The scene opens in the kitchen of PKA and Ash' home in Wichita, Kansas. Adam Payne walks towards the refrigerator.
Adam Payne-Its great to be outta that hell hole.
Adam Payne grabs a soda out of the refrigerator. He pops it open with his right index finger and takes a drink. Ash walks past him towards the cabinets and neatly places the dishwrags in the drawer.
Ash- I wouldn't doubt it. But you konw, if it wasn't for Phil, you'd still be in there, ya know?
Adam Payne- Yeah, I know. I owe him big time for it. I don't know how to thank him really.
Ash- Well, be a great friend for one, a great tag team partner two, and hell, don't you EVER forget what he done for you, Adam.
Ash made sure Adam Payne heard her, keeping an eye on him while she placed the last stack in the drawer. Adam takes another swig of the Pepsi.
Adam Payne- Ash, trust me, I won't let him down. We're gonna renovate, innovate, and dominate the tag team division!
He walks into the iving room and has aseat on the dark blue sectional couch. He sets his can on the glass table in front of him. Ash shakes her head and walks over to him, tapping him on the shoulder.
Ash- Adam...
Ash grabs a coaster and places it under the can.
Ash- I just cleaned that..
Adam says jokingly..
Adam Payne- Well excuse me miss 'queen of clean'!
PKA walks in.
PKA- Get used to it.
He whipes his wet hair down with a towel. The water still rolls down his face and body, a sign he just came out of the shower. He smiles at Ash, while he comments on how Ash likes to keep her home.
PKA- She takes a lot f pride in having a clean home. Anyone want somethin' to drink?
Adam Payne- I got one, its here, on top of the coaster.
PKA laughs, and turns to Ash. She shakes her head 'no' with a smile on her face. PKA grabs himself a Dr. Pepper out of the refrigerator, and opens it, taking a drink. He has a seat on the couch, and makes sure he puts the pop can on top of a coaster. He gives Ash a thumbs up, and Adam Payne just shakes his head while the other two start laughing.
Ash- Yeah Adam, my house must always be clean. Phil knows what I'm all about.
She leans over and kisses PKA on the lips. Adam looks on in disgust, and rolls his eyes.
Adam Payne- Ahh, can't you keep that kissy kissy stuff away from me?
PKA and Ash both look his way. PKA responds,
PKA- Dude, you're livin' with us, and you'll occassionally see shit like that..and, this..
PKA and Ash rub it in again, kissing each other in another, but this time longer, passionate kiss. PKA looks Adam's way after they finish up. He laughs,
PKA- Dude, I know its not the kinda action you saw in jail, but this is what regular people do. Its regular to have a man and a woman kissing, unlike what you saw there, hell, not happenin' here.
Adam Payne- You have no idea the kinda shit I saw there. But hey man, don't get any ideas. I ain't that way, I'm straight as a ruler, got that?
Ash- What happens if the ruler bends? What if it snaps off and breaks? Then what?
Adam Payne- Do what? Are you on crack or somethin'?
PKA- Hey man! Chill out, she's just kiddin'.
Adam Payne- Yeah, I know, so was I.
PKA and Ash laugh. PKA gets up and grabs a peice of paper off of the brown oak desk in the room. Adam looks over at PKA with question.
Adam Payne- What's That?
PKA takes a second to examine the paper, before looking towards Payne. He holds up the paper and points to it.
PKA- A Fax I got yesterday. Its from Netlink Tours, giving me information on my match for Malice.
Adam Payne- So, now you're returning to the ring, huh? Interesting. Did you see my match last week? Man, I kicked Mikey Rage and Scott, was that his name?, Steele's asses!
PKA- Yeah man, you're a real tough shit huh?
PKA and Ash laugh. Adam looks on with an angry look on his face.
Adam Payne- Hell yeah, man, you better believe that! I saw your match in Headstrong Wrestling on Saturday. I almost didn't get a chance to make it because I was training hard for my match up in Canada, but I figured I'd leave for up North a little late. I figured, hell, you weren't gonna go up until late Saturday night, why not me do the same? You put it to Kris Red man, that match was the showstealer.
PKA- Ya think? Thanks dogg. But ya know what? I'm planning on making my match this week on Malice do the same for NWO. Guess who my opponent is.
Adam Payne- I've only been in this place for a few weeks, I don't exactly know everyone! How about you just tell me?
PKA- He was at Malice last week, Brother Brimstone.
Ash gasps and puts her palm over her mouth.
Ash- Oh my!
PKA turns his attention to her.
PKA- What's wrong?
Ash- Well, its just.. Well, he's kinda, different. And well, he's got ways of doing things, that...I'm just not sure if its wise to step into the ring with him.
