*The camera shows The Masked Gecko standing with his back turned to the camera,finishing up from getting his wrestling gear on. Just as he pulls his mask on, his cellphone rings from inside his gym bag. He finishes up with the mask ,turns and starts digging thru his bag to get his phone.
Gex:" Hello?"
Caller: "Mister Gecko, I presume?"
Gex:" " Yes, this is.."
* Gex pulls the cellphone away from his ear to look at the caller ID. The number is marked private and the caller is not named. Gex then returns the phone to his ear.
Gex:" Who is this?"
Caller:" Who I am is not important right now,but what I could offer you can be....."
*The Gecko interrupts the sentence...
Gex:" Wait a minute there buddy, I am quite happy with my insurance at the moment so I dont think that I would want ...."
Caller:" SILIENCE, you fool! I am not some would be salesman trying to pitch some meaningless product your way!"
The Caller pauses and draws a breath and sighs.
Caller:"Now then, If you are interested in what I have to tell you, you will not interrupt again."
Gex:" Allright, sure , go ahead. You got 1 minute of my time I guess."
Caller:" Oh, one minute of the Masked Geckos time. Are you sure thats all you can spare for me? Why , I thought you would be more gracious, more compelled to hear this that I could....."
*Gex says in a more irritated tone...
Gex:" 30 seconds..."
Caller:" Alas, I suppose I was wrong. To think you would have been interested in a new treatment to cure your Skin condition. To be able to walk around,wrestle, to be looked at normally as a human being instead of being gawked at by passer bys. Well, sorry to have wasted your time..
*the Gecko stands shocked, eyes wide open, mouth agape at the words the mysterious caller has told him.
Caller:" Well, then Goodbye."
Gex:"Wait, Wait ,wait, Hold on a sec there Bub, I know you cant be serious about this. I have been all over the world, seeing specialist after specialist about this condition. Its untreatable. I am stuck with it for the rest of my life. Why should I think you have the answer?"
Caller: " Inside your locker, you will find a small vial on the top shelf in the back. It is a small dose to treat a small area. Crack open the seal and use it quickly on an area of skin. You must use it quickly after you break the seal because the active ingredients become inert after exposure to the air. Try it, I will call you back after some time to see what you think and what you can do for me in return for giving you the treatments if interested."
The caller hangs up.
Gecko then goes to his locker, opens the door, feels his way around the top shelf of his locker and then retrieves the small vial. He looks at it curiously.he removes his lefthand glove, flakes of skin come drifting down out of it. He looks at the back of his hand. It is dry, cracked,large patches of skin looking to peel right off. He takes a deep breath and cracks open the airtight seal on the vial and pours out an amber liquid that covers a small area on the back of his hand. Almost immediately , his skin soaks up the liquid and becomes soft and pliable. A small patch of skin has become as smooth and fresh as a babys bottom.
Gex:" Well, I'll be a Son of a Crocodile!! Well, lets just see how long this lasts once..."
