{ After Sacrifice went off the air, James Gilmore sat on a bench inside one of the Tokyo Dome's locker suites. Breathing labored, sweating profusely, shaking from head to toe, the Islander alum had wrestled Nick Knight for about an hour. He had planned on attending a special post-show party with Caroline Machado and company. The next day, he was planning on taking both his and Nicky's families to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea to celebrate the final full day in Japan before heading back to the Metroplex.
The Brazilian sat down next to JJ, trying to get a gauge on what was wrong. }
Caroline Machado: JJ...? Are you coming to that party with us...?!
{ When James turned to look at his original trainee and best friend, Caroline's jaw dropped to the floor. His face was as pale as a zombie, his eyes bloodshot, and he was clutching onto his chest. JJ gently patted Caroline on the shoulder. }
James Gilmore: Go on, kiddo. Go on without me…
{ Caroline shook her head solemnly. She, too, looked a bit disheveled from that ladder match, but otherwise doctors had cleared her for normal activities. Yet the last thing she wanted to see, more than anything else, was her mentor in such distress. }
James Gilmore: I ain't doin' too good right now…
{ JJ tried to stand up, but eventually collapsed to the gray carpet. Fiona McFly, after walking in and seeing what was going on, immediately rushed back out to get EMTs and other medical personnel as Caroline stayed at his side. Fiona rushed back into the scene, flanked by doctors, trainers, and EMTs. A human wall formed around JJ was the whitecoats provided the life-saving care that he needed. Fiona and Caroline looked on as they checked on the Islander alum and gave him fluids. The two women, shaken to their cores, could only close their eyes and pray.
Yet for Caroline in particular?
It was too much for her to bear. }
