Several hours after a meal, Tokes and Hawk stand at the gate. A car can be seen idling. Outer Circle folks are loading Hawk’s bag into the trunk.

Tokes: Hawk, I want to thank you for fulfilling what I asked for in our match. Anytime you want to visit, our doors are open to you.

Hawk: Yeah, I thought this place would be creepy or lame. But the food is good. These people, they all seem very happy. You take care of them well.

Tokes: I aim for that. Oh, and one more thing.

Tokes pulls a letter out of his coat and hands it to Hawk.

Tokes: If you ever feel down, read that.

Evan comes running up with Rufus and Anya behind him. He hands Hawk a fresh chocolate chip cookie.

Evan: Mr. Hawk, you have a safe trip. I can’t wait to see you at Mania. Give em the biggest #TakeThat anyone has ever given!

Hawk: Thanks Evan. You take care.

Hawk nods and enters the car. The folks from the Compound watch as it pulls away. As the car disappears over a hill, the folks return inside. All but Tokes. He looks out, as if waiting for someone else to approach the gate. He turns and goes back inside the Compound as the massive doors close behind him.

--------------------------------------------

Hawk opens the paper Tokes handed to him. It is short, and to the point:

The next time we face, I hope either or both of us is holding some Gold. Don’t give up. Story ain’t over for you yet.

Hawk looks at the letter for a long moment then puts it away. He looks at the driver

Hawk: Don't take me home. Just drop me back off at Tropicana Fields. I think...I think I know what I have to do….
