Scene opens at Taylor's apartment in Chicago, some hours after the massive riot he was involved in. We see John Taylor sitting on the couch, watching the news, and seeing the high school gym that he was at a little while ago spewing out smoke. The news reporter goes on the screen to describe the incident.
Reporter: Today was just an average day, when a martial arts tournament went terribly wrong. In the final match of the day, local resident Sean Huntin and HWA superstar John Taylor fought in a match that ended up starting a riot that led to thirty-eight injuries and an entire school gym nearly damaged beyond repair. Officials suspect that the event itself just got out of hand, but are still clueless as to how the riot started.
The riot went on for several hours until police was able to calm everybody down, but not before the damage was done. We were unable to get a comment from Mr. Huntin, Mr. Taylor, or from Ace Jenkins, owner of the HWA. Many city officials are upset over the incident and hope that this will be resolved without placing the blame on any one person. The report on the gym is that it maybe unusable for several months. And now with sports...
Taylor turns off the TV and rubs his head slightly. He had unhooked his phone to avoid having to talk to the press and to avoid Ace until tomorrow.
JT: You know, it just wasn't my day today. I end up causing a riot that gets people hurt and I helped......in a way.......destroy a high school gym. I know for a fact that as soon as I walk into the arena tomorrow, assuming I can get pass the angry mobs that are going to form, he's going to chew me out and probably take me out of the rumble, and that's if I'm really lucky.
Man, this is usually something DBR or KKM does, but not me. Never me. I'm usually the good boy who gives the HWA a good message. Oh fuck, I'm in a hole now.
There is a knock on the door which surprises Taylor.
JT: Oh god, the press found me.
Taylor gets up and goes over to the door and takes a look through the eye-piece to see that it's Vanessa, causing Taylor to tense up a little more.
JT: Out of the pan and into the fire.
Taylor opens the door and looks at Vanessa, who just stares right back at him.
JT: Uh, hey, Vanessa. Sorry about the last minute cancellation, but it didn't exactly turn out to be a good......
Vanessa: I saw the news, John, and I'm just shocked that you caused a riot, of which you called this a "friendly competition"! How the hell were you able to cause that riot, anyway?
Vanessa pushes Taylor back and shuts the door.
JT: Well, you see, what happened was that me and my buddy, Sean, were just talking about good old times, and because of that we got flared up and just went wild. Huntin knocked me into the bleachers, which in turned caused the riot to happen.
Vanessa: Is that the entire truth?
JT: Totally!
Vanessa puts her hand on her chin and walks around Taylor.
Vanessa: You’re going to have to make this up to me, John. And I know of a couple of ways to do so.
JT: Name it. I'll do it.
Vanessa: One of the things your going to have to do is to win that Rumble tomorrow night and win that World Title.
JT: I can't guarantee that, but I'll do what I can.
Vanessa: Another is that you and I will be catching up on our culture over the weekend. Say an opera I just got tickets too.
JT: Ok, sure, I can handle it.
Vanessa walks around Taylor again, still thinking.
Vanessa: How's your head?
JT: Could be worse, I could be somebody else right now!
Vanessa: Very funny, John. I'm very serious about these things, and you know that. My last boyfriend was just a plain jerk, and I don't want to be dating another one. So, you need to prove that you are going to be a good person, which means no more of these riots!
JT: I had no plans of causing anymore.
Vanessa then grabs Taylor, pulling him close, and starts to kiss him.
Vanessa: And you don't seem to be so tired now, so how about a little company?
JT: I wouldn't mind some right now.
They begin to kiss again and Taylor flips the switch off, engulfing the scene in total darkness. The scene then fades to black.
