The Reason
Scene One Riot - 2-11
(The scene opens with Daniel Russow walking down the hall and coming to the door I hat reads “Laura Phoenix.” He knocks on the door, and hears a voice from inside.)
“It’s open!”
(Daniel opens the door to see Laura sitting at her desk, as Nick Madison is sitting in another chair holding and playing with Aaron. Daniel walks in as Laura looks up.)
Daniel Russow: Hey guys.
Nick Madison: Sup man?
Laura Phoenix: What’s going on?
(Daniel takes a seat next to Nick, and messes with Aaron for a second, causing Aaron to giggle.)
Daniel Russow: Was wonderingbif you had a minute to chat?
Nick Madison: Doooo I need to take Aaron out?
Daniel Russow: Nah man, it’s nothing like that.
Laura Phoenix: What can I do for you, Daniel?
Daniel Russow: Well, long story short, I’d really like to be booked more consistently. I kinda was before the break, and I get I was injured and all, but kinda get the feeling with the…
(Daniel hesitates for a second.)
Daniel Russow: With the current state of management, I wanna know that I can trust to be booked. With Audrey being so far along, and the docs really not wanting her flying, it makes sense for me to get a tour bus for us to travel, it I can only justify that if I’m being booked consistently ya know?
Nick Madison: Sounds reasonable.
Laura Phoenix: Indeed it does.
Daniel Russow: Kinda figures you guys would understand out of anybody with Aaron. Plus given what’s going on with, well I’ll just be honest, I don’t feel comfortable talking to Star about my position or booking in the company.
Laura Phoenix: I understand. Well I can make sure you’re booked for the next show. I’m sure we can give you one of the development talent. As for Demon’s Run, I’m afraid that show is already booked up I think. I can see what I can do, it can’t make any promises.
Daniel Russow: Thats fine, after being in two straight shows I don’t have to have a match at the ppv, plus I know I’m coming to you with short notice.
Laura Phoenix: Here’s what I can do though, I’ll make sure you have something lined up for Destiny. It’s our biggest show of the year and you are an intergalactic part of our roster...and I do appreciate you coming to me like this instead of airing your grievances on Twitter.
Daniel Russow: Yeah, probably wasn’t my wisest moves back then.
Laura Phoenix: Ya think?
Daniel Russow: Sorry, my bad.
Laura Phoenix: Just try not to let it happen again.
Daniel Russow: I won’t incriminate the lot of you again….can’t make any promises about Star though.
Laura Phoenix: Just be careful with that, okay?
Daniel Russow: Gotcha.
Laura Phoenix: Was there anything else you needed?
(Daniel stands up.)
Daniel Russow: Nope. That was it. I’ll go get ready for match and talk to you guys later.
(Daniel turns and and leans down in front of Aaron, holding out his hand in a fist.)
Daniel Russow: Fist bump lil dude?
(Aaron giggles, and surprisingly makes a weak fist and touches his to Daniel’s. Daniel smiles as he straightens up.)
Daniel Russow: Sweet. See ya guys later.
Nick Madison: See ya, man.
Laura Phoenix: Later.
(Daniel walks out of the office.)

Scene Two NYC Church - Thursday 2-20
(Daniel walks into the church, and as he’s walking down the aisle, he is greeted by a familiar face.)
Father Dominick: Daniel, how are you son?
Daniel Russow: I’m good, Father Dominick, how are you?
Father Dominick: Blessed to have another day. What can I do for you? I trust things are still going okay with everything?
Daniel Russow: Oh yeah, I’m in a good place now.
Father Dominick: That is a blessing to hear.
Daniel Russow: I know that dark side of me is still there, but with everything going on, I’ve managed to kinda push it way down. Which I wanted to talk to you about something.
Father Dominick: What’s that?
Daniel Russow: Well, my wife and I were talking, and she was w- well, we were wondering if, after our baby girl is born, you would be willing to...I dunno, bless her or something? It’s just something that’s pretty important to Audrey.
Father Dominick: I would love to. When is she due?
Daniel Russow: April 22nd.
Father Dominick: Ah, Earth Day.
Daniel Russow: Yeah, and a week before Audrey’s birthday.
Father Dominick: Oh, what a lovely precious gift. I’d be happy to bless the child, and I would love to meet your wife. You have told me so much about her over these few conversations that she must be a lovely person.
