Suddenly, from the reception area a couple walk in and take their seats in a different corner. They are Logan Neilson and Ally Wilkinson. They are giggling amonst themselves, whilst Logan holds and ice pack to his right hand.
(Logan): Aw christ sake, I hope it’s no’ broken.
He takes away the ice pack to have a look at his hand which has noticably swollen.
(Ally): Yeah, I think it is. You can’t punch someone a hundred times in the head and not hurt yourself silly.
(Logan): True, I bet he’s feeling it a lot worse though.
He smriks through the pain as he reapplies the ice pack.
(Ally): Yeah and if it wasn’t for that Fallen freak you would have won!
(Logan): Aye.... He’ll get what’s coming tae him. I’ve worked ma arse off tae get another title shot and got ####in’ screwed again. Evers is a lucky boy that’s all I can say.
Ally nustles into him.
(Ally): Don’t worry that can wait for another day I think. You might not even be able to fight at Havoc.
Logan lets out a laugh.
(Logan): I’ll be fighting at Havoc regardless. I willnae be easy but I’ll just take a #### load of pain killers. It’ll take more than a broken hand tae keep me out.
A few minutes pass as they discuss Ally moving in with Logan and how Talon might take it, when an Indian doctor comes down the corridor.
(Doctor): Logan Neilson?
Logan looks up to see who called him, he nods to the doctor, gives Ally a kiss.
(Logan): Ye be okay waiting here? I shouldnae be long.
(Ally): Of course I’ll be fine. I’m a big girl.
They kiss again before Logan follows the doctor down the corridor and into a small office/ward.
(Doctor): Now Mr Neilson my name is Doctor Singh. What seems to be the problem?
(Logan): Er.. ma hand’s ####ed.
He shows the doctor his right hand, the swelling has gone down slightly but there are clear bruises forming over his first three knuckles. The doctor examines the hand for a while, causing Logan to grimace a few times.
(Logan): What dae ye think?.... It’s ####ed eh?
The doctor laughs a little.
(Doctor): Well Mr Ne-
(Logan): Logan.
(Doctor): Well Logan, It’s still quite swollen so it’s hard to tell exactly what is broken or fractured without an X-ray. How did it happen?
(Logan): Aw... this guy I work with head butted my fist really hard... like a hundred times.
Seeing the doctors confused expression Logan laughs a little before explaining.
(Logan): Am a wrestler with H-W-A. I think I broke it at the show during my match.
(Doctor): Oh I see, How come it’s taken so long to come here then? Don’t you have doctors at the show?
(Logan): Aye but I didnae realise it was that bad, wasnae ‘til my girlfriend pointed out it might be broken I thought I best comes here and let ye have a look. Maybe ye could just prescribe me some painkillers and I’ll be offski?
The doctor ponders for moment, still prodding and poking at Logans hand.
(Doctor): Mr Neil... Logan, sorry, I’d like to take some X-rays if you don’t mind. It could be quite a mess and if so we’ll have to make sure the bones re-set properly.
Reluctantly Logan agrees as the scene fades out, and comes back into focus some time later back in the waiting room. The doctor walks Logan back, whos hand is now in a cast, he hands him a container with painkillers in it and gives him the instructions, Logan nods in agreement and then they shake (Left) hands before Logan walks to Ally who is sitting bored, texting on her cell.
(Logan): Hey, sorry it took so ####ing long, had to get an X-ray and shite.
Ally notices the cast.
(Ally): Holy crap, what’s wrong?
(Logan): Nothing bad, 3 fractured Metacarpals and I broke the Middle Phalanx of my Index finger.
(Ally): Well that sounds pretty bad!!
Logan laughs as she gets to her feet and takes his good hand, as they walk towards the exit.
(Logan): Could have been worse honey. Should have the cast off in a couple of weeks. He advised me not to fight but.... we’ll see, if I’m booked in a match, I’ll fight.
Ally starts to protest with Logan as they walk out of sight as the scene slowly fades to black.
