(Off Camera: After Vendetta In Memphis, Tennessee)
The night went really well for Keegan, beating some no-name guy just to get his feet wet in this company. Everything was going great according to plan got big things going with McCollum planning on putting everyone within the NGW locker room on notice. But, his mood did change when he was informed that McCollum left and is not planning on coming back. That put a big wedge in something that he was looking forward to, he actually thought that maybe he would redeem himself and prove to McCollum that he can fight the cause that The Lost was going for, for a long time and not let anyone or anything distract him. But, as he thought it's the same old song and dance and honestly? Keegan is not a one-bit surprise that McCollum decided to tuck his tail between his legs and just run off before it got too hot or in this case, was about to get to that point and then the ship sank really fast.
His mood just went down hill as well but he didn't let anyone know that. He just quietly left the arena once Vendetta went off the air not really want to be hounded by anyone especially the backstage people wanting to know his feeling about this whole thing. More than likely he would probably just wind up hitting one of them and not think twice about it or the fine he might get. So, instead, he got in the rental car and just left. Just him and the road for the time being anyways. He kept his focus on the road as cars passed him by, he looked over at his rearview mirror he saw a car behind him he didn't think much of it as he kept on driving.
Moments later what felt like a long time Keegan pulled up to the parking lot of Waffle House. He was glad that there are Diners who are opened real late and don't want the hassle of going to other places. He parked in front of the building, he stopped the car as he turned off the car he turned to look over to his right he saw the same car that was following him at the highway. Now, he can see the color of the car it's a black Sedan that he knows much but he can't see the driver as the windows are tinted which is hard for him to see. He shrugged his shoulder as he opened the door, he got out of the car as he closed the door he looked at the car one last time as he just ignored it and walked to the entrance. He grabbed the door handle as he pulled it opened.
He went in seeing as there aren't that many people. Maybe some late nighters or the usual drunks who just came from the club and need something greasy to eat. Keegan walked over to the very back as he took a seat by the window. A waitress came on by she stopped as she has a pen and a little notepad in her hand. She didn't look much younger probably in her late twenties, long blond hair pulled up in a ponytail. She looked at Keegan.
Waitress
My name is Allison and I'll be your waitress for the evening. What can I get you to drink?
Keegan Ryan
I'll have a glass of water.
Allison nodded her head as she turned around and walked away. Keegan looked out the window, watching the cars passing by and people walking among the parking lot. Allison came back as she put the glass of water on the table.
Allison
Are you ready to order?
Keegan turned his attention over towards Allison as he gave her a little smile before turning back to a serious look.
Keegan Ryan
I would take a Texas Bacon Patty Melt and I want the Hashbrown to be smothered.
She nodded her head as she wrote it down she smiled as she turned around and walked away. Keegan looked out the window again just getting lost in his thoughts for a few moments. He didn't hear the door open nor did he care who was coming in. He kept looking off into space until from the corner of his eyes he saw someone sitting in front of him at the same table he is. He turned his attention to fully see who it is and he rolled his eyes.
Keegan Ryan
So, you're stalking me or something?
Don't be like that. You know you miss seeing me.
Keegan Ryan
Ha! You're really funny Damon. If I remembered correctly the last time you and myself were under the same roof you got your ass kicked. No, I don't miss you and I wish you would just go away.
At least we know who the mystery man is none other than Damon someone that Keegan knew all too well and had a dislike for him from the beginning. But in his defense, he picked Damon for a reason but then realized he made a big mistake. He was hoping that he would get away from people like Damon but that isn't the case here.
Damon
True, I got my ass kicked but ever since that night I pretty much have been keeping track of you. And I find it funny that you would go back to McCollum when you was so hell bent on destroying him and The Lost. You picked me as your partner cause you thought I would be the one to take down The Lost with you.
Keegan Ryan
Yeah, we all saw how that played out. You started to believe in McCollum's bullshit and you even insulted Rebecca when she hasn't done anything to you. Besides, I am not with McCollum anymore he disappeared again. What's it to you what I do anyways? You never give a shit you made it perfectly clear.
Damon just sat there not saying anything. Allison came back as she brought Keegan his food she placed it on the table she then turned her attention over to Damon.
Allison
Can I get you anything?
Damon turned his attention over to Allison he smiled.
Damon
I'm good thanks.
Allison turned around and walked off. Damon's expression changed as he turned his attention over to Keegan still remembering the question he asked. Damon wasn't going to answer that one right away. He interlocks his hands together as he looked at Allison walking away then back at Keegan.
Damon
The pretty little thing isn't she?
Keegan Ryan
Don't you even start.
Damon
What? I am just having a normal conversation.
Keegan glared at him then he looked down as he begins to eat his food. Ignoring Damon and his antics which sends a chuckle to the man such a typical response well that's what he thinks. Keegan looked up at Damon as neither of them have said a word finally Keegan broke the ice.
Keegan Ryan
Why are you stalking me? You got to have a very good reason to stick around and give someone like me that much attention.
Damon
I've done some research and stumble across some old matches of yours. It's very easy to get a hold something like that. Well, I've come to realize that you are not that much of a wuss after all and I know for a fact that person is still inside of you just waiting to come out.
He can see where this is going he holds his hand up.
Keegan Ryan
Let me stop you right there. I know where this is going and I am not interested in going back to what I used to be. Like that little stunt, you pulled a moment ago? I knew what you was doing and I am not going to play your sick game.
He looked down as he continued to eat. A smirk etched upon Damon's face as he leaned back.
Damon
You are a terrible liar. If you didn't want to go back to who you used to be then why go back to McCollum? Clearly, there was something about him that drawn you back to him even tho he put you through hell and he even gave me the offer to join The Lost back in Atlantic City.
Keegan Ryan
I know about that offer, that's why I couldn't trust you at all after that for the simple fact that the moment I had my back turned you would stab me in the back. Now, onto your question as to why I decided to team with McCollum again? It's complicated to explain but like I said he is gone and there is no more Lost so you can just go and crawl back to the hole you came out of.
This was very amusing to him to see the way Keegan reacts to it all.
Damon
You know it's the truth. And you will figure it out soon enough.
Damon got up as he walked away leaving Keegan by himself as he thinks what is going on right now and how he is going to get away from someone like Damon. It'll be a hard task but he'll do it.

"Auroa, you think you're really funny huh? Thinking I am just another crazy guy that you can beat? HA! Wrong! See, I am a different kind of person someone that you won't be walking all over. Sure the whole The Lost thing was a bust and I knew that was gonna happen since McCollum is not that reliable. But that doesn't mean I am gonna lose my focus and let someone like you beat me.
I will bring my A game to this fight and I will prove to you and everyone wrong thinking that I won't last here and my win two weeks ago was just out of luck. Luck has nothing to do with it I just simply did what I do best and that is to become the best in this company and if it means beating you then so be it.
You can underestimate me all you want Auroa but at the end of the night and when the smoke is clear I will be the one to come out victorious and you will be just laying on your back and rethink what you did wrong.
You are going to need all the luck you can get right now. I will show no mercy to you and you will know that my nickname stands true. I am not going to coward in fear or whatever you want to think. I will just let action speaks louder than word. Hope you aren't all talk.
