We open to the Thomas’s overlooking the bay in San Francisco looking out towards Alcatraz prison. Standing with them is daughter Leliana holding Lissandra and Bethany’s hands. George has been told to stay within the limo.
Bethany: It’s an intimidating sight, isn’t it?
Lissandra: Certainly is. Dylan?
Dylan is silent for once as he looks out towards the prison. In fact he hasn’t said a word since getting out of the limo. Lissandra is concerned for her husband’s well-being. Seeing a nearby rock large enough to sit on, Dylan takes a seat removing his shades.
Lissandra: Baby? What’s the matter?
Dylan pauses again for a long beat before replacing his shades and standing up.
Dylan: ……...Nothing.
Lissandra: Don’t lie to me, mister! Something’s up – I can see it. We all can.
Leliana lets go of her mother and babysitter’s hand and walks towards her father. Dylan can’t help but smile as he sees just how far his infant daughter has progressed in one year. Dylan scoops Lilly up and sits her down on his lap before kissing her cheek and then looking at the prison across the bay once again.
Dylan: I dunno. It’s just – I was just thinking… people years ago broke out of that place and there were sharks in the bay as they made the crossing over. Kinda sick when you think about it.
Bethany: I thought that was just a myth…?
Dylan: Hmph. I wish! Oh well. Shall we get going?
Dylan stands up, holding on to Lilly.
Dylan: Wanna go on a boat ride Lilly? Shall we ride a boat?! Yeah?
Dylan kisses his daughter again who is ecstatic about riding in a boat. Everyone smiles at such a cute little girl. The group walk down the street towards a vendor who is taking care of the boat rides to Alcatraz prison.
Vendor: ROLL UP! BOAT RIDES OVER TO ALCATRAZ PRISON! $10 PER PERSON! $5 FOR CHILDREN ABOVE THREE!
Dylan walks up to the vendor carrying Leliana
Lilly: Boaty!
Lilly can see the boats behind the vendor ready to go. She’s beginning to get more and more excited at the prospect of going on a boat.
Dylan: Excuse me, man…
Vendor: Yes sir! Party of four is it?
Dylan: It is, yes. Uh…. How much for under threes?
Vendor: Under threes are free sir! Oh wait…. you’re Dylan Thomas aren’t ya?
The vendor then looks over at Lissandra and smiles.
Vendor: And Lissandra! You know, my wife loves your work outside of wrestling.
Lissandra: Really? Well that’s so nice! Thank-you!
Vendor: Hey uh guys… could I possibly get a photo for my back wall? Having your interest in the business will really help matters, I think.
Dylan: Well… we are technically here on OCW matters. So… sure, why not?
Dylan passes Lilly over to Bethany who remains out of shot as the boat vendor gets out his phone and snaps a quick photo of Dylan and Lissandra Thomas, with their practised Hollywood smiles and all. The vendor looks immensely happy as the group pay for the trip over the bay and climb in a boat, ready to go. The guy in the boat pulls out and as they near the old prison, the group look up at the huge foreboding rocks above them.
Lissandra: Can you believe that people climbed down those things to swim in the cold water of the bay?
Dylan: Complete with sharks…
Lissandra sighs heavily.
Lissandra: Baby… According to Rob the leopard shark is the most common shark in San Fran bay and they are completely, absolutely harmless to humans. Great Whites very rarely come into the bay.
Dylan: But it has been known to happen Lissie.
Lissandra gets out her phone and googles.
Lissandra: The last shark attack within the San Francisco Bay was in 1959…. It’s 2021, honey…
Dylan smirks at his wife as the boat reaches its destination on Alcatraz Island.
Dylan: Doesn’t mean that it won’t ever happen again sweetness.
We fade out.
=----=----=----=
We fade back in and the gang are taking a stroll around the old, dilapidated prison. They reach the yard first of all. It looks like a building from The Last of Us series of games. Old, run down. Moss growing anywhere and everywhere…...
Lissandra: Oh for God’s Sake!
……..And to top it off? Lissandra manages to step in bird shit. More than likely gull.
Lissandra: These shoes were $1,500!
Dylan: What are you doing wearing $1,500 shoes to Alcatraz prison?!
Lissandra: Well on your phone call to Warden Peters back in LA… you really didn’t give me a lot of chance to change my outfit!
Dylan shakes his head with a smile as Lissandra wipes her shoe in grass nearby, grumbling under her breath.
Lilly: Yack!
Lissandra: Yes, Lilly! Yack!
Dylan: Come on, let’s see what else is around….
The gang make their way towards what looks to have been the main building of the facility – at least one of them anyway. Making their way inside, they come across some holding cells. As with the rest of the prison, they are old, worn down and rusted over. Dylan attempts to open one of the cells and to his surprise it opens up.
Dylan: Lissie get your phone out, babe… it’s promo time!
Lissandra does as Dylan asks as Dylan makes his way into the old cell and shuts the door.
