Chanel #99 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Port Authority DocksBrooklyn, NY Its the dead of night on a cold empty dock where we see Cassidy Maguire stood in front of a huge red crate. Soon emerging from opposite her is Leon Rodez, bound in black jeans and a leather jacket. LEON Well? CASSIDY Well?! Is that what you say? Where's my brother? LEON What do you actually care? Why do you want him back? I thought you disliked Colin. CASSIDY I don't want him back. But, no one else will do anything to defeat you and Aunt Reagan until he's back picking clovers in the field. So hand him over. LEON You still didn't answer my question. CASSIDY Fine, you want answers. I don't want to lose. I need to beat Aunt Regan, and by extension you, and the best chance I have to do that is with more vampires. Right now I have one. One. I'd like my second one back, so again, hand him over. LEON You don't love your brother. CASSIDY I can't stand him. He's selfish, he's stubborn, he's mean, and he frankly he's an idiot. But he's my idiot so again, hand him the fuck over. LEON Heh. Okay. Leon snaps his fingers, leading Scourge and Rayder and Sloppy Joe to escort Colin, no worse for wear from behind a giant grate to Cassidy. SCOURGE Ay, you 'ave your brother, now give us Maggie. CASSIDY Fine. Colin, open the door to my crate. Colin doesn't like being told what to do by his sister, but nonetheless he opens the door to reveal Maggie sat on a chair, also in good health in spite of her situation. MAGGIE Leon. LEON Hurry up, I don't have all day. MAGGIE Come here. LEON Why should I? This isn't a rescue, but like Cassidy, I hate to lose. That's why you're here, that's it. MAGGIE Please, come here! Not knowing why Maggie wants to be near him despite her usual disdain for him, Leon is struck with a bout of curiosity and when he enters the crate to meet her things change. Change for the worse. For the second Leon stands up, he becomes Teddy Buckworth. BUCKWORTH Leon Rodez. Buckworth steps out of crate, leaving behind a fury stricken Leon. Not for long, as Leon dives forward...but yet he is left behind as an invisible force field keeps him there. LEON What the hell is going on? CASSIDY Maggie is safe on a plane to Edmonton, probably watching Ice Age. LEON I don't give a damn about Maggie! Why am I stuck in here! CASSIDY Ah, that. I don't have to tell you why you're stuck inside a crate my brother's bank account paid for, but I love to gloat so here goes. I pooled my power with mommy and Cassidy #2 and we cloaked Teddy as Maggie, which was easy. The harder part was putting up a magical barrier to seal you inside, had to sacrifice a lot of goats . But it was so worth it. LEON Scourge, Rayder, get them! BUCKWORTH Ah-ah-ah. LEON Get them! BUCKWORTH Before you rush headlong to almost certain death. I would like to invite you all to employ just a bit of common sense. Is your loyalty to Leon best paid with your blood? You can not hope to break the curse yourselves, and given that there is both a vampire and a very powerful witch you will die in the process of trying to free him. For what? To avenge a fool, marching you headlong to your very extinction to satisfy his need to inflict harm on others and to claim a small boy for a witch you've only just met? Is this how you have envisioned your lives ending? LEON Don't listen to him! BUCKWORTH The only danger here is the choice you must make. SLOPPY JOE Guys, guys, let's be smart. He has a point. LEON He doesn't! He does not! Scourge turns to Rayder, who responds only with closed eyes and a nod. SCOURGE We'll try to get you out of here one day. Move out! Heads hang low, defeat stings, but their lives are spared as the three Menagerie members make their exit. COLIN Now then, I thank you for your help, Theodore, and sister, but I believe I will take control of the situation from here on out. Showcasing his trademark smirk, Colin takes a victory swagger towards Leon. COLIN It may have been my sister's intent to merely leave you in this compartment but I find that on the whole unsuitable for what you've done to my family. Thus, you will be going to the bottom of the ocean, where you will drown in darkness again and again over the course of centuries. This will be your splendidly horrific and perpetual end. CASSIDY I just want you to know Aunt Reagan's death will be spectacular. COLIN And on that note, I hope you remember my face, for it shall be the last one you ever see. SLAM!
