Flashback starts
The place is a hospital in Oporto, Portugal, 24 years ago. The day is the 26th of August, 1991. Jackson’s mom is laid on a bed, holding her newborn son. Jackson’s dad his near her. Both of them are smiling.
Jackson’s mom: He is so beautiful and quiet… Look at him sleeping. He looks so peaceful.
Jackson’s dad: He is perfect. Thank you so much for letting him being born here, it means a lot to me.
Jackson’s mom: He already has an American name, so his place of birth must be the same as yours.
Jackson’s dad: I just wanted my parents were here to see him…
Jackson’s mom: They are honey. They’re in heaven taking care of us.
A nurse enters the room.
Nurse: Mr. and Mrs. White? I’m sorry but I have to take Jackson to make a few analyses.
Jackson’s mom: Yes, of course.
Jackson’s mom gives Jackson to the nurse and she leaves with him.
Jackson’s mom: Anthony…
Jackson’s dad: Yes darling?
Jackson’s mom: We’re not moving to Portugal, are we? I like this country but I want Jackson to be raised in USA… Besides, our families are there…
Jackson’s dad: Of course Mary, he will be raised in America, don’t worry.
Jackson’s mom: I love you.
Jackson’s dad: I love you too.
They kiss.
Flashback ends
Jackson White is watching TV on a hotel room in San Antonio, Texas. He is also drinking a beer at the same time. He is watching a Tv show talking about next WCF Slam.
Journalist: Besides the great main-event and the tag-team match in which 3 champions will fight on the same side there is also Occulo and Apocalypse vs Jackson White and Marco Valintine.
Jackson laughs
Jackson: I’m getting really famous. They even talk about me on TV. But I fucking hate tag-team matches. I fucking hate triple threat matches. I fucking hate fatal-4-way matches. Why do I have to fight with a man I don’t fucking know by my side? Why do I have to fight against more than one man? Last slam I didn’t win that match because Maelstorm was pinned by that coward, Occulo. But he got what he deserved after he won!
Jackson takes a sip on his beer.
Jackson: I am confident about this match. I will fight a coward and a mentally ill wrestler. AHAH. It could even be a handicap match and I would easily win. What’s Occulo’s partner’s name? Apocalypse? He picked himself a good nickname. There are so many stupid and mean people on this planet…. But he is the main reason why there should be a fucking apocalypse on Earth. Multiple personalities? What the fuck? He will be fighthing me in the ring and suddenly he will forget how to wrestle because suddenly he is a fluffy bunny.
Jackson wanted to take another sip but the beer can was already empty. He gets up to take another beer. There are at least 10 beers on the ground. He opens the fridge, takes another beer and sits watching TV. He was a bit drunk.
Jackson: Maybe I am wrong. He won’t forget how to wrestle because he doesn’t know how to! He is a sick man, how the hell will he beat the WCF’s god?! He was abused by his own father for fuck’s sake! How the fuck a father is able to do that to his son?! Well, I am stronger than ever, he won’t take a chance against me.
Jackson takes a huge sip on his beer. On the TV the journalist is talking about Occulo’s win last week.
Journalist: Occulo managed to win the match against Jackson White and Maelstorm, pinning the last one, but after the match “The Fenix” was mad at his loss and attacked Occulo. This wrestler showed a negative attitude, only showing that he can’t control himself.
Jackson: I CAN’T CONTROL MYSELF? SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT. I only did that to make a point: You can’t hide forever. Occulo might have won the match but I like I told him on Twitter, I didn’t lose! He didn’t pin me! I don’t fucking care about my tag-team match on Slam, I will get in that ring and I will beat the crap out of Occulo. He won’t be able to hide, so he will beg me to stop like his partner did to his dad. He is just a poor kid that can’t appreciate what he has. His dad is focused on work, yeah, so what? At least he is alive, at least he wasn’t murdered by a FUCKING MONSTER THAT KILLED A GOOD AND INNOCENT MAN.
Journalist: Talking about next WCF’s PPV, Timebomb, Jackson White will face Occulo on one of the matches for the Trilogy Cup!
Jackson: Seth was benevolent. He realized I am an excellent wrestler and that I don’t trust anyone so he put me on a single match against a mediocre wrestler. He really pisses me off. He wins an insignificant triple threat match and suddenly he gets an opportunity for the Trilogy Cup. Maybe Seth is just opening the way for me to win the World Championship. That’s smart, boss.
