We open up to find Kara “Killer” Carter, Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal, Alex “Bullet” Carbajal, Jackie “Bandit” Layton, Molly “Mox” Kenyon, Tori Carter and Jenni Taylor all working together to clean up the damage done to the club after Hurricane Ida. Bullet and Taza are busy removing any remaining debris while Mox and Tori are wiping down dirty surfaces and Killer, Bandit and Jenni are sweeping up, whether it’s sweeping away any remaining water or whether it’s just dirt. After a few moments, Killer glances over to Jenni as she stops sweeping.
Killer
Hey Jenni? I just wanna say thanks for helping us out with this. You honestly didn’t need to.
Pausing for what seems like an age, Jenni eventually shrugs almost absently.
Jenni
I needed something to do that was not simply wasting away with a beverage.
Killer glances over to Bandit briefly with a slight look of concern on her face before turning her attention back to Jenni.
Killer
Well we’re happy to have you here, and you’ll always have us by your side no matter what, ain’t that right, Jack?
Bandit looks up from her broom and nods.
Bandit
You know it!
Jenni sighs heavily.
Jenni
Sorry about that, it’s just I haven’t wrestled in nearly a year’s time now and without that I have nothing to occupy myself with.
Killer
We understand. I mean, I can’t speak from experience but considering how much I love this industry, if I ever found myself not wrestling for a long period for whatever reason? It’d drive me insane.
Just as Killer finishes her sentence, Becca “Bruiser” Maguire arrives on the scene followed by Matt Robinson.
Bruiser
Lasses? Robinson is here. Lad says he’s got some fuckin’ news for ya’ll.
Everybody looks up.
Taza
¿Es la verdad?
Robinson looks around the club briefly and smiles.
Matt
Well first of all, it’s great to see this place is still standing after the hurricane. But yeah, there’s a police officer on his way here, Officer Liam Dunne, who has some big news for you all. And don’t worry, Dunne is one of the good ones.
Bandit
I hope so, the last time police officers came in here it was not so nice.
Killer
You can fucking say that again.
Tori
Hopefully it’s good news.
Robinson nods as he folds his heavily tattooed arms across his chest before looking over to Jenni.
Matt
It’s good to see you, Jenni. How are you holding up?
Jenni shrugs.
Jenni
I’m here, for the moment, that’s enough.
Robinson nods as for the second time, Bruiser appears followed by a middle-aged man with dark brown hair and a beard dressed in a suit with a police badge strapped to his belt.
Bruiser
Officer Liam Dunne here to see ya’ll.
The officer nods to everyone.
Liam
Ladies… and gentleman. I am happy to inform you all that Frank and Anne Carter have been brought into custody… and due to the severity of this case, the court hearing will be taking place on Wednesday.
Tori’s face immediately lights up before she embraces Mox before being joined in the embrace by Killer who nods.
Killer
That’s great fucking news!
Bandit
I’m honestly stunned.
Jenni
I…
She starts to tear up and Bullet quickly takes her into her arms.
Bullet
It’s alright…
Robinson offers Dunne a handshake and it’s accepted.
Matt
Thank you, officer.
The officer nods before taking his leave and Robinson turns his attention back to Jenni, he goes to place his hand on her shoulder but then decides against it and folds his arms again.
Matt
They’re gonna get what they deserve, Jenni… I promise.
Jenni nods slowly, still trembling from the emotions washing over her. Bandit grins at the bar.
Bandit
Hey Mox, what have we got that’s good?
Mox’s eyes flash.
Mox
What’s your pleasure, Sugar? The stock’s all still good. It wasn’t hurt at all.
Bandit
Celebration rounds on the house!
Killer
Fuck yeah!
Everyone then makes their way over to the bar and Mox begins to prepare drinks for everyone as we fade.

