Buffalo, New York – Kaleida Health-Buffalo General Medical Center
*We open to the front desk where Mandy has pushed Maniac in his wheelchair as he holds a giant bouquet of different flowers and now they wait for Michelle's room number. Once they had it the couple continued their journey ignoring the various stares and murmurs until they were outside of her room. Maniac hands Mandy the bouquet of flowers for a moment then stands from wheelchair, he takes the bouquet back and smiles at Mandy.*
Mandy: Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?
Maniac: Yeah, I'll be fine. Be back in a few.
*He smiles again before turning back to the door, taking a deep breath, and then knocks. He doesn't get an answer nor does he hear anyone in the room, just the sounds of the machines humming in mechanical harmony. Maniac slowly turns the knob and enters the room and upon seeing Michelle guilt quickly floods him again. Tears swell up in his eyes and he make his way over sitting the flowers down on a side table and then taking a chair sitting it next to Michelle who is sleeping at the moment. Maniac gently takes her hand and sighs.*
Maniac: I'm so sorry Michelle I tried to stop her, we all did but Erica was to strong. We couldn't...
*He can't finish the sentence as he begins to cry uncontrollably, Mandy comes on putting a comforting arm around Maniac.*
Mandy: It's ok baby, this isn't your fault.
Maniac: It is Mandy, it's my fault that demon is here and it's my fault Michelle got hurt.
*Maniac looks up at Michelle as he wipes tears from his eyes.*
Maniac: I swear to you Michelle, I will make things right consequences be damned. Even if I have to drag that demon back to Hell myself I'll do it, just please get better Michelle. We all need you, you are the backbone of HWA Michelle. Without your constant support and encouragement everyone would have given in by now. You're the light in the darkness Michelle and we need that more than ever. Get well soon sweet Angel.
*With that Maniac pulls out and envelope and sets it in front of her, inside contains the hand held recorder and tape which Maniac used to record his full confession of what he did to Antonio's wife to help keep DreamMaster in this plane of existence. Along with that is a note explaining that she need not to worry, any and all bills and/or expenses of any kind were taken care of. Maniac smiles at Michelle one more time before heading back out of the room with Mandy and once they're outside of the room Maniac returns to his wheelchair and Mandy pushes him as they make they're way to the exit. On their way out they passed Michelle's parents, Gary and Leslie Learner. Gary and Maniac eyes met and Maniac gives him a friendly nod as they continue on and the scene fades.*

On camera
*The scene opens to Maniac and Mandy sitting on the couch on Maniac's bus as he, Mandy, and Greg make their way to Tacoma, Washington for the final Havoc before Ringmaster. The inside of the bus is set for Ca$h Out and everyone is ready so you know what that means...*
Mandy: Welcome back to the set of Ca$h Out, I'm your host Mandy Banks broadcasting on the HWA YouTube channel and we're here today with Maniac as we discuss some topics on our way to Tacoma, Washington for the final Havoc before Ringmaster which is sure to be a eventful night being that not only do we have some great matches lined up but all hands will be on deck as we prepare for the return of the most epic tournament known in wresting.
*Mandy shuffles some papers and continues.*
Mandy: Maniac, let's start with recent events surrounding your protege Erica Martinez. At this most recent Havoc we all witnessed the horrifying attack that Erica unleashes upon Michelle Learner under the possession of DreamMaster, and while you, The Sons of Anarchy Jesse, Kratos, Wolfy who were also joined by Luna Rain unfortunately wasn't enough. How are you and the others planning on stopping her? And how do you respond to being considered the "Dr. Frankenstein" of HWA being that you created this monster in Erica Martinez?
*Maniac sighs and shakes his head, reaching into his pocket and pulls out his cigarettes. He takes one and puts it between his lips lighting it and taking a deep drag off of it before answering.*
Maniac: I can't speak for the others Mandy, I have no idea what they have planned but if they need or want my help they known how to get a hold of me. As for me, well I may have a plan to get rid of the demon once and for all. Erica, you know I want to help you but I can't with that demon influencing you. You have to let it go, let's talk I got your voicemail about Ringmaster and I don't know if there's much I can do about it but we can talk about it let's just meet somewhere. As for the nickname, well I guess I deserve that Mandy. I did create this monster and it's my responsibility to stop it, which I will do no matter the cost. This demon HAS to go before it can cause anymore damage.
*Maniac takes a drag off his cigarette and Mandy continues.*
Mandy: Earlier we went and seen Michelle, can you give everyone an update on her condition?
Maniac: Not much of an update really, she stable and resting but she's still comatose. I wish her nothing but the best and a speedy recovery.
Mandy: As we all do here at The HWA and all the fans around the world, lastly I'd like to talk about your tag team partner at Ringmaster who has a match against the debuting Shark at Havoc. Tobias Clarke recently responded to your displeasure of being teamed with him and had some interesting things to say. How do you respond to his comments?
*Maniac laughs and takes another drag off his cigarette.*
Maniac: You know Toby you were partially right during your typical pretty boy bad guy spiel, I DID cheat in the past. I used Erica's distractions, saps, other weapons, fireballs, any and all dirty tactics to win. But what you left out was the fact that it was like I said...the past. Now, since I no longer have that demon holding me back I've been wrestling clean. Something you haven't done since your debut. Infact Toby, all you have done since debuting here in the HWA is the typical "bad guy" routine and I gotta admit I've seen better. To me Toby you're just another Mr. Perfect wannabe...no that's giving you credit, I'd say the Miz but that's STILL giving to much credit.
*Maniac finishes his cigarette and puts it out in the nearby ashtray.*
Maniac: No Toby, I'd say you remind me of Val Venis who once held the Intercontinental Title, but he was truly a midcarder at best. And to be clear yes, I was referring to Sean, Hans, and others in that last part of my promo but you are just to concentrated on yourself to realize it. A word to the wise Toby, you better pay attention or you might not eve make it to Ringmaster. The Shark could easily take a bite out of you and that's it for ol' Toby but no worries "buddy" I'll be there keeping an eye out for you.
*Maniac laughs and winks at the camera and from behind it you can hear Greg snicker.*
Mand: Ok, that's all the time we have for now thanks to Maniac for joining us on Ca$h Out. I'm Mandy Banks and we'll Ca$h you later.
*Mandy smiles as does Maniac as the scene fades to black.*
