*We're in an office at a undisclosed location, sitting at an oak desk in a black leather office chair Santino Romano types away at his computer working on replying to an email that he'd received. As he works he is interrupted by the ring of his phone, causing Santino to stop typing and huffing in frustration. He furiously picks up the phone and puts it to his ear.*
Santino Romano: What? I'm busy!
*Santino has a quick change of expression as be listens.*
Santino Romano: Figlio di puttana!! I knew I shouldn't have left it to that stupid bitch!
*Santino listens for a few more minutes before speaking again.*
Santino Romano: No, I already have someone in mind to finish this. I want you to take care of any police, reporters, anything or anyone that will make this a problem for us. Whatever means necessary, payoff, threats, sudden disappearances, whatever. Just take care of it.
*Santino hangs up the phone then picks it back up, dialing a number then waits for the other end to pick up. After a few rings the other end picks up and Santino speaks.*
Santino Romano: Change of plans, you're up. Use whatever resources you have just get it done and DON'T disappoint me.
*Santino hangs the phone up again and sighs. He reaches over to a box on his desk and opens it, revealing Cuban cigars. Santino takes one, closes the lid, then sits back in his chair. He reaches in his pocket and produces a book of matches and a cigar cutter. He cuts the end off the cigar and puts it in his mouth. He then lights a match and uses it to light the cigar, afterwards putting the match out and discarding it in a nearby ashtray. Santino sits there, smoking his cigar in confidence that the job will be done.*

*We're once again at HWA headquarters in Los Angeles, California where Maniac has reunited with Mandy and their new friend Greg the camera man. Maniac has filled them in on what happened and they both listen in pure shock, after a few moments Mandy breaks the silence.*
Mandy: Oh my God Maniac, Antonio's own brother? This is nuts, shouldn't we call the police?
*Maniac chuckles and shakes his head.*
Maniac: Won't do you any good, Santino is well connected and has many cops, feds, C.I.A., government officials, mayors, politicians in his pocket. The list goes on and on.
Mandy: So what's our next move?
*Maniac doesn't argue remembering last time, he simply continues on.*
Maniac: Well, Antonio and I are still working on that part, right now I need to focus on Matt Miller. Has Butch and Wisdom released the card for Havoc yet?
Mandy: Not yet, they've been having some family issues lately.
*Maniac raises an eyebrow.*
Maniac: Really now? Issues with Sean no doubt, they can't handle the fact that their little Sean took control for once instead of letting good ol' Uncle Butch or Auntie Wisdom take the wheel. Or even that puppet Red Dragon who's recently returned from his love of cosplay as different characters from Veggie Tales, HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
*Mandy has a look of shock on her face and slaps Maniacs arm.*
Maniac: Owwww!!
Mandy: That wasn't nice
*Maniac gives her a look as if asking her if she's really that surprised. Mandy returns a look as if asking Maniac if he'd like the face paint smacked off his face.*
Maniac: Moving on...like I said I have to focus on Matt Miller, I'm so happy Butch granted this my return match.
Mandy: Well if you wanna talk about it...
*She smiles playfully and Maniac returns the smile. Before he can reply his cell phone rings. Maniac looks at his phone and then answers, walking away from Mandy and Greg for a moment.*
Maniac: Kevin my man, how's it going? Miss me already? Haha
*Maniac listens for a few moments before speaking.*
Maniac: Not really sure on time frame, the card could be announced any day now and I really need to start training.
*Maniac listens a few minutes then speaks.*
Maniac: I'll definitely take a rain check buddy, after Havoc we'll get together and have a few drinks. I'll even introduce you to Mandy, she's a huge wrestling fan aswell as a brilliant journalist. She's a huge fan of yours too, been following your career...Ok buddy I'll catch you later.
*Maniac hangs up the phone and puts it away, heading back over to Mandy and Greg and they continue talking about Maniacs match and Havoc.*

*In his home Kevin Armstrong hangs up his cellphone and tosses it aside onto a nearby couch. He walks over to his desk, picking up the unmarked gun he is going to use to kill Maniac/Antonio Romano.*
Kevin Armstrong: Soon you bastard...soon.
*Kevin puts the gun back on the desk and walks off.*
