Scene opens outside an airport in Chicago. There is a taxi waiting outside and an airline attendant putting a couple of bags in the trunk. We see two people talking just outside the cab, and we see it’s Sean Huntin and John Taylor.
SH: I actually thought the Wizards were going to win that game. I knew Jordon will flop, but I thought the Wizards would beat the Nets.
JT: You’re a Knicks fan, Sean, I expected you to cheer against the Nets. But this team is a different team from the ones that appeared in years passed. The Nets are a championship caliber team. They are going all the way.
SH: Yeah, right. I’m just waiting for that moment when they start to crumble like they always do. Come on, bags are packed, lets go.
They climb into the cab and it takes off.
SH: I hope Allison took care of everything while I was gone. I mean, she isn’t experienced enough to handle some of the kids…
JT: I’m sure she did well, Sean. I’m pretty sure when we get there we aren’t going to see her tied up against the corner because the kids were able to overpower due to their numbers.
Sean stares blankly at John. A moment of awkward silence follows.
SH: You are not helping my confidence factor here, John.
JT: I’m trying to lighten you up a little. I’m confident in her.
SH: Hey, and don’t think I don’t know about you two.
JT: What?
SH: I see how you two look at each other. I know what’s going on. Let me tell you this for your own good. She’s only going to bring trouble with her anywhere she goes. She just happens to be unlucky, that’s all.
John stares blankly at Sean. Another moment of awkward silence follows.
JT: What the hell are you talking about?
SH: Uh…..never mind then. So, how confident are you about facing Eric Mega?
JT: I’m just going to have to do my best, that’s all. Mega will provide an interesting opponent. It’s all about who can last longer, me or him. And if it comes down to submission moves, he will know first hand that I will never submit unless I’m dead or in a coma.
SH: Still like bragging that fact that you have yet to lose via submission?
JT: I dunno. It helps to know that submission moves don’t work against somebody like me. So I’ll be the one who takes out Mega, and add a little revenge for his attack on me last week.
SH: Oh, and thanks for the backstage passes. But I don’t think I’ll be using them tomorrow night. But I bet Allison would like to go, eh?
JT: You just want me to kill you.
SH: Just saying, that’s all.
They arrive at the dojo. They get out of the came, grab their bags, and go up the stairs. As they enter, they see Allison in the corner with her hands behind her back. Sean has a look of shock, then looks at John with the same face. They go closer to Allison, just as she wakes up and stretches her free hands up in the air. She sees John and Sean staring right at them.
AK: Morning guys. How was your trip?
SH: Allison, please don’t scare me like that, ok?
AK: What’s the problem?
JT: Sean thought that you would be tied up because the kids would overpower you.
AK: Where would he get an idea like that?
Sean stares at John.
SH: I think I already know.
Allison gets up and hops in place to get the blood flowing through her again.
JT: Question, did you spend the night here?
AK: Well, I was cleaning up the place and it got really late so I just kinda crashed here.
SH: What time is late?
AK: About 2 in the morning.
JT: And you were able to sleep well in the corner like that?
AK: Yeah. It wasn’t a problem. It’s actually more comfortable than my bed.
SH: Well, its morning, go home and get some more rest.
AK: Ok! Let me just get changed and I will go.
Allison walks past the two and enters a changing room. Huntin throws his back against a wall.
SH: Better get ready for tonight. I wonder how my students will be tonight after having Allison teaching them.
JT: I’m pretty sure they will do as well as me beating Eric Mega tonight. This, of course means they will be very good, indeed.
SH: I’ll have to take your word for it. Good luck tomorrow night, ok?
JT: Thanks. See ya.
Taylor leaves the dojo and just hangs around outside, breathing in the fresh air.
JT: Use this time train for tomorrow night. Take names and no mercy. My reign continues, and I will return to the top.
Taylor walks away as the scene fades.
