A cloudless blue sky and a scalding hot sun shine over a dusty roadside diner in the middle of nowhere. Inside the diner, Stephen Callaway sits daydreaming and absentmindedly stirring his coffee over and over. Background diners talk and laugh. A radio somewhere plays a country song. Missy sits across the plastic topped table from Stephen. Her cell phone in one hand that utters a soft beep with every key she touches, the other hand reaching for a donut while she refuses to take her eyes from the phone. One beep however stops her in her tracks.
Missy
"Kid Flanagan?"
His wife's voice wakes Stephen from his daydream.
Stephen
"What? Who?"
Missy turns her phone to face him.
Stephen
"Ah. I was gonna tell you."
Missy
"It says here you went storming into Jeremy's office shouting the odds.
Stephen
"Yes. But......"
Missy
"That you referred to KoP as 'My Company' and 'My Roster'. Oh and look, you challenged and are now facing Kid Flanagan this Sunday."
Stephen is (for once) lost for words. He takes a sip from his coffee whilst he searches for the right ones.
Stephen
"I was on a high! I'd just beaten the walking playing card. Convincingly. I.... I.... We're in Kingdom Of Pride. Pride! It's all about taking pride in what you do. I was proud of my match, Adam and CK are clearly proud of what they're doing."
He takes a bite of his apple pie washed down with some coffee.
Stephen
"I looked at the monitor and there he was Kid Benevolence or Flappsicle or whatever his name is, and he was farting around with wet T-shirts and 'Boobshots'. After my match I felt a bit like a superhero......."
Missy rolls her eyes at the word 'Superhero'. Deciding the inch of Cola she has left in her glass won't be strong enough, she motions to a passing waitress that she would like a coffee by pointing at Stephen's.
Missy
"Go on."
Stephen
"Where was I? Oh yeah, so I went to Stirling's office because Flanagan is a Cancer and needs to be removed from my company."
The coffee has arrived. Missy inhales a sniff of the warm java before adding some milk.
Missy
"You're doing it again. 'My Company'. Why?"
Stephen
"It is my company. It's mine and CK's and Abel's and anyone else on the roster. Just like I refer to Rangers, the Seahawks or the Heat as 'My Team' even though I don't play for them. Look at it this way, the better the company does, the more money it makes. The better the company does the more we make. We get bookings with this company and get a regular dollar from them. Flap Whatzit comes in and Cancers the place to death, no money! No company! No bookings! He ran amok in PWF and it's out of business. I have to take him out. You seen what I did to Ace of Diamonds, I do the same to Flap, the company's safe and I'll be the one Chris Hart has to worry about"
Missy sits down her empty cup and finishes the last of her Cola. A quick glance at her watch forces her to start putting her jacket on.
Missy
"It's half two."
Stephen is now on his feet putting his Duffel on while Missy throws her phone into her bag. A quick game of Rock, Paper Scissors later and Callaway walks over to the waitress to pay while Missy exits the diner. Stephen soon joins her and we see the Beetle leave the parking lot as the camera fades to black.
