The man sprinted towards the console that housed the trigger button for the nuclear detonator, but just before he could reach it, Kenzi tackled him from behind, knocking him to the floor. The man kicked her off of him and kipped up to his feet as she rolled into a coiled stance. The man came at her with a blinding flurry of kicks and punches which she deflected as she backed away. The man spun around and caught her in the jaw with a spinning elbow that knocked her to the ground.
“Little girl…you should just give it up right now, you can’t stop what is about to happen to the city once I trigger that bomb.” The man smiled a toothy grin as he strolled over to the console. “The end was never in doubt. You were outmatched from the start. I had an entire team of highly trained former Army Rangers behind me…and in a single day we managed to kidnap the President, cripple your national security, and gain control of your country’s nuclear arsenal. Tell me Ms. Brown, what have you managed to do in comparison to that?”
Kenzi stood up and wiped a trickle of blood from her lower lip. “Me?” She pulled out her car keys and keyed the remote, eliciting and audible beep from her vehicle outside. “I just saved a ton of money by switching to GEICO.”
The man peered out the window at the car and then back to Kenzi with a sneer. “Still making jokes, huh? We’ll see how funny it is after I press this but…”
The man’s boasts were cut short as Kenzi’s car burst through the wall, ramming the man through an adjacent brick wall in a spectacular crash that left her car a smoldering wreck. The cars hazard lights and horn flashed and sounded loudly, filling the room. Kenzi keyed the remote again to silence the alarms. “There’s nothing funny about saving money when you make the switch, bitch!”
“CUT!!” The Director yelled as set workers rushed over to put out the flames and to help the stunt man who had been hit by the car. The Director jogged over and looked at Kenzi and then cursed, turning his attention to the man being helped from the rubble. “Goddamn it Mort! You hit her in the face for real!!”
The man rushed over, knocking brick dust from his clothes as he apologized, but Kenzi stopped him. “No! It’s fine…I rolled with it and I think it will look good on film.”
Mort, still looking extremely dejected, ran his fingers through his mass of sweaty blonde hair. “Sorry about that…we were moving so fast out there and I guess I got carried away. You did pretty good with those punches and kicks. Who have you been working with?”
Kenzi smiled, her teeth red with blood from her busted lip. “A friend of mines…Nyako Shinsuzuki, she’s a professional wrester with LAW. She’s really helped me out a lot…” she wiped at her lip again, “…I need to ask her about defending that back elbow next time I see her.”
The Director waived over some of the medical staff to attend to Kenzi’s bloody lip, as he continued to scold Mort over the injury. Kenzi sat down as they cleaned up her wound, not noticing the person walking up behind her.
“You looked pretty good out there…I have to admit.”
Kenzi turned and was surprised to see her mother standing there on set. “Mom?” she looked around, “I’m surprised that security let you on the set.”
Sidney shrugged with a wry grin, “After I caught the head of security pissing in the Director’s coffee mug when his wife got cut from movie…I have been able to call in a favor or two when I need them.”
Kenzi frowned, “That’s fucking gross Mom! I can’t believe you didn’t tell anyone that you saw that!”
She laughed, “Why the fuck would I do that? I’m the one who put the guy up to doing it!”
Kenzi rolled her eyes, but couldn’t keep from laughing herself. She hadn’t spoken to her mother since their big blow up after Sidney had filmed her death scene a few weeks ago. For a while it seemed that the incident had permanently fractured their relationship, but she was relieved that her mother seemed to be making an effort to reach out to her. “It’s good to see you Mom…really good.”
Sidney smiled as she reached out and hugged her daughter, patting her on the back. “You too Baby…you too.”
“Sorry about your matches with Evie Taylor.” Kenzi added, as she pulled away from the embrace. “I know you had your heart set on beating her.”
Sidney’s mood darkened at the mention of Evie. “There will be other chances…she may have gotten the wins…but she’ll remember me dropping her on her head for a long time to come, and sooner or later…she’ll give me a chance to do it again with something on the line for a change.”
Kenzi wasn’t enamored with her mother’s fixation, but at least it seemed to be over for the moment. “So…it looks like you get a chance to face The Marquee Champion on the next show. Are you sure you are up for that? I mean…that woman has been under fire for weeks now, but she looked really strong this past weekend. No one fights as hard as when they feel cornered. Your partner found that out the hard way.”
Sidney smiled as she examined her manicured nails. “Gabby Camacho got lucky in that match…really fucking lucky! On the next edition of LAW, that luck is going to run out. I am going to make that stupid moogle-faced troll wish that she had never stepped foot in the ring!”
“Mom, I…” Kenzi started to tell her mother to be careful, but she paused as she thought about what she had just said. “…wait…what in the hell is a moogle?”
Sidney shrugged, “Fuck if I know…I think it’s some British shit.”
Kenzi stared for another moment, then shook her head. “Oh okay…well, don’t go getting carried away going after Camacho. The girl aint no joke in the ring and she’s strong as hell.” She sighed, “I guess that Army Strong Fitness System really works.”
