(Fade in on a Hospital ER. Tempesta is sitting up on a gurney, his legs slung off one side and is facing a doctor who is holding a clipboard. Mysterious Stranger is there, as is Dieter.)
DOCTOR: I won't discuss it with these, (eyes Dieter) people, in the room.
TEMPESTA: They're my family. It's fine.
DOCTORLooks at the immaculately dressed Mysterious Stranger, with his bald head and his ebony skin, then to the massive 7' plus Blonde haired Blue Eyed Dieter, then back to Tempesta) Riiight. (Frowns) I see the resemblence.
TEMPESTA: Are you doubting the vera...(Shakes his head and steadies himself on the gurney) The truth of what I'm saying? (Dieter's chest swells as he takes a deep breath, waiting for an answer, Mysterious Stranger Cooly looks from one person to the next, his face an impassive mask)
DOCTOR: (Giving up) Fine. You have a grade three concussion. That means a full month with no rattling your head, if you want to avoid brain damage.
TEMPESTA: So when will the ringing in my ears stop? (Shakes his head)
DOCTOR: Well, if you stop shaking you head like that, about a week. Your balance should return to normal in a week or so. If not, get to an ER.
TEMPESTA: OK. Fine, So, I'm free to go?
DOCTOR: No, we'd like to keep you overnight for observation, just in case.
TEMPESTA: In case what?
DOCTOR: You took several severe blows to the head tonight, at least one of which knocked you unconcious. If you slip into a coma in your hotel, who is going to take care you? Here you'll have immediate care.
TEMPESTA: (Looks at MS, who nods once) OK, fine doc. You got a room for me?
DOCTOR: All set, a private room just like you asked for.
TEMPESTA: Thank you Doctor. (Shakes hands with the Doctor, who then leaves)
TEMPESTA: (Looks into the Camera) Adrenaline, that was one h*** of a match, You brought your A game, and I respect that. No, check that, I respect YOU. The way I see it, we got bigger fish to fry in this... (Eyes search around as he tries to remember)
MYSTERIOUS STRANGER: (From off camera) Steel Viper.
TEMPESTA: Thank you, Steel Viper a****** who jumped up in our business. We can settle this later, you and me, at Futureshock if you like, or we can let it go, your call. Me, I want a piece of that punk just as soon as I'm cleared to wrestle. In the meantime, balls in your court holmes.
(Sound Cuts out and we see TEMPESTA trying to stand on wobbly legs as we FTB.)
