>>21452555>>21454085>>21455806With her press obligations complete and her improvised plan put into motion, Cassie slips away from the crowd, returning to the quiet alley Club Xtacy’s side exit led her onto. She withdraws her phone. Paris. She needed a partner for her showdown with the real perpetrators of the fire.
Security footage of the night’s events would never be seen by anyone but Cassie. After all, there was no satisfaction in ‘retribution’ obtained by giving names and evidence to a cop then watching an arrest take place. No. Retribution came with blood. And there was no better place to draw it out than a wrestling ring.
Cassie scrolls through her contact list, mulling over her options. Kasumi would be busy with her efforts to dethrone Duna Sands. Bringing more gold to the Widowmaker Society would certainly be a pleasing outcome. But she was therefore not an option.
And then there was Lexi. Cassie had teamed with her before, and quite successfully. Much like her sister Nikki, Cassie found some of Lexi’s lifestyle choices to be… somewhat distasteful. But unlike Nikki, she was a sensible, measured competitor in the ring. Someone she could rely on not to act impulsively. But it seemed she too would be busy, with her pursuit of Zunigoth. More gold for the Kade family, if she managed to succeed. But much like Kasumi, not an option.
That left GJPW Intercontinental Champion ArKade and her fellow Widowmaker, WWA World Tag Team Champion Kelly DiVanna. Good options to have. Cassie had only met ArKade once, and in that encounter she demonstrated the potential to be valuable asset. But, they had still only met once, and never wrestled alongside each other. Kelly was therefore the logical choice. She starts typing her text.
