Donnovan Midas is seen sitting at the foot of a bed with the phone receiver to his ear listening to a man as he speaks. Donnovan is fully dressed and has sunglasses hooked on the top of his head as if he is prepared to walk out the door�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
I am not going to tell you again that you have got it all wrong!

Donnovan reaches for his head rubbing his tempo in frustration as the person on the other end of the phone speaks�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

Listen the cameras follow me all the time, I had just left the set with Monique�

Donnovan pauses for a moment�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
You know what that is fine by me, you can say all you want that you didn�t sign that shirt, I don�t really care. I gave ACE the shirt who said he gave it to JOE who in return gave it back to us and said that you signed it for Monique� The same with PDJ and the rest, I went thru there people, I really don�t have time to be chasing down all of you for a nice gesture. You all have people around you and I take advantage of that by contacting them when I can�t get a hold of you guys. But if you think telling the world about that will discredit me then I have to really consider if I am talking to Phillip Shane Abernathy or the Phil�

Donnovan brings the phone down to his waist and has a looks on his face of complete frustration�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

I am not scared of you! I have never been and never will be! I tried my best to apologize to you now and explain to you that it was a mistake on my part and I didn�t want to be the one to fill you in on the stuff that you didn�t know.

Donnovan is once again listening as the man speaks; he reaches over to his mini-bar and grabs a bottle of water�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Well if you are so grateful that you found out, then why are you calling me giving me such a hard time about being the one that told you! Everyone in your camp was walking around not telling you anything and the entire world knew what had happened and you were the only one left in the dark.

Donnovan takes a sip of the water�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

What hypnotist? (Pauses for a moment) ACE told me about that, and when I watched later I saw that the guy was escorted back to the crazy ward because he was a resident there, so no one believes what that guy was saying� In addition you are arguing with the one guy who believes you!

There is a knock at the door

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Give me a break MAN! You are killing me right now, I understand you are upset but you are talking to me like I am supposed to be impressed!

  The knocking on the door continues as Donnovan walks over and opens it revealing Anthony Christopher Edwards standing there with two cups of coffee in hand�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

You want to know something PAL, I have stood hear talking to you for the last hour and all I can say is if you think you are such a tough guy then just step up and see what The Legend is made of�

ACE sets down the cups of coffee and takes off his sunglasses�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Donnovan Midas is not scared of anyone P.M.S, you get a bump on your head ten years ago and now all of a sudden you want all of us to look at you and show a little sympathy, well guess what buddy you don�t know who you are messing with. Donnovan Midas is a legend in this sport and no matter how much you think you can stand toe to toe with a legend you will fall at my hand 10 out of 10 times� NO NO NO I am talking right now you are listening buddy, your little girlfriend beat you up and put you in a coma twice! Well P.M.S I can obviously tell that you don�t have skills with the ladies like your friend Donnovan Midas has because if that was my women I would have �

Donnovan is interrupted while he is talking, after about two minutes Donnovan takes the receiver from his ear and slams the phone down�
--- ACE ---
Donnovan what the hell was that?

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Get on the phone with Schultz INC and tell them that I want the usual on Phil!

--- ACE �
Are you sure about that DON?

--- ACE ---

Don�t question what I say just do it�

Donnovan reaches over and grabs his coffee as both men leave the room; they head to ACE�S SUV and begin to drive�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
I am going to leave that man crippled when I am done with him! He has no clue who he has messed with ACE, he doesn�t know what we can do to him right!

--- ACE ---
Yeah RIGHT DON�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
First I want to end his career, maybe snap his leg or something! Then I want to steal his women, just don�t tell Deb. Then �

All of a sudden ACE turns the vehicle around and begins to go the opposite way�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
What the hell are you doing!?!

--- ACE ---

Just sit back I am going to take you to see a person that you need to see right now�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

The only person I need to see right now is Robert Schultz and my FILES!

