Jackson Visits The Doctor

[Jackson Montgomery]

THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED THE MORNING FOLLOWING TURMOIL 136.

 

Jackson Montgomery: So I gave an old lady the finger today.

 

The camera, which was zoomed in on Jackson’s face, begins to zoom out. Jackson is lying on a red plush couch with his hands clasped together on his chest. As per the norm, Jackson has on his sunglasses and a white tshirt with the black letters reading, “THIS IS MY B-17 SHIRT”. The walls of the room he's in is covered in degrees and shelves with many, many books. Sitting to Jackson’s left and just behind him in a chair made of mahogany, sits Dr. Gregory Bishop.

 

Jackson Montgomery: Did ya hear me doc? I said I gave an old lady the finger.

 

Dr. Bishop: Yes, yes I heard. What made you do such a thing?

 

Jackson Montgomery: I was walking down the street, minding my own business and thinking about my upcoming match with B-17 at Summercide and this little old lady came out of a nearby department store and hits me with the door! That I was ok with. Accident happen. But then she said, “Oh my. Excuse me dear. I never expect someone to be right outside the door when I open it.” Can you believe that, doc?

 

Dr. Bishop sits with his own ready to write but with a confused look on his face. Surely woman, an older woman at that, doesn't deserve such treatment; especially after apologizing!

 

Dr. Bishop: Jackson, I'm not sure I see the issue here.

 

Jackson jumps up from his prone position and is now sitting up, burning a hole through the doctor. The doctor still looks confused but his facial expression is slowly changing to one of concern as he looks at Jackson.

 

Jackson Montgomery: Look doc. She knew it was me and since all of B-17’s fans are children under the age of 8 and women over the age of 60, she was obviously trying to hurt me so B could get an advantage at Summercide.

 

Dr. Bishop: Are you sure it wasn't just an accident? She did apologize after all.

 

Jackson reaches up and scratches his head for a second, then strokes his beard.

 

Jackson Montgomery: Yea I guess you're right. Dammit! Now I have to hunt this lady down and apologize to her! Anyway doc, I'm having some mixed feelings about my match at Summercide. I mean, B-17 and I basically started the Turmoil brand together at the beginning of the season and now we're at each other's throats.

 

Dr. Bishop: Well Jackson. The first thing you need to do is look back and see where this friendship could have taken a wrong turn. I think I have an idea, but I want you to work it out on your own. Where could this have gone wrong?

 

Jackson hangs his head because he knows where, when, and why it started. Without picking his head up, he answers.

 

Jackson Montgomery: I guess a few months ago. Things were getting heated around the Turmoil Championship and I saw an opportunity, albeit not the best. I put my own interests ahead my friend. My BEST friend. Austin Lee and Sid Harrison showed up and I used it as an excuse to distance myself.

 

The doctor is nodding his head and writing a few things down as Jackson talks. As he finishes, Dr. Bishop pushes his glasses up on his nose, then turns his attention to Jackson.

 

Dr. Bishop: Sounds like you've got some people to apologize to. I wouldn't try “hunting down”, as you put it, the elderly woman from earlier today, but I would suggest Austin Lee, this Sid Harrison character and definitely, if he's your best friend, B-17.

 

Jackson Montgomery: I guess you're right, doc. I've got some calls to make.

 

Jackson stands up, the doctor follows. Jackson reaches out and shakes the hand of Dr. Bishop who returns the shake. As Jackson makes his way to the door, the doctor opens it and says one last thing.

 

Dr. Bishop: We made some good progress these last few sessions. I expect to see you back.

 

Jackson nods in agreement and leaves the room. The doctor shuts the door and seems pleased with his Jackson and himself. It was a good session.

I thought this promo was going a whole different direction after that first line.

[S.Abbott]

I read that first line as I fingered an old lady today.

 

It's been a rough day...

[Madison Cox]

You owe me an apology for the offensive facial hair.

[B-17]

Please don't refer to me as your best friend. That ship sailed a long time ago.
