The scene opens as Talon is seen sitting on a couch in the living room of his penthouse. He over looks the city and runs a hand across his face before reaching for a glass of water on the coffee table. As he sits, he hears a knock at the door. He quickly gets up and walks over to the door and opens it. His entire body relaxes a bit and a smile washes over his face as he sees his sister, Ally, for the first time in a month. He hugs his younger sister before speaking.

Talon, "Hey, its good to see you Ally... how've you been?"

Ally, "I've been good, I mean me and Logan are still good and I got to see Scotland and go to a soccer... I mean, football game with him plus we went to the USA/Algeria world cup game... so its been fun, but I've missed you. Where have you been, mom and dad have been asking me, and I dont know what to tell them..."

Talon, "I was tied up with a lot of stuff... between civil court with HWA over not doing enough promos, keeping in shape, and trying to formulate a plan to get back into wrestling... it's been tough."

Ally, "What do you mean back into wrestling?"

Talon, "For about 3 weeks I really contemplated retiring and doing something else... It wasnt because of Senester, because if that were the case I could just sign with a different company, but I was really just kind of burned out. so I weighed my options, and now I've decided I still have that fire inside me that says I want to win back my world title."

Ally smiles seeing confidence in her brother's eyes.

Ally, "See, thats what I wanted to hear. So I was lookin' at your bank statements last week..."

Ally says innocently as she continues...

Ally, "and I see you've been flying to Phoenix, Arizona a lot lately... whats up with that?"

Talon smirks, reminding himself that he made his sister his "financial adviser" thus giving her access to his financial numbers.

Talon, "if you must know... I've been working on opening another ICEBOX, this time in the desert... first Western US branch I'll have opened, so hopefully it gets some new students with a different culture."

Ally nods in agreement, changing the subject suddenly.

Ally, "So you talked to Eddie the other day huh?"

Talon's expressions changes to a more serious one upon the topic change, as he sits down on the couch across from his sister.

Talon, "Yeah, I did... he just seems a little off lately. He keeps having conversations with..."

Ally, "...himself?"

Talon, "yeah, but it's like he thinks he's talking to someone. I don't know, it just doesn't seem healthy."

Ally, "Well are you guys ok now? I mean, is he going to try to break your leg next Havoc or is it done?"

Talon, "I'm done, and if he was nodding at me on the train, then I guess he is too... I hope so, I mean I want to face him again for my title rematch, but I want to do it as a wrestler, not as an enemy."

Ally, "Title rematch? you have like 5 of those in your contract right?"

Talon smirks and nods...

Talon, "Yes I do, two of them can be used whenever I want, in guaranteed 1 on 1 matches, the others are more so at the powers-that-be's mercy."

Ally, "So when are you going to cash it in?"

Talon, "I was thinking about doing it at Blood, Sweat, and Tears... I mean Ed and I have both shed plenty of all three over the past few months, so why not do this thing one more time, man to man without AC James, without Senester, without Parker, or anyone else who wants to inject themselves into our affairs..."

Ally raises an eyebrow at the choice of words...

Talon, "you know what I mean."

Ally giggles a bit as she replies.

Ally, "Yeah I know, I know. So what if Eddie loses the title at Havoc to Senester?"

Talon, "Then it's back to the drawing board because Senester would probably just hand the title to his 'gladiator' and do everything he can to keep the title around his waist."

Ally, "hmmm, so maybe you should cash in your title shot... sooner?"

Talon, "I dont think it works like that bank briefcase... I cant just waltz down to the ring mid match and say 'my turn'... I mean, maybe I should check with legal about that..."

Ally smiles as she hands Talon his cell phone.

Ally, "you should definitely check."

Talon is dialing his agent and HWA legal on a conference call as Ally turns on the TV and hits "HWA onDemand" She flips through the promos... smiling as she stops on Logan's...

(Reporter): Okay Logan just to wrap things up, could we ask why you have chosen this week to come home to Scotland, with such an important match coming up?

Logan rolls his eyes.

(Logan): Aye… Football season starts, Hearts Vs St. Johnstone on Saturday. Plus Ally’s meeting up wi Talon, now that he’s back on the planet she’s wants to update him on ….stuff… like… ye know?…….

He gestures awkwardly towards the reporter for help, but is met with a blank stare.

(Logan): … F*ck knows…. Shit about… us …and stuff… like ma dick size.

Ally quickly hits "NEXT" hoping Talon did not hear the last statement from her boyfriend... she looks over her shoulder and sees Talon on the phone staring out the window.

She lets out a deep sigh of relief... until she turns on Eddie's promo. She calls Talon's name to get his attention, causing Talon to turn and watch.

Talon looks on in disbelief, hanging up his phone mid conversation, and presses 3 on his speed dial...

Talon, "Eddie, it's Talon... I need to sit down and talk to you again, I just saw you on TV talking to yourself bro, what's going on? ...call me back as soon as you can."

Talon drops the phone onto the couch and rewinds the segment, as the camera looks at the TV and shows Eddie talking with thin air... the masked man in the ring staring on in confusion before Eddie slides back into the ring and the promo fades.

Ally, "What's wrong with him Talon?"

Talon, "I don't know Ally, but I have got to find out..."

Talon grabs his phone again and dials a number and begins to pace...

Talon, "Anton, it's Talon, we need to talk..."
