<we cut to Nowhere where Ellie May and Arctic McBearington are playing Bridge with Opus and Drunkey. Drunkette is baking a strawberry rhubarb pie and Bill and Justin are trying to solve the mystery. They stand in front of a large board with a picture of Danny Taylor in the middle, and all the OOWF superstars around him>
JS: Ok……I’ll tell you the name, and you tell me if they have ties to Danny, ok?

JS: Ahhhh! You’re right! Ok, what about Stank?
ABFD: Stankin Mann is a Saint, and he and Danny don’t see eye to eye on how for to do stuff

JS: Good point! Ok, Alexis Darlington
ABFD: She’s onna them thar Kings too

ABFD: Really?
JS: You’re right (Justin tacks a string from Fire to Danny)
ABFD: Who’s next?
JS: Mai
ABFD: Hmm, the only one gooder than Danny is Mai……but she is a Muyo. I don’t think Your Muyo would do that……..but she WAS in the Right Chere Guard
JS: So she is a suspect then! Ok, Spider McNulty
ABFD: Was Spider Man McNutty even here then?
JS: I don’t…….remember…….but wasn’t he in the bar with Moose and that Jake guy once?
ABFD: Jake Roberts? The Snake? That ol boy was outdamnstandener than hell!

ABFD: Ol Ellie Dee From Cana-Dee is a Saint
JS: Enough said. And Ecosystem is…..well, Ecosystem. What about Rory Albright
ABFD: <thinking for a minute, stroking his imaginary goatee> Well hell son, ol Rolling Atnight warn’t here when Danny done got runned over. But, if I was gonna run someone over, I wouldn’t want to be there either so then no one would thinkify that it was me!
JS: <staring at Bill> That’s……..that’s BRILLIANT! He might be our lead suspect now! (pins a line from Rory to Danny) Chris Evans
ABFD: Chris Stevens was also Right Guard, and him and Danny done feudified several times too!
JS: a sound argument! Tommy Wilder
ABFD: Damn son, you think ol Tommy Wildernhell would do that?
JS: Well…..he likes to do crazy stuff
ABFD: But run over ol Danny?
JS: Maybe he was driving with his eyes closed?
ABFD: Say…….that SOUNDS like something Tommy would do!
JS: Yep, he is a suspect too. Miranda Williams
ABFD: Hmmm Miranda Rights is a Williams, Miran-dee from Cana-dee might do that to make her daddy happy
JS: <frowning> I don’t think she would do that
ABFD: Hain’t she also from that Columbiya down in Southern America? Ain’t they always blowin stuff up and what not?
JS: Yeah……..I guess. Ok, Tuska?
ABFD: He warn’t here neither…….but neither was Spider
JS: That is true! Power
ABFD: Ol Pawr is tryin’ to be nice, but that girl done got a dark side of the moon in her
JS: maybe she’s trying to be nice because she ran over Danny?
ABFD: Hell yeah son! That makes sense! Give her a string too!
JS: Dee and DK Murphy. Couldn’t be them, they are Drink and Destroy
ABFD: Yeah, but you seen them both be that Barcalounger Behind Jack, and that ol boy ain’t right
JS: So, maybe one of them did it while they were Back of Beyond Jack?
ABFD: Could be son!
JS: I think you’re right. Ok, almost done…….Jos and Allen
ABFD: Also Suicidal Kings
JS: Moose and Chloe
ABFD: Seriously son?
JS: You’re right. But Moose said he didn’t do it
ABFD: Mooseheaded Jack don’t never tell the truth
JS: Ok, let me look this over, tie this to this, this one over here……..here to here…….over to there……back to this one……..here an……..HELP! HELP! BILL! IT DONE GOT ME!
<Justin taps out furiously as he gets more and more tangled in the strings. He starts to hyperventilate and starts going catatonic when Arctic, Bill and Ellie May save him>
JS: THAT WAS CLOSE! I SAW MY LIFE PASS BEFORE MY EYES!
<While Justin gets his breathing under control, everyone in BFE stares at the chart. Suddenly Justin’s eyes get wide>
JS: We’re missin someone!
ABFD: Who?
JS: US!
ABFD: OH NO!
JS: Where were you that night?
ABFD: With you! Where was you?
JS: With you!
ABFD: Where was we?
JS: I don’t remember!
ABFD: OH NO!
JS: Wait……it couldn’t have been us!
ABFD: Why?
JS: Cause it was in the parking lot!
ABFD: We banned from the parking lot?
JS: We is………<crowd sings along>
BANNED FROM EVERYWHERE!ABFD: HOT DAMN!
EMFE: <rubbing her temples> If I might add, it couldn’t have been either of you anyway
JS: Why not?
EMFE: Cause neither of you can drive a car. Justin, you lost your license……..
AM: Justin lost his license? I had no idea! Was it an accident?
EMFE: No, I am pretty sure it was on purpose, he said “I am going to misplace my license so I can’t drive. Then set it down and walked away.”
