***{Emperor Jo}***
Yes sir, I'll make it so. And how will I be paid?

+++{Caller}+++
You'll be paid, one way or another. Just get it done. It's what Cromwell wants.

***{Emperor Jo}***
Righty-o, I'll get on it right away.

=== Emperor Jo hangs up the receiver, then picks it back up and dials a number ===

***{Emperor Jo}***
Hello, yes this is Emperor Jo, I...

:::{Voice}:::
....

***{Emperor Jo}***
Why yes I realize I'm calling on your day off but...

:::{Voice}:::
....

***{Emperor Jo}***
Well I never! I'm calling for Mr Cromwell.

:::{Voice}:::
....

***{Emperor Jo}***
No, he can't call you himself. He's a very busy man and he has many many things to do. But he does have some time this afternoon and he wants to meet with you in his office. About your destruction of his personal property the other day.

:::{Voice}:::
....

***{Emperor Jo}***
Well if that's the way you feel about it, fine. However I have been told to make it clear that if you do not show for the meeting, you will forfeit your and your teammate Pantera's shot at the Tag Team titles.

:::{Voice}:::
....

***{Emperor Jo}***
So we'll expect you in a couple of hours yes?

:::{Voice}:::
....

***{Emperor Jo}***
Well! I'll tell him to expect you in a few hours, but I will certainly not tell him to stuff anything anywhere. Good day, Sir.

=== Emperor Jo Hangs up the phone, picks it up once more and dials another number ===

***{Emperor Jo}***
Yes, hello? He should be leaving the house in a few hours. Did I do OK?

+++{Caller}+++
You did great. I'll be waiting there when he leaves. Tell Cromwell everything is in place and to give you a bonus. Bye.

=== Emperor Jo hangs up the phone and smiles to himself ===

=== The scene cuts to a camera shot of a house. A woman exits a limo and goes into the house. The person carrying the camera slowly approaches the back door. A hand is seen reaching out and knocking on the door. The woman answers and it's Mandy, Mr Anderson's ring escort ===

<<<{Mandy}>>>
What are you doing here? It's been a long time. Tommy's not here right now.

~~~{Voice}~~~
I know. That's why I'm here. He called and said something about Cromwell demanding a meeting or suspending him if he didn't come. And he told me that someone had been following you, and he wanted me to come pick you up, make sure someone was watching your back.

<<<{Mandy}>>>
That's so sweet! But why bring a RAW camera crew with you?

~~~{Voice}~~~
Tommy wanted me to pick you up, then we're gonna go hook up with him and cut a promo. You know, I got his back and we're not gonna tolerate this shit. Stuff like that. Afterwards we're gonna go get some dinner and catch up on old times.

<<<{Mandy}>>>
That sound s like fun. Let me get my purse and lock up. Hold on one sec, OK?

~~~{Voice}~~~
OK.

=== Mandy comes out of the house and they start to walk towards the driveway and past the limo and towards a black Hummer parked on the street ===

<<<{Mandy}>>>
Aren't we going in the limo?

~~~{Voice}~~~
I thought a ride in the Hummer might be nice for a change, if you don't mind. The top's on, so your hair should be all right.

<<<{Mandy}>>>
OK. Sounds like fun. I guess it was you who Tommy called the other day, to watch his back.

~~~{Voice}~~~
Huh? Oh yeah, you know me, always willing to help. Here, let me open that door for you. There you go.

<<<{Mandy}>>>
Still the gentleman, I see.

~~~{Voice}~~~
Anything for the ladies of one of my friends. Camera guys, in your van till we get to the arena. You can follow us there.

=== The scene cuts to static... ===
