Is she an agent of chaos? Definitely. Is she eccentric? Oh yes. But the one question that remains on the mind of Kimberly Williams; is she a monster? Is Kimberly Frances Williams, daughter of Angelica Jones and Sean Williams, two murderers in their own right, also a monster herself? This question has been asked by The Woman Scorned for over a year now. Ever since she began digging into her own past in order to find out about her father, his family, and who they were and what she may have inherited from them, a search that led to her discovering about how her uncle Douglas Williams was a convicted serial killer and that Sean was suspected of being involved himself. This search also stirred up a hornet’s nest so to speak when she accidentally got the attention of Carol Johnson, the younger sister of one of Douglas and Sean’s victims. A deranged Carol Johnson out for revenge on behalf of her dead sister sought to murder Kimberly.

Most would argue that yes, Kimberly is a monster. It would be a justifiable and easy argument to make, especially if all you had to go off of was the history of her murderous family and the way she herself acts on television. There is a reason she calls herself The Queen of the Death Match. Kim herself leans in that direction, but there is a seedling of doubt in her mind. That doubt comes as a result of the mercy shown by The Woman Scorned towards Carol Johnson. Kim could have easily murdered Carol and would have been justified in calling it an act of self defense. Instead she allowed the police to do their job and arrest the deranged and vengeful Johnson. Furthermore, Kim could have insisted that charges be pressed against Carol. Yet instead Kim has publicly come out requesting that the district attorney not press charges against Carol for assault and attempted murder. She has requested that leniency be shown towards Ms. Johnson.

If that isn’t mercy then what is? And would a monster really show mercy? The Queen of the Death Match chose to show mercy because she does not want to cause the Johnson family any further troubles. She wants this whole evil episode, an episode that began with the despicable acts of her own family, to be over and that all parties involved can move on with their lives. Kim herself wishes she could move on from the whole situation. Unfortunately there are those who seemingly want to utilize this as a publicity stunt. This is where Eduardo Hernandez comes in.

Backstage after an edition of SCW Breakdown she was approached by Eduardo Hernandez who offered up his services as an agent to Kimberly Williams. The Woman Scorned has been burned before by agents and managers. Besides, she really doesn’t see herself in the same light that Hernandez sees her. He somehow believes he can market her as quite a star, a role model even. But Kim views herself as an agent of chaos and nothing more. How can an agent of chaos be a superstar or a role model? Regardless of any positive light she may cast by showing mercy on Carol Johnson, Kim doesn’t see how anyone can change the perception the public already has of her.

“Then I kicked her ass! CAUSE I’M A BELIEVER!”

We are in the brand new home of Marie Annabelle Jones in Boston, Massachusetts. Marie’s original home was burned down by Carol Johnson. She recently moved into this new one which is much nicer than her old one. Marie is seated on a comfy cream colored leather sofa watching and waiting patiently for her sister to finish getting this excitement out of her system. It was just a couple days ago that Kimberly put on a special concert for the fans, but more specifically for Deanna Frost. Marie recognizes that it was just to play mind games with Kim’s challenger for the Underground Title. At least she hopes it’s just mind games. Either way, Kim is quite the singer. And she is once again showing off her chops.

“Not a trace of doubt in my mind! I’ll maim her, I’m a psycho, she couldn’t beat me if she tried!” Williams strikes a pose. “TA-DA! What do you think?!”

“Bravo!” Marie claps enthusiastically. “That was great, Kim! You were incredible!”

“They were different lyrics than what I sang on Breakdown.”

Kim walks over to the sofa and sits down next to her identical twin sister. The two may look alike but the one way anyone can tell them apart is their fashion sense. Marie is the fashionable one and far more feminine dresser. She is wearing a floral print skirt, a white sleeveless blouse, and high heels. Kimberly, by contrast, is barefoot and wearing torn denim jeans and a black t-shirt that reads ‘Fire Shaun Cruiserweight’ in red lettering.

“Either way you were great.”

“Thanks. I think this version was better than the one I sang on Breakdown. Hell, maybe if I had sang this version Deanna would have liked it and not kicked me!”

“I kinda doubt that.” Marie says with a wry grin. “You DID cost her the Television Title. You have been harassing her and Selena for weeks now. She was bound to reach her breaking point and attack you.”

“That’s the point!” Kim says with a victorious smile on her face as if she is quite pleased with herself and her accomplishments. “Look, I tried this the easy way. I requested a one on one match with either of them, a handicap match against both of them, something against those two. But every time I asked Shaun Cruiserweight kept ignoring me. I had to do something to force his hand. I had to do something to force that idiot to make the match happen. Costing Deanna the TV Title guaranteed that this match would take place.”

“That’s another thing…” Marie sighs deeply “...you really have nothing against Deanna? I know you have said as much in the past but, is it true? You really don’t have anything against her and Selena?”

