The Scene opens with Syn exiting the hotel he was staying at in with a duffle-bag in and, wearing a Black label Society t-shirt, faded jeans, and a pair of sun glasses. Kai was coming back to the states from Japan today after , and, being the “Good big brother” that he was, he was going to pick him up along with his new disciple, Jin. He begins to walk towards the parking lot, when he hears someone calls out to him.
???: Yo! Syn! Wait up!
Syn turned around and rose a brow as a young man (Well, younger than he himself) sped down the steps and came to a stop next to him. He was a few inches smaller than Syn, and didn’t appear to be over the age of at least 18. This was Jin, Syn’s new recruit. He was an ideal addition to Syn’s little brood of the Outcasts and Martyrs: he was virtually alone in the world (like he and his other Disciples), in desperate need of guidance and acceptance (Something Syn is more than familiar with, due to his own past), and had an enormous amount of potential. But unlike Kai, who showed very little, if any signs of emotion, or Alisyn, who seemed to be calculating and observant most of the time, Jin wore his emotions on his sleeves and was very easy to read for Syn. Whether it was due to his age or not, Syn had no desire to find out. Syn didn’t spare him a second glance as he continued to walk towards his car.
Syn: I told you to be ready an hour ago, Jin.
Jin gave Syn a sheepish grin as he tried to keep up with his new “leader”.
Jin: I know, I kinda got distracted by that re-showing of the Pay-Per-View.
This made Syn slow down for a moment as his mind drifted back to the pay-per-view. He hadn’t given it much thought beyond the countless meetings and gossip going around backstage about the events that took place. He had won The World Heavyweight Championship and gotten sweet, sweet vengeance upon Christopher Flair. But less than 5 minutes into his reign, chaos breaks loose, and names from a federation he had thought had long since been dead had stormed the ring and attempted a hostile takeover. In his point of view, it was his ideal way to start off his second title reign. Syn continued to ponder these new development as he opened the door to his car and got in, started the car, and peeled off as he and Jin drove to the airport.
Jin: Syn, do you mind if I ask you something?
Syn gave the teenager a curious glance, but otherwise motioned for him to continue as he continued driving.
Jin: What are you planning to do about the whole PWA thing?
Syn gave no outward reaction to the question, causing Jin to continue.
Jin: I mean, you always seem to have a plan for something like this. I was just wondering what it was this time.
Syn still didn’t give a reaction as he turned and made his way onto the freeway, before he gave a dark chuckle.
Syn: Jin, I’m an individual who has a firm belief that knowledge is power. With the tiniest shred of knowledge in my hands, someone like me, if left un-attended to, is a very DANGEROUS person. So, after we pick up my dear younger brother, I’m going to find out a few things about ACW’s new guests and perhaps a few people under ACW’s banner as well.
At the last sentence, Jin shot Syn a confused look.
Jin: You don’t trust people in ACW?
Syn snorted.
Syn: I don’t like, much less trust people in general, young one, but that is beside the point. I know that there are several people in the company who either were affiliated with PWA at one point in time, or they know what type of threat they pose. I hold no loyalty towards ACW by any means, champion or not, but I refuse to allow myself to be caught off guard.
Jin just nodded in acceptance of Syn’s answer as they drove the rest of the way in silence as the scene faded out.
---------------------------------------------- (30 minutes later) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Scene opens with Syn pulling into the airport parking lot, Jon looking a bit annoyed and Syn was twitching slightly in agitation.
Syn: I. HATE. Traffic jams.
Jin nodded in agreement as they exit the car and walk towards the airport. They enter the building and had to go through security and a metal detector.
Security guard 1: Please empty all objects from your pockets before stepping through the detector.
Jin went first, taking his Cell-Phone out of his pocket and placed it into a container, before stepping through the machine. He made it without the machine beeping, and quickly got his phone. Now, it was Syn’s turn. Syn emptied out his pockets, and was very aware that the security guards, as well as Jin, were all giving him a strange look: He pulled out a cell phone, several switchblades, a sharpened pencil, a piece of paper, and his keys and placed them all in a small container.
Security Guard 2: That’s a lot of sharp objects to be carrying around.
Syn turned to the guard and gave a very false Sheepish smile, fully intending to lie through his teeth.
Syn: Er, I like to make sure that I’m protected at all times.
Security Guard 2: I can see that with the switchblades there. But why the extra sharp pencil?
Syn: (Shrugs) I’m an insomniac sir. I write a lot in the night to relieve the stress I feel from not getting enough sleep. The, uh, note there should be enough proof of that.
The guard looked suspicious for a moment, then reached down and picked up the note. Keeping his eyes on Syn, he unfolded the note and handed it to the other security guard who started to read it. Syn waited as the guard reads over his note, and then looks up.
Security Guard 1: It’s clean. It’s only a list of songs.
The second security guard continues to eye Syn suspiciously, and then sighs as he motions for him to go through the detector. Syn walks through and gets no beep, retrieves his things (Again giving a false smile at the guard, who was still eying him), and walks with Jin over to seats that were near the terminal to wait for the plane to land.
Jin: When should Kai be landing?
Syn turned around in his seat and peered over his sunglasses a bit
Syn: in several minutes, depending on the flight.
Jin nodded as Syn pulled out his cell phone and looked through it, before raising his eyebrows as he saw that he was scheduled to compete against several PWA wrestlers. He gave off a very dark smile as he saw who it was he would be facing.
Syn: Ah, it seems as though things get more interesting.
Jin was confused by this, but let it go as a few moments later, both he and Syn look and see that Kai’s plane has pulled in and landed. They wait as the passengers disembark the plane, and, finally, see Kai get off of the plane, carrying two suitcases. Syn hops up and goes to greet him.
Syn: Welcome home, little brother. I trust that you’ve had a good time?
Kai just gives Syn a nod of acknowledgement, as well as Jin, before the three go to leave the airport. They load all of Kai’s luggage into the trunk, and get into Syn’s car. Syn started the car, and then drove off onto the highway, on their way to the next city as the scene fades to black.