===========================================================
Dylan: So. Let’s see Zybala….I’ve said what I wanted to say about you. Ed Houston? Nah. Peter Vaughn? Why should I waste my breath? Outcast and Brim – Brim especially! I’m here in Alcatraz Prison, San Fran Bay. Does this seem a familiar sight to you boys? If I remember right Outcast, didn’t you come back to GCWA after a long hiatus of spending time locked up behind bars? And Brim! Finally we’ve done our homework on you my man! You’re a former Sanatorium inmate isn’t that right? So the two of you should certainly be familiar with what comes with being in a cage. Well, you know what they say: ‘Spend Enough Time in A Cage and You End Up becoming an Animal.’ Well Brim, I know I haven’t had the… pleasure just yet of dealing with you just yet, but you, like Outcast just seem to me like a fucking rabid dog. Rabid dogs NEED to be put down! So at Quarantined, if I’m locked in there with either one of you, I guess I’m going to have to re-introduce you both to what it means to doing Hard Time, eh?
Dylan smirks, resting his arms on the bars, not removing his eyes from the camera.
Dylan: And speaking of Hard Time….Xavier Woods… Lux! Xavier Lux! You’re having a hard time right now, with some Daddy Issues...isn’t that right? That’s why you’re doing all of this right? To honour your Father’s memory...Who you admitted yourself isn’t dead… So what memory are you even in memoriam of exactly? Whatever it is… it’ll have to wait to after Quarantined. Because I promise you: Things will be different to how they were in GCWA. This time Lux, I’m wiping you and your Father’s legacy from OCW history. After Quarantined…. Xavier ‘Venom’ Lux, will be nothing more than an afterthought! A has been! And finally there’s everyone’s favourite monkey fondler! Curt Canon. Coming back to OCW for what is it? The Fifteenth Billionth time? Curt… we’ve never faced off but it’s you that I’m looking forward to facing most of all. You’ve been in the business a long, long time Curt. I’m not disputing that fact, but don’t you think it’s about time to hang up the boots? Or are you living out your best Michael Corleone fantasy? ‘Just when I thought I was out, they keep pulling me back in!’ Is that it? It hardly matters Canon – because at Quarantined, if I’m in the ring with you, I’ll personally see to it as a favour to you, from me Dylan Thomas that OCW never pull you back in ever again. They won’t need to after all. Not with the Messiah of Perfection on the roster.
Dylan removes his arms from the cell wall and opens the door once again, this time walking towards the camera.
Dylan: The rest of you seven are all itching to get in the ring with me – I know you are. All of you craving the time you’re going to get with me to shut me up. Because each and every one of you are just that little bit butt-hurt over what I’ve been saying as of late. But here is what the rest of you need to understand: Yes…. Some of you have beaten me in the past. But that was then. I’m a new man now. An OCW man – and I’ll be damned if I’m not walking out of Quarantined with gold around my waist! I’m the only man in that match at Quarantined who deserves gold around my waist! I’m not a criminal! I’m not here for space rocket dreams! I don’t have fucking Daddy issues and best of all – best of all OCW faithful – I’m not a janitor! No. I’m a wrestler! A wrestler damnit and come Quarantined when the rest of you are locked in that cage with me, I’m going to show you why OCW’s Perfect Wrestler is walking out with gold! My win at Quarantined is going to be nothing short of Perfection, Personified. That….the Messiah of Perfection can assure all of you.
============================================================
Lissandra cuts the camera off.
Lissandra: I’ll send that to OCW brass later.
Dylan: Good. Hey didn’t they have an electric chair around here somewhere?
The gang go off in search of an electric chair. [What is Dylan’s recent fascination with electric chairs? We may never know]. After taking some time to search the prison for the fabled electric chair, everyone comes up fruitless. The electric chair is seemingly nowhere to be found.
Dylan: Huh. They must have removed it.
Lissandra once again takes out her phone and searches but before she can say anything, Bethany interjects.
Bethany: Actually Mr T… I learned in history class that Alcatraz never actually had an electric chair. Not once.
Dylan: What?
Bethany: In fact, Alcatraz never even executed anybody.
Dylan: You’re kidding?
Bethany shakes her head and Lissandra nods hers.
Lissandra: She’s right. Says so here. Come on. We should head back. I know somebody who’s getting hungry!
Dylan: Actually, you know I could actually eat.
Lissandra rolls her eyes.
Lissandra: I was referring to your daughter!
Everyone makes their way to where the boat that brought them across the bay left them but there is no boat to be found.
Dylan: Hey, what the hell? Where’s the boat?
Lissandra: I’m sure it’s on its way. It probably went back to get another tour of people.
Dylan: Yeah, you’re right.
Dylan flops himself down on the grass outside Alcatraz’s walls as they wait for the boat to arrive again.
Dylan: I hope so, anyway. I don’t fancy tangling up with some great whites.
We fade on Dylan’s face which has a rather nervous look on it. Not that unlike the one that was on his face when we opened the scene. Can our boy emerge from the cage at Quarantined with gold around his waist? He believes he can. I guess you’ll all have to find out at OCW Quarantined on June 20th! One thing’s for sure though, it’ll be a hell of a match!