Daniel Russow: She’s was he best. She’s what keeps me out of the dark place. I’ll try to bring her by when I can. It’s kinda getting hard for her to move around.
Father Dominick: I understand. Well, whenever she is feeling up to it, I would love to meet her.
Daniel Russow: Definitely, maybe sometime after we get back from the show in Detroit next week. I’ve got another match, and I’ve got a bus so it’ll be easier for her to travel with me.
Father Dominick: That is good news.
Daniel Russow: There is something else I was wondering if you could do.
Father Dominick: What’s that?
Daniel Russow: Pray for us? I know things are about to get crazy. We have Audrey’s brother living with us for a bit to help out, but he just found out that he’s going on tour with his music this summer. I just...they lost their parents in a tragic accident, and Audrey and her brother are extremely close. I just want him to be safe.
Father Dominick: I will pray for his safety, is there anything else?
Daniel Russow: Pray for me? Pray that I can know what to do, cause I’m honestly freaking out. I know Audrey is gonna be an amazing mom, but I am freakin’ terrified of being a dad…
Father Dominick: You are going to be an incredible father, Daniel. And I already pray for you each day.
Daniel Russow: You do?
Father Dominick: Yea, I pray that you have strength to be the man you want to be, the man your family needs you to be.
Daniel Russow: I- thank you.
Father Dominick: Of course, son.
Daniel Russow: Well, I should get going. I have some training to do, and don’t wanna be gone from Audrey for too long.
Father Dominick: Indeed, go with peace son. I’ll see you again soon.
Daniel Russow: Thank you, father. Take it easy, see you soon.
(The two part ways, as Daniel leaves the church.)

Scene Three en Route to Detroit Monday 2-24
(Daniel and Audrey are cuddled on the couch in the bus, as it drives on the way to the show in Detroit. Audrey is laying down, as Daniel has his head resting on her stomach. Audrey lets out a sigh, causing Faniel to raise his head.)
Daniel Russow: Is everything okay?
Audrey Russow: Everything couldn’t be better. I’m so happy I’m getting to come with you.
Daniel Russow: It killed me not having you there last week, being away from you for so long. So, I went and talked to Laura about getting more bookings so I could justify getting this bus. I probably won’t have a match for Demon’s Run, but I’m ok with that. Plus, she said she would try to make sure I had something for Destiny.
Audrey Russow: Destiny...not long after our little girl is being born.
Daniel Russow: I know, whatever match I have...hell, every match, I dedicate to the two of you. You two are the reason for everything I do.
(Audrey lets out a big smile on her face.)
Audrey Russow: I know you’re worried, but you’re going to be an amazing dad.
Daniel Russow: I sure hope so.
Audrey Russow: I have faith. I believe in you. I believe in us.
Daniel Russow: I sure do love the hell outta you.
Audrey Russow: Heh, I know. I love you too.
(Daniel rests his head back on Audrey’s stomach.)
Audrey Russow: So, you ready for your match against Travis Ryan?
Daniel Russow: Yeah. Laura said it would be a development talent, kinda glad it’s Ryan. Facing a masked guy takes me back to the Deviant days a bit.
Audrey Russow: Not too much I hope.
Daniel Russow: Don’t worry, Deviant isn’t coming back anytime soon. I’ve moved past that.
Audrey Russow: Hunny, you’re a Russow. You’re always going to have that dark side inside you, and know that I’m always going to stand beside you...just try to keep it down for a while? Only bring it out if it’s absolutely needed.
Daniel Russow: I’m trying to.
Audrey Russow: Like, I don’t think Travis Ryan has done anything to warrant that kind of brutality. It’s just a normal match.
Daniel Russow: Well, I mean I still gotta win…
Audrey Russow: I didn’t say anything about not winning.
(The two laugh, before Audrey tenses you a bit, and Daniel’s face lights up.)
Audrey Russow: Oh, she’s kicking.
Daniel Russow: I feel her.
Audrey Russow: I think I’m gonna try to take a nap.
Daniel Russow: Alright, get some rest.
(The scene fades as Audrey lays back down to nap. It’s not long before she’s asleep, and Daniel looks lovingly at her, as he whispers something under his breath.)
Daniel Russow: Till the ends of the earth, I’ll follow you. I will protect you, I will stand for you.
