(The following takes place one day before Talon heads for Australia to begin the HWA Aussy Tour)

Talon is standing outside of a door leading deep underground to Rebecca's Grave Sancturary ( Michael Dredge's secret secret retreat that he had built in his grandmother's honor.) The door slides open and out comes a blond haired woman dressed in a business suit carrying a long slender ornate box in her arms she walks with confidence but the emotion's on her face tells of a different story.

Woman: Nice to see you again Talon, I know I have been a rather hard judge towards you but Michael would of wanted you to have this, after all he spoke highly of you often.

The woman holds out the box as she stops an arms reach away from Talon


Talon looks at the woman as she contemplates her decision... Talon then breaks the silence....

Talon, "Sandra, if you don't trust me with it, by all means, leave it here where it belongs... No hard feelings, I'll understand."

Sandra: No, this is what he would want he even told me after his first battle with Senester that if something should ever happen to him that you would take this sword as well as Rebecca's grove and all that he owns... By right this sword, this land, everything is now yours Talon Wilkinson.

Sandra can't fight back the tears any longer and she begins to break down the sweet tears trickle from her eyes as she holds her gaze upon Talon's eyes

Sandra: Michael told me that Rebecca's grove would be your “Mexico” anytime you needed a place to hide from the world, whenever you needed freedom when you could find it nowhere else, please Talon accept this sword because once you do you will accept all that Dredge worked so hard to build and accomplish no other man is as deserving of Dredge's things as you and he loved you very much, he said many times that you were his little brother.

Talon holds in his emotions as he extends his arms and takes the box from Sandra. He backs up a few steps and sits as he slowly opens the lid of the box, peering inside... as he does, it almost seems as if a light emits from inside as he gazes upon the White Fang... it's strong silver blade shining down to the Ivory hilt, carved into a mighty wolf... Talon removes the sword from its box, continuing to stare at it, inspecting its flawless crafting... He slowly returns it to its resting place before looking back up to Sandra.

Talon, "You know, when I first heard Mike talk about Mexico, I didn't understand it at all, but then one day... we sat down during a sparring session and I just asked 'Mike, what do you mean, your Mexico... and he explained it to me..."

Talon pauses and fights to hold in the tear forming in his left eye... he inhales deeply before continuing...

Talon, "He told me that he and Thane Givens always talked about retiring and starting anew in Mexico, just like the outlaw cowboys during the old west; they'd take all their riches and cross the boards and start a new life, free of the criminal charges they had amassed in the West... and now, i Truly understand why he felt that way... it's..."

Sandra lowers her head and closes her eyes gathering the strength to speak.

Sandra: Have you been to his farm in Nashville? You know ever since he left hwa and Kate left he never went back, he refused to get rid of the place though I told him to sell it because all it was doing was rotting and going to waste.

Talon shakes his head as he walks slowly, almost subconsciously...

Talon, "I went to his wrestling academy when we sparred a few times, but I never saw the farm... Why do you ask?"

Sandra: There still remains alot of Michael Dredge there, if you ever want to reflect on the times you had with him there would be the best place to go, its been untouched since he left you should go in his house and look at all the pictures he had of his family and his time with you on the road.

Talon nods again, thinking of making a stop in Nashville before or after the Australian tour that begins in just a few days...

Talon, "How you holding up? What are you going to do now

Sandra: Well I will start putting in applications to see who I can work for as a business consultant, and or secretary but that won't be until I can cope with Michael's death.

Talon, "Well if you ever need anything at all, just give me a call... I'd be more than happy to help you out."

Sandra: Thank you Talon I appreciate it, but I want you to always remember for as long as Senester draws breath he will hunt you and try to destroy everything that you love and hold dear because he knows that he can never have you, and I just hope you don't share the same fate as Michael, if there is anything I can do for you please let me know and I will do the best I can to help

Talon nods in understanding, he then suddenly remembers something...

Talon, Sandra! Did Michael ever say anything to you about a series of videos that I was to watch if he ever were to be slain?

Sandra: I remember him speaking lightly on the subject but he never said where it was that he kept them, I'm sorry Talon If I knew anything more I would tell you.

Talon curses himself under his breath before nodding again to Sandra, he then takes a step closer and embraces her, they each hug for a moment, feeling a bit at ease, the embrace helping each to know that they have someone to help them through this hard time. After a second, Talon releases the embrace and smiles.

Talon, "Well, thank you for meeting me here, stay safe and call me if you need anything..."

Sandra: Thank you and I will.

With that, Sandra exits the shot, leaving to return to her everyday life, trying to overcome the loss of Dredge... Talon sits down for another moment, collecting his thoughts as the scene fades to black
