Larsen stands outside Tau's wearhouse. He watches as the headlights of a car appear in the distance.
That's it, what little chance I had to back down, is now gone. I have to go all the way. I've already gone further than I ever planned to go. I feel more and more of myself slipping away with every day that passes. I fear that I may simply just become one of them. That must not happen. I have to remember why I am doing this. I have to keep my focus on finding the truth. Maybe then there will be redemption for me at the end of the road... maybe. Or maybe I'll have to pay for my crimes... either way as long as I know who I am, I will be satisfied.
The car pulls up and Tau steps out with two other men.
TAU:
"Larsen my friend, it's finally time."
LARSEN:
"The boss is ready to meet with me?"
TAU:
"Not exactly. Only the top level advisors meet with the boss. You will be meeting with the second in command Nassor. If you can convince him that you can be trusted, you will be granted a meeting with the boss to discuss your future."
LARSEN:
"How does this work?"
TAU:
"You will be blindfolded as soon as we get in the car, and will remain that way until we step into his chambers. Then we will remove the blindfold. You will ask no questions, only provide answers to the questions asked. You will not speak from the time we get into the car, until Nassor speaks directly to you. If any of these rules are broken my associates here have instructions to kill you on the spot."
LARSEN:
"I understand. Let's get going."
Larsen gets in the car and he is blindfolded. They drive to an industrial area of Johannesburg. The go into an abandonned warehouse and take the stairs down to the basement. Tau opens a hidden door and the two men lead Larsen down a damp, darl hallway.
This place feels strangely familiar. The sounds, the smell. I feel as though I have been here many times. This only further confirms my past involvement with this organization. This all seems to familiar.
They enter a door and a large man sits in a chair in the large room. Tau removes the blindfold. Larsen takes a moment to regain his focus, and looks long and hard at Nassor.
This man seems very familiar. I feel as though I know him. I don't get the same feeling from him that I do from Tau. I don't feel any respect or kinship with this man. I feel disgust, hatred and a small amount of fear.
NASSOR:
"Welcome, Larsen Van Der Kamp. I have been looking forward to this meeting. Please, have a seat."
Larsen slowly sits in a chair across the desk from Nassor. Larsen appears to be quite nervous.
NASSOR:
"First, allow me to thank you for dealing with our friend Lesedi. I have spoken to my friends at the Police Department, and they have assured me that Ule Patel will not be investigating you any further for the shooting."
Larsen nods in recognition of the statement.
NASSOR:
"Tell me Larsen, where does your sudden interest to work with us come from? It seems to me that months ago you were threatening our good friend Tau, and now you want to be his friend... Why?"
LARSEN:
"I am afraid that my life is rather complex. I have struggled for many years to learn the truth of my past, but hit brick roads at every turn. I was willing to stop at nothing to find out the truth. When I found out that Officer Streppner was lying to me all along, I realized that I was focused on the wrong enemy. I realized that it was time to embrace what only comes naturally to me."
NASSOR:
"Yes, you are a very good killer, there is no doubt there. Tau has full confidence in you, I have to admit, I didn't believe that you would actually go through with killing Lesedi. I was surprised to learn that your conscience didn't get in the way. That was always your problem. With every assignment you received you always had to battle your conscience."
Larsen looks at Nassor with a puzzled look.
NASSOR:
"Does it bother you that I know more about you than I am telling."
LARSEN:
"Of course it does. I want to know everything you know, but I am willing to wait patiently and prove myself worthy of receiving the information you have."
NASSOR:
"How do I know that this whole thing isn't just Streppner's way of getting another man on the inside."
LARSEN:
"To be fair sir, moments before your men shot Streppner, I was ready to do it myself. Why would I nearly kill a man that I was working with."
NASSOR:
"I want to trust you, I really do. We could use someone with your skills. Patel is becoming very agressive in trying to shut us down. He is much more aggressive than his predecessor. We are on the verge of a war. Allow me to discuss this with my brother. If he wants to meet with you, Tau will find you. Thank you for coming."
Larsen nods and walks away. Tau escorts him out of the room. He places the blindfold back on and leads Larsen to the car. They drop Larsen at his apartment and remove the blindfold. Tau speaks to Larsen through the window.
TAU:
"You did well. I was pleased. We will be in touch my friend."
The car drives away. Larsen watches as the car leaves.
