-=Inside of the hospital room of XXX, X-Rated sits in a chair beside her bed, sleeping. A nurse is in the room checking on XXX’s vital signs, and to see if there is any change. The nurse makes a few notes on the medical chart, and then returns it to the foot of bed, she gathers up her belongings and leaves the room. The room sits in silence, except the beeping of the heart monitor. X-Rated wakes up and reaches out to XXX’s hand. He just lowers his hand onto the back of her hand, and starts to whisper.=-
X-Rated: “Kasie, I’m so sorry I let you down. I promised you that I would protect you, that no harm would ever come to you, and I have failed on that promise. It’s because of me that you are laying here now, and I promise you I’m done with Professional Wrestling, I will never go back after what they have done to you. Please just come back to me, continue fighting, don’t give up on me, or on us. Please.”
{X-Rated begins to weep, as XXX raises her other hand and places it on the back of is head. Startled X-Rated jumps back, as XXX reaches out to him again. He takes her hand in to his and begins to sob, XXX struggles, but starts to speak.}
XXX: “Payton, what are you doing here? You should be getting ready for your match on Sunday………You have worked really hard for this opportunity to be wasting time”
X-Rated: “Don’t worry about it, I’m where I am suppose to be, at your side. I gave my notice to the ICWL after what happened to you, I don’t have a match on Sunday.”
XXX: “What are you talking about Payton? You can’t just quit doing what you love, you have tried in the past, and we both know it wont last. So you get on the phone with Sugar J, or Scott Jarrett or who ever you have to talk to about it, and you go bring home to World Championship! You and I both know you can beat both Killah Sin and Shane Jenkins, so go do it."
X-Rated: "Actually Killah Sin was stripped of the World Title, so I would only have to beat Shane, which I could do with my eyes closed. But my place isn't in the ring against him, it's here with you, during your time of need."
XXX: "What I need is for you to get on a plane to San Antonio, and kick the crap out of Jenkins for me! He's the one that started the whole thing in the first place. He tricked me into thinking we had a mutual understanding, to the point where I was willing to protect him, all the while he was playing me like a puppet!"
X-Rated: "I understand, I just don't think I could focus on a match knowing you are laying in a hospital bed, knowing it was my fault that you are here."
XXX: "Now you listen to me, it's not your fault I am laying here. I made the call to show up at knockout, not you! I was promised to be kept save, by my own family, a person I should have been able to trust. Jenkins and his pack of goons are the reason I'm here not you, but if you don't show up, you will be the reason they hold the power. You are able to stop them, and you are refusing because I got a little hurt. Now you know what you have to do, and that is go back to work and take down "The System" once and for all, do you understand me? It's time for a little "System" Failure!"
X-Rated: "Are you sure you will be fine without me? I still feel like my place is here, not there."
XXX: "Payton, no wait, X-Rated, you listen to me, you know what you have to do, now just get on the plane and go do it! I will be here when you are finished, trust me I'm not going anywhere."
X-Rated: "Kasie, now isn't the time to be making jokes."
XXX: "You're right it's not, and Jenkins being the World Champion would be the Greatest Joke of all, so go put a stop to it before it even starts."
X-Rated: "Alright, you win. I will fly out to San Antonio in the morning, to get ready for my match, and maybe I will bring a little organized Chaos to the ICWL well I'm at it!"
XXX: "What are you talking about?"
{X-Rated leans over and kisses her softly, he then stands up and reaches for his jacket, and removes his cell phone}
X-Rated: "Nothing, don't worry about it. You should get some rest, I have to go and make a few phone calls to prepare for my trip. I will call your mother and see if she is able to come down and be with you, as I don't want you to be alone until I have the matter sorted out with the other part of your family. Rest up and I will see you in the morning before my plane takes off."
-=X-Rated kisses XXX on the hand before walking out of the hospital room. The camera fades out.=-
