The muffled sounds of gentle weeping filtered around the dual gravesite as the Finell and Ashton families sat on folding chairs as the Priest reads the benediction. Most of the heads are bowed in silent prayer . A few sets of lips are saying the words at the same time the Priest is. Slowly the two bronze colored steel caskets begin to lower into the graves , the flowered wreaths resting on their lids gently slide just a bit as Vincent and Syndee Ashton’s remains are lowered to their eternal rest. Sitting stoically in the first row of seats is Frank Finelli. His dark shades covering his eyes are not enough to conceal the fact that he has been crying, the moisture on his cheeks is evidence of that fact. Sitting right next to him is Lisa Marie, she has a handkerchief in her hand and is dabbing her own eyes and cheeks with it as the Priest continues to speak . Seated to Frank’s left are his father and mother, to Lisa’s right are her parents. The Priest takes a small scepter into his hand and gently shakes it, droplets of Holy water fall from the scepter and find their way onto the lids of the two caskets as they near the bottom of their respective graves. The Priest makes the “Sign of the Cross” with the scepter still in his hand and bows his head for a moment then looks up at the gathering of family and friends seated by the grave sites and directs his words to them all.

Priest: Dearly beloved friends and cherished family members now is the time to say a final goodbye to Vincent and Syndee before this solemn service has ended. Please rise from your seats and pass by their everlasting resting places and say a silent prayer of your own over them as you head back towards your vehicles. at the request of the Ashton and Finelli families I thank you all for attending.

One by one the friends and guests do as they have been asked until only Frank, Lisa and their parents are left to do so. Slowly Frank and his parents walk by the two graves and say a prayer and each of them toss in a red rose down into each grave and stand by as Lisa Marie and her parents take their turn. Once Lisa tosses her two roses in she goes to Frank and wraps her arms around him crying hard as she rests her weary head on her husband’s shoulder. Lisa’s parents finish and walk over and are consoled by Carmine and Maria Finelli and then the six of them are greeted by the Priest for a few moments and they all slowly walk from the grave sites towards their respective limo’s. Lisa walks with her parents as Frank and his father walk right behind Frank’s mother talking quietly in an effort not to be heard.

Frank: Pop, this may not be the right time to say this but. I took action to make sure the cretin that took Vincent and Syndee’s lives pays the ultimate price. I doubt he will ever survive long enough to make his trial.

Carmine: Who is handling this Frank?

Fank: I put it in the very capable hands of Salvatore Pop.

Carmine: Sal’s a good boy, he gets the job done right too. Good choice Frank. However I have an idea as well. But we can discuss it after you return from Lafayette and your CajunDome match this week. with that Slater fellow alright.

Frank: I can’t even think of that right now Pop, I doubt Lisa is even thinking of her own match right this minute either.

Carmine: Life must go on Frank, we all can’t grieve for Vincent and Syndee for the next few months. Especially you and Lisa. You both need to keep yourselves competing as hard as you both can. That is what Vincent and Syndee would expect from both of you.

Frank: Take a close look at Lisa Pop, she is not going to get over this very soon. That was her sister and brother Pop, they were almost joined at the hip at times the last year.

Carmine: I know son, and it is up to you to help your beautiful wife deal with this horrendous loss as best you can and as soon as you can.

They Finelli’s and Ashton’s reach their waiting limo’s and the doors are opened for them all to get in. Frank and Lisa get into theirs as Carmine and Maria Finelli enter their limo and Santino and Karen Ashton climb into theirs. The drivers close the doors and get back behind their respective steering wheels and the three limos slowly begin to drive off........

< Tuesday, December 11, Lafayette La. >

The glow off the television screen proves that it is on, the camera angle is a bit off center as Frank watches the ending of his triple threat match with Al Envy and Ashley Poison. Just as Frank is getting the pinfall on the downed Ashley his cell phone rings. He looks at the caller I.D. and decides to let it go to voice mail to respond later on. He had one day left before his match with Matt Slater in the CajunDome and he did want anything to interrupt his ongoing preparations. He grabs the remote and fast forwards to what he really wanted to view, the vicious attack from behind by The Guard on his opponent Matt Slater. The sight of Judas Dathan slamming the Ultimate title belt’s face plate into the face of Matt Slater makes Frank cringe for a moment. He has had a title belt smashed into his own face before also and can feel the same pain as Slater did at that very moment. Judas then climbs the turnbuckles and comes off sending his knees crashing into the face of the downed Slater with his “Krisis Kore”. Frank flinches and shakes his head and grumbles to himself for a moment.