AM: I don’t think it works that way
EMFE: You have been around here long enough to know that things never work the way they are supposed to with these guys
AM: Fair enough, what about Bill
EMFE: Bill is on the permanent DO NOT GIVE A LICENSE TO THIS MAN EVER list
AM: That’s a thing?
EMFE: There is a reason it’s called the Awesome Bill List
AM: Who else is on it?
EMFE: So far? No one
JS: Walking close to the map (but with a kendo stick in his hands just in case it decides to attack again) That only leaves one person………..
ABFD: Who?
JS: Well……..if you rule out Vic, Ashley and Specer, various stage hands, Ric Flair, Paul Roma, managers, board members, referee’s, former OOWF wrestlers, all future OOWF wrestlers, Corax, Semaj B, Spin Hansen and Patrick………that just leaves one person
Danny Taylor
ABFD: <eyes getting big> You think Danny done runned hisself down?
JS: It makes perfect sense!
EMFE: It does?
JS: Danny gets in a car and starts it up and gets it rolling…….then gets out of the car and catches up with it and runs himself over! Danny is left laying in the parking lot, the car drives off on its own, its………….the perfect crime!
<a silence falls over Nowhere. Ellie May and Arctic are just shaking their heads slowly, Opus and Drunky are waiting for the bridge game to continue, Bill stares wide eyed and slack jawed at Justin. A bell goes off, and Drunkette’s strawberry rhubarb pie is done. The noise brings everyone back>
EMFE: That is the most ridiculous…….
<there is a knock at the door, Ellie walks over and reaches for the knob>
EMFE: This can only be one person……..
<she opens the door and Attitude Adjuster is standing there with a briefcase>
AA: Alan Capps Attorney at Law, I hear you have a break in the case of Danny Taylor vs. Automobile in Wrestling Parking Lot?
ABFD: Ol Justin done figured it out!
AA: Hmm, we’ll see. I cracked the case of Four Horsemen vs. Barry Windham in Wrestling Parking Lot, and nWo vs. The Rock in a Wrestling Parking lot, and I am THIS close to closing the Vince McMahon Exploding Limo in Wrestling Parking Lot. Let me see what you have here
<Justin explains it all again to AA, and once again gets tangled up in the strings, AA tries to help, but he is quickly forced to tap out as well. Just before chaos ensues Ellie May saves them all…….again>
AA: That board is a danger to society! Ok…..ahem…..it looks like we have a case here. Now, what we need to do is find the Car so we can put the Car on the stand.
ABFD: Hows we gonna do that? They said them there tapes had all been destroyed and what not! It could be ANY car out there! You know how many cars they is in the world? Gotta be DOZENS!
AA: Good point. Hmm…..what we need to do is to lure the car back to the wrestling parking lot……..we need to set a trap!
ABFD: You mean like onna them thar bugs bunny traps?
AA: Something like that. Ok, Justin, Bill I want you two to go out in the parking lot and walk reeaaaaaaal slowly. Act like you aren’t paying attention at all. When that car comes up behind you to run you over, Drunkey and Drunkette will throw a net over it! We will catch it RED HANDED!
ABFD: HELL YEAH SON!
JS: LET’S DO THIS!
ABFD: GRAB THE CAR CATCHING NET JUSTIN! HOT DAMN!!!!!
<Bill, Justin, Drunkey and Drunkette leave Nowhere. Ellie May shakes her head and just looks at AA>
EMFE: Why do you encourage them?
AA: What? It’s harmless fun!
EMFE: They are out wandering around a parking lot trying to throw a net over a car
AA: Yeah?
EMFE: And you see nothing wrong with that?
AA: Have I ever told you about my tag team match with Kevin Nash against the Monarchs of Canadian Violence?
EMFE: Wait, that was real?
AA: Psssshhhhhhhh of COURSE it was real! Me and Nash put Canadian wrestling on the MAP! Before we got there it was just a bunch of drunk lumberjacks fighting over the last drop of maple syrup! We ARE wrestling in Canada! Why do you think they loved me and Johnny so much?
EMFE: Isn’t there STILL a warrant for your arrest, right here in Canada?
AA: Wait……did I say me and Nash? I uh……I meant El Pollo Del Rudo Dos! Yeah……..I mean……THAT is who they want! Attitude Adjuster is INNOCENT! I uh……….I have to be going now……..how far is it to the border…….just a………..I mean, just in case……..I have this important shipment of fish sticks to……..uh……gotta go!
<AA runs out the door and Ellie May just sighs>
EMFE: Come on Arctic, let’s go get them before they get killed
<fade>