Jackson drinks a lot of beer, almost finishing it.
Jackson: I should stop drinking so much. Dad wouldn’t want to see me like this. FORGIVE ME FATHER, PLEASE.
Jackson finishes his beer and throws it to the ground. He then picks up his phone and texts the journalist he talked a few days ago.
Jackson: Want to meet me? EHEH that will seduce her.
Jackson then lies on the couch and falls asleep.
Two hours later
White’s phone vibrates and Jackson wakes up. He reads Jennifer’s text: “Sure, let’s have a drink tonight, after dinner. You’re in San Antonio, Texas for Slam aren’t you? Which hotel? I can meet you there” He replies the hotel’s name. “I’ll be there around 10PM. See you later” It was the first time Jackson was going to have a date in a long time.
Jackson (thinking): Is this really a date? Or does she know something about my dad’s murderer? Maybe she just wants to find more information about it to make an article or some report about it. Maybe she really likes me… What if Matt is right? What if I only see the evil side of everything? I needed you here dad… I miss you so much. Guide me, please…

Jennifer Adams is talking on the phone with someone using a program to change his/her voice.
Jennifer: So all I’ve got to do is having a drink with him and find out what he has been doing?
Voice: Yes, after you talk to him I’ll pay you. If I find out you didn’t meet him and that you’re lying to me you will get no money.
Jennifer: How the hell am I supposed to have a drink with him and talk about personal issues?
Voice: Give him an interview first… Then you pretend you were attracted to him and have a drink with Jackson.
Jennifer: And how can I know that you’ll pay me?
Voice: You can’t. But I know you have some financial troubles. You can make easy money with his. It’s your choice.
Jennifer: Fuck it. I’ll do it.
Flashback ends
Jackson went to the hotel bar waiting for Jennifer. It was 9:45PM so she probably would take a while to arrive. He asked for a beer to the waitress and started to surf the net on his phone. Suddenly, he heard a voice.
Jennifer: Hi Jackson!
She was gorgeous. She was wearing jeans and a white top, not very fancy, just the way “The Fenix” liked women. Since his dad died, he didn’t care about girls. He was too busy and too paranoid to have dates. But Jennifer was different. He was really interested in knowing her better, although he still was a bit paranoid about whether she was into him or just knew something about his dad’s murderer.
Jackson: Hi… You’re beautiful.
Jennifer: Thank you…
The waitress came with Jackson’s beer and asked Jennifer if she wanted something. She ordered a beer, too.
Jackson: Sorry, I thought you were coming later so I asked a beer…
Jennifer: It’s ok… I heard you are fighting for the Trilogy Cup, congratulations!
Jackson: Thank you… But I don’t deserve to be congratulated.
Jennifer: Of course you do! Ok, you didn’t win that Triple Threat Match, but I love to watch you wrestling!
Jackson: How do you love wrestling so much?
Jennifer: Well… My younger brother used to watch when he was little. I watched once and I started to like it.
Jackson: It’s difficult to find a girl like you, you’re so different...
Jennifer felt really embarrassed. At first she only wanted the money but she was starting to like Jackson. He was talking about how he never found someone like her, she was so similar to White… But she wasn’t listening. Her mind was divided between money and Jackson. What should she choose?
Jackson: Jennifer? Are you listening?
Jennifer: Excuse me, I’ll be right back.
Jennifer went to the toilet. Jackson was thinking she was acting weird. Maybe she was nervous, maybe she was hiding something. Then, Jackson looked for a man sitting in the bar. He caught the man looking at him but he quickly looked somewhere else. The guy had a tattoo on his arm: a dragon crushing an eagle. That was familiar to Jackson but he didn’t remember where he had already seen it. He was thinking something stranger was going on. Jennifer returned was really concerned.
Jennifer: I have something to tell you.
Jackson: You have?
Jennifer: Yes. But don’t think I am a bad person, I am not… I am just desperate. Someone called me and asked me to know what you’ve been doing on the past few weeks, wanted to find information about you… I would get paid if I do that. But I am starting to really like you and I regret doing that… I won’t tell them anything, I promise.
