can go places if you try” Matt listened carefully to what his teacher had to say. “Look at me kid, I’ve got my troubles and lets face I ain’t the best guy in the world but if you believe you can have anything you want, I grew up knowing that the very core of me was being denied and for many years I ignored what was my destiny. I feel that I’m lucky to achieve what I have got,” Matt thought deeply about what his mentor had said, “I got it, and you feel lucky that you have Amy right?” Tony just smiled “yeah I guess you could say that, she can have a hell of a lot better for me and she knows it. What stuns me everyday is why she stays, for the money, reputation, the stylish clothes or the sex to me it doesn’t matter, if she is using me to get these things I don’t care as long as I get her love, fake or not. Y’know I’ve learnt many things during my life but the most important lesson I learnt was from someone very close to me but also very far. He used to say a lot of things that meant a lot to me but one thing he said reflects in my mind whenever something bad happens, if the unspeakable happens always protect the ones of whom you love, never forget that boy. I used to think when I was a child, what changes life. I mean what makes life worth living when all people do is go to work everyday and go to sleep. When I met Amy I learnt why life is worth living, life isn’t a basic routine. When you find something worth fighting for you feel life to its very core. Morals, ordeals, culture, love, hate, friendship, family the list goes on and on but what I want to say is that, don’t waste what precious time that life brings to us, use it to your full advantage or life isn’t worth living at all, that’s the real picture of life boy. Never think why we are here just make use of the time and life that we are awarded” Tony grabbed a chicken piece and bit deep into it. He breathed hard as he continued his speech. Amy creped through the doors and listened quietly at the two without notice of her attendance. “I tell ya something about Amy though, if she left me I wouldn’t be as good of a wrestler as I am, let alone as good of man as I am, well you can’t really call me a man, I’m only a man when she is there without her.. I am still a boy no matter how much I try so yeah I am lucky and there is no one on this earth who understands how I feel about her, a feeling so strong that it is too pure for heavy handed words”. Amy rushed in crying her eyes out, grabbing Tony by surprise. She kept on saying over and over again “I love you, as much as you love me” Tony wrapped his huge arms around his “Amy” and stroked her hair “let’s get going baby”. He grabbed Amy’s hand and Matt’s head and dragged them both to his high priced sports car. He drove home with the thought of what he said and how Amy reacted to it. In his mind he was lucky and that’s all that mattered to the hardworking superstar. Date: April 2nd 1997 location: English sports centre, Manchester “well people welcome to early morning on 8 AM FM where all the stars are early in the morning, this morning welcome the ultimate champion and his wife The Man and Amy!” Tony fastened his headphones over his head and gripped his hand harder on Amy’s leg. He was always scared of things like this and always looked at others for support. The conversation over the radio was full of jokes and laughs which cooled the big man down. He also talked about the upcoming pay per view event, which was Tony’s first match back at his home country. “Well it was great talking to you guys, looking forward to UCW Ultima”. The couple walked out of the radio station and had a wonder around the town signing several autographs along the way, girls fainted in front of Tony and young boys stared at Amy. after all the fans got their piece of their heroes they retired to their hotel where Amy began to get ready for the big event later in the night. Tony sat on his bed listening to Amy sing to the sound of guns and roses “sweet child o’ mine”. The sweet notes that left her voice box stunned Tony as he smiled at the doorway around his baby. He stood up slowly and turned off the stereo just to hear her sing. She stopped quickly and shouted for him to put the song back on, of which Tony denied. She walked out with a towel around her body, another around her wet hair and a hairbrush in her hand, which in her mind resembled a microphone. Tony said in a soft voice “sing for me again” she slammed her hands on her hips like a little girl and replied in the same manner “cos you did that I wont now”. Tony grabbed her towel and tugged a little in playful fashion. She gave in holding up her towel and singing her way into the en-suite bathroom. The show was near as Tony grabbed his kit and headed for the