Off Camera
We open up outside as Killer, Taza, Bullet, Bandit, Mox, Tori and Jenni all exit the courthouse, all of them dressed smart due to the court hearing they were just a part of. Killer lets out a long and drawn out sigh as she puts her arm around her older sister’s shoulders.
Killer
It’s finally fucking over…
Bandit shakes her head.
Bandit
I’ve never heard a judge as angry as that family court judge was. I think she would have locked them up herself if they weren’t already. The way she said “Make this court a pawn in a sick game,” I mean…
She blinks in shock.
Bandit
Wow!
Just then, Agent Lizzie Peters along with Robinson come around the side of the building with Rose in a stroller.
Lizzie
Somebody looking for a lost child?
Tori immediately rushes over and lifts Rose up out of the stroller and embraces her as tears stream down her face.
Tori
My sweet baby girl! Mommy’s missed you so much!
Mox walks over and joins them.
Mox
Hey, Sugar…
Tori turns and gives Mox a kiss before handing Rose over to her.
Tori
Our family is complete again, Spice.
Mox nods, kissing Rose’s little head.
Mox
Yeah it is.
Killer, Tori and Mox look over to Peters and Robinson.
Killer
Thank you both for all of your help with this.
Tori nods, still teary eyed.
Tori
Yes, thank you so much!
Lizzie
My boss is almost as pissed as that judge was. I’m just happy this case is over because it was such an egregious example…
Everyone nods in agreement when the doors to the courthouse open again and Frank and Anne Carter are escorted out in handcuffs by police officers. Killer spots them and begins to make her way over to them, naturally everyone else with her immediately follows on after her, expecting the worst.
Tori
Kara! Don’t do anything stu--
Killer cuts her off by raising her hand and then cuts off her own father before he’s able to say anything as well.
Killer
Don’t say a fucking thing and just listen! We hope you fucking rot for everything you’ve done! Taking Rose away from us?! Having Jackson murdered?!
Matt
My parents too…
Killer nods.
Killer
Today you didn’t just lose your fucking freedom! You lost your entire fucking family! Because as far as we’re concerned? We don’t have parents! But we have a family that has done more for us than either of you two have ever done for us! So good fucking riddance!
Taza
Kara…
Killer
Relax, I’m done.
The group then turn their backs on Frank and Anne and start walking away. Robinson walks next to Jenni and puts his hands into his pockets.
Matt
You okay, Jenni?
Jenni just nods as she watches Jackson’s killers being led away.
Jenni
I just do not wish to see or speak to them…
Matt
Well you never have to. Those bastards will never see the light of day ever again after everything they did to us.
Bandit
Come on… let’s go home so we can get ready to move on to what’s next instead of being stuck on their bullshit!
Killer
I’ll drink to that!
Robinson nods as he stops in his tracks.
Matt
You ladies enjoy yourselves, I’ve gotta get back home to my kids. But before I go…
He turns his attention to Jenni again.
Matt
If I’m out of line asking this, Jenni… then I apologise. But I’d like to take you out for dinner some time.
Jenni
Oh wow… I…
She pauses, obviously completely caught off-guard.
Jenni
I’m bloody spinning… but I feel I should say yes to you if for nothing else than to get meself out of the bloody house.
Matt
How about tomorrow? I’ll pick you up at seven?
Jenni nods.
Jenni
Brilliant.
Robinson smiles and nods.
Matt
I’ll see you tomorrow then. You all take care.
Robinson gives everyone a wave before walking off in the opposite direction and once he’s disappeared around the corner, Killer turns to Bandit with a smirk on her face as she outstretches her hand.
Killer
Told you he liked her Jack, now you owe me twenty bucks.
Bandit hands her a twenty.
Bandit
Never let it be said I don’t pay off…
Killer laughs and shoves the note into her pocket as the group makes their way to the parking lot as we fade.

On Camera
We open back up to find Killer and Bandit, collectively known as The Wild Hunt sitting on a couple of wooden stools while looking into the camera in front of them. Killer crosses her tree trunk like arms across her broad chest and glances over to her tag team partner.