Jackson stared at that man again and he was looking at Jackson. Every time “The Fenix” looked at him he turned his eyes to somewhere else.
Jackson: I’ll be right back.
Jennifer: Please don’t leave Jackson don’t be mad at me…
Jackson: Don’t worry, just wait a second.
Jackson got up and went outside. He waited behind a wall and the man appeared. He started punching the mysterious man but he managed to pull a knife.
Jackson: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! ARE YOU HERE TO KILL ME LIKE YOU DID TO MY FATHER YOU PIECE OF SHIT? KILL ME THEN, COME ON!
The man looked around and saw some people on the street. He started to run and Jackson went after him but the man entered a van and left. White couldn’t read the plate so he entered the hotel bar again.
Jennifer: Are you ok? What happened?
Jackson: Remember when I talked to you about my dad’s murderer?
Jennifer: Yeah, you’re looking for him.
Jackson: Right, well, I think the guy who murdered him found me and want to kill me. The person that called you was here in this bar. I punched him in the face a few times but he pulled out a knife and left in a van.
Jennifer: Jackson you could’ve died!
Jackson: I am not afraid to die! It was the best thing that could have happened! One of my goals of joining WCF is accomplished! I wanted to get attention from him and I got it. He knows I am after him! It will be a matter of time until I find him and put him in jail, that’s where he belongs. But I will torture him first… I will beat the crap out of him until he apologizes for what he did.
Jennifer: I understand you, but I should take it easy Jackson… He probably is a dangerous man and may kill you without hesitation.
Jackson: I don’t care. I will find him. But that doesn’t matter for now… I’ll think about it later.
Jackson and Jennifer talked for hours but then she had to leave and they went outside. Jennifer was taking a taxi to leave.
Jennifer: I really enjoyed this evening. I hope we can meet again…
Jackson: I liked it too. Sure, I’ll call you.
Jackson kisses Jennifer. She gets a little embarrassed and smiles.
Jennifer: Bye Jackson.
She enters the taxi and waves at Jackson. The taxi leaves.
Jackson smoked a cigarette before he went upstairs to his hotel room. He was trying to remember where he already saw that dragon crushing an eagle tattoo. Suddenly, he remembered. Some weeks ago the taxi driver that took him to the airport had the same exactly tattoo. But that man he punched earlier that evening was not him. Were they many men trying to kill him? He finished the cigarette and his phone start ringing. It was his mother.
Jackson: Hi mom.
Mary: Hello son, how are you?
Jackson: I am fine mom. How about you?
Mary: I’m fine too… Look, I have something to tell you but I would like to meet you… Can you travel to Portugal after your next show?
Jackson: I think you’re lying and you just want to control me.
Mary: No son, I really have something to tell you… I’ve been hiding this from you for a long time…
Jackson: What?! Tell me now mom, what have you been hiding from me?
Mary: Jackson I prefer to talk to you in person.
Jackson: Just tell me!!!
Mary: Ok… Please don’t make this a big deal… A few months ago I met somebody… His name is Frank… We are in a relationship in four months…
Jackson: WHAT? YOU’RE BETRAYING DAD?
Mary: Jackson, I have to move on…
Jackson: MOVE ON MOM?! ARE YOU CRAZY? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED HIM!
Mary: I did love him…
Jackson: You don’t love him anymore?
Mary: Jackson it’s complicated that’s why I wanted to talk to you in person.
Jackson: I don’t want to talk to you. Goodbye mom.
Jackson hangs off the phone.
Frank: I can see it didn’t go well.
Mary: He said he didn’t want to talk to me and that I betrayed Anthony…
Frank: Don’t worry Mary, everything will be fine.
Frank hugged Mary. He was wearing a black t-shirt and there could be seen a tattoo on his arm. A dragon crushing an eagle.
The place is a hospital in Oporto, Portugal, 24 years ago. The day is the 26th of August, 1991. Jackson’s mom is laid on a bed, holding her newborn son. Jackson’s dad his near her. Both of them are smiling.

A nurse enters the room.
Nurse: Mr. and Mrs. White? I’m sorry but I have to take Jackson to make a few analyses.
Jackson’s mom: Yes, of course.
Jackson’s mom gives Jackson to the nurse and she leaves with him.
Jackson’s mom: Anthony…
