After our first encounter, I was about to head home. However it was then that Techno offered me a free room for the night. I really didn’t feel like driving into the city and getting a hotel, so of course I accepted. I went to bed pretty soon after that, Techno, on the other hand, stayed up all night parting, I heard he went to his room at about 5 am. When I woke up the next morning a girl was laying on a couch in my room, she sprung up as I arose, asking all sorts of questions. She was as hot as they come. She has a skinny waist that was being shown off by a small see through white top. Her nipples could be seen in full, making it obvious she wasn’t wearing a bra. Her short blond hair was styled uniquely, twisted and curled crazily, and she had a slight bit of make up on. I couldn’t help but to stare at her pink lips as she spoke.
Girl: “Would you like any coffee? Or perhaps anything to eat? We have anything you could want, ceareal, toast, eggs, pancakes, w…” She stopped as I spoke up.
Ross: “Coffee would be great, but that’s all I need, thanks a ton.” I said with a smile on my face.
She left the room and I arose to find a set of clothes sitting on a chair near the bed I was sleeping, I smiled as I realized what it was. It was the silverfish gray jumpsuit that Techno was wearing, except it had one difference, on the right of the chest, it had “Ross” embroidered on. I laughed to myself as I started to get changed into the set of clothes he left for me. It was then the girl walked back in, and I was quick to cover myself up.
Girl: “Here’s your coffee…. Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t know you were….” The girl blushed as she put the coffee down on the table, turning around.
Ross: “Its ok.. “ I said a bit nervous.
The girl was VERY attractive, but as a 30 year old man, I had no chance with a young girl like that. I’d say she was about 19, maybe 18. She started to speak to me with her back turned as I finished getting dressed.
Girl: “So, I heard your Techno’s Right hand man? That must be amazing, I’d give anything to be able to be near him as much as you are… hehe, of course it wouldn’t be quite for the same reasons.” She laughed.
I realized then why the girl was being so kind to me, must have been orders by Techno to see that I was taken care of. Although the thought of being in some kind of underground organization was a bit scary, at the same time it was comforting to know that I was seen as the right hand man of Techno, even though I probably wasn’t, but was I going to deny that?
Ross: “It’s treating me pretty well.” I lied, claiming I was infact the right hand man of Techno, not just some lame cameraman.
The girl turned around as I zipped up the jumpsuit and walked towards me with a smile on her face.
Girl: “So it is true isn’t it? Wow…” She said as she stood right infront of me.
It was then that I think the power of Techno was at an all time high, the girl reached out grabbing my package and planted one of the most tongue filled kisses I had ever felt on my lips. Of course, I kissed back, I couldn’t believe a 30 year old man like myself would ever have a girl like this kissing him. She was something you’d see in a movie. Of course it was cut short, like in most movies, as Techno entered the room. The girl quickly stopped kissing me and stepped back smiling. Techno smiled back.
Techno: “Was she aight in assisten ya? I figured you might need somethin ta eat or drink, and I figured ya wouldn’t mind havin a hot chick like this doin it if ya know what I mean.” Techno laughed as he led the girl out of the room.
I was right in thinking techno had set up the incident, however I wasn’t about to tell him about how it led to the kissing. I am sure he would have been pretty mad if I were to have claimed to be his right hand man.
Techno: “Yeah… I wanted to talk about last night. Dat segment was pretty beat, know what I mean? I’m not used to this addressing people I don’t even know.” He said ashamed.
Ross: “Well your new to this right? And I mean, you never really had your eyes set on being a wrestler till you were forced to leave Tokyo, don’t sweat it kid, it will come to you.” I said to him reassuringly.
Techno: “Well get the camera ready, I wanna try to be a little more at ease, we’re going to head to my outdoor half pipe.” He ordered.
I was quick to get my shit together, to tell you the truth, I wasn’t thinking of Techno too much, I was thinking of the girl who was in here before. As shocking as the incident was, it was very welcome. Of course, I did feel a little guilty about it, seeing as how my wife had died only 6 months ago. But we did talk about what to do if this ever happened… Anyways I got my shit together and we headed outside through a back door. The club was a bit silent, there were people skating around, the music was lower than the night before, overall it looked dead compared to the magnitude it was at last night. When we got outside, it was just me and Techno. This is where things began to get interesting. He sat at the top of the half pipe as I readied the camera beside him. He had a board in his right hand that I had just noticed.
Techno: “Before you get da camera set up I think it’s best we talk a bit. I’m sorry if I came off as an ass of some sort last night, ya know? I just have a hard time trusting anyone dat doesn’t come to da club on a regular basis, ya know? My followers. And bout that. You probably heard why I was booted from Tokyo right?” he asked me.
Ross: “Truthfully Ty didn’t go to into it, just said it was gang related.” I replied.
I could sense where this was going, so I had to act fast.
Ross: “Wait… I know you wanted to do this off camera and all, but I think maybe doing this on camera could be a good thing. Some people here would get to know about you, and from the looks of things around this place, it makes me think its going to be a hell of a story.” I said quickly.
I saw the hesitation on his face. He looked down at his board and took a seat on the top of the half pipe beside me. His feet, covered in Red Vision shoes, dangled over the side. I could tell he was a bit nervous about talking about his past… My guess was that he missed it greatly… I know he didn’t want to be in North America, he wanted to be Back home, Back in Tokyo.
Techno: “Ok… maybe it is a good idea.” He said quietly.
I nodded my head, thinking to myself that this was going to be the break through interview. Quickly I got all the gear ready watching him look off into the morning sky. I glanced around to get a good angle, then walked towards the back of him, getting ready to film him speaking about his past. I counted down… and then he spoke of some of the wildest things I had ever heard.
Techno: “You ready for dis?” He took a deep breath. “Ok, well when I was about 10, my mom an dad was killed by police officers in Tokyo. We were there because my dad had sum sort a business meeting there. We drove down one of the main roads and ended up in the middle of some sort of gang fight. It was the cops verse these guys known through out all of Tokyo as da Rollers… Well, not knowing what we got into, the cops thought we were part of the gang. They fired into da car… I ducked down… scared as all hell… And when the firing was done… I got up to see my parents dead, blood everywhere … on the window, the seat, their clothes… The cops got most of dose guys from da Rollers… But I watched one guy get away… His style was unique, something I knew I wouldn’t forget, he wore this studded leather jacket, his hair was in a high Mohawk. He didn’t look Japanese either…” He trailed off.
During his silence I had time to think to myself, I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. I mean, I flipped out when I had lost my job due to the collapse of ACW… but that was nothing compared to what this kid had gone through. Slowly my thoughts ended as he spoke up again however.
Techno: “I went everywhere asking bout da guy, everyone had a weird look on their face, like they was scared of this guy, and wanted nothing to do with my search. I stumbled onto a gang in Tokyo at club when asking about da guy, they took me in… That’s when all that shit started dat got me tossed from Tokyo..” He trialed off asking for the camera to be cut.
I cut the camera of course. Seemed like the kid had a hard time talking about his past, and I could tell in due time it would all come out onto the camera, but knowing he wasn’t scheduled to compete for two weeks, I was going to let him do it as his own pace. No use rushing him, and I could tell he was beginning to trust me more. He picked up his board and skated up and down the halfpipe making quick 180’s to turn around once he hit the top. There was a lot of silence as I began to put my camera gear away. Once I got it all packed up, he stopped near me, and extended his hand. We shook hands… It was the beginning of a friendship I would never forget.
