KC Sinclair Coney Island NYC is where Kip Anderson is on the board walk a day after Grand Voyage and while Kip got slapped with a restraining order from coming with in 50 feet of Steve, it said nothing about his brother and since the UWL was in New York City for the weekend Kip tracked down KC to ask him if he knew where NASCAR Billy was.
KC is Steve's younger brother and like Steve he grew to be seven foot tall and much like Steve, KC had a brief career in the ring under the name of Crash but unlike Steve who had a lot of success, KC never won a title and was last in the ring over ten years ago. But that doesn't mean he hasn't stayed in the sport. He worked for Steve and Raven in their wrestling school in Amsterdam. It was his job to get kids and hopefuls into shape and he would push every Tom Dick and Harry that walked through the front doors to the edge just to see if they had what it took to become a wrestler. From there KC worked with the guys and gals on cardio, strength training and the basics inside the ring. It was a position that KC held for the 7 year run of the school and when everything went south, KC moved to the city and opened his own gym and school. It was the first place Nanook sent NASCAR Billy when he discovered him at the county fair. KC got Billy into shape. Showed him what to eat and what not to eat. Got him to understand the basics in the ring so he wouldn't get killed and that's when KC shipped Billy over seas to London. Billy spent 6 six months with KC and KC got to know Billy pretty good and the two have stayed in contact since his training and Kip is banking that Billy has reached out to KC. So before Kip has to get on a plane and fly across the country he wanted to talk to KC before he left.
That is why Kip is at Coney Island where KC works on the side in a side show as the tatted up strong man. KC is tatted head to toe, including his face of lightening bolts running down his body.
Kip has a coffee in his hand just hanging out in front of the side show that KC is working. He is flipping through his notepad and if he was sporting a tan trench coat he could almost pass for Colombo. As he checking his notes KC walks out of the side show wearing jeans and a black hoodie. He has the hood up to kinda hide his face a tad to not get so many looks when out in public. He takes a seat next to Kip on a bench that Kip was sitting on.
KC "So you must be Kip Anderson?"Kip "I am! You must be KC? I am so glad you can talk to me today."
KC "Well Billy always talked so highly of you."Kip "So you have talked to him then?"
KC "Not in .......let me see."KC scrolls through his phone and checks the last time he heard from Billy.
KC "Five weeks now."Kip "Oh....so before he left the UWL."
Kips sounded so disappointed by this.
KC "I heard he quit the UWL but I wasn't sure. I'm busy and don't get to watch too much TV."Kip "Yeah your brother bullied him and forced him to quit."
KC "My brother?"Kip "Steve is your brother is he not?"
KC "I didn't know he got out. I didn't know he was working for you guys. Why was he bulling Billy around."Kip "He was or is Billy manager...."
KC "Whoa, wait. I thought Nanook was his manager? How in the hell did my brother become his manager?"All hopes that Kip had that KC would know something just got popped. He closes his notebook.
Kip "It's a long story. Steve showed up, he and Joe got into it."
KC "Yeah I knew that. Joe has been hanging out at my gym now for a while."Kip "After that, Steve kinda took over Billy's career and drove him into the ground."
KC "Yeah well it's not the first time that has happened. He'll never change."Kip "I was hoping you heard from Billy. I have been trying to find him but I keep running into roadblocks."
KC "Steve lawyered up I take it?"Kip "Yeah? You've seen this before?"
KC "Kip. Take it from me. Unless Steve wants you to find Billy, you will never find that guy. Save yourself a headache and just give up looking. Steve does suffer from short term memory loss. If you give up looking and don't remind Steve that you are looking for him Steve will just, forget all about it and then you'll find Billy just like that."Kip "What?"
KC "I'm telling you. Just drop it. Leave Steve alone. Don't ask him where Billy is. Stop asking everyone where Billy is and in like a month Steve's ADHD will kick in and he'll even forget all about Billy. Just lay low. When it comes to Steve you need to remember one thing. Out of sight. Out of mind."Kip "huh?"
Kip is now thinking why didn't anyone else tell him this. Kip decides to ask KC one more thing. He pulls out the newspaper clipping he swiped from Sick Nick's place.
Kip "Let me ask you something else then. Do you remember a guy named The Eagle?"
KC chuckles.
KC "Yeah I remember that guy. I called him scattered brains."Kip "Huh...why?"
KC "You ever watch Finding Nemo?"Kip "Yeah?"
KC "The Eagle was like the male form of Dory. He had everything in the world. He was naturally gifted. He could have been one of the biggest names in the sport but he had zero focus."Kip "Well he beat your brother and a week later he quit."
KC "He sure did. He wanted to go home to......oh what was it. Fargo? I dunno some mid west place out in no man's land to become a banker or something. I tried to talk the guy out of it but when that guy got something into his brain, that was the only thing on his mind. So he bailed on us. Left us with a title and no champion."Kip "So.....do you know anything about this then?"
Kip hands KC the newspaper clipping. KC looks at it.
KC "Where did you get this?"Kip "I visited Sick Nick..."
KC drops the news clippings and wipes his hands on pants.
KC "Sick Nick! You should have told me! That might have Ebola on it for all I know!"Kip "Yeah.....sorry about that."
KC "Listen. I don't know what that is all about. With Nick who knows what it is about. But if you think that is The Eagle, you can just forget that. I'm telling you. When you roll through Fargo look for the nearest Bingo hall. He'll be there. That guy was a bingo junkie."Kip "So you don't think this is The Eagle."
KC "No."Kip "Well it was on top of a pile of stuff in Nick's trailer. He had the paper folded. It must have meant something to him."
KC "You are talking about Sick Nick. It could mean anything but I'm telling you. That is not The Eagle."Kip "uhmm. Okay if you say so."
KC "Well Kip. I hate to bail on you but I have a show in 30 so I have to get ready. If you need to ask me anything else, just call. And remember. Leave my brother alone and he'll forget all about you. That is the key to finding NASCAR Billy. Take care."Kip "You too and thanks."