“No, I don’t.” Kim shakes her head. “I admit that I don’t believe their talk about integrity and that crap. But I don’t dislike them. I just want to give Deanna the match against me that she is owed. The match she was cheated out of when…” Kim stops when she realizes where her twin was going with this line of questioning “...oh yeah, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be.” Marie shakes her head. “It is my fault. I shouldn’t have convinced you to back out of that tag match. I shouldn’t have talked you into walking out with me. I thought that I was doing right by you and me but, once again, I was wrong.”

“It’s ok sis!” Kim says as she pats Marie on the back. “All that is in the past. We’re on good terms now. You’ve beaten yourself up enough?”

“Alright.” Marie nods reluctantly.

“Great!” Kim exclaims. “Sooooo now that the entertainment portion and sisterly bonding portion of tonight’s proceedings are finished, may we please move onto the main event?”

“Main event?”

“Yes…Carol Johnson?”

“Oh right.” Marie rolls her eyes. “I did speak with the district attorney about the state’s case against Carol.”

“And?”

“He really wants to press full charges against Carol. He really wants to throw the book at her. She already had a history of arson, and that was before she set my home on fire. Adding assault and attempted murder to that list makes him believe that she should be behind bars for a long time. And quite honestly, I agree with him.”

“Marie…” Kim’s voice seems to indicate a slightly growing frustration “...we already talked about this.”

“I know.” Marie nods her head. “And despite my own personal reservations, I insisted that you and I do not want the state to press full charges against Carol.”

“Awesome!:” She embraces Marie in a tight hug. “You’re the best!”

“Don’t go praising me yet! I can’t guarantee anything! The district attorney may ignore our request and press full charges anyway. All he promised was that his office would take things slowly and fully investigate the matter before coming to a decision on how to handle her.

“Fine. As long as Carol isn’t charged.”

“But she may get charged with something anyway. Even if he charges her with a simple assault charge and drops the attempted murder charge, his office may and probably will charge her with something simply because of her past criminal history.”

“Whatever.” Kim rolls her eyes.

“Why do you want Carol to walk free anyway?” Marie asks curiously. “She attacked both of us, our family, and she tried to kill you.”

“Think about what led to that…our uncle murdered her sister. That act is what put her down that dark path. Is it really her fault she snapped and went crazy? And think about her mother…her mother only had the two children, one of whom is dead. If Carol were charged and convicted, she would have essentially lost both…both of them lost thanks to our family.” Kim shakes her head. “I don’t want that on my conscience.”

“You really are a better person than me.” Marie reaches out and places a hand on Kim’s shoulder. The Woman Scorned swats her hand away and then shakes her head.

“No I’m not. You and that Eddie guy are both dead wrong about me.”

“Eddie?” Marie furrows her brow in curiosity. “Who is Eddie?”

“That’s what I call him. He says he is Eduardo Hernandez!” Kim puts on a really awful fake Spanish accent when pronouncing his name. Even Marie cannot help but laugh a little at this. “I saw him backstage at Breakdown. He approached me about being some kinda marketer…agent…manager…” The Woman Scorned shrugs her shoulders “...I dunno, some shit like that.”

“What’d you tell him?”

“I told him to get lost. I’m not interested in any agents.”

“But Kim, he would be perfect!”

“Perfect for annoying me, yeah.” Kim says sarcastically. “Just listening to that snob sell me his load of crap made me wanna stab him. And I did consider stabbing him.”

“Listen, having an agent could be very good for you. You DO want the district attorney to show leniency on Carol, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Well an agent could put together a real nice marketing campaign to advertise for leniency. He could put the kind of pressure on the DA that you cannot.”

“Yeah, I thought about that.” Kim nods her head, agreeing that Marie has a point. “But do YOU remember the last agent I had? Sorinah Floreschu? She tried to take advantage of myself and Jessica.”

“I do remember that. But this guy could be different.”

“Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t?” Kim shakes her head. “I’m not willing to take that chance. Look at all the other manager and agent types running around this business. Howe…Damron…Van Stanton…all of them scum. I do not TRUST agents.”

“What about Adam Chase?” Marie points out. “He negotiated me out of my Uprising contract and into a much better SCW contract.”

“Ok, that’s one…but can you name another?”

“Tabitha Silverstone.” Marie states. “She was the agent for both of us at one point, negotiated our contracts so that we could pull off The Ginger Hoax and have you stand in as the Uprising Tag Team Champion on my behalf when I no longer wanted to be tag champion.”

“Fine, that’s two…” Kim sighs “...I might be willing to let Tabsy manage me again.”

“But she can’t and you know it. She is the general manager of Global Championship Wrestling. Even if she had the time to manage that and manage you, there would be an obvious conflict of interest. But this Eddie…Eduardo…he could make a difference.”

