48 Hours - No, not the movie

(Scene opens in the Mean Hotel. We are at the Wilburman's room. The 48-hour deadline has passed. The phone in his room is going off. But is unanswered. The view scans around the place and we see the Mean One clutching himself into a small ball in the corner of his study. The phone is still ringing, no doubt it is from the Prez herself, wanting to know of Wilburman's progress in searching the Mean Lady. As the phone continues to ring we go for some time-travel to see just what had happened in the last 48 hours.)

(Time travel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DING!! 48 hours earlier.)

(Scene opens in the function hall of the Mean Hotel. A team of the country's top PI has been assembled by the Mean One. His order is simple. Find Emerald Empress. His only clues: The note he received from Sunday Sacrifice, and a security video of the arena that evening. They had gone through the video numerous times already. But they did not find anything suspicious. Until now. They noticed a figure had approached the Wilburman's room and had casually dropped the aforementioned note on the locker room door. It didn't catch anyone's attention until they realised that this man's face was very elusive. He had managed to escape every security camera. Each time he did appear on the camera, his face was turned away.)

PI # 1: This man was well prepared. He knows of the camera's positions, and he certainly knows the arena routes.

PI # 2: Possibly an inside job.

(Wilburman was startled by that last comment. "An inside job"? He was really puzzled and mad now.)

W: Well ladies and gentlemen, you have the only clues I can give you, your brief is now set. You have 48 hours. Please find my wife.

(The team of PI make their own ways and go in search for the Empress. The little St. Barnard appears and hops onto Wilburman's lap. Wilburman pets the cute animal and takes a huge sigh.)

W: I miss her, you know?

"AOU-AOU!!"

(Time travel to 24 hours now.)

(Scene opens in Wilburman's apartment. His face hasn't been shaved. His hair is a mess. Heck, he's even lost a few pounds. There's a knock on the door and in walks Mike the manager.)

M: Will? You here?

W: Aye, is there any news?

M: You better come down and check for yourself.

(Wilburman rushes off his feet and the two of them make their way to the main function hall of the hotel. They are met by one of the PIs and he briefs the Mean One on his findings.)

PI: Hi Wilburman, the name is Matgum. I am one of your PIs on the case.

W: Mr Matgum, you will excuse me if I just ask you what is the latest.

PI: I believe I may have found your wife. It would appear that she is held in some sort of warehouse in the south side of the city.

W: Did you see her?!!

PI: No, I only received word from my sources 20 mins ago.

W: Take me there. NOW!

(They make their way from the hotel and they head into a mini van and PI Matgum drives Wilburman to this warehouse. Wilburman by now is just hoping that he is not too late.

They arrive and as they were about to enter the warehouse, the PI hands a small handgun over to the Mean One. Wilburman stares blankly at the gun before taking it from the PI's hand. They enter the warehouse and they find the place completely empty. They see a wooden chair in the middle of the deserted warehouse, with a spotlight shining onto it. The two of them approach the wooden chair. There are ropes dangling from the seating, as well as some bloodstains on the rope and the floor. They see a note on the chair and Wilburman picks it up and reads)

Nice try Wil, better luck next time.

(A tear drops from the corner of Wilburman's eye as he shouts out in anger and frustration)

"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

(Wilburman fires a couple of gun shots into the roof of the building, as the cry of frustration and the gun shots echo within the empty warehouse, we take another time travel)

(Time travel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DING! Back to the future... or present...)

(We are back at the start of the RP. The Wilburman is still crawled up into a small ball in the corner of his room. The door knocks and Mike the manager walks in. The phone is still ringing. Mike goes to answer the phone.)

"Hello? Erm, sorry, I can't see him here just now... uh huh... ok, I will let him know you called."

(Mike hangs up the phone and searches the room for the Mean One. He finds him in the corner and as Wilburman looks up, Mike notices that Wilburman desparetely needs some sleep. His eyes are blood red and his face is badly needing a shave. Simply put, Wilburman is a wreck.)

M: My god Wil!! Look at you!! You-- you are a mess!!

W: Your point? (sigh) Who was that then?

M: That was your IWA Prez, she said that if you want, she could pull you from the shows to give you some rest.

(Wilburman just sits on the carpeted floor, motionless. Mike just shakes his head.)

M: Wil, you should really get some sleep.

W: HOW CAN I?!!

(As Wilburman screams at his loyal manager, a bellboy knocks on the door.)

B: Er... pardon me sir, but there's some camera people from IWA downstairs...

M: Tell them this is not a good time.

W: WAIT!! I will be down in 15 mins.

M: Wil!! You need rest!

W: Mike, I can't sleep, and sure as hell, I got to keep my promise. I promised Amy last week that I would do both shows, I fulfilled last week's obligations, and I will fulfil this week's as well.

M: (sigh) Your choice.

(As Wilburman heads down to the lobby, Mike the manager shakes his head in disapproval, but alias, there was nothing he could have done.

Wilburman sees Tom Prince with the camera crew, as Tom approaches the Mean One, he is shoved aside as Wilburman goes up to the camera crew.)

W: Just switch the damn thing on and point it at my face.

(The camera crew nods their heads and begin filming.)

W: This Sunday, the Wilburman has been booked into a 4 way dance for the right to kick Chamber's butt. And already my friends have cut their promos and began their training. Well, the Wilburman will now cut my promo. Now, I heard what Cyril has said, and I agree with every damn word he has said, if I pin him, I will shake his hand, if he pins me, I will still shake his hand, cause no matter what pansy stipulation Chamber suggested, at the end of the day, the Mean and Mad Alliance lives on.

(Wilburman chokes on his last words "lives on". A tear drops as Wilburman's blood red eyes refocuses back to the camera.)

W: And Nightstalker, I hear you mumble some utter crap about how I carried the Mean and Mad Alliance, well, you dude, must have had your head up your scarey mysterious arse when Mad Cyril delivered the Stretford Ender to lift the tag straps for us. And you tell some pathetic jibberish about how you will become World champ and ruler, well the Wilburman says WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SHIT COMING OUT YOUR MOUTH!! And although Billy hasn't said anything yet, I am pretty sure when he comes out, he will also talk some crap on how he will walk out victorious and go and beat up Chamber. Well...

(Wilburman pauses to try to hold back the tears)

W: Well, that is all fine and dandy, you can come out and say whatever the hell you want, but just don't say that the Wilburman is out there to win the match. Cause I ain't. In case you haven't noticed, I am very VERY much pissed. And on Sunday night, I have no intention to enter the ring to win, oh hell no, I will enter the ring and just so simply beat everyone up cause I am just THAT pissed!! I also heard rumors of Chamber being the special guest ref, well the Wilburman says WHOOPIE-DEE!! The more the merrier. So to steal a line from the Rock, The Mean One says this to each and every single one of yous all out there.

Just Bring It.

I am in a foul mood, and I don't care if you beat me into a bloody pulp, cause if you don't, I won't stand there and say thanks, I will unleash a mean mean beating on you, and believe me, I WILL. Beware of the Mean Champion of Justice. And remember, Justice is blind, and I aim to unleash some anger.

(Wilburman was about to finish before turning back to the camera)

W: Carrie, I know you can hear me, just hang in there.

(Wilburman leaves the room as he could no longer hold back the tears. Tom and the camera crew shake their heads in disbelieve and they head back to the IWA Head office to report to the Prez.

Scene fades out.)
