::Laura Tavares is seen in the gym lifting some weights when she has to put them down and grabs at her back. Her friend Chrissy walks over to her::

Chrissy:
“Are you okay? Maybe it’s too soon to work out again”

Laura:
“No, I’m fine I have a match on Saturday and I need to be in top shape for it”

Chrissy:
“I don’t know if that’s such a good idea, you are pretty bruised up”

::Laura turns around and shows the welts on her back from the suri stick::

Laura:
“I know its bad. But I signed up for this business and I know the risks. My only worries right now are Alex Cross.”

Chrissy:
“What about Lindsay? You’re just gonna let it go like that?”

Laura:
“She beat me, its done. I mean I have to focus on the task at hand for now and that’s Alex Cross”

Chrissy:
“Laura... Put the weights down for a second and talk to me”

::Laura puts the weights down and sits on the bench next to Chrissy. She grabs a towel and wipes off her forehead::

Chrissy:
“Laura she beat you in a match where you didn’t have an advantage. I think if you two had an actual wrestling match you would kick her ass. That bitch has been torturing you, you can’t just give up now.”

Laura:
“I guess you’re right but I just need time to heal before I get I can get back to her.”

::Laura looks as if she’s going to cry and walks away from Chrissy. Chrissy follows her and puts her arm on her shoulder. Laura flinches in pain from the welts and Chrissy moves her hand::

Laura:
“You don’t get it Chrissy. This is more than a fight, more than a wrestling match. This is personal. The stuff she said about me and Johnny is disgusting and I want to just rip her apart. She’s maniacal and every time I try I get too aggressive and it works against me. I just don’t know what to do!”

Chrissy:
“Stop stop, it’s fine Laura I understand. Go out there Saturday and kick Cross’ teeth down his throat. Than we can worry about Lindsay another time okay?”

Laura:
“Once im 100 percent healed. That girl is going to get what’s coming to her. Whether it’s the last thing I do. I don’t care if its now, later, a year from now. It will happen mark my words. For now though I have to focus on Alex”

::Chrissy nods and they walk over to the ellipticals::

Chrissy:
“So.. How’s it feel to be married to the Champ?”

::Laura smiles and the scene cuts out::
