: The scene opens in the lobby of the Exile Hotel. Staff are busy doing staff stuff. Cleaning, checking people in and out, carrying bags for people; staff stuff. Suddenly the front doors slam open and a disheveled looking Aaron rushes in. He has terror in his eyes as he runs up to the front desk. The few clerks look at him and are about to question him when he starts rambling. :
Aaron: You guys gotta help me! Zybala has gone nuts! He started rambling on about how I betrayed him like Vaughn did! He tried throwing me in a fire where he was burning monkeys and people! He chased me to the tool shed and tried to corner me! He grabbed an axe and swung at me with it! He missed and I dived out the window. You gotta help me!
: Aaron's eyes dart back and forth as the two behind the counter look nervously at each other. One of them, who is wearing a "Terry" name tag, leans forward and grabs Aaron's hand; causing the panicked man to flinch. :
Terry: Newbie, calm down. Now listen, I have just one question. Did he call you "Vaughn"?
Aaron: What do you mean?
Terry: While chasing you, did Zybala call you by Peter Vaughn's name?
Aaron: What? Shit, I don't know, maybe? I think he did, or he could have just been comparing me to him. Maybe…
: As Aaron rambles on, Terry and the other worker, Lindsay, exchange a look. They take off their name tags and put on ones that are roughly three times bigger than normal with their names in big, bold lettering. Aaron stops babbling and is about to question this when Terry grabs a microphone and flips a switch on a console. :
Terry: Attention Staff and Guests of Exile Hotel. This is an important announcement. The guests must make sure they are not wearing anything that can be misconstrued as an employee uniform immediately. This is for your safety. To the staff, rule 7 in the employee special rules is now in effect. Godspeed everyone. Also, don't forget that the card house building contest in the gymnasium is happening in an hour with special guest judge Chad Vargas!! First place gets an all expenses paid vacation for four to the OCW Amusement Park! Again, that's in one hour.
: Terry shuts off the intercom and places the microphone down. Aaron is about to ask more questions when the front door flies open again. A sweaty Zybala holding an axe runs in. The nearby guests don't even bat an eye; another typical scene for Exile. Aaron takes off running. Lucky for him, Zybala was looking in a different direction. Zybala goes up to the front desk with a manic look on his face. He eyeballs the employees. :
Zybala: Peter?!?
Terry: No sir. Terry and Lindsay. Peter was here, but he ran off.
Zybala: Probably plotting more betrayal. That sneaky bastard! Which way did he go?!
Terry: I believe he was heading for the stairs. Shall I get you your chasing jacket from the office??
Zybala: Why yes. Thank you, Terry. That would be lovely.
: It's almost comical how Zybala's demeanor changes when not near "Peter." Terry leaves the deal and returns a few minutes later holding a dark red jacket very similar to Jack Torrence's from "The Shining" movie. Zybala puts down the axe and puts on the jacket. He smiles at Terry as he picks up the axe again. :
Zybala: Thank you, Terry. Have a good shift. I'm off to give Peter his medicine. Can you believe he actually wanted this? He called me out and expected there not be consequences.
Terry: No I can't. It does seem rather foolish. Well, happy hunting.
: Zybala gives a nod at his faithful employee and turns towards the stairs. He climbs them to the second floor and starts shouting for "Peter" to come out and quit hiding.
Zybala: PETER! RUNNING AND HIDING WON'T HELP! YOU ALWAYS HID FROM OUR TRAINING, BUT IT NEVER WORKED!!! I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU! QUIT LETTING BARROWS TRY TO GET OTHERS TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES!! I DIDN'T TRAIN A COWARD!! YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORANGUTANS! THATS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR ALLIES!! FACE ME LIKE A MAN!!
: Zybala turns a corner and stops dead in his tracks. In the middle of the hall are twin blonde young girls in white dresses holding hands. They look right at Zybala and speak in unison. :
Twins: Come play with us Zybala. Come play forever and ever.
: Before Zybala can answer, a nearby door opens. Out walks a middle aged blonde man. He looks at the girls, then at Zybala and shakes his head. :
Man: Girls! I told you to knock it off with The Shining bullshit. Get in the room and get changed. We're meeting you cousins at the pull in ten minutes.
: The twins let out a cheer and run back into the room. Their dad looks apologetically at Zybala, not even acknowledging the axe. He obviously has been to the Hotel before, or knows how Zybala is. :
Man: Sorry about that, Mr. Zybala. They saw The Shining over the quarantine and now they do that routine every time we go on vacation.
Zybala: It's no problem at all. Say, you're not hiding Peter Vaughn in your room, are you? He called me out and now is trying to hide behind other people to protect him. (lifts up axe) I gotta teach him a lesson.
