The scene opens to show a smoke filled motel room. The heavy smoke swirls about in front of the camera obscuring most of the room. The camera moves slowly into the middle of the room where we are now able to see the shape of a body laying in the middle of the queen size bed. Flames flash up and start growing larger as they begin to burn the cheap curtains next to the bed. The camera moves around the bed opposite of the flames then comes to rest on the bed next to the figures face making it easy to see that it's Brian. Suddenly Brian begins to foam at the mouth and convulse knocking the camera off the bed to the floor. As the camera tumbles to the ground a black figure is seen standing in the doorway. The scene cuts to black as the camera hits the floor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene opens to show a large dusty room featuring dirty white walls and hard wood floors. A wooden bunk bed set is pushed against one wall with a twin sized bed opposite it. The far wall hangs a dusty picture with three teenage boys standing together in front of a cave. Two of the boys appear to be twins both have Blond hair and blue eyes. They are average height with thin builds. The other boy appears slightly older has black hair and green eyes. He stands several inches taller then the other two boys. All three boys are wearing camo jumpsuit and are covered in mud. As the camera nears the picture a two hands reach out and grab the picture down off the wall. Holding the picture in one hand the other wipes the dust off the glass covering the photo. A voice easily recognized as Brian Lance speaks softly.
B: Wow, I can't believe this is still here. We were so happy back then.
The hands flip the framed picture over and fumble about for a few seconds before finally freeing the backing to be removed. As the backing comes off we see slightly faded writing on the back of the picture. It reads...
"Daulton 16, Brian and Seth 14"
B: I will find out what happened to you guys..
Brian is heard saying as the hands fold the picture in half then moves out of the scene.
DV: It's your fault things are they way they are!
A deep voice echos loudly through the room. This cause the remaining hand to drop the picture frame and the camera shot to jump around quickly trying to find a source of the voice but no one is to be seen.
B: Hello? Who's there?
Brian is heard yelling as the camera shot settles onto an open wooden door. The door leads to a hallway that ends at a set of stairs going down. The shot starts to slowly move towards the doorway as the deep voice is heard again..
DV: Brian, You know damn well what happened. You're the whole reason I'm....
The voice fades before the sentence is finished. The shot flickers and flashes as the scene distorts then goes black briefly. The shot opens back up to show Brian Lance laying in the twin sized bed. Standing over him is two teenage boys. They appear to be two of the boys from the picture. They appear as if they just stepped from the picture. The younger blond boy turns to the taller older looking dark hair boy and yells..
S: Daulton we shouldn't be doing this! He's our brother we should be protecting him not attacking him.
D: SHUT UP, Seth!
The Older boy responds as he turns and moves towards the head of the bed while easily pushing Seth out of the way causing the skinny boy to fall to the floor. Daulton looks over at Seth briefly and laughs before speaking.
D: You always were the weak one Seth. How about you stay out of this for a change or maybe you going to run and get mommy? Oh wait I handled that bitch years ago. This Idiot seriously thinks we're missing and alive out there somewhere. It was his hands that caused this and yet you still defend him. Now he thinks rejoining the XWF will somehow right the fact that we're dead. What is it somehow going to bring us back to life? Only thing he's going to be doing is making a fool out of himself and ruining what little respect is left for our family name.
S: Daulton, You know you're not right. I'm not going to let you do this!
Seth yells back at Daulton as he scrambles back to his feet. Seth regains his feet and lunges toward Daulton however he awkwardly trips and falls back to the floor at the side of the bed.
D: I'm not letting this happen, Seth. This ends now before he has the chance to get in that ring with Code Red. I will not stand by and watch this idiot tarnish the legacy. Somethings need to be forgotten. Somethings need to stay buried. He dies now.
Daulton reaches down with one arm grabbing Seth by the back of his cover-alls and slings him easily across the room. He then turns back towards Brian who is still laying motionless on the bed. A sinister grin across Daulton's face as he reaches out and grabs Brian around the neck. Daulton starts laughing hysterically as he squeezes harder and harder. Suddenly Brian's eyes open wide and he starts kicking and gasping for air. He tries to fight out of Daulton's grip but is unable to break the hold and he fades quickly. Suddenly Seth comes back into the picture with what appears to be a baseball bat. He swings it at Daulton who explodes into smoke that quickly obscures the scene. When the smoke thins a little you see you're no long in the old dusty room. We find ourselves back in the smoky and burning motel room. Brian lays motionless in the bed still.
S: Brian, WAKE UP!
Seth's voice is heard yelling.
S: WAKE YOUR ASS UP!
The voice is heard again this time Brian begins to move and gasp for air.
S: Come on Get Out Of Here!
Seth yells again. Brian scrambles off the bed falling to the flooring. He regains his feet and quickly stumbles for the door. As Brian opens the door to escape the room the smoke and flames disappear. The room appears to have nothing wrong with it with no evidence of a fire. Brian pauses in the open doorway with a confused look upon his. He rubs his throat as he slowly returns and closes the door behind him.
B: What the fuck was that Seth?
Brian says to the empty room.
S: I'm afraid Someone is unhappy with you rekindling your career in the XWF. He says somethings need to stay buried. He says you're just going to tarnish what little legacy there is.
B: Wait you telling me this was Daulton? He's the only thing that needs to stay buried. Daulton you don't scare me brother. You didn't scare me before and you for sure ain't going to get to me now.
Brian walks over to the mini fridge in the corner of the room. he reaches out and pulls open the door and reveals a cardboard six pack container missing all but two beers. Brian retrieves one and opens it as he slams the fridge shut.
B: I don't have time for this Seth.
Brian says as he sits down on the bed.
B: We have to cut another promo soon. I'm pretty sure Code Red will be running his cock beaters soon enough and I want to be ready to respond. Hey what time is it?
Brian quickly slugs down the beer and tosses it in the trash can by the window. He then looks around the room before walking over to the far side of the bed. He bends over and picks up the alarm clock from the floor with one hand and the camera in the other. He shakes his head as he looks at the time which reads 8:00.
B:Come on Seth we need to get cleaned up before heading over to Noma Dojo to meet with the trainer. Hey are you going to see if we can cut a promo while we are there?
The scene fades to black as Brian walks towards the bathroom......
