(The scene opens with a large board back lit with led lights. The shadow of two chairs, one with a back and one that is backless, much like a low sitting bar stool on wheels. A door to the right opens and it illuminates the room briefly before a man and a woman walk in. Through hearing the banter between the two of them it's obvious that it is Caleb "The Surgeon" Cale and Kelly Nichols, Rise Interviewer. Caleb gestures to the backed chair.)
Caleb Cale: "Miss Nichols, please have a seat..."
(The light now illuminates our two subjects. Kelly is dressed in a tight shirt that accentuates every movement. She has finished off the ensemble with a grey turtleneck and a black blazer that goes over it. Cale is dressed equally impressive. Long grey editor pants that stop just at the lower ankle before his Boston Traveler Oxfords. He is slightly more casual than usual up top, wearing a navy button down with the two top buttons undone and sleeves rolled up to his forearm. In his had is a folder in which he pulls x-ray after x-ray and places it on the back lit board. He stands staring at them momentarily and can't help but to form a slight grin. He then sits in the wheeled chair and slowly pulls himself close to Kelly Nichols. At first she is a little thrown by what she's just witnessed, but snaps back into her professional manner.)
Kelly Nichols: "Mr.Cale..."
Caleb Cale: "Yes..."
(Kelly gathers some questions she had prepared for Caleb and proceeds.)
Kelly Nichols: "Thank you for giving me the chance to get to know who you are a little better. I understand that you had a very successful stint in the AWA before deciding to get back into wresting. You were even the AWA Champion at one point. After the promotion closed its doors you were no where to be found. Where did you go? What did you do?
(Caleb strokes his chin and lets his eyes wonder to the board gathering his thoughts before returning his attention to Kelly Nichols.)
Caleb Cale: "Well Ms. Nichols, when you can't practice in the United States, land of the free...you have to get creative. I spent my time studying numerous cases through out the world. Places where a "helping hand" is appreciated, no matter the way that the hand helps..."
(Kelly swallows hard, she is smart and has done her research. She knows who she's in the room with.)
Kelly Nichols: "After Uprising you took to twitter, leaving cryptic messages not only for Rise as a whole, but more specifically, Zeek Williams. Why was this the time for you to resurface?"
(An evil smile forms on the lips of Cale, he bows his head and then looks back up at Ms.Nichols.)
Caleb Cale: "I watched three ghosts stand together on Friday night. I knew all of them, whether it was to merely acknowledge them, manipulate them...or brake them. I saw them and thought to myself that if there is still a challenge out there like them...I want back in. I became obsessed with the idea of seeing what I could still do."
(Caleb closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, he then opens his eyes.)
Caleb Cale: "It is even...if I can say...intoxicating to think about what I can do."(Caleb wheels over to the board with x-rays.)
Kelly Nichols: "I was just about to ask about those..."
(Caleb points to a x-ray of what looks to be the ribs.)
Caleb Cale: "This? This is Zeek William's ribs. Can you see the bruising on the bones here? So...so fragile. Or look here..."
(Caleb points to a x-ray of a knee.)
Caleb Cale: "Ms. Black's meniscus has taken so much punishment. look at the discoloration here...It can't take much more without having it completely removed."
(Kelly Nichols looks shocked and fascinated all at the same time.)Kelly Nichols: "How about that one of the broken bone in the shoulder?"
Caleb Cale: "That one is of some of my past work. I figured I would let Mr. Kincade know what bone of his I will snap April 3rd...The clavicle bone. That way we all won't have to watch him ridiculously raise his arms up to strum on a make believe guitar. He'll be lucky to raise his arms...at all."
(Kelly's look of shock and awe has now become one of shock.)
Caleb Cale: "Was this the big interview you were looking for? Were you looking to hunt down the monster you've researched about? Well you have what you need I believe...You can go now...
(The scene fades out with Kelly Nichols quickly gathering her things and Caleb turning the other direction.)