Man: Can't say that I've seen you guy. Sorry.
Zybala: Oh well. Well, have fun at the pool and enjoy your stay at Exile Hotel.
: Zybala flashes him a smile before shuffling down the hallway again, screaming Vaughn's name. He searches the entire second floor, using his master key card to go in every room, and apologizing to every guest he disturbs. He is about to climb the stairs when he glances downward. He spots Aaron and smiles savagely. Zybala let's out a shout as he runs down the stairs. Aaron spots him and takes off running again. Zybala runs after him and the chase is on. They run through the hotel and Aaron runs through a set of double doors. Zybala charges through the door and steps into a gymnasium.
The previously announced card house building contest is in full swing. We see people building everything from the basic of card houses to more elaborate constructions. Zybala walks by these people building up the cards, giving compliments and words of encouragement to various people he passes. He also asks if they have seen "Peter." Nobody has as they have been trying to win that trip. Zybala is stalking by the tables when something hits him hard in the back! He stumbles forward, almost knocking over a nearby house of cards. He turns around and sees Aaron holding a ladder, probably to keep Zybala at a distance. Zybala starts chuckling. :
Zybala: Silly Peter. We can't have our ladder match here. We have to wait for House of Cards. I know that there are a bunch of those here, but it's just a coincidence. Now how about you put down the ladder and we can talk about you betraying me and everything I've done for you.
Aaron: I'm not Peter, you fucking lunatic! If this is how you treated Peter, it's no wonder he betrayed you for Barrows!
Zybala: You ungrateful asshole!! I treated you with nothing but respect and friendship! Yes, my training methods were a little unconventional and dangerous, but you survived it. You became better than you were. I made you a wrestling machine! It's thanks to MY training that you became a three time Outsiders champ! Barrows didn't do shit! He wanted to fire you! I saved your job! I made you a household name! I gave you back your PRIDE! And you repay me by not only gathering an army to take me out and end my career, with hopes of ending my life?! Well, you get your chance. Here I am! I'm not only going to take your Craze Title, but take everything I gave you. When I get done with you, you'll be lucky to even be hired back as a janitor! If you even make it to House of Cards!
: Zybala then raises the axe high and swings! Aaron lifts the ladder to block and the two clash! The ladder however breaks into many pieces and the axe gets stuck in the floor. Zybala looks at the broken ladder pieces and laughs. :
Zybala: Looks like you've made another poor choice by picking up a hazardous ladder. Add that to the other extremely poor choices you've made lately. Like teaming with Barrows and trying to go against me. You've never been able to beat me and you never will. Barrows can't help you, Duke can't help you, nobody can help you! If I have to destroy everyone else to get to you, I will. You will be my first title win! You will be my first pay-per-view win since nearly killing Bob Grenier at Lost At Sea! I'm going to teach you the last lesson of your training from me. Never FUCK with Mike Zybala!!!
: With that, Zybala releases the axe handle and runs at Aaron. Zybala is within reach when he suddenly gets tackled to the floor! He looks up at his assailant and sees Terry! Anger flashes over Zybala's face. He is about to go after Terry, who only points towards Aaron. Zybala looks and sees Aaron putting on his own huge nametag, given to him from Lindsay. Seeing the name tag seems to knock Zybala out of his mania. Or maybe he's just really bipolar. Terry gets off of Zybala and helps him up. Zybala looks at the crowd who stopped building their card houses to watch the madness. Zybala waves a hand in the air. :
Zybala: Sorry about that, everybody. Just had a little bit of an episode. The houses look great by the way. Good luck to you all. (he turns to Aaron) Sorry about that, chief. I guess Vaughn is getting in my head more than I'd like to admit. It's just so frustrating When you spend all that time training a person and building up their career, loving them like a brother, just to have them stab you in the back. It's bound to make one go a little crazy every now and then. I promise to keep all of that anger and frustration bottled up deep inside and not take it out on you guys, or my wife. That's because she knows where all the sharp objects in the house are and I'm a heavy sleeper hahaha. Anyways Aaron, how about you take the next few days off, all paid for of course. Once again, I'm sorry for that little chase. Lindsay, can you please help Aaron to his room?
: Lindsay wraps her arm around a shell shocked Aaron's shoulders and leads him out of the gymnasium. Zybala then goes to look at the various card houses and Terry calls the custodial staff to clean up broken ladder and get the axe out of the floor. We then see Chad Vargas with a clipboard looking at the card houses while making notes on his clipboard. He stops at one table and looks at the house being built. It is an epic replica of the OCW Arena!! The person who built it stands next to it proudly. Anger contorts over Vargas' face as he shouts "Weak-Ass Non Hiring Assholes!" He then kicks over the table, sending cards flying everywhere as the scene fades to black! :
