Torture: Not exactly the way I had tonight planned.
Rachel: It's okay. I have nothing better to do anyway.
Torture: About that? What did you have planned coming to find me? Why now? I mean, I'm just confused..
Rachel: Well it's simple, I still need closure.
- Torture is sitting on his couch in sweat pants and a local sports jersey. Rachel wearing casual attire reaches down and grabs an ice pack and pushes it to Tort's head. He uncomfortably smiles. He looks down at his feet.
Torture: Closure, why? It's been three years now?
Rachel: Because on February 28th, 2006 I lost my sister and my nephew! I just needed closure..
Torture: I see.
Rachel: I haven't seen you since the funeral. I saw that you were on television again, doing wrestling and wanted to get a hold of you. Finding out at the airport was my only option. Thanks to the economy now I don't have much place to live, and I got laid off from the beer packing company. I just needed a friend is all.
Torture: I'm a friend.
Rachel: Thank you. I figure I can stay here for a few days, get back on my feet?
Torture: I don't care.
Rachel: Thank you.
- She hops off the couch and pours a cup of coffee. She walks back from the kitchen back to the couch and sits down once more.
Rachel: So tell me about wrestling. I've been trying to catch up on it recently in the last few weeks.
Torture: It's simple. Gravedigger is the root of all that is pure evil, and my hatred for everything in life stems from him. Problem: He runs Wrestling Championship Federation. Now Seth Lerch is trying to get it back and has put together a nice team; Dake Ken, Corey Black and Logan. They need a fourth, and Seth and some of the fans have been wanting me. I think that's what Gravedigger wants though.
Rachel: Yeah?
Torture: He attacked me, and is trying to forcefully persuade me into the match I think. The Dark Side doesn't intimidate me, not like our team does.
Rachel: Your team?
Torture: Well, WCF's Team anyway. I don't know if I should join.
Rachel: Why is that?
Torture: No use in it. Dake Ken? We were friends, but I turned on the New Dynasty and busted him good when I defended my title against him. Corey Black? I know everyone wants a reunited-Corey Black-Torture reference time after time, but there's no way I could go back to being friends with him. He's changed.. which isn't good. And then there is Logan.
Rachel: Yeah?
Torture: Used to be the king of the WCF, that is until I took the crown and have ran with it ever since. He's good, he likes hot dogs, but he's good. Is he great? I don't know anymore, right now, after you finding me, and having my mind tell me things, I don't know what to think anymore.
Rachel: So what are you going to do?
Torture: I have no idea. I don't know what I'm going to do half the time, but I know it's precise, and I know my decision is clear when it comes time, so I really don't have to think about it until push turns to shove. I'll make my decision when the time is right. I don't even know if I'm going to be at Slam next week anyway.
Rachel: Oh.
Torture: Always calling me.
- Mr. WCF is obviously referring to his cell phone which is vibrating right next to him. Torture looks at it then shakes his head.
Rachel: Who is it?
Torture: Chris Avery.
Rachel: Why don't you answer it?
Torture: Another thing.. I'm not sure if I really want to talk to him anymore either. I mean, I love the dude like a brother, but right now I just want to be alone with my thoughts ya'know?
Rachel: Oh, I can go?
Torture: Nah. You're fine. You're good. I just need to relax. I'll go up stairs. There's two rooms down here, and of course the kitchen is full. Use what you wish. You have a master bathroom down here too.
Rachel: Thank you. Goodnight.
- The Tort stands up and gives her the ice pack just as she stands up. He gives her a hug. Torture's face tells the story. His look is like 'what the hell is a woman hugging me for?' Torture walks up the stairs and grabs his cell phone in the meantime. He listens to the voice message. Rachel walks into one of the open bedrooms and closes the door. Scene fades out.
Rachel: It's okay. I have nothing better to do anyway.
