*Throughout his wrestling career, Peter "The Janitor" Vaughn has never shied away from the extra work that's needed. After all, as a life-long curtain jerker, he's known that the harder he works, the more he earns. It also is why he rarely turns down any kind of gig. That's why The Janitor is here, now, at a Dallas Dog Show. It's not the biggest one of the year, the Lone Star State Classic. No, this is one of the smaller events, where regular people can bring their pets out to 'compete' for the various categories. It also means there's a lot of shit to clean up. We see Vaughn walking along one aisle, looking down as he moves, searching for the next pile of poop to scoop up.*
Peter Vaughn - I wish people were more considerate and cleaned up after their little... beautiful pets.
*A seasoned professional like Vaughn knows that somebody is always listening, and insulting a dog here could be a very dangerous maneuver. He finds a pile and scoops it up, showing his skill in operating the scoop bucket.*
Peter Vaughn - I thought this might help motivate me against "Mad Dog" Mark Wright. But unless he's a complete pile of... poopoo, I can't say I'm getting much from this. At least it's a paycheck. I've got to start winning again, if I want to get out of the opening match and start making better money again.
*Vaughn moves along, still looking down, which causes him to almost bump into someone. Someone who stepped into his path. It takes Vaughn a moment to realize who it is, and then embarrassment colors his face.*
Peter Vaughn - Oh... hi, Mary...
Mary - When you said that you'd be at the dog show, I had a feeling it wasn't just for fun.
*Despite her comment, Mary smiles at Peter, a man she's been trying to help through some tough times. It seems like Peter has gotten over his addiction to vitamins and supplements for the time being, but there's always a chance for a relapse. But that's not the only reason Mary's here. She seems to have more than a passing interest in our fair Janitor, although he's not quite realizing what that is.*
Peter Vaughn - I'm surprised you came here. I thought you didn't like dogs.
*There's a gasp from a couple of people nearby, as Mary quickly shakes her head at them before turning back to Vaughn.*
Mary - I love dogs, Peter. I just can't have one at the condo I'm currently leasing. That's the only reason. I love dogs, truly.
*The people, mollified, walk off, as Mary breathes a sigh of relief.*
Mary - So you're wrestling this Friday, right?
Peter Vaughn - Yes. They booked me against one of the newer wrestlers, "Mad Dog" Mark Wright. I don't think he calls himself that because he actually believes he's a dog, though.
Mary - Unlikely, although I have known a few people who think of themselves as animals.
Peter Vaughn - He won't be easy, I don't think, but I'm hopeful I can get back on track against him. I'm the man with wins over The Lost Soul and The Incredible One, and I almost beat Ed Houston. I need to get myself recognized with another victory. Then maybe I can wrestle at High Rollers.
Mary - I always wanted to go to Las Vegas.
Peter Vaughn - Yeah, I hear it's sweet there.
*Vaughn misses the obvious opportunity to invite Mary along, but she just smiles. That's part of what intrigues her about him.*
Mary - Well, I'm going to walk around some more before the main competition starts. It was... nice to see you, Peter.
Peter Vaughn - Same here, Mary. Hope to see you again when I'm not working.
*Mary walks off, disappearing from view, as Vaughn starts down another aisle. Unfortunately, he's busy looking back at Mary, and doesn't see... whatever it is he stepped in.*
Peter Vaughn - Oh, son of a... I mean... poop.
*Vaughn reaches down and wipes his shoe off with a rag, then throws the rag into a trash bin. He works to clean up the rest of the mess, looking downtrodden.*
Peter Vaughn - Yep. I really need to win on Friday.
*Vaughn sighs, then stands up straight after finishing the clean-up. He then notices the booth set up right next to him, with a very strangely sinister man standing behind it. The sign says "Pet Vitamins & Supplements: Make Your Dog Super!" The man nods to Vaughn, who suddenly looks a little shaky. We cut away before we find out what happens next.*