“ Why didn’t I go out there and makes the odds a bit more even , after all Slater is a member of The Court currently. I guess Matt’s past betrayal’s have made me super cautious about trusting his intensions right now. Vanesa and Reya seem to be taking him at his word though and that should be enough for me also, but it isn’t”

The conflict in Frank’s mind plays on as does the match playback on the screen. The sight of Cera standing over the downed Slater holding the microphone and be rating the man seemed so much like Cera , it was not unexpected. What was unexpected was the devious smirk on Cera’s face this time around. It was.... It was almost maniacal in nature. Cera seemed to be having more fun than ever standing over hr former beau and letting him know what a complete failure she thought he had become. As she kept on with her ridiculing of Slater, Frank could see it was getting deep under the skin of the “Silver Knight” And this told Frank he had better get even more prepared for Slater this week or he would suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of a very determined man. Frank takes the remote and clicks the off button and the screen goes dark. He clicks another button and the camera on the tripod shifts its position slightly to face Frank so he can be centered in the lens easier as he is about to speak

Frank: That was one hellacious attack on you at Initiative 18 Matt. I am sorry I didn’t rush out there and give you a hand fending off that group of miscreants, including our Ultimate Champion. Some upstanding representative of ACW isn’t he eh Matt? And yet you are the main reason he has that belt. Had you kept your distance when Dathan and I were vying for that very title nearly three months ago, it would be around my waist and ACW would have an Ultimate Champion that could represent the company with some PRIDE. But that is water under the bridge at this point Matt. What is done is done and now you and I meet once again inside the squared circle this Wednesday night.

Frank pauses just for a moment and adjusts his posture in the recliner he is sitting in and then looks back into the lens of the camera.

Frank: We do have a history of epic battles between us Matt and yes, it is correct that I have yet to get my hand raised in victory when facing you. One thing is apparent about both of us Matt, neither of us is a quitter. And the fact that wanting to finally end my streak of futility against you is fueling my efforts this week is at the forefront of my mind. I can’t help but think that somewhere in the CajunDome, Thor, Cera , Judas and their “friends” will be watching and probably waiting for the chance to do the exact same thing as they did at Initiative 18 to you again. Only this time they will have to deal with “The Executioner” should they make that tragic mistake. We may not see “eye to eye” on quite a few things Slater, But I am not called “the most Loyal Court member” by Vanessa for nothing. Understand me Matt. Should The Guard enter the picture before, during or even after our match this week, I will not let past differences come between fighting them off at your side. When they attacked you and when Thor attacked Reya after her match with Poppa K , they attacked The Court as a whole. And that will be answered by ALL of The Court in due time.

Frank stops again and takes a few sips of water from a glass on the table and sets the glass back down .

Frank: You said that even if you are lying on the canvas bruised and bleeding you will still find a way to fight on to prove without a doubt that you are worthy Matt. And that I will suffer yet another defeat at your hands I have no dob you believe every single word and syllable of that statement Slater . The problem you are facing this week is that I also have much to prove and that I am hell bent on doing exactly that. Proving I am worthy of the respect that I have truly earned . Just like you say you have. One thing you are mistaken about Matt is that I somehow am one of the people who want you to vanish from this business and return to retirement. I don’t, I just wish you would stop with the “white hat,black hat” scenario that has followed you for years. If you truly have sided with The Court Matt, and have no other motives, once our match has ended you’ll shake my hand regardless of the outcome.as an ally and not a foe.

Frank hesitates for a few seconds then continues to speak.
Frank: Don’t be mistaken that my mind is torn between facing you and my roubles or perceived troubles with Seth Iser Matt. I am focused on you right now and will be until our match is over with. As for Seth, my “beef” with him is not out of disrespect for what he has done in this business. I is purely the way he left without saying a word to any of us. That is all. I’ll see you in the ring on Wednesday Matt, be ready for another hard fought fight between us yet again

Frank clicks he remote and he camera light goes off and he exits the room.