stadium, he always went first as it took the attention off Amy. he had to pick up Matt first as he wanted to see his mentor in live action. He was a little afraid as this was the first match back for Amy since the unspeakable accident. His big furry beard stuck out from the crowd, he stroked it a couple of times, his big brown beard. His big build helped him get through the many crowds of people in the line for the big event. It was very cold and bitter, England almost always was, and it was like summer never hit this part of the world. he was used to it though, he was now successfully retired and was in a good life. But only one reason kept him in line for this event, the ultimate champion, and his son. He gave his ticket in at the booth and sat in his seat and waited for his son’s match. Another match however that caught his eye was the woman of whom his son chose as a life partner and he was proud of him picking such a fine woman. After awhile his wait finished and the man he came to see arrived for his match. He was extremely impressed by the progress that his flesh and genes had created. He was proud of his son. After the show was finished he decided to make his presence known to his boy. He wanted to show to his son what he had become. He just wanted to be a father again. He walked slowly to the main entrance of the arena and there was The Man with his wife whatever her name was. He queued up in the long line and thought about what he would say to him, how he would break the news to him in a good and sensitive way. Only a few more fans were ahead of him after a long wait, he scratched his beard several times in anticipation. Just one more fan now and his inside began to boil, he could hear his son’s voice from were he was standing. Is was a deep and commanding voice used in a way that it would calm people down whereas his wife’s voice was the typical high school drop out teen voice, his impression of her started to take a bad turn. The fan’s autograph was almost done and his beard was become very itchy. The fan walked away with a big smile and he walked over the table, which revealed his own flesh and blood. The first thing he could say was “hiya Tony” The Man looked up at his face thinking to himself “no fan knows my name…” then it suddenly kicked in, I quick tear ran down The Man’s cheek as he jumped up and grabbed his father in a hug. Amy didn’t know what the hell was going on. Date: April 10th 1997 location Sayers estate “Here you go dad” said Tony laying down a huge stockpile of baggage in the tidy and well kept spare room of the Sayers estate. “Thanks son, whatcha gonna do today?” Tony shrugged his shoulders “dunno really, UCW is being reconstructed so I gotta lot of time off” Colin the daddy, or big daddy was his old wrestler name smiled and looked around the room slowly, inspecting it closely. “Any ways see ya downstairs when you’re done unpacking”. Tony walked down the stairs and looked around for his deserted wife. She was hiding in the basement mucking around with some playing cards looking extremely down. Tony grabbed a chair and sat on it directly in Amy’s view. “What’s up baby” she looked into his eyes and then looked away back at the cards with an unhappy look about her. “Listen Tony, cos’ this is serious” Tony nodded and relaxed, when Amy wanted to say something she would make one hell of a speech out of it sometimes. He just wanted to be ready to acknowledge all that she had to say, “Have you realised that our sex life, is pretty bleak” Tony laughed and realised that this was a little unexpected. “Well I have been kinda busy and with that accident and all I thought you wouldn’t want to for awhile”. Amy rolled her eyes back is almost disbelief “I’m not being offensive or whatever but now your dads here we aint gonna do it for quite some time boy, and I am thinking about kids y’know” the fact of kids did not touch Tony at all “well if your so desperate, I gotta little time now baby” he said with a kind of Spanish accent with him, trying to act sexy. Amy just giggled away as Tony jumped onto her seat in playful fashion. Just as the sparks began to fly between the two, Colin walked in with both eyebrows raised. Tony stopped immediately and walked outside, not thinking twice about Amy who was still annoyed by the presence of Colin. If he wasn’t there she would have a lot more time with Tony but she thought to herself “if he’s happy who cares whether he spends time with me or not, as long as he’s happy”. The duo walked around the grounds of the house talking about what had happened while the time that they were separated. This conversation however would be the last nice one between these two as Colin showed his true emotions for Amy “that wife of yours, she’s a little