It was a chilly night in Charlotte, NC Jackson Ford is scene standing outside a restaurant he is wearing blue jeans and a black and red DBD jacket that covers his white button up shirt. He keeps looking down at his gold rolex watch checking the time.
Jackson Ford: Hmm... it is getting late...
He takes a seat on the bench that is stationed to the left of the door entrance to the restaurant. He looks back down at his watch just as he is approached.
Mia Rivera rushed down the sidewalk, her pink hair mostly hidden under a knitted hat complete with pom pom on top. She was bundled up in a black woolen coat, eyes on the door until she noticed a familiar face standing outside the restaurant she usually stopped to grab takeout from every night after work. Eating alone was just too weird, even when the place was nearly empty.
Her look of surprise turned to dismay as his words sank in.
Mia Rivera: Oh. That's your agent, right? Maybe they got held up in...
She glanced at the deserted street, watching a single car go by. Sighing, she turned back to him with a hopeful smile.
Mia Rivera: Well, maybe they ended up at the wrong restaurant? That happens, right? I'm not sure why they'd want to go someplace else though. This place is really good - probably the best place in town. And they're really nice about letting me order stuff to go even though they don't usually do that. It's just, eating by myself in a room of strangers feels so weird.

He smiled knowing that she was just looking to try and make him feel better.
Jackson Ford: Nah they gave me the address and directions to this place. I guess they are not as concern about me as they said. I am just another way they can get paid. Greedy people tends to always find me.b
Realizing that he was getting upset over something that he had no control of, he pauses for a few moments and then looks over at Mia.I
Jackson Ford: Well seeing how I haven't ate anything yet and you don't like to eat alone. why don't you let me buy your food and enjoy a mealt together. Then maybe afterwards we can go for a walk and just talk to get to know each other a little better. I have been wanting to tell you something that I have recently found out anyways.
Jackson walks over to and holds open the door for her. He's hoping that she would take him up on his offer

Jackson’s heart fluttered a little as she came close to him. It lasted a few seconds until he noticed how cold she was. He reached over touching her hand as she squeezed his arm. Her hand although it was smooth it was as cold as an iced filled glass of water.
Jackson Ford: Let’s get you out of this cold nasty weather.
While holding the door open with his foot he took his hand placing it gently on the middle of her back as they walked into the restaurant allowing the door to close behind them. They were greeted by a waiter. As he took his coat off Jackson looked at the waiter.
Jackson Ford: Table for two please!
The waiter nodded and escorted us to our table. Before heading to my seat I pulled her chair out for her and helped her as she took off her coat. Then he made his way over to his seat placing his jacket on the back before sitting down.
Such a gentleman, she thought, settling in her chair and watching as he sat down. It was such an intimate setting with the lights dimmed a little lower that it almost felt like a date. She was thankful for the lighting that hid the blush on her cheeks.
Mia Rivera: I usually get the herb-crusted chicken. They serve it with these gluten free noodles that are tossed in this balsamic sauce and it's just to die for. I'm down to just chicken as my only meat so... I'm sure there are other things that are good.
Oh my God, you're on a date with THE Jackson Ford! Internally she was screaming, completely freaking out at the prospect.

She is what I have been searching for, he thought. The mistakes I have made in my life had led me to her. He sat there unable to take his eyes off from her as she spoke. He fell hard for her and it wasn’t just her beauty that played a factor. It had a lot to do with her personality that he has noticed since his arrival.
Jackson Ford: I’ve have always started out with a salad and moved on to some sort of pasta. However after hearing what you eat It made my mouth water I think I might give that a try.
Oh my god… Am I really here with her? He thought to himself. You better not screw this up, he thought.
Mia Rivera: Salad is good. Pasta not so much. I mean, the sauce and the meat and cheese... well, I guess it depends how you like it.
She laughed nervously, opening up the menu just to have something to do with her hands.
Mia Rivera: There's history of heart disease and diabetes in my family so I'm doing my best to keep from having that happen to me. I don't want to die young, even if it'll leave a pretty corpse.

Jackson Ford:I dont know much about my family history, I was placed int the system at a very young agae and was later adopted by the Montgomery family.
This has been something eating away at him for a while, instead of letting it ruin what has been truning out to be a great night. Jackson felt comfortable enough to tell Mia what he has been struggleing with for over a year now. He reaches accross the table placing his hand on the menu tilting it down so he can see her face before letting go of it.
Jackson Ford:I spent most of my life trying to build a legacy for this name. I was proud to be a Ford. However everything I thought I knew about myself and where I came from was wrong, it was a lie that was kept from me by the people who supposivly loved me. Jackson Ford is not my birth name, While being held in Mexico by my birth mother and the Mendez cartel i discovered that my birth name was Alexander Rizzo. I don't know why or when it was changed I just know I can no longer hold this in.
Once he was finished talking an ackward silence fell over the room. The only sound you caan here was from the kitchen and as he looked around the very few people that was in the room was staring at him which made him feel uncomfortable.
She swallowed hard, her voice hushed as she reached across the table for his hand, making it look like they were just having a normal conversation so everyone would go back to their own meals.
Mia Rivera: What on Earth are you mixed up in? Do you mean like a drug cartel? Like from TV?

Jackson Ford Yes Mexico, I was...
He holds her hand although he got the feeling that she was uneasy, which was the last thing he wanted her to feel.
Jackson Ford:It started when my sister Kandra sent me down there to do some work. You see her late husband and my mentor, Dylan was against the drug and gun smuggling and he started a movement where he would go to some of the areas and hold events wrestling, fairs.. and so on. Well Kandra thought it would be a good idea to send me down there to get me away after my divorce.
He shakes his head in shame...
Jackson Ford:The last thing I remember before being chained to the walls and getting whipped, was I was sitting at a beach drinking and thinking about life. Oh and the killer thing about it all was my birth mother was involved.
OOC: This story is something that I started in Chimera and took it over to Fight One after Chimera closed. Hopefully it doesn't seem outrages but it was something that has been breweing in my head since Revival and it will allow me to make the full change to Alexander Rizzo at some point in the near future.
