Antonio: So how was your day Angelo? Have a good day in school?
*Angelo beams with excitement and shakes his head.*
Angelo: Yeah dad, it was great. We had these business people from CBS come in and talk to us. They talked about how they broadcast shows all over the world, it was really cool. They even talked about their new partnership with the HWA, isn't that the wrestling company you worked for?
*Antonio, who was in mid drink from his water bottle drops the bottle and turns to his son.*
Antonio: What did you just say?
*Angelo freezes, thinking that he said something wrong but after assurance from his dad that he said nothing wrong he continued. *
Angelo:Yeah dad, they are reopening HWA. Butch and Wisdom Parker co-own it now, aren't you friend's with them? Could you get me an autograph? Are you gonna go back dad? Dad?
*Angelo tries to get his father's attention but Antonio just sits there staring forward with a blank look on his face. After a few moments Antonio is still staring forward but speaks.*
Antonio: I don't know bro, all I know is that from here on out nothing is going to ever be the same.
Angelo: What dad?
*Antonio suddenly snaps out of it shaking his head and blinking his eyes. He looks over at Angelo and smiles.*
Antonio: Nothing son, I'm glad you had a great day.
*Antonio smiles again and pats his son on on the head. The rest of the car ride is silent and when they get back to the Romano estate Antonio has the butler take Angelo to his room to start his homework and Antonio goes to his den. He steps inside and shuts the door then heads to the bar and making himself a Jack and Coke. An old favorite, one he hasn't had in a while like an old friend he hasn't heard from. He stands for a minute taking drinks from his glass before pulling out his cell phone and dialing a number, one he hasn't dialed in years. He puts the phone to his ear and let it ring, after a few rings it goes to voicemail and after the beep Antonio leaves his message.*
Antonio: Hey Butch, I know it's been a long time and I know we haven't always seen eye to eye and I know especially we didn't leave off on a good note. But we need to talk, you know what about. Call me when you get the chance.
*Antonio hangs up and puts the phone on the bar then takes another drink from his glass laughing as he does so.*
Antonio: Here we go...a long time waiting
*Antonio finishes off the glass and slams it down on the bar. He walks off leaving only the glass in view and in the background you can hear the beginning of a very familiar laugh, one of chaos, one of a pure maniac.*
