“Who the fuck do you think you are?!” Savage is pacing back and worth drenched from the pouring rain. He has his hand up on his brow trying to process the information. Venus is sat on a doorstep of a closed restaurant watching her old friend pace. They are on a popular nightlife strip with crowds of people dressed up going to and thro the clubs walk past on this rainy dull night. “This is the first time i’ve seen you, in what, in fucking years? Your boys try choke me one! And now you want me to become a professional wrestler! What the shit the bitch?”
Venus waits a moment to contemplate her response. “This is a real chance. I’m out. You can be too,” she begs him. He continues to pace around avoiding eye contact with her, his shock is coming out in rage. Venus tries reaching out to try grab his hand but he pulls it away, “I know this is a strange offer, but you can put the streets behind you. All you have to do is fight in front of an audience instead of an alleyway.” He stops for a second staring right at her, “I’m not a circus monkey!” He yells before walking off, she quickly jumps up to follow him down the block.
“Hey! See it more like, my, protection,” trying to get his attention back Venus grabs his arm spinning him around. With his head in his hands, “I’m good at protecting you. But i don’t like these fuckers you rolling with.” She leads him to sit back down on the curb. “They okay, it's a character you know, a bit like you when we would be holding someone up. They have a mission they feel passionate about, but to get people to listen they have to play a certain role,” she explains grabbing his hand to hold onto, “If there is anyone in this city that deserves to find a way out with me it's you. You saved me so many times and been a close friend. Just come with me, and we can be done with this place.”
“We have to go!” Savage says in her ear as he jumps up almost yanking her up with him. He dives into the nearest alleyway to hide behind a dumpster, “what’s wrong with you!” she yells following him in, bringing attention to themselves from the surrounding clubbers. “What are you doing?” Savage pokes his head back around the dumpster, “The G across is a fucking mark that's out for me. Get your ass down.” She joins him hiding in the alleyway.
They stay quiet for a moment buts it’s too late. The obese gang member in a tracksuit minding his own business across the street notices the commotion. With him is three bald meathead hard men look a likes all dressed in suits. He waves at them pointing at the alley directing them to go check out the chaos. As they cross the street the hoards of clubbers stay out thier way not wanting to get involved in any trouble. Two of the men reach inside their jackets as if they are ready to pull out guns.
Soaked through and stuck hiding in a thick puddle, Savage keeps a lookout. Seeing the thugs heading towards them he looks for an escape from the the alley but seem to be tramped by barbed wire topped fencing. “Okay we have to fucking fight our way out of this,” he suggests. She looks at him with surprised expression, “Are you kidding, look at the size of them.” Savage waits for the three men to enter the alleyway still yet to draw their guns. He slowly pulls a switchblade out of his pocket, slightly opening it and waits for the closest to approach the the bin. In a single motion Savage slides around the dumpster to stab the goon in the ankle with the blade. He launches up with an uppercut knocking the guy out.
One of the gangsters sprints towards Savage while the other draws his pistol and aims towards them. As the gangster approaches Savage kicks low bending his knee. He was going to throw a punch but as his knee buckles Savage catches his fist snapping his arm across to spin the man. Locking in a choke hold Savage can now use him as a human shield against the gun aimed at him from the last gangster. Venus stays behind Savage hiding behind him safe from any gunfire.
“This only ends one way,” the gangster with the gun yells down the alleyway. Savage pokes his head out from behind his hostage, “With you in the fucking ground mate! Walk away!” he replies. Both men squash the space edging towards each other slowly. The gangster fires one round into the air as a warning shot. Savage laughs, “Not scary,” he whisper under his breath. Once close enough Savage launches his hostage at the gun wielding goon, throwing his aim off. Before gathering his bearings the goon is knocked down by Savage following up with a diving superman much right behind the the body of the falling hostage. All three man hit the concrete at the same time. The gangster rolls over to try reach his gun but Venus stomps her foot down on his hand blocking him. He looks back in time to watch Savage drop his backfist into the gangsters face, knocking his head into the concrete.
Venus helps lift Savage up to his feet. “This is the life you want to live?” she asks. He shoots her a dirty look before stepping back out of the alley way. He stares across the street making eye contact with the fat gangster waiting for his mob to step out victorious. He takes only a minute to realise Savage stands tall at the entrance of the alleyway instead. He takes off down the block as fast as he can not even taking a moment to look back. Savage turns to look at venus, “Something has to be easier than this life, let's do some wrestling!”
