It was already late by the time Night Rider got back to his hotel room. The visit with his mother had shook him up more than he had let on. Still, He had things to do and he would worry about that business another time. He had barely gotten into his room when the phone began to ring. After thinking about just letting the damn thing ring he finally was annoyed enough to pick up the receiver after the tenth ring.
Night Rider: Yeah, What the hell do you want?
Angel Fyre: Boy, Is that any way to answer the phone? Your starting to sound like me now. Anyway, I called to see if you had heard the news yet?
Night Rider: News? What, Something from the Sanitarium already? I thought they weren't doing anything more until next week?
Angel Fyre: No, I mean from the WCF? You have a match coming up on the fourth in Reading Pennsylvania against Jam Willy Jesus and TEK.
Night Rider: Wow, Awesome news! Now, How am I supposed to sleep knowing that? You know how excited I get about this shit!
Angel Fyre: I know, I just thought you would like to know as soon as possible so you can start getting ready.
Night Rider: Hell, I don't have to do a damn thing as far as getting ready. I'm always ready when it comes to getting in that ring and knocking some heads around. Do me a favor and get all of then info you can on those two and send it to my inbox.
Angel Fyre: I'll be sure and get that for you right away. Anything else?
Night Rider: Not unless you want to come over here and have a little fun for a while?
Angel Fyre: Nice try, But you know that will never work. See you tomorrow around noon.
Night Rider: Okay, Your loss. See you tomorrow.
Night Rider hung up the phone and looked around the room. It wasn't much really. Just your regular run of the mill hotel room. An old, Outdated television sat on top of a long dresser. A small table and 2 chairs was by the window. The full sized bed was smaller than the queen sized one he was used to sleeping in but he would make it work. At least it was clean and didn't have any bugs running around. He really hated staying in hotel rooms but it was better than having to drive thousands of miles all the time just to get to the arena for a match. He sat on the edge of the bed long enough to decide he wasn't tired enough to sleep. He grabbed his room key off the stand near the bed and walked out the door. Perhaps a nice walk would do him some good.
The cool night air cut through his jacket and chilled him to his bones. He didn't mind though, He had enough on his mind to keep from thinking bout being cold. After walking about four blocks he spotted a bar where the lights were still on and judging from the noise coming from inside, Was still open. Night Rider decided a nice cold beer would do him some good. He walked in and sat down at the bar and waited for the bartender to come over. Then it hit him like a rock. He looked around, The place was empty! The tables were all covered with white sheets and the chairs were all stacked along the wall. A pool table sat along one wall, Also covered up. Night Rider felt like he was losing it. Just a few moments earlier he had heard noise coming from inside here and thought the place was open. Yet here he was all alone. He was contemplating this when he heard a voice speaking to him.
Bartender: What will it be my friend?
Night Rider turned around startled by the voice when he saw the bartender standing before him holding an empty glass.
Bartender: Care for a shot of 'The Juice'? I hear it does wonders for the soul?
Night Rider: No thank you, My soul is fine just like it is. How about a Bud Light and a shot of Jack. Where did you come from? You weren't there a minute ago. Where are all of the people? I know I heard noise coming from inside here before I came in.
Bartender: One Bud Light and Jack coming right up. I have always been here, We have all been here. Just take another look around.
At that instant the noise level in the bar doubled. There were a couple guys shooting pool and arguing about who had solids and who had stripes. A lady at one table was trying her best to let a guy who was bothering her know that she wasn't interested. At another table a couple was arguing because the guy thought the woman was spending too much time watching everyone else and ignoring him.
Night Rider was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to think. He turned back around to find the bartender gone again. In front of him was a bottle of Bud Light and a shot glass of Jack Daniels. He downed the shot and took a long swig from the beer. He had no sooner sat it down when he heard the bartender speaking again.
Bartender: I hope you find everything to your liking. We don't get many strangers in here much. As a matter of fact, Your the first one in years. Your a wrestler aren't you? Got a big match coming up?
Night Rider still wasn't sure about this place but decided to play along.
Night Rider: Yeah, I'm a wrestler alright. I have my first match for the WCF coming up in a few days.
Bartender: Oh yes, So your excited about that and can't sleep right. Well, If you like I have some camera equipment set up in the back room there if you want to say a few words about it and burn off some of that excitement.
Night Rider: Shit man, That might just do the trick. What is this place anyway and How did you know?
Bartender: Lets just say that it's always here, Come on.
Night Rider followed him into an adjacent room where he saw a stage setup with a microphone on it and a video camera in front of it.
Bartender: Go ahead, Say and do whatever you want. You won't bother anyone. I'll be right in at the bar if you need anything.
Night Rider watched as the bartender left the room. He walked over to the camera and turned it on then got onto the stage and grabbed the microphone.
Night Rider: (speaking into the microphone) Hello WCF! The time has come for you all. A time of darkness that will test even the strongest at heart. It all begins with a Triple Threat match on Sunday when I step into the ring against TEK and Jam Willy Jesus. The first victims who will fall at the hands of Night Rider.
Night Rider takes a drink from the bottle of Bud Light the bartender brought in to him and sat it back down onto a stand that wasn't on the stage when he came in. Just where it came from he wasn't sure, Just like he still wasn't sure about this place. Still, He needed to do this.
Night Rider: Lets start with this guy TEK. He seems to have his hands full enough with Kaylyn Evans. Not a bad place to be in but I know she is way too much woman for him to handle. If he thinks he is going to have any chance against me when we step into that ring then he is even crazier than I think he is. I can't wait to get my hands on him! I'll show him what pain is all about. Then we have Jam Willy Jesus, This guy is out there, Waayyyy out there. Some may say he's nuts but I know better. He is nothing more than the picture of a fool. Foolish thoughts and foolish deeds lead to nothing but trouble for him in the ring. Don't get me wrong, He may be a tough guy and a self proclaimed bad ass but I'm just a little badder and a little tougher than he is used to. I am bigger, Stronger, Quicker and meaner than either of my opponents and will prove it when we step into that ring. So go ahead and count the days because it all adds up to one thing and one thing only, I will be victorious in our match while the two of you are left wondering just what the hell happened.
Night Rider finished the bottle of beer and downed the shot that sat next to it before continuing.
Night Rider: To sum it all up for those who still don't understand. Come this Sunday a new dusk will fall on the WCF. A time of darkness that will engulf the whole federation. The time for the Night Rider is at hand. You see, I come from a long line of psychos. It's in my blood. I will stop at nothing to accomplish what I set out to do. Like my opponent Jam Willy Jesus, I like to fight and I like to hurt people. This life is all I know and those who step into the ring with me will find out just what I am talking about. Get ready, Don't bother saying your prayers because they won't help you! I will be victorious and NO ONE will get in my way!
Night Rider replaced the microphone on the stand and stepped off the stage to turn the camera off. He walked out into the other room to find it as empty as it was when he first entered. Sheets covered everything just as it had before. He didn't understand it, Was he losing his mind. He walked out the front door and stepped into the bright sunlight that burned his eyes. He turned around to face the bar and noticed that the place was completely boarded up. The door he had just come through and the windows. A stranger passed by and saw him looking strangely at the building and spoke to him.
Stranger: If your looking for a drink you won't get one there. That place has been closed for years. From what I hear a bartender snapped one night and shot everyone in the bar including himself. The place has been closed ever since.
Night Rider shuddered as he felt the goosebumps cover his skin. He turned back towards the hotel and made his way back to his room.
Night Rider: Yeah, What the hell do you want?
Angel Fyre: Boy, Is that any way to answer the phone? Your starting to sound like me now. Anyway, I called to see if you had heard the news yet?
