We see Fire Engines, police cars and Ambulances everywhere emergency personnel running about as the sounds of screams and cries fill the night. Smoke and fire come roaring out of the windows of the Ray house as the Ray family and neighbors can do nothing more than watch as everything burns to the ground.
Firefighter - " Everyone back away, please. "
Danny Ray walks down the road a bit holding the two twins in his arms as his wife and two oldest boys Daniel and Thomas follow him along with a few neighbors. As the emergency crews try to do their jobs and get the fire under control the Ray children are heartbroken. The Family Man tries to comfort them and let them know everything will be okay but the kids are so young and scared they just don't understand whats going on.
Danny Ray - " Kid's I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I promise everything will be okay it was only material things everything can be replaced. At least we still have each other right? "
Danny Ray - " See God made sure we all made it out okay, none of us was hurt, see he is watching over us. "
A couple more Fire Engines pull up as the fire has begun to spread to nearby trees getting closer to the surrounding houses. A couple police officers start walking towards the Ray family as the children are still upset.
Police Officer #1 - " Sir may I ask you a few questions? "
Danny Ray - " Of course officer, anything. "
Police Officer #1 - " Do you by chance have any idea how the fire started? Or where it started what room? "
Danny Ray - " No, sir, the kid's were all in bed my wife and me was in our room watching tv, as a new episode of The Flash was on. When we started smelling smoke so I went into the living room to check it out the closer I got the smokier it got so I yelled at my wife to get out of the house. I ran and grabbed all four of my children and called 911. "
Danny Ray - " I never went back in Officer. "
Police Officer #2 - " Well Mr. Ray, your family is very lucky the way it looks the house is gone the fire has completely destroyed it. Won't know for sure until the firefighters get it completely under control and they get inside to see the full damage. Sorry about your luck. "
Police Officer #1 - " Mr and Mss. Ray do you all have a place to go tonight? "
Danny Ray - " Yes, Officer we will be fine thank you. "
The Police officers say goodbye and head back towards the other emergency teams and begin to do the rest of their job as the Ray family stand and watch as their family home smolders and becomes ash. The Family Man turns to his kid's as he bends down to one knee and begins to speak to them.
Danny Ray - " Remember kid's God never sends you into a situation alone. He goes before you. He stands beside you. He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have, be confident because God is with you. "
Amanda Ray heads over to the family's minivan and begins to load the children up as the Police officers have offered them a chance to leave so they can get some rest. The Ray family has had an extremely stressful night and heads to the local Hotel Eight.
9:41 am just a little over six hours after losing their house the Ray family with the exception of Danny Ray are sound asleep in their hotel rooms. The children spent most of the night crying as they just lost everything and just didn't know what was going on or what to do. Amanda Ray the strong woman she is holding it all together for the kids until they went to sleep then cried herself to sleep in her loving husband's arms.
Danny Ray, on the other hand, has been awake and sitting in a hard wooden chair for the last four hours thinking about his next move. A little bit of sunlight can be seen coming through a crack in the curtains as Danny Ray sits in the chair watching his beautiful wife sleep. He knows he needs to get to a store and buy some clothing for everyone along with hygiene products as they no longer own anything.
He can still hear the sound of his little girl screaming as she watches her home burn to the ground, as the fire destroys everything she knows. He can see the tears running down the faces of each one of his children's faces as they watch the emergency crews try and put out the blaze. The sirens, the screaming, crying, the yelling, all of the noise rushing through his head as he sit's there trying to get a little rest.
Danny Ray looks up with a tear in his eye and begins to speak to the Lord...
Danny Ray - " Lord forgive me for my lack of faith, for my doubt, I now understand what you were trying to do and it took me losing everything I own and my family owns to realize I need to get back right with you Lord. Please forgive me of my sins and my self-righteousness. I will give myself back to you I will bring you back into my life, my family's lives you will be number one Lord. Just show me the way. "
As The Family Man sits there praying he can feel the burden lift from his heart as if a weight has been removed from his shoulders. As if the chains and shackles of the world have been removed from his ankles and wrist.