PKA walks over to her and reassures her that everything is okay. He looks into her eyes.
PKA- Trust me, babe, its not so bad. Sure, he is something else. Sure, he is 'out there' and will probably pose a threat to me. But come on now, at least give me some credit. I'm the first, and only nWo International Champion! And a guy like Brimstone is just someone else in the way to prove how swell I really am. Given, its not for my title, but I'm going to act as if it was a title match, and I'm going to give it my all. I'm not totally, or only, interested and kicking his ass, as I am interested in seeing how our differing styles will mix. He is quite different from me, but in our own ways, we have the same qualities. He wants to win, as do I, and he has a sick streak, as do I. Its all a matter of who gets the upper hand in the end, and in my mind, its going to be something worth waiting for.
Detective Misty Bradford take a bite of her salad as she looks across at her partner, Matt Stevens. She just can't understand why a person would eat a 1/2 pound burger, with everything imaginable on, and in it. "Why put your body through that?" she'd always ask him. She'd much rather prefer to keep a lean, healthy body, and actually, she has done a spectacular job of it! I bet her husband is a very happy man.
Misty Bradford- So, if you can stop stuffing your face with a herd of cows, could you tell me what exactly you're thinking with this whole switcharooni everyone's buzzing about?
Matt takes a quick fry from his plate ust to piss Misty off, but he means good by it!
Matt Stevens- You mean the Adam Payne situation? Well, it certainly was a shocker, because we were all sure Adam committed that murder. Then all of a sudden, the Lieutenant uncovers some 'new evidence' that changed the case forever. He said it pointed to that David Richards fella..
Misty cuts him off.
Misty Bradford- RichardSON..Matt.
Matt Stevens- Whatever, anyways, that seems pretty odd to me. Why would the Lieutenant even consider bringing the case back up? And how the hell did he find this 'new evidence'? Sounds fishy to me.
Misty Bradford- Damn fishy, I know.
Matt Stevens- It'd be nice to figure out what happened, so I could finally get that promotion!
Misty Bradford- You never stop talking about that, do you?
Matt Stevens has been with the Squad for years, while he has yet to get promoted as he deserves. Misty is a senior Detective, and one step away from being Lieutenant, while her partner, well, not exactly that level. He isn't very happy about that, and continuously looks at any case as 'the case' that could put him on top and make a name for himself.
Matt Stevens- Maybe, we should go by the county jail and meet up with Richardson..
Misty Bradford- You think we should? I'm not so sure..
Matt takes a bite of his hamburger, and a drink of his extra large pop. He clears his throat, and tries to persuade Detective Bradford.
Matt Stevens- C'mon, if there's something that is going on that shouldn't be, and we find it out, it'd be good for the both of us! There's no harm done in going there, we just'll go to check things out, ask him a few questions, that's all. If the boss asks where we were, well, we can say we got caught in traffic.
Misty stops and thinks, she likes the idea, while at the same time, thinks its not such a good idea.
Misty Bradford- Alright, tomorrow, lunch time. That way, we won't have to explain why we weren't at the station. Sound good?
Stevens smiles and snags his last fry, and SNAPS it into his mouth.
Matt Stevens- Sounds great, babe!
Misty Bradford- Oh god, don't you even.
They both laugh.
We fade back to PKA, Adam Payne, and Ash. PKA wads up the paper and tosses it into the trashcan.
PKA- He hasn't said anything about our match, yet. I'm sure he'll come forth and have somethin' creapy and weird to say, but that's expected outta him.
Adam Payne- Oh, now that I think about it some-
PKA cuts him off.
PKA- Whoa! Don't think to hard! Ya might hurt yourself.
Adam Payne- Nice, just nice. Listen, you want me to break your legs for Brimstone? I didn't think so. Now, as I was saying, I saw his promo last week and PKA, that guy is f*ckin' full of it!
PKA- Hey, watch it now, he has, well, special abilities. No joke, the guy's a whackjob, moreso than you even, Adam!
PKA grins. Adam picks up a pillow from the couch and tosses it at PKA, who catches it. Adam says, jokingly..
Adam Payne- You watch, you watch.
PKA- Just shut it, because you know you're gonna be comin' with me, right? You too, Ash, if you want. You don't have to if you think its too scary, but I'd like you there for support.
Ash- Well, I suppose. I'll be there, count me in.
PKA- Great, so its set. We all head to Canada this weekend! Me and Brother Brimstone face off on Malice, and well, my Brotha, bring da pain!
They all laugh and continue to talk. PKA puts the couch pillow back in its spot and takes a drink of his pop as the scene fades to black.
