{{The scene fades
back in. You see you're inside of a limo here, where Skarrphace
and Chaos are sitting on opposite sides.
Chaos is on his digital phone talking to someone while Skarrphace
is seemingly drifting in and out of sleep,
eyes staring out the window. Chaos closes his flip phone and
looks over at Skarrphace.}}
Chaos: Pretty nice of the Peabody to send this
limo to pick us up....
Skarrphace: I made sure of it before we left
Vancouver, they did the same with Karnage and the rest of the
gang....I made sure of it because we're Murder, Inc. We never do
anything half-assed.
Chaos: You ok man? I think we've got this
thing pretty well locked down....not much to worry about is there?
Skarrphace: Never underestimate your opponent,
Chaos....that's when you're vulnerable for a letdown.
{{The limo
slows down and finally comes to a stop. The driver hops out and
quickly goes to open the door.
Chaos is the first out, but Skarrphace doesn't move. Above Chaos,
you see the Peabody Hotel, all lit up in the night.
The downtown district of Memphis, Tennessee isn't as bustling as
it usually is this time of night, which is strange.
The driver proceeds to get out the bags of the two men, as Chaos
turns and waits for Skarrphace to get out of the limo.
When he doesn't move, Chaos leans in.}}
Chaos: Hey, you ok man....You haven't been
yourself since we landed....
Skarrphace: *cracks a smile* Sure man, I just need to drive around a bit and
clear my head. The rest of the gang should be checked in by now,
so go get with them. I'll be up in a few. And be sure to check
out the female massage therapists here, I hear they do excellent
work....
{{Chaos
laughs as he and Skarrphace slap hands in a greeting. Chaos grabs
his bag and Skarrphace's bag and heads into the hotel.
The driver gets back into the limo and rolls down the partisian
window.}}
Driver: So, where to on this night, sir?
Skarrphace: Just drive me around a bit, would ya
please? I just need to clear my mind a bit....
Driver: As you wish....
{{The driver
rolls up the window and pulls out into traffic, what little there
is of it.
Skarrphace begins to talk out-loud to himself.}}
Skarrphace: Mike fuckin' Powers....time and time
again, we have to be subjected to your tasteless, non-creative
bullshit....can't you see the writing on the wall?!?! It's like
everything in this world....evolution....the beginning of a new
era...the changing of the guard....it happens. Your time has come
and passed. It's nothing to be ashamed of really....I mean, I won't
deny that you've had a great career in wrestling....it's been
well documented your success, but you see, the times, they are a-changin'....and
Murder, Inc. is the future. The future is OUR time....it is OUR
world. We make the rules and you must live by those rules or be
forced to pay the consequences. Time is on our side, Powers, and
the time of your reign as GFWA Champion is drawing to a close. We're
less than 24 hours away from the start of Tuesday BackDraft....and
you will have exactly that much time to prepare for the match of
your life. King has worked extremely hard, biding his time,
making himself ready for this, and now he is ready to assume the
lead role in the greatest takeover of our generation. Murder, Inc.
Get used to hearing those words, Powers, for it is the sound of
your doom....
{{Skarrphace
reaches down and opens the cooler inside the limo and takes out a
bottled water.
He uncaps it and drinks a little before setting it back down into
a cupholder.}}
Skarrphace: Karnage is ready for you, too, Stevens,
but are you ready for him? This is my favorite kind of match....a
Loser Leaves Town match, but in this case, it's a Loser Leaves
GFWA match....and now you're worried. I haven't spoken to you,
but I can feel it. Like I feel the wind and the rain, I can feel
your fear. I would be afraid too, if I were you. Thank God I'm
not you, but if I was, I'd be scared shitless. Karnage is one of
the most impressive specimens ever in the world of wrestling....7
feet tall....over 300 pounds....and he can destroy you....no,
scratch that, reverse it....he WILL destroy you....peice by
fuckin' peice and what's left of you will be thrown to the
goddamned wolves in Memphis....don't unpack your bags in your
hotel room, Bret...you won't be staying long....
{{The limo
driver rolls down the partisian window and speaks as cautiously
as he can.}}
Driver: Um...Mr. Skarrphace sir....it's nearly
1:00 a.m. and my shift is over then....my wife and kids are
waiting on me to get back to the house, it's my son's birthday
today....
Skarrphace: *sighs* Just drop me off at the hotel....thanks for
driving me around....
{{As if he
knew what he was going to say, the driver stops the car and they
are at the Peabody Hotel again.
Skarrphace takes out a $100 bill and gives it to the driver for
his troubles.
Skarrphace enters the hotel through the revolving door and there,
standing in a group, is the rest of Murder, Inc.
All of them standing around with a look of mischief in their eyes.}}
Chaos: You done joy-riding now? *grin*
Skarrphace: Yeah, C....what's up here?
Tricia: A night on the town, that's what's up!
Memphis is the playground for Murder, Inc. tonight!
Adam King: Let's go!
{{The entire
group starts laughing as King throws him arm around Skarrphace.
The seven of them exit the Peabody Hotel, laughing and cutting up
as the scene fades to black.}}
