CHAPTER 10
FADE IN:
EXT. BLAKE CITY, THE JADE PUB - NIGHT
A large pub, featuring another image of Jade on the sign. The parking lot is nearly full. The windows are stained green.
INT. BLAKE CITY, THE JADE PUB - NIGHT
Drunken customers fill the place wall to wall. Irish music plays over everyone's conversations. At the bar sits a large, muscular man with red hair, bits of his black hooded-sweatshirt are torn around the sleeves. He's got a half-empty mug of green beer clenched in his fist. This is RON KOKKIVOC, aka GORE THE RED.
A bartender leans in to his face and gets his attention
BARTENDER
Excuse me, you're Ron, correct?
RON
Yeah. What's it to ya?
BARTENDER
You were requested in the back room, sir.
RON
By who?
BARTENDER
Ms. Jade.
RON
Oh. Where is this room?
BARTENDER
Right behind the bar, sir. If you just go around-
Ron climbs over the bar and walks to the door.
BARTENDER
Or that.
INT. BLAKE CITY, JADE'S PUB, BACK ROOM - NIGHT
Moira sits on a couch, still in costume, holding an empty bottle of Jade Brew. She places it among several other empty bottles on the table. Ron walks in and smiles at her.
RON
How do you get in without getting noticed.
MOIRA
Window.
RON
That's a shame, you own this place and you have to sneak in through the window.
MOIRA
I was kidding. There's a back door...
RON
Nevermind then. How have you been?
MOIRA
Fine. What are you doing back in town?
RON
Decided I would see what you and Blur have been keeping yourselves busy with these days. Thought I'd bust up a few baddies with you for old time's sake. Where is the quick little fella anyway?
MOIRA
The asylum.
RON
I knew it!
MOIRA
No, somebody is trying to break in and kill the Red Dynamo.
RON
Oh. What did ol' Macky do?
Moira shrugs.
MOIRA
So, Wayne left the city to me tonight. Unless you would like to join me.
RON
You're such a flirt.
Moira's face turns red. Ron laughs.
RON
I'm just kidding. I know you're Wayne's girl.
MOIRA
What, no I'm not. We're just-
Ron interrupts.
RON
Whatever. I'd love to go out for a night on the town with you.
EXT. BLAKE CITY, TOWNHOUSES - NIGHT
One of the worst places in Blake City, a neighborhood full of connected townhouses. Nothing is well kept, the state of the lawns and exteriors of the homes are ignored. A large van parks outside of one of the houses. A man runs inside of the house. Moira and Ron sneak up to the van, they open up the back. Several large bricks of cocaine wrapped in tape populate the back of the van.
MOIRA
Just as I thought!
RON
Lucky guess...
Ron looks at Moira waiting for a laugh. He eventually gets it.
RON
How would you like to execute this?
MOIRA
I have an idea.
MOMENTS LATER:
Moira and Ron are nowhere to be seen. The man with the van walks outside and around to the back of the van. He opens it up and starts grabbing the bricks. After he removes a few of them he sees Moira sitting in the back with a bright smile. She points her grapple at him and extends it, it hits him in the face and knocks him out.
The door to the house breaks in half and another man bursts through it. Ron steps out over top of him. He's still awake. Moira gets out and runs over to them.
RON (to man)
Who told you to sell this stuff.
MAN
I don't know! I was just buying some!
RON
Just?
Ron punches the man and knocks him out. Moira runs over to the man she knocked out and shakes him back awake.
MOIRA
Hey!
DEALER
What did you do to me, bitch?
MOIRA
I knocked you out. Who gave you all of this.
DEALER
Fuck off.
MOIRA
Do you know my friend? They call him Gore The Red.
DEALER
I said "Fuck off."
Ron stands over him.
RON
Hey. I'm Gore The Red!
MOIRA
Now, if you don't tell us who you got all of this from my friend is going to have to force it out of you.
DEALER
It was Roland Kassir. OK? Let me go now.
EXT. BLAKE CITY POLICE DEPT. - NIGHT
The dealer and his customer stand with their hands behind their back tied to a light post. The van full of drugs next to them.
INT. ROLAND KASSIR'S MANSION - NIGHT
Several men stand guarding the home. Guns ready. The door is punched in and Moira runs inside. The guards open fire. She manages to duck and dodge every bullet. She trips one guard and the gun manages to shoot out another's knee. she charges at one and punches him in the face. He drops his gun she grabs it by the barrel and tosses it at the last standing guard, knocking him out. Ron enters after the gunfire stops.
INT. ROLAND KASSIR'S MANSION, ROLAND'S OFFICE - NIGHT
Moira opens the door and Roland opens fire. He stops when Moira goes out of sight. Ron steps in and Roland shoots again, hitting Ron in the arm. Ron angrily glares at Roland. He runs at him full-force and kicks his desk which slides backward and knocks him out of his window. Moira jumps onto the table and uses her grapple to pull him back up. Roland's head is badly scarred. Police sirens can be heard in the distance.
MOIRA
I think we should go...
FADE OUT.
