*We open at O'Hare International Airport where Maniac, Mandy, and Greg all stand by a large screen that displays various flights coming and going from the airport. Mandy pouts and Maniac turns to her, placing his hand gently against her cheek and rubbing it with his thumb.*
Maniac: Don't be upset Mandy, I know it sucks we won't be around each other that much but we'll catch up at Havoc. Besides, this is a great opportunity for you to flex that massive investigative journalist muscle you got. I know you'll get to the bottom of the mystery just be careful, that's a wild bunch you're going to investigating and I don't want you to get hurt with their bullshit.
*Mandy smiles and puts her hand on Maniacs.*
Mandy: You're right baby, while I will miss you bunches I can't wait to dig into this mystery. I'm going to find out the facts and deliver the whole story on the HWA YouTube channel and I'm going to start at the new HWA facility, I want to go back and check the archives. Besides, you best believe we'll be texting and calling each other all day.
*Maniac nods in agreement.*
Maniac: You bet, and while you're there send my love to Butch and the gang.
*Maniac winks before busting out in laughter while Mandy just shakes her head.*
Maniac: Well, before I head to Nebraska how about an interview? I've got a few things to address anyway.
*Mandy smiles and Greg readies the camera, focusing his shot on Maniac and Mandy he counts down and gives the signal.*

Mandy: Mandy Banks here coming to you on the HWA YouTube channel here at O'Hare International Airport with Maniac as he heads to Omaha Nebraska where he scheduled to take on William Draconis. Maniac, what's on your mind?
*Maniac smiles.*
Maniac: Thanks Mandy, before I catch my flight I just wanted to address some things. First off Wisdom, like I told your dikless husband whatever fines or donations I gotta make consider them done. You know I find it funny that your husband challenged ME to a match and then you turn around and act like it's my fault. If you don't want me stomping Butch's head in then as his mommy you might want to tell him to not throw out challenges he knows he can't keep. Same for Hans, if he can't compete then maybe like Butch he needs to keep his mouth shut and leave business to those of us who still have what it takes.
*Maniac laughs, pointing his finger at the camera as if pointing it in Butch's and Hans face.*
Maniac: So that leads me to my opponent for Havoc, William Draconis. You know as well as I do who booked this match and why don't you Draconis? Butch wants us to tear into each other and make it easy pickens for him and his little pups to clear us out. We can't have that can we Draconis? Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about competition but let's not give Butch what he wants. I say we go in there and have us a great match and may the best man win. We're not enemies Draconis, no matter how much Butch wants us to be. I believe we could be friends actually, and we could definitely help each other out. It's like I said to Deas, I'm all about helping friends accomplish common goals. I look forward to hearing from you William and hope you think about what I said.
*Maniac smiles and walks off as the scene fades to black.*

*After they wrap up Maniac and Greg shake hands, wishing each other well and that they'll see each other at Havoc. Greg takes his camera and walks off, leaving Mandy and Maniac to say their goodbyes.*
Mandy: Well, I better get going the flight to California is starting to board. Don't worry about Kevin, I know we didn't find him at the Hilton Chicago but we'll catch up to him eventually. Try and behave yourself while I'm gone would ya?
*Mandy smiles, giving Maniac a playful smack on the arm. Maniac smiles back as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a locket. It's gold with a rose on the front of it that's wrapped in barbwire, inscribed above the picture are the words "Pain and beauty". Maniac hands it to Mandy and she opens it, revealing on one side is a picture of her and Maniac in their first interview together and on the other a message is inscribed. "Through all the pain your beauty shines hope". Mandy's eyes fill with tears and she throws her arms around Maniac and the two share in a passionate embrace. Maniac helps Mandy put the locket on and the two kiss once more.*
Mandy: I'll see you at Havoc baby, be safe.
Maniac: You too Mandy bear, can't wait to see at Havoc. Miss you already!
*Mandy giggles and waves as she walks off to catch up with Greg. Maniac smiles and waves back, however she's put of view Maniac stops waiving and smiling. He takes a deep breath letting it out slowly, letting his shoulders slump. Maniac walks over to a group of chairs and sits, pulling out his phone he dials a number and then puts the phone to his ear. Once the other end picks up he begins.*
Maniac: Sammy? It's Maniac...yeah been a long time I'm good how are you?....That's great to hear man, listen I don't know if you've heard but Havoc is going to be in your hometown and I...Haha well I'm glad you and Delilah been keeping up on current events in the HWA...No shit? That's great that she wants to be a wrestler, I wish her all the best...Well I'm actually about to board a flight to Nebraska thought we could meet up have a few drinks and catch up...sounds great, should be a riot.
*Maniac smirks.*
Maniac: HAHA, couldn't resist. Ok, well I'll get ahold of you when I'm in Nebraska, later dude.
*Maniac hangs up, returning his phone to his pocket before standing and heading to the gate where his flight is boarding.*
