The scene is a desert strip, the camera pans all around to reveal the rocky mountains around the area. It comes in closer to reveal the dried up shrubbery and a long sand covered strip. As the camera zooms in more, we can see a car coming down the road. The camera suddenly pans around the car, first revealing the grill, smoke blowing from the hood, before panning around and showing the old beat up Chevelle. It pans around back where one tail light is out and the licence plate reads " LIGHTS ". Suddenly the camera goes to inside the car to where we can see Jordan Lights is the driver.
Jordan : I have to find him, I'll be better off after.
Jordan suddenly slows down as a man on the side of the road, with a bag draped over his shoulder. He stops approximately 5 feet from the man and waves his arm out the window for the man to get in. The man is none other then Leon Kensworth. Leon gets in the car , brushing the sand off his shoulders and pants.
Leon : Why'd you have to pick me up in the desert? Why not in the city?
Jordan : When I had called you I had already began my trip. I was 5 miles out of the nearest city and was not about to turn around. Sorry big guy.
Leon : I guess it's alright. Anyway, why'd you want to have me come along for this? Why not Max?
Jordan : Max is like a brother to me, but I don't if I could handle him coming along for this.
Leon : For this? What exactly is this, and why are we in Phoenix, Arizona?
Jordan : I'll tell you when we reach the next city.
The camera pans out as the car continues driving.
****************************
The scene resumes with Jordan and Leon stopped at a convenience store. Leon is pumping gas while Jordan looks on a map.
Jordan : We are just outside of Salt Lake City right?
Leon : I believe so.
Jordan : Okay, so we've traveled 508 miles, and we've got about 500 more miles to go.
Leon : Where are we going Jordan?
Jordan : You'll find out soon enough. I'll go pay for the gas and then we'll get back on the road.
Leon : Yeah, okay, but I'm driving, you look way too tired.
The camera pans out again as the beat up Chevelle pulls out of the gas station and enters back onto the highway.
**********************************
The camera resumes again, this time on the highway, possibly somewhere in Northern California. Suddenly the car pulls over to a screeching hault. Jordan was asleep but suddenly awakens.
Jordan : Why the hell did you stop?
Leon : Where the hell are we going Jordan? I've got a wife at home God Damnit! I can't just be travelling on road trips between shows just because YOU wanted me here.
Jordan : Get your ass out of the car now.
Jordan gets out of the car, slamming the door. Leon gets out, also slamming his door.
Leon : We are travelling in an old beat down piece of crap car. I have no clue where we are going.
Suddenly Jordan grabs Leon and shoves him against the door, grabbing him by the shirt collar.
Jordan : You want to know so badly where we are going? Huh? Do ya?
Leon : Yes. I want to know. I need to know.
Jordan releases his grip on Leon and begins to walk back around the car. As he slowly gets back in the car. As he does so we can hear him talking.
Jordan : We are going to find my father.
Leon has a look of surprise on his face as he enters back into the car, adjusting his shirt and tie before getting back behind the wheel as the camera cuts again.
*****************
The scene resumes as Jordan is now driving. They are about to enter Portland when finally the silence that has been going on for miles is broken.
Jordan : At first Leon, I didn't want you here, let alone anyone else. Then I just decided to bring you, as everyone else seems to bring you along on their adventures. Why not add another one to the book we all know you are working on.
Leon : Thanks Jordan, I'm sorry I pushed you into spilling the beans.
The car suddenly stops and parks.
Jordan : This is the place Leon. I want you to stay here, as this may get violent.
Jordan gets out of the car, and walks up to the door of what appears to be an apartment building. He enters and climbs four flights of stairs, going to the last door on the left. The number reads 4H and the name below the door reads " LIGHTS ". He bangs on the door , and there is no answer. He bangs on the door yet again, when finally it creeks open, and a man who appears to be in his 60s opens the door. The man is about 5'10" with a full grey beard and grey hair.
Man : How....how can I help you boy?
Jordan : Are you....Johnny Lights?
Man : Yes.....what did......what did you need?
Jordan : It's me....it's Jordan....your son.
