The scene opens as we see Kara “Killer” Carter sitting alone drinking a bottle of beer, she leans back in her chair and looks up at the ceiling, letting out an elongated sigh as the door to the room she’s in opens and in walks her fellow Shieldmaiden sister and tag team partner, Jackie “Bandit” Layton.
Bandit
Place’s has been a madhouse lately…
Killer looks over at Bandit, who takes a seat beside her, and the behemoth nods before taking another drink.
Killer
Yup…
Bandit
I hope the others find somebody to sit with Jenni, she didn’t sound so good this morning.
Killer clenches her fist as she has another drink.
Killer
She shouldn’t be going through this, Jack. Jackson should still be alive right now. But thanks to those fucking assholes I call parents, that’s no longer the case!
Bandit nods slowly.
Bandit
Yeah, but it’s a reality we've all got to face here.
Killer
I know. I just want it to be over. I want those fuckers either behind bars or dead… preferably the latter. They were never my parents, and never fucking will be.
Bandit nods slowly.
Bandit
I know, I get it, I do, but you need to…
The behemoth quickly cuts her off by raising her hand.
Killer
Yeah, Jack, I know! I’ve gotta control my anger!
Killer gets to her feet and finishes off her beer before grabbing another one and opening with a bottle opener attached to the chain hanging from her jeans. Turning back to Bandit, she outstretches her arms.
Killer
I thought you of all people would understand how I feel considering you’ve been through similar shit, Jack! All the other Maidens? They don’t know what it’s like having parents who don’t give a shit about them! Even Sorsh and Eef, despite the fact their father ain’t too pleased with their choice of partners, at least they still give a shit.
She shakes her head while taking a glug of beer. Bandit nods slowly.
Bandit
I do, my sperm donor never cared about any of us. He pretended for the public and then decided that wasn’t worth it anymore when I was twelve. Tommie, Tammy, Ainsley, Moira, Maisie, Catrìona, they never even got to meet him. The piece of shit was more interested in where his next blowjob was coming from than any of us. Corrie and I got to meet him, but I can’t say we ever got to know the fucker. When he got sick and was on his seemingly never-ending deathbed, I felt exactly like what you just said. I wanted it to be over and every day I woke up almost hoping to finally get that phone call even though I knew what it meant and I knew how bad it would hurt poor Sheldon and my mom. That’s why I’m not saying this as Bandit, longer standing full patch in the Maidens, I’m not saying it as your tag team partner who’s been champion in a team as many times as I have as much as I have, I’m saying this as Jackie, your soon-to-be in-law…
She pauses and then smirks almost playfully.
Bandit
And because Ale knows if she says, “calmate” to you one more time, you’ll never listen to her again.
This manages to get a smirk from Killer as she sits back down next to Bandit. After a moment of silence, the behemoth turns to her soon-to-be sister-in-law with a serious expression on her face.
Killer
Ale really feels that way?
Killer sighs.
Killer
I don’t blame her. I know I haven’t exactly been the funnest person to be around lately due to all of this shit that’s going on. I know that I need to control my anger better… I want to… after that whole mess that landed me in jail overnight when I headbutted that dumbass who works for my parents? I felt so guilty when I got out… not because of what I did to that scumbag… but because I could have fucked up Tori’s chance of ever seeing Rose again. I just… I don’t know how to control my anger...
Bandit shrugs.
Bandit
I think Ale’s just worried she’s said it so much that if she keeps saying it, there’s a danger you’ll tune her out whether you mean to or not.
Killer nods.
Killer
Maybe I should talk to her. I mean, she’s my future wife’s older sister. She’s my family… family going far beyond the Shieldmaidens. I don’t ever want her to feel like she can’t be there for me… I need to get my shit straight.
Bandit smiles.
Bandit
She loves you, Kara. She just doesn’t want you to end up in a bad way knowing she could have done something to prevent it. Family takes care of each other like that.
Now it’s Killer’s turn to smile as she nods.
Killer
Yeah, I know. I love her too. I had never believed in love at first sight until I saw Gabs for the first time at Twisted Steel. It was like I knew she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with the moment I saw her.
Bandit can’t help but smirk again.
Bandit
She was the same way. She could not stop talking about you then…
The smile fades slightly.
Bandit
And of course, we have to try and contain her anger at the moment as well. She wants to be fighting alongside us again so bad…
Killer
Yeah. She’s tough and she’ll get there. I’m doing my best to help lift her spirits but it’s tough. I come back from work and if I’ve been successful… I wanna share that with her and even though I know she’s happy for me, I can tell she wishes she was back in the ring too.
Bandit nods, almost laughing.
Bandit
Patience has never been one of her strong suits. She’s more like Cisco that way than Ale or Gata.
Killer
No wonder we’re perfect for each other.
The behemoth then finishes off her second beer.
Killer
I should go and have a chat with Ale… and let’s say we meet back here later and deal with our opponents this Sunday?
Bandit nods, smirking playfully all over again.
Bandit
Sounds like a plan, she’s downstairs watching the forlorn prospects trying to clean up after last night.
Killer gets back to her feet again and nods.
Killer
Alright thanks… catch you later, Jack…
The behemoth pats Bandit on the arm before leaving the room as the scene fades.

