Looking for Trouble

*Johnny Young is roaming around backstage. He appears to be looking for something or someone. He comes to a door marked 'Storm Watch Rehearsal Studio' and pushes the door open. The room is filled with set pieces for the Storm Watch talk show. There is a new desk in the middle of the room. It is still being built but it is obvious it is a replacement for the desk that Johnny was recently powerbombed through during an altercation with Storm Harrison's new bodyguard, Caleb. Suddenly, the door to the room opens again and Tony Raine of the Tornadoes walks in holding a cup of tea. He sees Johnny, drops the cup and tries to run but Johnny grabs him by the collar.*

Tony Raine: Hey hey! Look, Johnny, look. Please. I didn't do anything to you. You don't have to do this.

Johnny Young: I had a mind to put you through that desk for payback. Where's your slimy boss, Storm Harrison?

TR: Johnny, listen. I don't know anything. I didn't know that was going to happen. I didn't know he hired Caleb. I'm sorry. Just please! Let me go. I'm not a wrestler. I'm a musician! Please!!!

JY: You're a liar! *Johnny slam Tony up against the door* I want to know where he is! I want to know where both of them are! And I know you know!!!

TR: Please. Please believe me. I don't know.

*Johnny grabs Tony by the throat.*

JY: This is it. You tell me where they are right now or I'm going to see to it that you never play an instrument again.

TR: I don't know!!! Johnny I don't know where they are!!!! Ok look. I'll tell you but just, please, please let go of me.......... please?

*Johnny releases Tony and he gasps for air. He takes a moment and then looks at Johnny, terrified.*

TR: I really don't know where they are. That's the truth. After you were on the show, Storm and Caleb took off. We haven't seen them since. They haven't showed up for rehearsals, staff meetings, nothing. We've been waiting but I think Storm abandoned the show. I don't know where he's at. I don't know when he's coming back. But Johnny....... He is coming back. He'll be back with that big monster of his. When that happens, oh I don't want to be in your shoes. Not for one second. *Tony gains some measure of courage and smirks at Johnny* You're doomed...

*Johnny grabs Tony by the collar again and tosses him into a large sign propped up in the corner. Johnny rips the door open and walks out.*
