Cassie and Tess are in Tess’s room at the Manor. Tess has opened a bottle of Pinot Noir and has set up a plate of cheese and crackers
Tess: “That’s to hold us over until dinner is served in the dinning room”.
Cassie: “That’s only 45 minutes from now”
Tess: “So we get a head start”
Cassie: “You said you wanted to talk. Is it about Bazz?”
Tess: “Yes”
Cassie: “All your talk about Bazz is making it hard for me. I know you mean well, but the girls at Bazz want to know why we are such good friends. It’s like, “How can you be friends with that bytch” Not much I can say in response, so I just ignore the questions. I got a feeling, sooner or later it’s going to get nasty, and you are going to have your hands full of angry Bazz women pounding on you. You need to cool it down for a week or two”
Tess: “Well I’m sorry I got you in a bind, but you really need to get out of that stable. You are wasting your career there and if you don’t get out soon, you are not going to have one”
Cassie: “Oh, this is going to go over big with Bazz”
Tess: “Listen, this is a personal conversation. No one is going to hear what we say. That’s why we are up here in my room. I’m not putting anything into print”
Cassie: “Thank goodness”
Tess: “Take a look at the Dollhouse. Lavigne will be in her 18th fight of the year this month. Winnick will be in her 14th, Thorne in her 17th. Even Williams will be in her eighth and Mayberry in her fifth.”
Cassie; “I don’t want to hear this”
Tess: “You know good and well you have been in two. That’s two. You a former champion, has been in three less than Mayberry. Lavignes will be in nine times as many as you, In fact, Williams in her eight will have been in more than You, Michalka, Wilde and Woodley combined. You know your fight in July where you beat Vikander? Bazz had nothing to do with it. It was a challenge from Ultimate. I never saw an official acceptance from Bazz”
Cassie: “For real?”
Tess: “Look, the lightweights are finished. Regan is fading. Spiridakos will be the new go to girl for Front Street. You, MIchalka, Wilde and Woodley are in the same boat except that they may get a fight at Front Street, you won’t. Y’all are not getting fights and do you really expect things to change. It’s got to be like a mausoleum over there. I suspect that’s why you spend all your time at Front Street”
Cassie: “So you know the problem. You got a solution?”
Tess; “Well one that occurs to me is that Hawkeye’s stable is getting old. He specializes in flyweights and bantams. I think the youngest member is 36, He could use an under 30 flyweight like you. Of course, I have no idea if he would agree to what I just said or how you would get from Bazz to Hawkeye”
Cassie; “I really need to think about it. I have some loyalty to Bazz”
Tess; “It’s your career going down the tubes. Why don’t you talk to Wiz in private? He’s a lot smarter than I am about these personnel issues in the FCBA. He may be friends with Bazz. but to you, he is Uncle Wiz.”
Cassie: “I think I need another glass of wine. A big one”.
Tess: “That’s to hold us over until dinner is served in the dinning room”.
Cassie: “That’s only 45 minutes from now”
Tess: “So we get a head start”