Suddenly the door slams shut. But just before it closes, Jordan kicks it back open. The man is now nowhere to be seen, but we can hear crying. Jordan walks around, seeing how messy and unsanitary the apartment is. Hundreds of empty beer bottles laying everywhere. The man is on the floor in what appears to be a living room, crying.
Jordan : Don't ignore me. I won't let you ignore me anymore. Get up and face me like a man dad.
The man doesn't say anything, he just continues to cry.
Jordan : Why'd you leave? Did you even know about me?
Suddenly the man gets off his knees and stops crying and sits down on the couch.
Mr. Lights : Yes I knew about you. You, however, aren't the reason I left. I left because of your mother and her addiction.
Jordan : YOU LIE!! TELL ME THE TRUTH!!
Mr. Lights : Okay, I left because I was afraid Jordan. I had no job and your mother had just had birth. I had no way of supporting either of you, so I left. I ran away. Are you happy now?
Jordan : Do you have any idea what we went through? My mother, YOUR WIFE, became a drug addict. Her drug dealer boyfriends, they constantly abused me. I ran away from home at the age of 17 and began fighting on the streets, constantly getting in trouble.
Mr. Lights : And how is your mother now? How are you not in jail?
Jordan : She's dead. She passed away six years ago due to the addictions she had due to you not being around. And how DARE you imply I should be in imprison!!
Jordan picks up a beer bottle and throws it at the wall, where it smashes into pieces.
Jordan : You don't care about me!! You never have, and you never will. How DARE you insinuate that I should be in prison , rotting in a jail cell. I was the way I was because of you. If you really want to know though, I took up wrestling. One day I was fighting, and this man, Greg Chambers, stopped me. He told me about how I could put my skills to better use, so I began wrestling in a ring, rather then fighting in the street. I always knew you loved wrestling, so I figured maybe that'd be the one thing that would draw your attention.
Jordan decides pulls a chair up and has a seat.
Jordan : I am a part of the best wrestling company in the world, WZCW. Currently I am in a tag team named Heavy Artillery, with a man named Max Karz---
Mr. Lights : Max Karzai? Isn't he a famous rocker?
Jordan : Yeah, he decided to try his hand at wrestling and we've been friends ever since. But that's besides the point. We recently just wrestled in a three way match for the tag team championships and lost. However, we have a rematch coming up, a rematch we are going to win.
Suddenly there's a rustling noise in the hall, as Leon Kensworth stumbles in.
Jordan : I thought I told you to stay outside?
Leon : I couldn't help it, I had to come in. Is that....is that your father?
Jordan : Yes, and we are kind of the middle of something, so just don't say anything else.
Mr. Lights : You must be Leon Kensworth, I've seen you on television back in the day, before you ever were an interviewer.
Leon : Yes I am Leon Kensworth, I've been tagging along this road trip with your son.
Jordan : Anyway, so we have a rematch coming up. And I know my partner and I are going to win the match. We've been putting the tag team division on the map. However, the champions, who have become a bit of a rival for us, are doing everything they can to retain their gold. In the next match though, there is no where for them to run. On that night there will be new tag team champions and if you care at all, maybe you will watch it on television.
Jordan gets up and walks away as Leon gets up to follow.
Leon : Nice meeting you Mr. Li---
Jordan comes back and grabs Leon by the shoulder. They go downstairs and out to the car.
Jordan : That was easier then I expected. I feel relieved. Now it's onto Ascension and those tag team championships are as good as Heavy Artillery's!!!
Leon : That's good to hear, are you sure you're ready though?
Jordan : There isn't a doubt in my mind that Teach and Kurtesy will bring their A game like they did at Kingdom Come. The only difference is, we are too, and there are no other teams in the ring with us this time. There's no way we will lose.
The camera fades out to them driving off down the highway, when suddenly the car breaks down. We hear some more conversation.
Leon : I told you the car was a bucket of bolts.
Jordan : Get out and start pushing buddy, we've got a long way until we get to a gas station. I told you not to badmouth my car.
P.S. - LEE GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SHOVE LEON AS I DID