slapper, I reckon it’s just for the money y’know, it’s all T&A. dirty little girl using my boy for stuff like that”. Tony looked deep into his father’s eyes; he threw his fist up and hit him directly in the face. Tony picked him up and threw him out of the grounds of the Sayers estate, it seemed that it would be some time until these two will finally make up. However Colin did not apologize for what he said, he believed every word. Tony respected him for that at least but Amy was the core of his life now not his father, if push came to shove, Amy would be the choice for Tony as she had actually been in his life whereas his father hadn’t. Colin picked himself up and surprisingly walked away silently as if he knew that his son would react this way. Tony locked his huge steel gates and headed back inside. Amy looked off the mansion balcony at the action happening outside, she could only feel puzzled at her family situation. As Tony walked back through the beautiful flower collections and trees to his huge estate only thinking of his father. He walked slowly for what seemed like the longest walk of his life, full of thoughts and morality. As he approached his mansion he saw the innocent face of his wife. He trundled inside to feel the security of his own home. “You okay Tone?” he looked around at the new look of Amy. She had dyed her hair brown and started to go out of her usual gothic look. “You look great by the way, oh by the way I want to have a kid”. Amy’s face said it all, she wasn’t shocked at all. “whatever you want Tony I’m behind you all the way”. Tony looked at the floor as he couldn’t bear the look of Amy, he started to feel lucky again. “it’s not just my decision Amy, I can’t bring a child into this place if your not going to love it”. Amy smiled, although Tony didn’t know it she always wanted children. She loved them very much. She grabbed his clenched hand and led him upstairs, all the rest is history… Date: April 28th 1997 Location: New Jersey state hospital “Congratulations Mrs Sayers all the tests prove positive, I believe that you’re pregnant,” said the nurse. Her face lightened up; although she was alone at the hospital she was happy for herself for once. “Where’s the father then”. Amy smiled at her and replied, “He’s not here at the moment”. She received a dirty look from the nurse of which she recognised what the problem was “look I ain’t no whore, my husbands at work okay” the nurse appeared to be shocked by the sudden spouse of energy that filled the pregnant woman. “Will you please quite down miss, don’t raise your voice at me” Amy’s face frowned in complete amazement; she couldn’t believe what was coming out of the nurses mouth. “What are you talking about?” the nurse’s face was comical, she looked as if she had enough of the conversation “that’s it, security” she shouted at the top of her voice, straining every muscle in her mouth. Amy looked around the room still puzzled at what was happening. Soon two men in police uniforms came into the room and restrained her; she continued to persist against the might of the two men. She struggled herself free and grabbed her stomach in safety shouting “don’t, you’ll kill my baby!” They managed to grab her again by the arms as they threw her onto the bed. The nurse grabbed I needle filled with morphine and almost slammed it into Amy’s arm. She slowly felt her senses dropping and the sleep seemed to seep into her body. It wasn’t long before she blacked out slowly whispering, “don’t… my baby”. “Don’t mess with me I know her rights I got a degree y’know” said the man who seemed to stroke his beard obsessively. “Are you here to collect her?” said the officer. He looked around the police station in disgust; he never liked places like this especially in America. “Yeah you could say that, is she still drugged?” The officer looked through his notes quickly and grabbed a set of keys which were rusty and looked as if they were rarely used. “You can decide for yourself, come on I’ll take you to her, do you have the papers that you had to fill out” He handed them over all filled out in scruffy handwriting. They walked through the hall of dirty cells filled with women that looked as if they were on drugs for the last 20 years, most of them probably were. The hall never seemed to end, just more cells and cells until the end of the corridor approached fast. She was in the back cell, dirtiest of all and almost smelt of dried up blood mixed in with puke. Amy was sitting on a bed that just fitted inside the cell. She had her right hand on her stomach swaying from side to side repeatedly blinking her eyes. She moved her head slowly to the sound of the lock being released, her face was bruised and her eyes were completely glazed over. “What