Lightning crashed in the distance ripping a jagged edge through the dark clouds that surrounded it. Striking somewhere in the distance leaving a trail of destruction in it's wake. Pellets of rain the size of a dime began crashing down like legions of deadly creatures in search of prey. They pound relentlessly against the windows and the side of the house as Hank 'Thunder' Lane looks out. The wind begins attacking the trees as they bend almost to the ground. The rain looks as if it is almost moving sideways. He smiles as he turns towards the camera and begins to speak.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Well, well, well. I bet you bitches never thought you would ever see me here. Well, Surprise bitches. It seems to me that I left some unfinished business when I had to high tail my ass out of here. You see it's not good to get the wrong people looking for you if you know what I mean. Anyway none of that is of any importance. I have a match coming up at warfare against uh, who was it now? Space age warrior? What the fuck is that? Hey dumb fuck, The space age was a long time ago. What? You come here in some damn time machine or something? I'm about to kick your ass back to whatever time you came from. That way when you come this way again you get to experience it twice. How's that for an ass kicking? Let me know when you come back through how good it was.



He takes a drink from the glass of Jack and Coke he is holding. A fire blazes in the fireplace across from him. The light from it shows in his eyes as he stares into the camera.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
You see space monkey. You just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. You have to face me in a match of my choosing. Spin the wheel make the deal. That's how it goes. I have a wheel spinning in my head right now. Let's see what it lands on. You know what space monkey. How about I show you a little TlC. That's right bitches. I'm talking about a nice little bit of Tables, Ladders, And chairs since The powers that be were so kind to allow me to make the choice as a return present. Wasn't that fucking sweet of them? Of course, you won't think so when I'm done with you.



A knock on the door interrupted him. He turned and walked towards the door and looked through the peep hole. He smiled as he opened it and grabbed the woman standing there.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Angel, How good to see you again. Damn you look good. How did it go?



Angel Fyre
It went just as we planned it. The dude's on ice for at least twenty. You know how we roll.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Isn't that the truth. I told him he didn't want to fuck with us. The dumb fuck wouldn't listen.



Angel Fyre
You getting ready for your match? Are you nervous at all?



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Yeah, I just finished my workout and was sending a little message to the space monkey to let him know how I was going to kick his ass. Give him a little something to think about over the weekend. You know how I love ruining peoples weekends. Just the thought of having to face me one on one in the ring is enough to scare anyone and have them fearing for their life. You never know what kind of shit I might end up doing. I know it's going to be bloody and you know how I like blood.



Angel Fyre
Almost as much as I do. There's nothing like taking a chair and beating the shit out of someone with it. Listen, anyway the reason I came over is because Dick Head has been asking around about you. It seems he wants to do an interview with you.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
I wonder how old Richard Cranium has been doing? He didn't like it too much the last time I saw him when I dumped a bucket full of tarantulas on him.



Angel Fyre
Yeah, it's a good thing their poison had been removed. It still nearly scared him to death. The poor guy shit his drawers right there and then. Really stunk up the place. I laughed my ass off. Hey, How about we head down to the bar to have a couple drinks. Shoot a little pool and listen to the tunes?



Hank paused the camera and removed the headset he was wearing. After grabbing his keys from the table he closed the door behind them as they headed out. He opened the door of the 69 Dodge Charger for her as she climbed in the passenger seat. He closed it and went around to climb in the drivers side after she had unlocked it. The engine screamed as he fired it up and let it run for a moment before taking off. He turned on his wipers as he backed out of the garage. The rain was coming at more of a regular angle as the wind stopped for a moment to catch it's breath. He drove the short distance to the Z-Bar.



The bar was packed when they stepped inside. A band onstage was playing 'Hair of the Dog' by Nazareth as people jumped around on the dance floor like monkeys jumping around in a cage. Two guys over at the pool table were arguing about a called shot as the waitress was trying to break it up. A guy at the bar was trying to come on to a woman who definitely wasn't interested in him. Hank laughed as she slapped the guy across the face. They walked up to the bar at that point and Hank pushed the guy out of the way towards the door.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
get the fuck out of here you little bitch. You deserved to get slapped like that. Hey bar keep, Give me two large Jack and Cokes and keep them coming. I got you covered.



he sat down in the seat he kicked the guy out of and Angel Fyre sat in the one on the other side of him. The lady looked at him gratefully and smiled.



Chesty LaRue
thank you, The guy just wouldn't get the message. He's been bothering me since he came in. I couldn't take the shit anymore. My name is Chesty.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Mine is Hank and This is my good friend and Manager Angel Fyre beside me here.



Angel Fyre
Don't you hate punks like that? I like to beat the shit out of them and laugh when they cry like a little bitch. It's nice to meet you.