“What makes you think he can make any difference with me?” Kim is still skeptical despite her twin sister’s insistence. Marie, for her part, will not relent.

“Think about it, Kim. This whole ordeal involving Carol Johnson, and how you are showing her mercy despite what she tried to do to you…to both of us…this is forcing the world beyond professional wrestling to finally look at you in a different light. The world is beginning to realize that there is more to you than just this outer layer of insanity and chaos that everyone sees on camera.” Marie once again places her hand on Kim’s shoulder. This time Williams does not swat it away. “I have always known that there was more to you than the chaos you display to the public. Now, the world can know too. And this Eddie guy can help with that.”

“You really think he can make a difference?” Kim asks. She does not trust agents or con artists. But she has always had a hidden, deep desire to be normal. For a long time she just embraced her chaotic life, she gladly and joyfully portrayed the monster the world thought she was. Kim was grateful when her own family finally treated her like she was normal. But now, the thought of the world accepting her, that is promising. Hopeful.

“I think you should at least give him a chance.”

Eduardo Hernandez did not expect to get such a quick turnaround from his investment, his visit to SCW Breakdown. Quite honestly, he was concerned if he would even walk away from that visit alive considering he was being chased by a deranged Kimberly Williams and her animatronic dinosaur. Receiving anything good from that visit was the farthest thing on his mind. Despite the deranged ginger accepting his business card before leaving him alone, Hernandez still had little hope for anything to come of it all. After all, Kimberly had made it perfectly clear that she had wanted nothing to do with him or the services he could provide.

The thing is that anyone can change their minds, including The Woman Scorned. In this case, after a lengthy discussion with her identical twin sister, Kimberly finally agreed to hear Hernandez out. Some might find it astonishing that Kim would still trust Marie despite Kim’s own admission that Marie had manipulated her in the past, that she had made some terrible mistakes in the past all due to the encouragement of her twin sister Marie Jones. But as surprising and as astonishing as it may sound, Kimberly is a very forgiving soul. Besides, no one is closer to Kim than Marie. So why not forgive Marie? And if Marie thinks that this Hernandez guy might have something worthwhile to offer, then maybe Kim should at least hear him out.

So Kimberly Williams finds herself sitting in a small waiting room in a very small office space in the town of Springfield, Massachusetts. The eccentric redhead has already taken note of how small this place is and the lack of luxury decor. Typically these snotty con-men types have the finest of the fine luxury and opulence surrounding them. But this one is different. The chairs are not very comfortable; simply gray chairs with little to no cushions. The carpet is a matching gray color. The walls are supposed to be blue but the paint is fading in some spots. There is a desk where it appears as if a secretary or legal assistant would sit but there is no such person manning that position. In fact, the only person in this waiting room is Kimberly herself, dressed in flip flops, torn denim jeans, and a t-shirt with the German flag colors on it, Konrad Raab’s face on it, and the phrase ‘I Love Oktoberfest’ plastered on the front.

The self-proclaimed Queen of the Death Match is growing impatient. Eduardo…or Eddie as she prefers to call him…is late. She keeps her eyes locked on what she assumes is his office door, waiting for him to come and talk to her. But a few moments later she hears the front door opening. Kim turns and spots Mr. Hernandez entering through the front door entrance. He is dressed in a brown suit and is carrying a briefcase with him. Kim immediately stands up and waves playfully at Hernandez.

“Hiya, Eddie!”

“Ms. Williams!” He seems rather surprised to see her. “Uh, I apologize for being so late, I lost track of time eating lunch.”

“You take it off my bill, Eddie.” Kim winks.

“Right but…uh, how did you get in?”

“I didn’t break in if that’s what you’re asking. You left the door unlocked. Which, quite frankly, disappoints me.”

“You are disappointed in my lack of security?” He sighs. “There is a reason for that.”

“There’d better be a good one! Breaking and entering is much more fun when you actually have a legitimate security system for me to get around! You leaving the door unlocked is just so damn boring! Give me a real challenge next time!”

“Right…” his voice trails off as he tries to take in Kimberly’s rather unusual personality. “...so, let’s just go into my office, shall we?”

Eduardo walks right on past Kimberly and towards his office door. Williams follows closely behind. He opens the door and steps inside. Kimberly follows him and then shuts the door behind her. Just like with the waiting room, his office is not what she expected. It looks like a total wreck with paperwork strewn about everywhere in his office. There are only two chairs in this tiny area…one behind his desk and another in front the desk. Kimberly isn’t exactly known for her organizational skills but even she has to wonder how this man manages to keep up with himself and his business.

“Have a seat, Ms. Williams.”

“Kim!” She snaps back, correcting him immediately before she sits down. Eduardo chuckles softly as he places his briefcase down on the desk and then sits down.

