With Retribution in the books Mad Max has made his presence known. He might not have come out as one of the three survivors for Team Paige but it will go down as a victory none the less. Max now has his sights set for the next match scheduled against former Hardcore Champion Peter Gilmour. But let’s go back a week, before Retribution aired. Let’s go back to Manchester, England where soon to debut sVo bad boy, Maddox ‘Mad Max’ Monson, is walking out of Dr. Monroe’s Psychiatrists office on his way to a meeting with his sister, Megan. Our story picks up with Max walking down the sidewalk against oncoming foot traffic. People stop and stare as they can’t believe their eyes. They see what appears to be a cave man walking towards them with ripped and torn blue jean shorts, with matching hole filled wife beater and to top it all off a pair of red and white mismatching boots. As Max pushes by the staring crowd making his way towards the nearby pup he’s stopped by a shady looking figure just outside the entrance to a dark alleyway. The figure is wearing a long grey trench coat despite the heat outside along with a pair of camouflage colored cargo pants and a baseball cap pulled low on his head. “Psst.” The shady figure calls out. “Psst. Hey mate?” Max stops and without turning his body he simply turns his head back looking towards this newcomer. The shady figure smiles as Max turns his head, “Yea you buddy… Come here.” Max shrugs his shoulders asking himself why not before he turns around and walks over to the entrance of the alley. As he reaches the alley he looks back and notices a number of shadowy figures sitting along the walls of the alley. Some of the figures appear to be rocking back and forth but they are nothing but dark stains along the wall as the lack of light prevents Max from distinguishing one from another. “Yo…” Max says as the shady figure looks around past Max out into the walking crowd. “You look like a man who could use a nice well deserved trip…” the figure offers in a thick English accent as he reaches into one of his cargo pants pockets and pulls forth a plastic baggie full of strange looking pills. “What kind of funky pill is that?” Max asks reaching out for the baggie of pills that the shady figure quickly pulls away out of arms reach. “This my friend is called ‘Better Than Life’” the figure says pulling a single pill out of the bag and extending it to Max. “BTL for short.” “Beetle?” Max asks as the shady figure says BTL so fast it comes out beetle. “Never heard of it…” The figure laughs before explaining, “It’s a new drug designed in Germany, said to offer one of the best hallucinating trips you could possibly get your hands on!” “Better than LSD?” Max asks with a bit of fondness in his voice. “Hard to believe…” Max finishes as the figure nods his head. “Listen,” the figure begins as he extends his hand towards Max offering the pill to the man. “Since I like you, I’ll make you an offer you can’t possibly refuse! I’ll get you this pill for an easy two-fitty.” Max balks at the offer. Two hundred and fifty dollars for a single pill is outrageous! But the simple fact that people have bought this pill at that kind of price has Max more than a little intrigued. Max sadly reaches into his pocket pulling forth a wad of money held together by a simple rubber band. Max unrolls the wad and counts out more than half his wad handing it over to the shady figure and in exchange takes the pill from the man. “I’m telling you, after today you’ll understand why they call that little pill “Better Than Life”” the man offers as the Max places the pill in his pocket for safe keeping. “I’m going to save it for a little later.” Max offers as the figure looks at him as if he were stupid. The explanation has the figure shrug his shoulders as if he really doesn’t care before both men turn and go their separate ways. The figure slinks back into the shadows of the alley as Max turns around and continues down the rest of the sidewalk for the next four blocks before arriving at the desired tavern. Max stands just outside the drinking hole known simply as the Crooked Ferret with his hand in his pocket fingering the recently acquired pill as he prepares himself mentally. The thought of taking the pill before entering the pub crosses his mind but he quickly shrugs the thought away before making his way into the pub. As Max enters the pub he sees the place jam packed almost to standing room only! The Chelsea vs. Manchester game is playing on the television and has everyone one’s attention but one young female that Max recognizes as his little sister. Max walks through the crowd, roughly pushing his way past the drunk crowd towards his sister. “Megan…” Max says loudly trying to be heard over the thunderous crowd. Megan spins around in her barstool smiling as she recognizes her older brother. Her smile falters as she takes in his appearance but she stands up out of her stool and hugs her older brother anyway. “Hey bubba,” Megan greets. “Come on let’s go find a table.” Megan grabs her beer and leads Max through the crowd towards the very back corner of the pub. The two siblings take their seats at an empty booth one on each side. The two sit there staring at each other for a little while, Megan circling the rim of her bottle with her finger as each waits for the other to say something. Finally Max says, “So? How’s the family?” Megan nods as she says, “Good. David and Brian are working with Dad full time now…” Max nods with an almost bored expression on his face. “Yea I figured they follow in dad’s shoes…” “Yea, I guess.” Megan says. “I mean it’s a little easier up the ladder when your dad owns the company...” “What about you?” Max asks. “I’m technically on break from school…” Megan explain with a smile on her face. “I figured I’d take my break out here in England when all of a sudden I saw your face on some commercial for the sVo… I couldn’t believe it, neither could dad when I told him! Of course all dad can say is ‘Don’t be like your brother…’ It’s like the mere mention of your name is taboo!” “I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to get my name legally changed…” Max says but is interrupted as Megan says chuckling “He has! Legally there is nothing he can do but he’s certainly tried!” Max and Megan share a laugh at the expense of their uptight father. But the laughter dies down and the two are left there with nothing else to add. “So what are your plans?” Megan asks. Max looks at Megan wondering if she really wanted to know for herself or if she was there to report on her brother. “I’m just wondering cause we were all expecting you to go to dad for help since your release last year…” “Yea well I don’t need his help or his money!” Max declares with conviction in his voice. “I’m tired… Ever since she died I’ve lost everything! My daughter doesn’t even know who I am, my father probably wishes he didn’t know who I was, my friends act like I’m some sort of bum off some random street corner and you calling me out for a drink only because dad put you up to it… I’m tired of all of it! “You can tell pop that I’m set.” Max says after finishing his bottle in one large gulp. “I’m back doing what I love, so you tell dad thanks but no thanks!” With that Max stands up out of the booth and begins to walk away but stops. He turns back around walking back to his sister who remained seated. Max gestures for her to rise and when she does he leans in and gives her a quick hug. After the quick exchange Max pushes Megan out to arms length and once more makes his way through the crowd and out into the streets of Manchester. Without even thinking about it, Max reaches into his pocket and pulls forth that new little pill. He pops it into his mouth and with what little saliva he has he swallows the pill and waits for the drug’s effect to come over him. |