Danny Ray - " Lord Thank you so mu... "
All The Sudden the scene turns to Danny Ray sitting in his basement sitting in front of his computer doing a video promo.
Danny Ray - " Bobby, Bobby now was that the type of promo you were expecting from me this week for our match at Xtraction? Where I sit and talk about my personal life or maybe my family for you and the fans see two of us can do that can't we. Not today, Let's see I watched your little show, you're little rotten day clip not bad but Bobby we all know you wouldn't walk anywhere you would just have another car come pick you up. You want to talk let's talk no bull, no holding back. "
Danny Ray - "Let's see, so I am fake, I tell my family not to come to my matches to much, I act crazy, I hear voices, I don't pay for all of my meals, I dress to poorly, my faith is not strong enough to your liking. Did I get everything you covered in your little assessment? "
Danny Ray - " First off Bobby you should really do your homework a little better you're saying the same thing that my last few opponents have said. You should really come up with a little more original stuff, or hire better writers for you and the Icons. "
Danny Ray - " Now lets get to one of the big problems you have with me my faith, see that's the good thing about faith no matter what God has given me a way to always come back to him and be forgiven for whatever I have done so If I stray and lose faith or question it, he will take me back all I have to do is ask for forgiveness. Isn't that amazing!!! "
The Family Man seems to be enjoying himself as he speaks to Bobby Barratt.
Danny Ray - " Yeah, I have had one hell of a bad year it's been complete shit, and to be honest the bad has outweighed the good. Some of us don't have daddy's money to just go buy any and everything we want to make everything okay. Some of us had to actually work for a living and earn what we have. You can take that any way you want to you say I'm fake because one day I'm a happy family man the next day I'm a crazy monster. To be honest, that's me I don't know who I am anymore from day to day, my family knows who I am and my problems and that's all that matters. Now can I say who will show up at Xtraction: Blood Money to face you no I can't and I really don't care anymore. "
Danny Ray - " What I do know this match will not be a cake walk for you and it will not be a way for you to feed your ego. I will not allow you to just walk into Xtraction take the Prestige Class championship as if it's another toy for you and the Icons. See Bobby, the Prestige Class Championship title means more to me than just an ego boost to me, it means I have reached a level that not a lot of athletes have it means I am a champion it means a paycheck and food for my children and wife. It also means AWF has a champion it can be proud of. "
Danny Ray - " Okay a couple more little things you hit on oh yeah paying for my meals. I pay for pretty much everything once in a blue moon I may get a free meal, besides your one to be talking about someone needing to pay for something. What was the other thing oh that's right I look homeless, well excuse me if I prefer to buy my clothing at Walmart so I can pay bills and have a roof over my family's heads instead of buying clothing that cost more than a house? "
The Family Man leans back opening the top drawer on the desk pulling out a couple pill bottles, as he sits them on the desk he removes the lids taking a couple pills from each taking them with a drink of water from the glass next to him. After swallowing the medication he takes a couple deep breaths and goes back to his message to Bobby Barratt.
Danny Ray - " The almighty Prodigy the man who's better than the common man, better than the family man. Yeah, I'm fat out of shape and I do splashes off the top rope at least I'm willing to do what it takes to take care of my family. I know I know you will come up with some clever little way to use that statement against me one day who care's. "
Danny Ray - " Let me explain something to you Bobby Barratt while you, Jack, your old Friend Shawn and the rest of the Icons are sharing Jenny Stackhouse I will be at home with my wife and children having a REAL LIFE!!! "
Danny Ray - " Yes, Bobby, don't think I didn't think about what I just said now you're going to make a comment about my family, my wife that's how you are. So you can say I lowered myself to your level for this match just think about one thing which face of the family man will you be facing because I have many? "
Danny Ray - " See Bobby, I have many faces I have many personalities and at times I can't control them. My family helps me keep in touch with who I really am but soon you will figure out you may not want to push me. Because you may not like who you get. "
Danny Ray reaches over shutting off the computer as he's laughing while tugging at his hair.