“Right, of course. Kim…we do have much to discuss and may I begin by saying that I am elated that you changed your mind and agreed to…”

“Whoa, shut that mouth of yours before you say something that makes me want to staple your forehead!” Kim says patting the pockets of her jeans. “And I did bring my staplegun!”

“Oh, yes, of course.”

“I have NOT agreed to anything yet. I have definitely not agreed to hire you as my agent.”

“Then why are you here?”

“Look, Eddie, I am going to be straight up honest with you. I do not trust your type…agents, managers…you are all slimy snakes as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been manipulated by your type before. So while I am willing to hear you out that doesn’t mean I am agreeing to anything. Are we clear?” Kim sounds very demanding in her tone. It was definitely enough to intimidate poor Eduardo who gulps and has a sense of concern across his face. He nods his head.

“I understand, Ms. W…errr, Kimberly.”

“Good. Then what do ya have to say? I have chaos and havoc to create and you are taking up my precious time! I want to hear your plans for me, and I want specific details, nothing vague or generic. Do your best to sell me on your SPECIFIC plans for me and then I will make up my mind if I want to give you a chance.”

“Oh, of course, Kimberly. I would never want to waste your time, that is why I will get right down to business and tell you about the vision I have for you, and that vision first begins with renegotiating your current contracts.”

“You want to renegotiate my contracts?” She scoffs. “I don’t care about the money. And besides, I don’t want to deal with idiots like Shaun Cruiserweight.”

“That’s the beauty of it, you would not HAVE to deal with him. As your agent, I would deal with him. And quite frankly I believe that I can get you a better deal with Supreme Championship Wrestling. I believe you DESERVE a better deal with Supreme Championship Wrestling. Look at you, you are a two time and current SCW Underground Champion. You are already pulling double duty at their biggest event of the year…and if what I saw on the internet the other day is any indication, you may be pulling a triple duty…THREE MATCHES at Rise To Greatness!”

“Yeah, so?”

“So…can Selena Frost say that? Can Adam Allocco, the winner of Taking Hold of the Flame say that? Can Shaun Cruze say that he has come close to that kind of feat in his career? Honestly, Kim, you are a big ratings boost. You are a money maker for SCW and they know it. Your feuds with Selena Frost, Konrad Raab, Deanna Frost, and The Farmstead Friends has grabbed the attention of the SCW fanbase. People want to see more of you! That is why they are willing to let you pull double…or even triple duty at Rise To Greatness. And for everything that you have given that company you most certainly deserve more from them.”

“That’s nice I guess…” she cannot help but crack a smile “...it is nice to know that the fans appreciate me. But like I said, I don’t care about the money.”

“It goes beyond that, Kimberly. Your campaign against Shaun Cruze has raised awareness of abuses by management not just in SCW but in other promotions as well.”

“Seriously?” Kim arches a brow. “I only bother Shaun Cruiserweight because its fun.”

“Fun…and at the same raising awareness of a serious issue. Just like awareness of the serious issue of showing mercy and rehabilitation towards felons.”

“You mean Carol?” Kim asks. He nods his head.

“Exactly. What I see when I look at you is not this madwoman with a staplegun…”

“AND an infinity gauntlet…and a Dalek…and a raptor…and a knife glove…and a shank…and a penguin…” Kim says correcting him.

“Yes, yes, and that is nice for the fans, but I think the world beyond the SCW universe should get to k now the REAL Kimberly Williams, the woman who cares about justice, right, and wrong. And I can make that happen. All you have to do is say yes! Let me manage your career, Ms. Wi…err Kim! What do you say?”

“I say you’re full of shit.” She says chuckling nastily. “I know I am not a good person. I definitely don’t care about justice. I do care about what is fair which is different from justice, right, and wrong and all that crap. I am an agent of chaos, Eddie. Understand that.”

“So no deal?” He asks, sounding somewhat disappointed thinking that his sales pitch failed. Kim smirks.

“Not necessarily.”

“Oh? So we are negotiating then?”

“Always. You have a deal IF you can promise me one thing.”

“Name it.” He insists. “It is yours.”

“I already feel guilty enough that my uncle and maybe my own father was involved in murdering Carol Johnson’s sister. If Carol gets put away behind bars for a lengthy period of time, that would probably kill her mother. And quite honestly, my family has done enough damage to them. Use your sleazy snakey con-artist skill to convince the district attorney to back off and at the very least go easy on Carol if not drop the charges against her altogether. If you can do that, you will have proven to me that maybe you’re not just full of shit and that maybe you can do some good for me.”

“You have yourself a deal.” Hernandez smirks as he extends his hand. Most would look at that sly smirk and think that he is up to something. But not Kim, she isn’t like most people. She doesn’t really care. The Woman Scorned extends her hand and accepts the handshake. Perhaps a new partnership has been created?