ACE ignores Donnovan as he begins to get very irritated, they are driving the opposite way from there desired location. As we get closer to the location where ACE is driving him, Donnovan picks up his phone and begins to call someone�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Yes can I please speak to Greg White� I don�t care what he is doing� tell him it is the man who puts the fans in the seats on the phone and he will get off of his assistant and take the call �

ACE pulls into a area that appears to be a park, as we get closer to certain landmarks in the park we realize that it is not a park but a cemetery�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

What the hell are we doing here?!?

They finally pull over and ACE gets out of the drivers seat and walks over to Donnovan�s side of the car and opens the door� He looks at Donnovan and asks him to get out, Donnovan still has the cell in his hand and you hear talking but the look on Donnovan�s face has changed from anger to shock.. The phone slide down his face and he closes it as the approach a grave�

--- ACE ---
Look � Look at it! You see that right there Don, that right there is something that you needed to see right now� Phil gets you on the phone and pisses you off and you go back to your old ways�

Donnovan interrupts

--- Donnovan Midas ---

It is not that simple �

ACE interrupts

--- ACE ---

No it is that simple! You worked so hard since his death to change the man that you are, you know what anger and hatred did to you thru out those years and in the blink of an eye you were ready to throw it away because Phil was a prick to you! COME ON DON, they are always going to be pricks� They are always going to get under your skin and they are always going to try mind games and he played one on you and all you want to do is destroy him�
Donnovan is staring down at the ground as ACE is yelling at him, the emotions on Donnovans face show a man who is regretting everything that he as said and done over the last few moments� He stares down at the grave of his friend and mentor Steve Stansky and remembers the hatred he felt for him over those years and how devastation it was for him to pass away with that hatred in his heart�

--- ACE ---
Do you even remember what you said to him, I sat with you Don in that room as you watched that tape and said over and over again how you regretted the last few years of your life and how you enjoy life so much better with love in your heart� Don did you hear yourself in the car?

Donnovan turns to ACE a looks at him for a moment and begins to stare at the grave once again�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Yeah I know� but � it is just hard to explain � he questioned everything I did and I don know ACE it was like everything inside of me just wanted to crush him� Like �

--- ACE ---

Like what?

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Like with Steve �

Donnovan kneels on the grave of Steve Stansky as ACE�S phone rings and he picks it up, the other person on the end of the phone is speaking fast and ACE is just listening�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
Alright � can you please get Phil on the phone I would like to speak to him and apologize�

ACE puts his hand over the cell phone and takes it away from his face

--- ACE ---
I think it is too late for that now Don; this is Robert he says that Phil just did a segment on WpW TV�

--- Donnovan Midas ---
(Look of disappointment) What did he say?

--- ACE ---
He laid into you Don, Robert said that he talked about the shirt you gave to Monique and that he is going to see Dr Moria about a hypnotist�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

See that hypnotist shit (Mocking ACE) No Don don�t worry about it no one is going to take that hypnotist thing seriously (Stops mocking ACE) Now isn�t that what you said to me, now look he is thinks we are playing mind games�

--- ACE ---

Robert said that we can be on air with the files in one hour if you give the GO�

Donnovan stands there with the sun glazing in his eye and he contemplates if he should betray everything he has held dear for the last few months since the death of Steve Stansky out of REVENGE� If he should become the Donnovan Midas that he dreads to think of and simply play this game with Phillip Shane Abernathy and expose certain things that would surely prolong this feud between the two men for many years to come� As he stands there looking at ACE the words of Steve Stansky begin to echo in his head, the thought of all the years he had wasted hating this man only for the end to come and for him to be left with emptiness and a hole in his heart that cannot be filled because of this mans death� Is hate truly the path that Donnovan Midas wants to walk down, or is forgiveness the chosen rode for Donnovan Midas �

--- ACE ---
Don what�s it going to be?

--- Donnovan Midas ---

Don�t do it� I am done talking � I have already talked too much for one day� I will let my actions at Goldpush so the talking �

As Donnovan goes to get into the car he turns around does the cross on his forehead bidding a farewell to his friend Steve Stansky� ACE is about to get in the car when Donnovan yells out to him�

--- Donnovan Midas ---

ACE � Thanks �.

--- ACE ---

What would you do without me Don�

They both get into the car and drive away
