RYAN WANTS HIS BAT BACK (AFTER BLOOD RUNS COLD)

[Ryan Hughes]

The dazzling lights portray an empty corridor, apart from the few staff about and a couple of fans hanging around for autographs. When a distant shouting and angry footsteps are heard. The voice turns out to be the voice of "The Batman" Ryan Hughes as he storms past like a man possesed. A young boy steps out from the side of the corridor.

Boy: Can I have your autograph, Mr Batman?

Ryan looks around with a mad look that makes the young boy flinch. Ryan, seeing this, smiles and speaks in a calm voice.

Ryan: Yeah, sure thing kid.

He gets the Blood Runs Cold programme the boy is holding and signs it.

Ryan: There you go kid.

The child runs to his parents with a gleeful expression then turns around.

Boy: Thank you Mr Batman!

At this point Ryan is already off the corridor and the deranged look returns to his face. He looks at each dorr he passes.

Ryan: SKULL! SKULL! Where is he?

There is man stood eating a donut who just turns round and gives Ryan a wierd look. This man is Hank the commentator.
Ryan storms up to him, twists his shirt collar and pins him against the wall.

Ryan: Im talking to you... WHERE IS SKULL???

Hank: I - I - I think he is i-in his locker room,... please dont eat me!

Ryan throws Hank to the ground and storms off. He turns left, then right, then left again, until he finds Skulls locker room door. He starts pounding the door.

Ryan: SKULL! SKULL! I WANT MY BAT BACK!

He continues to hammer the door with anger and velocity.

[Skull]

Ryan continues to hammer on the door but gets no reply. After banging on it a few more times he decides to try the handle and to his surprise the door opens. Still furious, Ryan barges into the room and sees a shadowy figure sitting in the darkness. The batman switches on the light and the figure is revealed to be Skull dressed in a long black hooded cloak and still wearing the battered hockey mask from his match earlier that night. As bright light fills the room, Skull looks up but says nothing.

At first Ryan wonders why Skull was sitting in the dark but he just writes it off as Skull being a freak and decides to demand his bat back.

I'm not playing your games, Skull. Give me my bat back NOW!

Skull continues his silent act, not moving at all and just staring at Ryan through the eye slits in the mask.

Ryan: What's wrong with you? Tell me where it is or I'll beat the answer out of you.

As Skull continues to say nothing, Ryan gets frustrated and grabs him by the collar and pulls him to his feet. He then pins Skull against the wall just like he did to Hank and asks him one more time.

Ryan: Last time. Where is it?

When this fails, Ryan punches him in the stomach and rips off the mask. To his surprise the face behind it doesn't belong to Skull.

Ryan: Who the hell are you, and where's Skull?

The looks up at Ryan Hughes, struggling to speak, winded after the punch to the stomach.

??: He... he knew you were looking for him. He's waiting for you in the parking lot.

The man then starts to smile despite the beating he has taken.

??: You might wanna bring Robin along to help you.

Ryan just ignores him, dropping him to the floor and makes his way to the parking lot.

TBC in the parking lot

[Ryan Hughes]

Ryan storms out of Skulls locker room leaving the unknown decoy spluttering from the shot to the stomach.

RH: SKULL!!! IM COMING FOR YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!

Hughes storms out of the area for the locker rooms looking deranged, bringing shocked looks from Fighty fighty persons stood about with drinks talking, like Raj Kim Po and Ken Acton who were discussing something about a wrestling club, and a startled cameraman who was just thrown out of a romm full of hissing noises.

As he reached the parking lot that was nearly empty except for a few cars that belongs to admin and backstage staff, he shouted again.

RH: SKULL, SKULL, GET OUT HERE AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN, I WANT MY BAT BACK NOW!!!
