A Journey's end, or a beginning?

[Cloud Strife]

I winced as I strode down the hall. The competition against Blake in the underground arena had left me sore, but I had enjoyed it. The events of the weekend reverberated in my head. I had seen the footage, heard the accounts, and was not too happy about it. I had unleashed the beast now known as Corrigan on the REW. I had groomed him this way, and I was worried where this would lead him.

The door loomed in front of me, as I strode up to it. If this was agreeable then this would mark the newest point in my journey in this business. The plaque on the door read:

Scotty Raven
REW CEO

I knocked and entered when Scotty hailed. Closing the door behind me I take the seat that is in front of his desk.

Scotty:What brings you in here Cloud? I have a lot on my plate right now, what with Caius leaving, and the PPV about to happen.

I smiled, if things worked out I would solve both of those problems for Scotty.

Cloud:That is what I came here for Scotty. I have been thinking a lot lately, since i had decided to hang up my wrestling attire so to speak.

He looked up from his desk and truly focused on me for the first time since I walked into the room.

Cloud:Good to see I have your attention. I want to still remain here to impart my knowledge on new generations that walk through the door. I want to keep being a part of this place. With Caius leaving, I had a good idea. I want to take up the post of Commissioner. I would be a valuable asset for you to have on the staff. I can remain fair, and you know that I will be able to keep these guys in line.

I let silence fall between us as Scotty studied me, I could see his thoughts racing, and I knew he was considering it. After a few minutes of silence I spoke up again.

Cloud:I understand that you need to think on this, so I will let you do just that. I know that it may take some time, so just let me know when you decide.

I stand up and head out of the room, knowing that if I ever had a chance at becoming a Mish, this was the best time to try.

Will Scotty accept? Stay tuned to find out.

[Scotty Raven]

Sitting back in his chair Scotty's eyes looking dead in to Clouds, if there is some thing Scotty have picked up over the years that is how to read some one in a short time and knowing Cloud for many of years he have come to do that. Standing up from his desk scotty pulls out a Cuban cigar first handing one to Cloud then popping the other into his own mouth, Cloud grains doing the same.

After lighting up the cigar Scotty pats Cloud on the shoulder and leads him into a side room where a long stretched out table sits in the middle of the room and REW pitucrs cover the walls a huge REW logo hang in the back round. then both slowly walk out onto the balcony.

::Scotty Raven:: You see Cloud the thing i have to look at is the fairness of all my members on the REW roster and not just your friends.

Cloud steps froward a confused look on his face, about to say his peace but is stooped by Raven who holds up a finger.

::Scotty Raven:: Now let me finish first... That is what comes first to me always have and always will, you know that and i know you know that, and i of all people knows you can be a fair man so i set you a task, if you complete this task with out getting tied up in any trouble then i will open the staff room door to you my self.

Cloud nods leaning on the baloney taking a long drag of his cigar.

::Cloudstrife:: OK Scotty there have been nothing set before me that i couldn't over come.

Scotty grains straightening his tie and standing up right, pulling his cigar from his mouth.

::Scotty Raven:: First off around this parts most people call me Mr. Raven...

Cloud lowers his head a bit thinking to himself "Damn first mistake" He looks up at Raven about to react but again sees that power finger held up.

::Scotty Raven:: I have seen many times how you take care of people in and out of that ring, and being the leader of DHS don't play to your favor ether, but I'm a man of my word you do the task you get the job... now for the task in hand. Thats all you have to do is put together a card fit for a king, that may sound easy but is don't want any trouble out side of this building, no police, no murders and i want this done with out you having to put your hands on any one and they cant you on you.

::Cloudstrife:: Not a problem Mr. Raven...

Cloud holds out his hand ready to shake to the future, Raven looks down at his hand then back up at his face.

::Scotty Raven:: I will wright up a contract for you to sign at the end of Chrisms Cheer and if all goes as planed you get to sign it live on air.

looking down at his gold rollex then back up.

::Scotty Raven:: Now with all dew respect that gives you a few hours to come up with a grate card and to reassure no one steps out of line, then when all said and done after presenting you with a contract I'll shake your hand.

Raven holds his hand toward the door, Cloud witch draws his hand and in deep though starts to walk out the door. Raven turns back looking out over the city. when he hears a voice behind him witch makes him look over his shoulder. the leather board room chair spins around and Seth is sat in the seat.

::Seth:: Is that a good idea bring in Cloud he and Blake in our board room. with they fingers in our pie.

::Scotty Raven:: REW is my pie and this is my board room Seth, they both been in this business a long time they know how things work, leave the worrying to me.

::Seth:: OK your the boss.

Scotty walking back into his office pulling the door shut, but just before it closes Raven says one last thing.

::Scotty Raven:: That I am.

Will Cloud hold down a grate card with out any trouble... only you can deiced.