Sidney glared into the camera and rolled her eyes before turning her attention back to Kenzi. “Cheap plug?!” She snorted, “Gabby Camacho isn’t strong because of some dumb-ass workout…she has what we call retard strength. If she was smarter than the average house cat, she wouldn’t be so freakishly strong…but I will beat her with brains and skill. She is sorely lacking in those departments and that is going to be her down fall.”
Kenzi planted her hands on her hips as she gave Sidney a sour glance. “Mom! That is NOT nice! You shouldn’t be making fun of people who have problems, first of all. Secondly, Gabby is a really nice person and there is absolutely nothing wrong with her!”
Sidney returned a mirthless chuckle, “I suppose all of you ‘special’ people have to stick together, huh?”

I swear, every time I do one of these things, the first words out of my mouth are about how horrible my mother is. Today…I break with that tradition. Not that she isn’t horrible, but I have chosen to focus on the positives today.
I am SO TOTALLY impressed by the way my Mom is handling the losses to Evie Taylor. Usually, she is out of her mind and driving everyone crazy, but I think that she has really mellowed over the last couple of weeks and maybe this is a good thing for her and the rest of us. I honestly expected another meltdown last weekend, but she took it with grace and poise…so kudos to her.
After our last big fight, I thought I wouldn’t see her again…and I certainly never thought that she would be the one to come around on her own. I know that she was very hurt after finding out how small her part was in the movie. It didn’t help that Evie found out and kinda rubbed it in. Still…she took it in stride and didn’t make a scene and she actually came here to see me with no drama. Where was this Sidney Grey when I was growing up and trying to learn about the world from my Grandma?! Maybe Evie actually knocked some sense into her.
No matter what the reason is for any of this, I am glad that it has happened and I hope that this is the way that things stay…
Kenzi ignored her mother’s crack about being a ‘special’ kid. “So…am I going to see you this weekend? I was thinking that maybe after we wrap shooting this Friday, you and I can go someplace and hang out. Just you and me…” she whispered, trying to avoid the camera microphones; “…we can even try to ditch these guys for the day.”
Sidney gave a nonchalant shrug, “Doubt it…I am probably going to be really busy this weekend. I have a lot of things to do…which is the reason I am here.”
Kenzi was frowned, “Really? What’s up?”
Sidney looked around, “I’ve been looking for Maxi…have you seen her?”
“Maxi? The makeup girl?” Kenzi asked.
“Yeah!” Her mother answered. “I need her to help me out with a little project of mine.”
“Soooooo…you didn’t come her to see me?” Kenzi asked in an exasperated tone.
She replied flippantly, “Of course I knew that I might see you here, don’t be stupid.”
“MIGHT?!” Kenzi yelled.
Sidney started to reply, but she spotted Maxi coming back from lunch. “I’ll talk to you later.” She pushed past Kenzi as she flagged Maxi down, running over to see her.
Kenzi glared at her mother for a few moments longer…

My mother is a horrible person…that is all…
Candid Moment: Sidney Grey
Okay…I guess I have the be the bigger person here and just say it; Evie Taylor is better than me. I tried to beat her twice and I came out a loser both times. I can admit when I am wrong…so I am saying it right now, I was wrong in the things that I did to her and I am sorry. I wish her the best of luck when she faces The Doc and maybe…if she wins, she’ll give me a shot at that title…if not, I won’t complain.
Now…that brings us the next episode of LAW and a woman that I do have a personal beef with…Gabby Camacho! Prancing around LAW with the title that I handed to the backstabbing cunt that didn’t even hold up her end of the deal we made when I put her over for the strap. Now…I am not going to come running out here staking my claim to the belt like other people have. It’s already pretty clear who the number one contender is for that belt…Gabriella Salinas!
(Sidney laughed as she slapped her knee)
Nyako can take her ass back to Cambodia or Laos or whatever god-forsaken shit hole she and her sister crawled out of! Brie beat the living crap out of Chink and Chong this weekend all by herself…so she should be next in line to beat Gabby like the government mule that she is!
Gabby…I know you are watching my show…probably doing one of your stupid ass workouts as you stand in front of the TV. So, listen up and listen up real good! When I get in that ring with you weekend after next, don’t bring that belt with you because our match isn’t about that. I don’t want to throw my hat into the ring as someone waiting to kick your gigantic bubble ass for that title. No…my problem with you is that you got that title match because you stuck your nose in my business and management decided to reward you. Well Baby, the rewards are all over and so is this little magical ride of yours!
When I face you in the ring…I am going to cripple you…just like Kate Steele crippled Violet and put her out of LAW! This weekend, you got seriously lucky with my partner, but that was because she was just trying to show the world that she should have been a contender for that belt instead Ms. Charlie Chan! You took advantage of Kate’s sense of sportsmanship…but we won’t have to worry about any of that. I’m not going in the ring to prove anything to anyone…I am going in that ring to put you out of LAW and vacate that title and there is no one and nothing that can stop me from doing it!
See you in the ring…Puta!