They continued talking and drinking as the night wore on. One song bled into another as the minutes passed them by. The storm outside was beginning to lose it;s fury as another storm began to brew in the distance. The crowd begins thinning out as they move between shooting pool and hitting the dance floor. the three of them even sharing the slow dances and holding each other tight. Eventually the band leaves the stage and only a few other patrons remain. The three of them begin to leave together when the door opens and a young woman comes in with blood pouring from her mouth begging for someone to help her. Hank grabs his cell and dials nine one one as Angel Fyre and Chesty rush over to the fallen woman.



Angel Fyre
The ambulance is on the way. Take it easy. It's going to be alright.



The woman looked into her eyes and she knew that it was too late. Angel watched as the light began to dim behind her eyes before going completely out. The woman's body turned cold as ice. Hank ran outside just in time to see the guy he had kicked out earlier running down the street. He jumped in the Charger and fired it up. He flew out of the parking lot and down the street. It wasn't long before he spotted the guy and pulled the Charger in front of him to cut him off. Hank jumped out of the car and tackled the guy to the ground. When he picked him up Hank could see blood on the guys shirt and he wasn't bleeding. Hank hit him with a solid right that broke his nose and sent blood flying everywhere. Someone grabbed him from behind to pull him off while someone else grabbed the other guy. Hank tried to get loose and go back after the guy but was unable to.



Officer
Easy now, I don't want to have to lock you up too. We got him now. Do you need any medical attention?



Hank calmed down when he realized there was nothing more that he could do. But damn that felt so good. The sound of his screams was almost enough to give him a hard on. He turned and smiled at the officer.




Hank 'Thunder' Lane
No, The blood is all his. He swung on me and I broke his nose. I wanted to kill the son of a bitch for what he did.



Officer
That's the way I saw it too. You know I couldn't let you do that. Come on inside now and give us a statement. This guy was a real sick pervert for what he did to that woman. What a waste.



He followed the officer inside and comforted the two women as he walked up to where they were at the bar. The bartender brought them a drink on the house as they relayed their stories to the police. Before long they cleared out and the investigators came in. the Z-Bar would have to be closed a few days while they investigated the area for clues. Hank, Chesty, And Angel Fyre left and went back to the house. Hank turned up the fireplace and grabbed a fresh bottle of Jack from the bar near the window. he grabbed three glasses and walked over to the table to set them down. Angel and Chesty sat down in two of the soft bar stools as Hank poured their drinks and placed a cube of ice in each one.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
I think we could all use one of these. Here you go ladies.



Chesty LaRue
Thanks. I knew that guy was no good. I just feel so sorry for that poor woman.



Angel Fyre
I hope they fry his damn ass. Guys like that don't deserve to live.



Chesty LaRue
I'm just glad that you guys were there. That could have been me. If hank hadn't removed the guy?



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
I just can't stand losers like that. I bet if you took his jacket off he'd have a space monkey home made tee shirt on. You know, the kind you do yourself with markers. That reminds me. I have a little message I have to finish. You ladies know how I hate to leave things undone.



Hank walks over and picks up his headset as he turns on the camera. Chesty and Angel slide closer together and begin talking among themselves as he looks into the camera and begins to speak.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
Let's see, where was I? Oh yes I was about to show a little TLC to a space monkey. How you feeling there space monkey? I hope your ready for the ass kicking of your life. You see. You just don't know who you are about to go up against. tell me space monkey, How much pain can one man take before he cracks? How much blood can one man lose before he passes out? your about to find out. You see, You got thrown out there like a test monkey to see if old Hank still had it. your their little sacrificial lamb thrown to the wolves. I'm not going to feel sorry for you one bit. I'm going to take advantage of every moment.



Angel Fyre and Chesty begin laughing and hug each other as thunder roars and lightning crashes in the distance. The fire cracks and pops as Hank takes a drink from his glass and continues speaking.



Hank 'Thunder' Lane
You see space monkey. I like to hurt people. I like to see the pain and anguish burning in their eyes as they struggle to hang on. I once stripped a guy naked, poured a bunch of honey on him and tied him to a tree out in the forest for the animals to eat alive. Then I set up a camera and filmed the whole thing. The horror that he suffered was straight out of a horror movie. I won't do that to you but by the time I am finished you'll wish I had. I sure hope that you are ready for a storm that's going to blow through your ass like a hurricane through the south. It's time to take your last flight space monkey. Enjoy the ride!



He turns off the camera and looks towards Angel and Chesty. The two of them are softly kissing and holding each other close. Angel Fyre sees him looking and smiles at him.



Angel Fyre
Don't just stand there gawking. Come over here and join us.



Hank threw off his head set and did just as she said. Meanwhile somewhere across town Richard Cranium is waiting at the wrong hotel for an interview that just isn't going to happen.