Now I know for sure, my involvement with them runs deep. How deep is the question? I still can't believe that I was just another soldier in their operation. There must be more to it. Now I simply have to stay the course, and see where it takes me. I just hope that I don't get in too deep.
--------------------------------------------
"Strangely enough in this tag team match, the only person that I dislike is my own tag team partner. I will admit, I was impressed with Teen Throb when we faced of 2 weeks back. He pushed me hard, harder than I even expected, and I expected a lot. He matched me nearly move for move, but as usual he could not get the big win. Teen Throb is well known for falling short when he gets his big shot. It happened at Spring Breakdown, it happened in KCW when he tried for the U.S. Title, and it happened again on the last Fever. I greatly respect him for his abilities, but I also greatly despise him for his arrogant, self absorbed ways. Now I have to call this man my partner. I don't work well with others, especially those that I do not respect. However I am well aware that I alone will be no match for Ian DeTornado and Kryptochild. I need to trust that Teen Throb will not let his egotrip get in the way of us winning this match. This primadonna better keep his focus in the ring and off of his fans, and his image. I can only count on the fact that his ego would not be able to withstand 2 losses in a row, and he will therefore give his all. I have said it before and I will say it again, I see world championship potential in Teen Throb, but he doesn't have the heart of a champion. Come to Fever with the heart of your cousin Fletch, and the talent that you possess and we will be successful, I guarantee it.
As for my opponents, I am glad to have another chance to stand toe to toe with Ian DeTornado. He has all the talent, and all the heart in the world. Every time I have had the privelege to lock horns with the champ has bee a joy. We have faced off twice, the first time you were victorious, on the second occasion I was victorious. We each hold one victory, but neither of us were the one's who were pinned in said matches. So in that light we have never really had the chance to see who the better man really was. Apocalypse Now will be the first time we face off one on one, and I very much look forward to it. This time however it will not be just you and me. Though there are two other men in this match, rest assured you will be the man I am gunning for. I will seek the pinfall over you my friend. I respect you greatly, but I also desire to show the world that I am the better man. I want to walk into Apocalypse Now knowing that I got the better of you. I know that you will be doing the same. Neither one of us want to be on the losing side of this one, so I fully expect you to be bringing your best. This mat just seem like a Tag Team warm up match for our future showdown, but you and I both know that there is much more to it than that. This is about entering Apocalypse Now with the momentum, and I refuse to give you that advantage.
On the other hand we have Kryptochild. I have no issues with you, and I have no interest in facing you. I find what The Sedition is doing to you, despicable. You and I share a common enemy, 'The Cowardly One' Gabreal Martin. I am saddened by how he has seeked to humiliate and embarass you just to throw it in the face of Michael Saint. I am sad that a man of your character has been forced to be a pawn in Martin's personal war with Michael Saint. I will not seek to embarass you. I will not add insult to injury by referring to you as El Super Beasto. To me you are Kryptochild. I don`t even care to face you, so I offer this advice. Stick to your old nemesis Teen Throb, and stay out of my way. If you decide to try to get between Tornado and I, I will shut you down. I don`t care how big and strong you are, I will stop you in your tracks. I would love nothing more than for you to leave the ring with your hand raised in the air. In fact, I would rather have you standing in my corner than the Pop Princess Teen Throb. At least I would then know that my partner and I are on the same page. Of course that would never happen. That`s not the way of The Sedition. The last thing they want is for you and I to work together. They know that there is strength in numbers. Divided you and I are no match for them, but united, we could stand a chance. Unfortunately, Rev and Gladiator would never let that happen. So instead we are on opposing sides. All I ask is for you to stay out of my way, and I will do the same. If the night ends with me defeating Tornado I will be happy. If the night ends with you defeating Teen Throb, I will be happy. I know that a personal victory for you will be a defeat for The Sedition.
As for our fearful leaders Rev and Gladiator, I will say this. You can`t shield your golden boy forever. I will eventually get my hands on him. You have tried to hold me back ever since I got here and declared that I was coming for The Sedition. You cheated me out of a victory over Gabe at Spring Breakdown, you tried to cheat me out of the title shot by sending out your washed up goons to take me out. I promise you this, I will not go away. I will continue to be a thorn in your sides. Mark my words, when I am finally through with Gabe, I am coming for the two of you. Until then, I`ll keep winning. Maybe once I am Champion Gabe will stop ducking me. Now I just have to make sure that comes to be."
