It’s early in the night as a cab drives up in front of the… Quickly, the door flies open and a figure steps onto the side walk dressed in an outrageous LOKI costume. After fixing his outfit, the man bends down to the window and hands the cabbie some cash.

Unknown Loki: Here ya go, bub! Try not to spend it in one Mosque!

As the figure turns, we see that it’s none other than the cracked clown of the ACW himself, WISECRACK. Ignoring the looks and the points, he parades majestically into the back entrance and waves at the security guard.

Wisecrack: I’m on the list…Wisecrack…or….Loki….well, HELL Floyd, ya know me!

Floyd just stares and nods.

Wisecrack looks around: Don’t tell me the BOYS haven’t arrived yet? I gave them specific instructions and money for a cab!

Floyd continues to stare: El Loko and Maddog? You gave them cash and directions and you think their actually gonna find their way here?

The LWO manager crunches his face: OH! Hadn’t thought of it like that. Not good. How soon does the show start?

Floyd, who never takes his eyes off the Loki/Wisecrack: They got like an hour and we are underway!

Wisecrack just shrugs his shoulders: Oh, well, FLOYD, call me a cab!

But as the security guard picks up the phone and begins calling, the cracked clown looks on impatiently. THEN, he gets a look of realization. He walks over to the door where El Loko and Maddog stand wearing Vikings outfits. Wisecrack looks them up and down and stares indignantly for quite a while. Finally, he speaks.

Wisecrack: Hello, boys. Where ya been?

El Loko and Maddog look at each other and back to the clown. They both shrug.

Wisecrack: Oh, nevermind! Tell me you didn’t forget out little friend!

Suddenly, the two Hispanic twins come to life and reach just outside the door and pull a figure through the door.

Wisecrack: Who the HELL is this and where did ya get him, Minnesota? I didn’t give you that much money!

Once again the Wonder Twins shrug.

Wisecrack: Oh, never mind, got that cab comin’, Floyd?

Floyd stares: Should be here any minute.

Wisecrack and his entourage start for the door and Ashley Sparxxx steps in and stops cold. Wisecrack waves the boys and their Viking friend on and steps up to the lovely ring announcer.

Wisecrack: Hey, Ashley, you doin’ anything after the show?

Ashley stares at the gaudy costume and answers: No, I have no plans…

Wisecrack: Well, keep it like that, babes. (he double winks at her) Clk! Clk! Feelin’ a little horny!

And, with that, he disappears through the door. The hot Ashley Sparxxx surprisingly watches him leave with a look of horror on her face.​

Kerry Buckingham is beginning to worry. She has never seen Jack quite like this. The fashion designer - usually so gentle and level-headed - is pacing around like a trapped animal, all but foaming at the mouth, brusquely shaking off each attempt by either Buckingham or his partner, Darren Pesinger, to make him come to his senses. In fact, as Kerry suddenly realises, the roles have been inverted. Darren is now the voice of reason, trying to calm his partner down as best he can, whereas Jack is the impetuous, hot-headed half of the pair. The Brit winces as the cowboy makes another valiant attempt, only to be rebuked by his best friend:

Darren Pesinger: Jackie, calm down, son! Ain't no use in you bein' all riled up like that...

Jack Ripper (snapping): Don't tell me there's no goddamn use! I'll be as riled up as I want to be, and it's none of your business anyway!

Appalled, Kerry tries to intervene herself:

Kerry Buckingham: Now, darling...! Do calm down!

Jack turns on her as well, but by this point his eyes are streaked with tears, and his tone is more pleading than angry:

Jack Ripper: He's my DAD, Kerry! My goddamn DAD! I didn't expect him to like me or accept me all of a sudden...but to fake mental injury...

The fashion designer looks about to burst into tears, but the journalist seems, surprisingly, more pensive than touched. After a moment's silent pondering, she comes up with a surprising question:

Kerry Buckingham: How do you know he is faking?

Both members of RipperCussions frown, but Kerry does not miss a beat:

Kerry Buckingham: Yes, dears. Think about it. What if Jaxxon actually *is* mentally unstable, and Wisecrack is preying on it? From what I have managed to dig up, by talking to nurses, his primary physician, and so forth, Mr. Ripper really does appear to be mentally unbalanced. He has odd moments of lucidity - in which he calls your name, Jack - but my general impression was that he was, most definitely, crazy. And of course, birds of a feather flock together...and Mr. Cracks is remarkably intelligent...

As the British reporter speaks, it is clear that Jack is putting the pieces together. His prior agitation has been replaced with a thoughtful scowl, and he strokes his chin with two fingers, in the typical attitude of someone deep in thought. By his side, Darren does the same, although Kerry suspects his brain is not processing at quite the same speed. At lenght, it is the oldest Ripper son who speaks:

Jack Ripper: But then...if he truly is insane...I'll be fighting a lunatic! A lunatic who happens to be my own Dad!

The Brit nods gravely:

Kerry Buckingham: Yes, dear. But some things need to be done. Don't you agree?

Before Jackie can answer, Darren cuts in, in his usual, brash fashion:

Darren Pesinger: Hell, Jackie, I'm by your side, purdner! If they come at us, we's gon' kick their asses together!

The cowboy's bluntness draws the usual smile from Ripper, who now looks, in turn, at the two main people in his life, a touched grin lighting up his features:

Jack Ripper: Thanks, guys. That really means a lot. Whatever happens...we're a team, right?

The designer holds out his hands, which Kerry and Darren cover with their own, in a gesture of unity, as they echo their friend's words:

Darren Pesinger/Kerry Buckingham: We're a team.