are… yoo doin’ h…here Col!” she said struggling to find the right words. He immediately grabbed her and whispered in her ear slowly so that she could understand and swallow every word. “Listen Tony aint here okay, at the moment I’m the only person you can rely on, it might seem mad but I still want to make Tony happy, you seem to do that more than me so it’s best if your there for him, lets get outta here” Amy nodded her head as Colin grabbed her arm and wrapped it around his head for support. He began to walk out with the half sedated pregnant woman that he came to save. He slowly let her get into the back of his car so that she could lie out. He opened his driver door and looked at the sleeping beauty. He sighed “It’s gonna be a long day” he stoked his beard once more before roaring up his car ready for the go. The soon arrived at the Sayers estate. Amy slotted in her key card and started to get back in the car, the drugs had seemed to have worn out a bit. Colin leaned out the side of the car “hey your home now, whatcha doing?” Amy grinned with a homely smile “this is the Sayers estate, you’re a Sayers too aren’t you” Colin looked at the big black pearly gates that protected the estate. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt for me to come in for awhile, I gotta keep an eye on you now”. She jumped back into the car as it entered the extremely expensive but perfect Sayers estate. The car looked very different from all the limos and speedsters that filled the garages outside the estate. The red little metro looked like David, and Tony’s monster truck was the goliath. Amy climbed out and unlocked the front door for her father-in-law to enter. He walked in and looked around; just over a week ago he was chucked out of here. Amy walked to the kitchen of which Colin followed. She went behind the bar and instructed Colin to sit on the seat just by the bar. Still inspecting the place he did so starting the conversation as he sat. “Knowing Tony I’ll get chucked out again” “I won’t let him, why doesn’t he like you anyways” “I guess cos I broke his heart, I told him wrestling was fake right after he saw my first fight” “you were a wrestler as well?” “Small time but yeah, I guess Tony only wrestles because he likes it” “no, it’s in his blood, when he wrestles he has the heart of a wolf” “I know, when he does something he gives it his all no matter the odds” “it’s I real gift, that’s partly the reason I married him” “you two really love eachother don’t ya” “yeah but we’re not the perfect couple, we still have our ups and downs but we always come through in the end” “that basically is the perfect couple, look at me, I divorced shortly after Tony ran away but if that happened to you two, you guys would stick together” “he’ll be back soon” “if he starts a fight, don’t stop him, no matter what you or I do he needs to beat the crap out of me to get it out of his system, I don’t blame him” Amy looked shocked at the idea “I won’t let him do that, it’s wrong” Colin laughed while receiving a fruit drink. “Believe me, it’ll be me now, or you later” Amy’s eyes widen in shock “what? Tony would never hurt me!” Colin took a quick sip of his drink and replied slowly “if there is one thing wrong with my son, and there is, that he builds up too much anger then unleashes it without thinking about it, he’s a good enough guy but he would learn to release his anger more frequently, don’t get me wrong he loves you but when his anger kicks in, there is no telling what he’ll do”. Just as the line ended the door outside opened, the front door. “Hey Baby wassup, how was the check up? Are we gonna have a little kid?” said Tony with a sports bag in hand. “You haven’t been buying crappy cars again, that metro outside is a real laugh” Colin picked himself up and headed to the door, which lead out to the main foyer of the house, which lead out to his son. He walked through slowly “it’s a collectable son, it might be worth something” Tony looked deep into his father’s eyes with fierce tenacity. He said nothing and just instructed to the door. Colin felt that his presence was unwelcome so he walked out with his keys in hand. Just as he walked through the door he spoke “my son, if you want to fight me, do it now” Tony remained to say nothing but Colin knew what he wanted. “Very well then, we will settle this in the ring” he looked round at Amy who was watching from the kitchen door “see ya Amy, remember our little chat okay”. He walked out of the estate hearing the argument between Amy and Tony escalating but he decided that he now had to prepare for a fight in the ring that he hadn’t stepped in for over 10 years. A fight that would shake the ages in Colin’s mind. Date: May 2nd 1997 Location: Grip training centre
