Mr. Mason eventually got in contact with Candy after what took place at Livewire. She was in pain and Mason had been feeling guilty for leaving Candy alone like he did ever since. He kept telling himself he was listening to Candy. But, he had a feeling that Candy was just saying that because Brittany didn't want to be there. He’d found a gym and for the past few hours had done but punch the heavy bag. Sweating profusely, Mason finally stops and takes off the gloves. He walks over to a chair near the wall by an old weight machine, but doesn’t sit down. He hears someone come up behind him, and sees Brittany’s reflection in the reflective steel at the bottom of the weight machine.
“Are you mad?”
Mason takes a moment before he answers her.
“No, but I know you didn’t want to be there to help Candy. And because you made her think that, look what happened.”
Brittany doesn’t say a word. Mr. Mason turns around to look at her. He shakes his head and sits in the chair.
“If I were Candy, I’d be telling me to get rid of you. But, knowing Candy, that’s not something she’d tell me. So…I’m not going to tell you to get lost.”
“You’re not?”
Brittany sounds almost happy, but confused that Luke wouldn’t tell her that. He’d told her that a long time ago when they broke up. She hated him for it, but still felt like he was her soul mate. Tears began to fill her eyes. She never wanted to hear him say that to her again.
“No. I’m telling you, get your attitude packed up and ship it off to where it will never come back again when you’re around Candy. Just fucking pretend that you want to help. I don’t care if you don’t want to, but act like it. If you don’t want to do it for her, then fine. Do it for the paycheck. Otherwise, you need to pack your shit and kick rocks. Understand?”
Brittany could see he was serious. She decided to take the opportunity to talk about his debut match with the woman responsible for attacking Candy at Livewire, not to mention the crazed fan that took Candy’s knickers. She takes a small folder out of her purse and opens it.
“Kimitsu Zombie, real name Ichiko Mori. She’s known as Little Yokai. You meet her one on one in the ring October 9th. You saw what she did. But, you won’t beat her if you go in there pissed off.”
Mason looks at Brittany inquisitively. He’s impressed that she’s been researching Kimitsu already since Livewire had gone off the air a few hours ago. Brittany looks up from the folder and notices Mason giving her an impressed look.
“What?!”
“It’s about time you got on the same page.”
Brittany rolls her eyes and goes back to reading the information in folder.
“She’s not your average bully, but that’s really where things start with this one. She’s smart. She knows how to prod at her opponents to get them to get frustrated. Something you have a big problem dealing with sometimes.”
Mason grins and interrupts Brittany.
“Brittany.”
"What?"
"Just close the file."
Brittany looks at Mason again and does so, showing her frustration with a squinted glare.
“We can read her file all day long and still learn nothing about what Kimitsu is capable of. I can watch footage over and over again. But, it won’t show me anything. She may have weaknesses, but so does everyone. Looking at all this stuff doesn’t do any good at this point. When it comes to what happened to Candy, Kimitsu knows that I’m going to come to that ring to return the favor on Candy’s behalf.”
Brittany nods, understanding what Mason’s saying. He stands up and walks toward her.
“There's only one way to beat someone that knows your coming for them.”
Brittany looks up into Mason’s eyes as she listens to him, somewhat.
“How?”
Mason puts his arm around her shoulder. She grimaces in disgust as she feels the sweat from his arm touch the back of her neck.
“By attacking where it hurts them the most and Kimitsu's date with Karma has the name of Mr. Mason.”
“Are you mad?”
Mason takes a moment before he answers her.
“No, but I know you didn’t want to be there to help Candy. And because you made her think that, look what happened.”