On Camera
The scene re-opens as we find Bandit sitting in front of the camera and then Killer comes into the shot and takes a seat beside her, both with their MHW Tag Team titles proudly resting over their shoulders. After a moment of silence between the two, Killer turns to Bandit with a raised eyebrow.
Killer
So did you understand a fucking word those two were saying about us, Jack?
Bandit shrugs.
Bandit
With all the accents we have?
Killer
True. But I guess I’ve been around the Shieldmaidens long enough to get used to them. But that’s besides the point…
Killer turns her attention back to the camera.
Killer
Second City Riot Squad? You have the audacity… to come into our house and run your mouth about how WE stuck our noses in YOUR business?!
The behemoth shakes her head.
Killer
Nah! See… there’s one important thing you need to know about us Shieldmaidens! And that is that we don’t need to stick our noses into our other sisters’ matches to help them win, because we’re good enough to get the fucking job done on our own! The reason why Jack and I got involved in the Main Event at Mile High Spectacular 3 is because you two stupid fucks knew that Krigare was about to shock the fucking world and dethrone the so-called “queen” so you decided to get involved yourselves!
Bandit
Maybe they’re still pissed about Gallus Mag in NFW, though, you’d think those Trios Championships they won would have taken the sting out of that or…
She shrugs.
Bandit
Maybe they have a point because clearly none of their group ever goes working anywhere else or…
She trails off and then nods to herself.
Bandit
Oh wait, they do that all the time, right, so is there a way they could have a point?
Killer shakes her head.
Killer
No, they don’t have a point. They’re just like every other fucking tag team or group that show up in whatever company any of us Shieldmaidens are in and they immediately pick a fight with us because they’re either jealous that wherever we go, we make a name for ourselves and end up running the place… or they’re just plain fucking stupid!
Bandit smirks.
Bandit
At least Leah picked people to watch her back this time that won’t cut and run at the first sign of trouble like the revolving door that was the Coven, or like what happened with Skrabz and the Toll Gang.
Killer nods as she folds her tree trunk like arms across her broad chest.
Killer
Yeah, see… I don’t understand how these people don’t seem to learn that no matter what gets thrown at us, nothing keeps us down forever. See… we’re different from every other fucking tag team and group out there! Other tag teams and groups? Eventually… they’ll split up for whatever reason and move on. But us? The Shieldmaidens? We aren’t just together at work! We’re together all the fucking time! We have a bond that goes far beyond wrestling! A bond that goes so far that we would literally die for each other! So you may be able to beat us in matches here and there… but no matter what you try and do? The only way you’re ever going to get rid of us permanently? Is by killing us!
Bandit almost laughs.
Bandit
You know they’re going to claim we just gave them an idea?
She ponders this for a second and then nods.
Bandit
And… technically, wouldn’t that be gimmick infringement on Solomon Grund… I mean Cain?
Killer rolls her eyes at the mention of his name.
Killer
You mean the “big bad scary” dude who got his panties all in a fucking twist just because we started using the theme song he USED to use? Jesus Christ! That’s really gonna help him look like a badass monster!
Bandit nods.
Bandit
Yeah, but he used to be in a group with Leah. Can you imagine how pissed he’ll be if he finds an excuse to accuse her of stealing an idea because the SCRS attempted to promote us to full dead and he thinks it’s just us all collaborating to steal his attention whore move of being dead?
Killer shrugs.
Killer
He can be as pissed off as he wants to be, I don’t fucking care. He doesn’t scare me. And neither do SCRS. Just because they’re affiliated with Leah, who also doesn’t scare me, that doesn’t mean shit to me. All I care about right now when it comes to business here in Mile High is showing this tag team division, no matter how lacking it may be… no matter how bad SCRS thinks it may be… that we, The Wild Hunt… we run this division. We are the top of the fucking food chain and we have proven that every single time we have stepped into that ring. We are undefeated… and if you two…
Killer points to the camera.
Killer
Yeah, I’m talking to you two, Coffey and Diaz! If you two really want to prove yourselves within this division? Then you’re going to need to climb down off that fucking high horse you’re on and take us fucking seriously! Because you can say all you want about how we’re so dumb because of the bleach in our hair has affected our brains like a couple of fucking pathetic high school kids! But the fact is that we are the team to beat here in Mile High and we are NOT to be underestimated!
Bandit starts to say something and then catches herself.
Bandit
You know, I expected better than shit like that from you two. You're champions somewhere else. Leah is the fucking world champion here. She’s been around long enough to have seen us in multiple places and so have you. You know better than to reduce yourselves to the kind of bullshit that Chris Mosh would go with while trying to impress the actually cool kids he desperately wants to accept him into their clique so he’s not just the miserable excuse of a failure that he truly has been while pissing away whatever talent he once had by not bothering to actually try! You two, that’s beneath you and you should be fucking ashamed you lowered yourselves to that! Do better!
Killer
I couldn’t have said it better myself, Jack! See, this sport? It means everything to us! It means everything to our fellow Shieldmaiden sisters! So nothing pisses us off more than when people like you come into it and not only try and shit all over everything we’ve accomplished but to also treat this sport with disrespect! And that will ultimately result in your downfall come Sunday… coz we ain’t coming to play! Oh no! We’re coming to further solidify ourselves as the best tag team in Mile High Wrestling!
Bandit nods.
Bandit
So let’s start a riot… because The Hunt is on!
Killer and Bandit then remove their titles from over their shoulders and clink them together before the scene fades.