Killer
Hey Jack? You a believer in superstition?
Smirking, Bandit starts singing.
Bandit
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Well, I ain't superstitious, oh the black cat just cross my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I might get put in jail
Killer chuckles.
Killer
I’m sure you’re aware of the phrase “third times the charm”, SCRS? Because this will be the third time SCRS will be going up against The Wild Hunt.
Bandit
You know they’re going to say it doesn’t matter because fuck us, schmucks up, schmucks down, right?
Killer
I’m aware. But I don’t care.
The behemoth shrugs.
Killer
It’s like I’ve suddenly had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. SCRS can run their mouths about us all they want. They can mock us over losing to Grundy two weeks ago. They can continue talking about how we’re a couple of nobodies. Because the reality of the situation is that you and I both know how good we are in that ring. We both know that we are a damn good tag team so… why the fuck should we pay attention to what anyone says about us anymore?
Bandit shakes her head.
Bandit
Nobodies…
Her hand squeezes into a fist.
Bandit
That is honestly the single most…
Cutting herself off, Bandit grits her teeth and looks away.
Bandit
Your queen didn’t think we were nobodies when she was making her name here against us! Neither did Cain or Skrabz or anybody else who ever stepped in there with us and if your queen tries to say that to Skrabz, she’s gonna get Mic Check’d back into reality in a hurry and find out she’s just been keeping his property warm for him!
Killer nods.
Killer
Exactly. I mean, we’ll give you credit where credit is due… you came here and you were the first team to beat us, and then you took the titles from us. But if we’re just a couple of nobodies? If we’re not worth a damn in your eyes when it comes to what we do in the middle of that ring? What does that make you two? Surely it would mean that you aren’t that great either.
Bandit
And it means those championships that you carry around that should symbolize that SCRS are THE shit around here just mean you’re the same old shit and nobody should give a good goddamn about any of you or anything and if that’s the case then what the fuck are we even doing this for?
She wags a finger at the camera.
Bandit
Those fucking champinships should be sacred! They are what every team that comes in here strives to be, what they strive to achieve! They mean you are the best this company has to offer and to treat them as less than means you shit on everyone who has ever worked here and given their blood, sweat, tears, time and effort for anything including your own goddamn queen!
Killer
And that is why we will always be better than you in every single way. Because we actually give a fuck about those belts that you carry. The moment Jack and I first won those championships, beating our own sisters to do so? I was on top of the fucking world! I was on top of the fucking world because I knew the history of those belts!
Killer points to Bandit.
Killer
I knew that tagging alongside this woman! My fucking sister! A sister who I would die for! I knew that I was tagging with the best tag team specialist this company has ever fucking seen! I was proud to hold those championships with her! And that’s why seeing you two with those belts… that you two have admitted to yourselves that you don’t give a fuck about… that pisses us off! You’re not champions! Hell, you’re not even wrestlers! You’re just a couple of pathetic pawns here to protect your queen!
Bandit
And you should be so much more than that!
She points accusingly into the camera.
Bandit
You should be building a legacy that would rival any faction in the history of this business! You should have the kind of cred both in the ring and on the street that is usually reserved for the Charters of the Hell’s Angels from the 60’s that everyone talks about in hushed overtones because they don’t want another Altamont to happen to them! That’s who you SHOULD be!
Killer
And that’s the difference between the two of us and the two of you. Because we are proud to be who we are! We fight to be who we want to be, who we should be, and we do it without giving a damn what anyone else thinks or says about us! We are fucking Shieldmaidens!
Killer points to Bandit and then to herself.
Killer
We are The Wild Hunt! And we’re coming to take back what belongs to us!
Bandit
You smell that?
She sniffs the air.
Bandit
There’s blood in the water… it’s time to take down the prey! The Hunt… is on!
Killer and Bandit then bump their fists as the scene fades.
