EVPW's resident legal beagle Mr. Higgins, who bore a striking resemblance to John Lauranitis, nervously swung left and right in his office chair whilst fumbling through the last few pages of Amelia Abernathy's revised contract. Her big media day event had turned into a disaster thanks to Envy and it had directly influenced the very contract he held in his possession. He checked his watch and stood up quickly as Amelia and her lawyer, Mr. Collins, knocked on the door and came in. The man representing Miss Money Bags looked more like a mean bulldog than a human being, and despite having been assaulted by Envy previously, Amelia looked pretty as ever. They all shook hands and got the niceties out of the way before they sat down.
"Thank you for coming in. First and foremost I would like to extend my deepest apologies for the actions of Aryana Renfield at the media day event. I would also like to apologise for KingBear and Vladimir being tied up with other obligations at the moment. Normally you would be dealing with them, but I have the same authority to sign off on certain contacts and have been given the green light on this one. Now about this contract. We thank you, Ms. Abernathy, to agreeing to donate such sizable amounts to EVPW so we can get a new butchertron, other amenities, and of course your willingness to rent out certain venues for us to hold our shows at. It is very generous of you and shows us just how deep your respect and loyalty goes for our organization. There's just a few things that I can not go along with in this contract. We can definitely restructure the parking lot so you can have an entire lot for yourself and your entourage. We'll just tell the boys to park elsewhere. No big deal there. Having your own wing in the building is doable to, though there will be some pissed off guys looking to give you a piece of their mind over it. But we can work it, no problem. Valet parking? Absolutely. Gotcha covered. We will also allow permit you to employ your own security detail alongside ours, since apparently ours is somehow lacking. But there's two other things we need to discuss. We can not agree to a rule that would prevent Amelia's opponents from striking her in the face. That's just unrealistic and it is not fair to her opponents."
Mr. Collins cut him off sharply to protest but Amelia interjected. The two huddled for a moment and Mr. Collins came back to face his counterpart across the desk, a somewhat surprised look on his face.
"Ms. Abernathy is fine with the face hitting provision being removed. Let's move on to the second thing you wanted to discuss."
Mr. Higgins pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes and sighed.
"According to what you wrote in here, you want Aryana Renfield to issue a public apology, on air, to Amelia and you also want her to write a 5,000 page reprimand essay on why it is not polite to randomly assault people. I seriously doubt Envy will agree to that."
Mr. Collins scoffed at the notion.
"We're not negotiating with Envy, we're negotiating with EV PW. We don't care what she agrees to, the woman will do as specified in our contract. If Envy doesn't want to go along with it then you make her, and if you can't make her you need to grow a spine and terminate her employment here. EVPW has a reputation for letting the inmates run the asylum and I think it is about time you took control back from them. With Amelia's financial influence and this Alliance you have formed it would be nothing but logical to start the take back program right here in this room. What Ms. Renfield did was uncalled for and needs to be dealt with. You are lucky Ms. Abernathy didn't press charges on her to begin with. We will not budge on this stipulation of the contract."
Higgins studied the two in front of him. They meant business. They were serious and determined. Such things were indeed needed desperately and to let a fed savior slip through his fingers would be catastrophic. He knew the potential consequences to his actions but he was also positively stirred by the man's words. After only a few moments of contemplation, Mr. Higgins slammed his hand onto the table and smiled.
"We're in. It's a deal. Welcome to EVPW."
He signed off on the contract and slid it to Mr. Collins who in turn slid it to Ms. Abernathy. With a whitey brightey smile she signed off on it as well and the three celebrated with hand shakes and laughter for several minutes. The scene then went to black.
EOT.
