Aggravated Assault

We open in one of the rooms in PKA's home in Wichita. The room is dimly lit, with a little light shining in, or trying to shine in, through the closed blinds and drapes. A Television set is on in the corner, and on it if that of WCCW Breakdown last Thursday as we see Aggravated Assault and Ash making their way down to the ring. The camera shifts and we see PKA and Adam Payne sitting on chairs next to each other. PKA is hunched over, with a black remote in his hand, looking intensly at the TV. Adam isn't as intense, and as nervous, he is more calm, yet shows interest in the screen. They watch as the lights go completely out, and then they come back on and Payne is out cold, PKA and Ash at ringside, battered and beaten. PKA pauses the tape as Jay Dynamite covers.

PKA: What in the hell happened?! I don't get it, who in the hell did this?

Adam Payne: I have no clue-

PKA: I know you have no clue but its fucked up man. What kind of a whimp has all of the lights turned out and then jumps ya from behind? Ash didn't deserve that attack just as she didn't last week and neither did I! And that damn Ref. should've stopped the match because you were out cold, that's just messed up man.

Adam Payne: Whoever took me out had a weapon I'll tell you that much. They hit me hard, and I stil got a lump from the impact! Whichever son of a bitch did this is going to pay.

PKA: I may..may have a good idea who did it.

Adam Payne: Who?

PKA: No I'm just kidding, it stumps me.

Adam Payne: Well I know what doesn't stump me is what I'm gonna do to get some anger unleashed this coming Saturday at Aftershock!

PKA: They should call it Aftermath because what we do this Saturday to The Madstreet Boyz is going to be the fault of whoever attacked us on Thursday.

We switch scenes now to the office of Lieutenant Scott Smith. He goes through a few of his papers on his desk, and pulls out two that are almost identical. They are forms for the two detectives, Misty Bradford and Matt Stevens. There is a knock on the door and Jenny Rice steps in, announcing the arrival of the two detectives.

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Come, come.

The Detectives walk in, past Jenny, and sit down on the two chairs across Smith's desk. Rice closes the door and The Lieutenant looks at the people across from him.

Lieutenant Scott Smith: You two, have done rather well lately, I believe. Well, with the acception to what happened the other day.. I'll let that slide though. I know you two are both working very hard lately and sometimes you tend to lose your sense of concentration and don't always do what is the right thing to do, so I'm going to help you out a bit.

Detective Misty Bradford: What, sir, do you mean by that? If I may ask..

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Well, Miss Bradford, I am ordering the two of you to take a mandatory vacation.

The Detectives get a curious look on their faces.

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Yes, that's right, mandatory vacation. Do what you like, for however long you like, just make it longer than two weeks. You two have done enough lately, I am giving you some time to escape from work. Any questions?

Detective Matt Stevens: Yes sir, I have one. Did we do something wrong? Because it seems to me that you are angry with us.

He reasures them in a calm, collected voice.

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Oh no, that is not the case, I just want to reward the two of you for the very..very hard work you do each and every day. Now, if you have no more questions, that will be all. ....... no? Alright, have a good day, and well, a good vacation detectives.

They both get up from their seats and look at each other. They nod to the Lieutenant and exit the room. The Lieutenant smiles to himself, and reclines back in his chair with his arms crossed behind his head acting as a head rest.

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Finally, now those damn fools won't be in the way.

We go to the Detectives, as they walk down the steps after collecting their supplies they need and putting others away.

Detective Matt Stevens: This is bullshit.

Detective Misty Bradford: No, no Matt.. this is good, this is very, very good.

We go to the living room where we see Ash walking towards the telephone, which is ringing. She picks it up.

Ash: Hello?

Man: Hello, is this Ash?

Ash: Yes it is, may I ask who is speaking?

Lieutenant Scott Smith: This is Lieutenant Scott Smith, how are you today?

Ash: I'm doing fine, and yourself?

Lieutenant Scott Smith: I'm doing good. Listen, PKA said something about you being the one who would deliver my money, is that still good with you?

Ash: ... yeah..

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Good, I suggested it to him that you do so, because if he or Adam were seen with me, people may be suspicious. They don't know you as well and we have never made contact around others. So, is 4 O'Clock good for you? At the place discussed the other day?

Ash: I'll be there.

Lieutenant Scott Smith: Great, I'll see you soon!

The two hang up, and the scene fades.. to.. black.
